Franchise Appreciation Day 2023: Date, History, Facts about Franchise

This year, Franchise Appreciation Day is celebrated on Saturday, September 2nd, the Saturday before Labour Day. The day is observed to raise consumer awareness of local franchises and how they can be supported. In addition, entrepreneurs and small business owners learn how to leverage the potential of franchising for business expansion.

The background of Franchise Appreciation Day

The franchise model is regarded as the best business model ever created. It is beneficial for both companies and customers. Through franchising, people all over the world have launched their enterprises.

Franchising dates back to the Middle Ages, despite how odd that may sound. Local authorities granted church officials a licence to collect taxes and maintain business order due to their high social standing. The nobles of mediaeval courts granted individuals permission to engage in commercial activities and organise markets. These early franchisees paid the lords a nominal charge for protection in order to conduct their businesses. The framework under which these early franchisees operated eventually became part of European Common Law.

Franchising fundamentally unites businesses under a single banner to reduce the cost of resources and final product production and to boost sales. It is a common misconception that franchises are always lucrative, but this is not always the case. Franchises make it possible for small businesses to establish their own enterprises with all the necessary resources and the security of an established brand.

National Franchise Appreciation Day encourages consumers to purchase more products from franchised businesses and seeks to foster synergy between similar enterprises.
