The National Franchise Show Minneapolis

The concept of the franchise system has its origins in the United States in the 19th century. The idea arose in connection with the expansion of companies such as the Singer Sewing Machine Company and the Coca-Cola Company, which granted franchise licenses to local operators to distribute their products and services in new territories. However, modern franchising as we know it today began in the 1950s with the expansion of fast-food chains like McDonald's. The National Franchise Show Minneapolis is a major trade show for franchising held at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis.

It is aimed at entrepreneurs, investors, and interested individuals who want to find out more about franchising or start their own franchise business. The organizer of the fair is National Event Management Inc., a company specializing in organizing trade and consumer fairs. In addition to being held at the Minneapolis Convention Center, The National Franchise Show is also held at various other locations throughout the United States and Canada. Exact dates and venues may vary by year. The fair offers interested attendees the opportunity to get to know numerous franchise systems, exchange ideas with franchisors, and learn about the advantages and challenges of a franchise partnership. The event is a great opportunity to connect with leading franchise companies from various industries such as hospitality, retail, services, and more. During the event, visitors have the opportunity to obtain comprehensive information about franchise concepts, investment opportunities, market developments, and legal aspects. The fair also offers seminars and workshops in which experts share their knowledge and give advice to potential franchisees. By participating in The National Franchise Show, future franchisees can make valuable contacts and lay the foundation for successful business activities in the franchise sector.

The The National Franchise Show take place annually, and therefore presumably in September 2024 in Minneapolis.
