Chief executive Jeff Staniland says until now each Mike Pero franchise has been owner-operated, but that would not be the requirement in the future.“We have got some other changes we are looking at making to our model … to encourage growth,” he says.
“Right now our franchises are what you call sole franchises – so only the owner can operate them, which of course has an implied limit to growth.”
At this stage, Staniland does not want to give further details of the way franchises could be operated, but he says the changes are being introduced now.
