    this is not the time to invest in casual dining, with the stressed economy, its one of the first things people cut out

    There's a lot more to franchising than just fast food. You can do a tutoring centre, for example.

    I had Jimmy Johns on Friday. Not impressed.

    If I had the money, I'd bring a Pluckers to Houston. Rice Village would be a perfect location except BW3 is already there.

    Don't have to leave the couch til the Jimmy Johns delivery guy knocks on the door with the sandwiches you ordered for delivery.

    I second Pita Pit by a college campus/near some of the campus bars. That thing has a line 5 blocks long on Friday and Saturday nights.
