Explained in plain English
Franchise Business Model
While McDonald's is a global brand, many of its restaurants, including potentially this one in Honiton, are run by independent franchisees. These individuals or companies pay for the right to use the McDonald's name and system, following strict guidelines. This model allows for rapid expansion and local management, while maintaining brand consistency.
