Ep.185: Alex (@aebridgeman) is joined by Michael Horowitz (@mahorowitz).
My guest today is Michael Horowitz who recently sold a roll-up of 20 Wingstop franchise locations (15 acquired, 7 built, 1 closed) and co-authored a paper with A.J. Wasserstein about the franchise path for entrepreneurs. In this conversation, we discuss his strategy and components of an effective franchise roll-up. We touch on the pros/cons of the franchise path, the role of debt, choosing a brand, challenges, and opportunities with multiple locations, and much more.
