About Us
About Other Mothers
Because she has opened and operated Other Mothers stores,
Melinda is very aware of the problems a store owner can face.
We know we have to keep our royalties moderate so the store
owner doesn't have to give too little to the people she buys from
and charge too much to the people she sells to. We've learned
and will teach our store owners to rely on inventory turnover to
make the business profitable. As Melinda likes to say "We sell a
lot of hamburgers, cheap."
Our stores compete very successfully with both the smaller
"mom and pop" type stores and the big franchise stores.
Although our stores can be large (more than 5,000 square feet),
we are a small corporation. We want our franchise to be a good
fit for your needs, so we'll tell you both the disadvantages and
advantages to dealing with a small corporation such as ours:

 |
 | We don't have a large corporate staff. | |
| We do not provide financing for your store, you have to | |
| arrange that through your bank. | ||
| There is not the name recognition enjoyed by the large | |
| fast food chains. |
| Our moderate franchise & royalty fees are a reflection | |
| of our low overhead. | ||
| Our small size lets you deal directly with someone that | |
| can make corporate decisions. | ||
| We can give our franchisees a lot of personal | |
| attention. | ||
| We know the importance of making every dollar | |
| count. | ||
| We keep your startup costs to a minimum while we | |
| help you avoid cutting the wrong corners. |
