This issue highlights some of the many fantastic food franchises in our membership, with an emphasis on how they are responding to the needs and wants of local communities across the country. For instance, we take a look at three franchise brands that are satisfying locals’ cravings for international flavours and internationally inspired foods. Later in the issue, we investigate the vegetarian-food “trend”—which shows no signs of slowing down—by analyzing the franchise systems that put plant-based options at the forefront of their menus. And since everyone, everywhere is feeling the pinch of today’s economy, our article on value menus is especially apt; learn how Fat Bastard Burrito, Wendy’s, and Taco Bell are answering their customers’ call for more affordable menu items.
