Just Between Friends is a strange franchise concept

This article on NewsOK is about Just Between Friends, a franchise that offers twice yearly children’s and maternity consignment sales events.

The sales are held twice a year, although that can vary by franchise, and consigners receive up to 70 percent of the selling price on infant, children’s, young teens and maternity clothing, toys and equipment in a large, garage-sale type environment that benefits everyone, Wilburn said. “Our goal is to help moms and families in communities where we’ve sold franchises.”

Just Between Friends made almost $5 million last year, Wilburn said. There are now 66 franchisees in 17 states. A franchise cost $10,500, and franchisees pay royalty fees.

I personally don’t understand why you need to go the franchise way with such a business model. I mean, what is the franchisor bringing to the table? Certainly not brand recognition… Comments are welcome
