Pros
Nice to be affiliated with such a positively perceived brand.
Cons
Getting big and losing that personal feel. Stuck with whatever Area Representative happens to be in your area regardless of incompetence. Inherent conflict of business interests between franchisee and franchisor with some decisions made without regard for negative impact on franchisee. Business model offers below average profitability prospects for franchisee. Unlikely to sell stores for more than it cost to construct. Well intentioned but moments of questionable morality.
