Why multi-unit operators need a specialist
A general commercial broker handles your sites one at a time. A franchise specialist sees the portfolio. We model cannibalization across the group, identify lease renewal arbitrage, and time exits around brand and market cycles. We also have the relationships with national franchisors that matter when you're approaching them as a multi-unit operator rather than a single-unit franchisee.
How we help multi-unit operators
- 1
Portfolio review
We map your existing units against trade areas, lease terms, sales performance, and renewal schedules to identify priorities.
- 2
Expansion site search
We pre-filter new sites against your brand's criteria AND your portfolio's existing footprint to avoid cannibalization.
- 3
Lease optimization
We negotiate renewals, surrender existing leases where the unit is underperforming, and structure new leases for portfolio efficiency.
- 4
Capital structures
Sale-leaseback transactions can free 8 to 12 million dollars of trapped capital from a typical 10-unit portfolio. We structure these with institutional buyers.
- 5
Exit strategy
Whether you sell the portfolio whole, in territory packages, or unit by unit, we structure the process to maximize value.
Who this is for
Operators with 5 to 50+ franchise units in food, fitness, retail, or service. Multi-brand operators expanding within or across categories. Operators considering a sale-leaseback to fund expansion or partial exit. Family office or private equity-backed operator groups. If you have multiple units and real estate is a meaningful piece of your business, this is for you.
