Radiators
I stopped to read this press release because I’ve never heard of a retail radiator franchise before…1-800 Radiators looks interesting for those who enjoy autos and cold-calling sales. But, is it too narrow of a niche?

These guys (1-800-Rad) are 80-90% WHOLESALE driven and do relatively little retail.
Kind of cool concpet considering that cars are getting harder and harder to work on.
Also, their sofware makes the marketing pretty easy to drum-up sales and eliminates the need for cold-calls
Just an FYI

I worked with these guys since Jan. 07. They promised workable territories and sold them out from under me. I like the concept and my pro forma shows very good potential. I talked to several franchisees and they all seemd to like the business. It is a lot of work. They make it sound like they do all of the work for you but you need to be constantly marketing. Always on the road visiting customers and always on the phone. The website makes it look like someone could start it by themself but you need a minimum of 3 employees just to get the doors open. You might even need some family to help the first couple of weeks because the BLITZ is quite effective but qucky tapers and you need to be marketing constantly. Good Luck!!! Do the research.

Apparently there have been a lot of resales by the franchisor in after a year or two of operation.
