S6 E12: King of Franchises: The Man Who Owns 2400+ Fast Food Locations

He’s the unabashed king of franchises.

Meet Greg Flynn, the visionary behind Flynn Restaurant Group and Flynn Properties, boasting over 2,400 franchises like Applebee’s, Taco Bell, Panera, and more. His $4 billion empire spans 44 states and employs 73,000 people.

In this episode from the archives, Greg unveils the secrets of his success, like why he remains a true restaurant operator, how he views the art of running a franchise like a collaborative business process, and how the franchising model allows you to focus on what truly matters.

Yeah—this is an episode you won’t want to miss and maybe want to view twice. It’s just. THAT GOOD.
