Franchise Times Magazine

Franchise Times Magazine

Franchise Times is a specialized magazine that focuses on the franchise industry, but its readers often say it's more than just a typical trade publication. Published ten times a year, the magazine features expert columns, thorough analyses, investigative reports, and a variety of articles aimed at helping franchisors, multi-unit franchisees, and suppliers enhance their operations. In addition to serious topics, it also offers lighter content, including profiles and stories about the individuals and companies that thrive in various sectors using the franchise model to expand their businesses. Located in Minneapolis, Franchise Times was acquired from Crain Communications in Chicago in 1998. The first issue under the new ownership of Restaurant Finance Corporation came out in 1999. The parent company has now rebranded itself as Franchise Times Corp.
