Well most franchise bidnesses are like that now. Those big ice machines you see sitting on a corner lot where you can fill your cooler for about $2.00 or so. Those machines cost $100K to buy into. Same for UHaul and Penske. I grew up working at a friend's folks U Haul/Texaco in south Macon and they made good money with it. But not that many folks could afford to throw down $100K to get in the truck rental game. And UHaul has a bad rep for throwing another dealer up a mile away from you. And THEN they route all the phone calls they can to the corporate moving centers.That is insane.
There really isn't a cheap or even reasonable franchise bidness out there anymore.
