I won't bang on though. Shame you aren't coming to Shanghai on your trip. Brad Mate

I won’t bang on though. Shame you aren’t coming to Shanghai on your trip.

A franchise can differentiate itself with branding, consistency in quality and assurance. They also can keep costs down in marketing and PR because they are marketing one brand, not many. Perhaps you'd be interested in bringing your business model to Algeria? I think it'd do well here. There are many tailors who work from thier homes. But, not any high-end brandable men's shirt tailors. Chow! Hi Mat,

There is currently no Chinese franchise in Australia. They can go ahead and do anything they want in the absence of competition. Your Starbucks example is perfect Mark, because the that model IS successful - for Gloria Jeans and Hudsons. Starbucks hit the market way too late and the imitators killed off their oxygen supply. Australia has the highest proportion of franchises in the world... that's a fact. We love our franchises and big brands. There's no big brand in Chinese right now. What an opportunity.

Sure, it might work, but what about all the competition? How is this franchise going to differentiate itself? Franchises don't always work, even if they are successful overseas. The experience of Starbucks in Australia testifies to that. Franchise Chinese food? Sure, it might work, but what about all the competition? How is this franchise going to differentiate itself?
