Sandwich Franchise Expansion
Grow a regional sandwich brand from 8 shops to 30 across the state. Decide where to open, what to charge for lunch, how to staff each shop, and whether the brand holds up as it spreads.
Your sandwich shops are a hit in the state capital: fresh-baked bread, a queue at 12:15 and eight locations that all make money. Investors want thirty within four years, across cities where nobody has heard of you and the national sandwich chains are already on every corner. The team decides which cities to open in and in what order, what each new region costs to enter, how to price lunch against the $7 chain footlong and the $14 salad bar, and how many staff each shop needs so that the queue moves without the labour bill eating the margin. It teaches managers the discipline of multi-site expansion — opening costs, the slow ramp of a new shop, and what happens to quality and brand when a business grows faster than its people.
