This is compared to 30 to 35 percent of small businesses which fail within the first year of operation. However, owning a Good Feet franchise is not a guaranteed recipe for success. You will still have to comit yourself, your time, and perhaps even make some personal sacrifices in order to succeed.

Can you own another franchise at the same time? Most likely, you will be restricted from purchasing a franchise from franchisor that would be a direct competitor to a Good Feet franchise. However, you may be allowed to purchase a franchise of another type.
