While you will be your own boss, when owning a McAlister's Deli franchise you will not be "on your own". The franchisor will have also committed to fulfill their promises to you as stated in the franchise agreement.
As a franchisee, you may want to know... can I own more than one McAlister's Deli franchise? Franchisors often sell area or master franchises within a certain specified territory. These are of course costly. If you own a single McAlister's Deli franchise and are successful, then if there is an opportunity to develop in another and the territory is available, then the franchisor will usually be pleased to sell you another franchise for the new location.
Be sure to ask about marketing programs (if any) that are offered to McAlister's Deli Franchisees. If your franchise contract requires you to make contributions for larger scale advertising and marketing programs, try to find out how the franchisees participate in decisions on the programs, campaigns and budget management.

There is no legal requirement that the franchisor must provide you with an Earnings Claim, however some franchisors do provide it. If the franchisor has chosen not to provide it, then it remains important to contact other franchisees listed in the disclosure document.
