Read the case Marc's Juicy Lucy that is available in the link below. There are really two types of growth methods for a quick service restaurant, either company-owned stores or franchising. Describe the benefits and drawbacks of each of these methods of business expansion. Which of these methods do you think Marc's Juicy Lucy should use in growing its business and why? Remember that the type of ownership is not important. Family owned businesses can franchise (for example, Chick-fil-a) and corporate owners can have only company stores (for example, Chipotle). So don't get bogged down with the type of ownership of the firm, focus on the advantage and disadvantages of only the method of growth. Make sure that you respond to at least two of your classmates initial posts. These responses should be probing for more information, asking questions about their assumptions, providing your assessment of their answer.
