The Ins and Outs of Franchise Ownership: A Chick-fil-A Case Study

The WorkSmart Podcast With Morgan DeBaun

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a franchise owner? Is it possible to have complete entrepreneurial independence and the ability to make an impact on your local community?

If so, you’ll want to hear my conversation with Kareem Edwards. Kareem got his start at Lehman Brothers, Kraft, and Google — and then went on to open his first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Chicago.

In this episode, we discuss how Kareem learned the Chick-fil-A culture (yes, this means working part-time in the kitchens!), the process it takes to become a franchise owner, and Kareem’s best advice for other aspiring entrepreneurs. “I always tell people just be true to yourself and tell your story and own the why.”
