Family Friendly Restaurants, A Consumer Favorite & Recession Resistant Choice For Business Buyers

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 17, 2009 -
As people juggle jam-packed schedules, cooking meals at home- and the grocery shopping and preparation that home-cooked meals require- is often the first chore to fall by the wayside. At the end of a hectic day people are gathering at casual, family-friendly restaurants (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/food_quick_casual_fran ...) that offer convenient, affordable dining options that appeal to a variety of tastes.

Although dining out at pricey restaurants is on the decline, casual sit-down restaurants are seeing an uptick in sales. In addition to appealing to families, restaurants with more reasonably priced items are attracting consumers who are trading down. Opting for more budget-friendly restaurants as opposed to forsaking eating out altogether is a more realistic option in our on-the-go society.

Franchise owners of these trusted casual restaurant brands are reaping the rewards. Retention of existing customers, combined with an influx of new customers is helping restaurants in this sought-after category thrive. Franchise opportunities in this sector offer prospective business owners the chance to join a flourishing, recession-resistant segment of the restaurant industry. Franchisees that join forces with well-known eateries benefit from proven, perfected recipes and owning a business with instant brand recognition and built-in consumer loyalty.

The Wingman (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/franchise/Wingman.cfm) franchise concept appeals to Americans’ love of chicken wings. Unlike bars that happen to sell wings, Wingman is a family-friendly restaurant featuring wings, complete with a children's menu, combination meals for those who want a complete meal, wing specials for parties, and side items. The Wingman franchise system is a turnkey operation that includes site selection assistance, comprehensive training and support. Prospective Wingman franchisees don’t need to have extensive experience in the restaurant industry. The opportunity is ideal for those who possess strong managerial skills.

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Restaurants (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/franchise/Dickeys_Barb ...) is another leading franchise concept in the casual restaurant segment that offers franchise owners a complete turnkey business system. Dickey’s franchisees receive thorough training in all aspects of the business including management, operations and marketing. Site selection assistance and store design support is also provided. Dickey's has been credited with changing the public's perception of barbecue and taking the category mainstream. Owners of Dickey’s restaurants benefit from the company’s outstanding reputation and authentic barbecue recipes.

In addition to opportunities in the restaurant industry, Franchise Solutions’ business buying directory features business and franchise opportunities in a wide range of categories. The website also provides the latest business ownership news, articles about franchising, tools to connect with companies of interest, as well as additional resources for prospective business owners.
