🔧 One muffler shop. A bold promise. A franchise story that spans decades.

In 1956, Nate Sherman launched Midas, with its first franchise shop in Macon, Georgia.

The idea was simple: replace mufflers quickly and offer a warranty for as long as the customer owned the car.

Within a year, the franchise network reached 100 locations. 🚗

But Midas kept evolving. It expanded beyond mufflers into brakes, tires, oil changes and broader car care—serving more of its customers’ needs.

The lesson for entrepreneurs? Start by solving one problem well. Build trust. Then give customers more reasons to return.

Sometimes, a big business starts with fixing something small.

🍟 Most restaurants sell fries on the side. New York Fries made them the STAR.

In 1983, brothers Jay and Hal Gould discovered a small fry shop at New York’s South Street Seaport. They secured the Canadian rights and opened their first Canadian location at Scarborough Town Centre in August 1984. 🇨🇦

That simple concept grew into a familiar franchise brand across Canadian food courts: fresh-cut fries, made the centre of attention.

The business lesson? You don’t need a massive menu to build a memorable brand. Sometimes, the opportunity is doing one simple thing exceptionally well.

Are you team classic fries or loaded poutine? 👇

🍔 A car dealership sign helped name one of Canada’s best-known burger brands!

In 1959, Harvey’s opened its first restaurant in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Co-founder Richard Mauran bought a sign from a closing car dealership called Harvey’s—and gave it a whole new business. 🇨🇦

The brand built its identity around flame-grilled burgers and toppings chosen by YOU. Its first franchised location followed in Toronto in 1963.

The lesson for entrepreneurs? You don’t always need to invent a new product. Give customers a memorable experience—and build a system that can repeat it.

What’s your go-to Harvey’s order? 👇

He fired all 11 employees. Then had to rebuild.

In a 2014 interview, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? founder Brian Scudamore recalled his 1994 reset—and acknowledged his own management failures. He later described building simple systems for recruiting, training and everyday operations.

My takeaway: before buying a franchise, ask how its operating knowledge reaches the people delivering the service.

“Show me how a new hire learns the work—and how the manager checks it.”

Which would you inspect first: hiring, training or daily operations?
