State Franchise Outlook
Franchising plays a vital role at the national level and in the states. The national franchising level bounced back to the pre-pandemic level in 2021.
But the states have experienced a different level of recovery because of state disparities in business climates, migration trends, and changes in consumer preferences, among others.
Some franchise brands were shut down during the pandemic, which reduced capacity restrictions and decreased customer demand for their products and services, especially as local and state government mandates caused additional and unexpected closures and limitations due to periodic increases in COVID-19 cases.
Regional Trends & Local Business Growth Rates
The franchise plays an essential role at the state level. After the pandemic hit, the state didn’t recover the growth rate because of disparities in business climates, changes in consumer preference, and migration trends.
