HOW WIDESPREAD IS FRANCHISING?
The answer may surprise you.  As of 2001, there were 767,483 business establishments in all domestic franchise systems (either owned by franchisors and franchisees), which employed almost 10 million people, with direct output close to $625 billion, and a payroll of $230 billion.  These establishments account for significant percentage of all establishments in many important lines of business: 56.3% in quick service restaurants, 18.2% in lodging, 14.2% in retail food, and 13.1% in table/full service restaurants.

You may have noticed, these numbers do not include parking management. Why? Because until now there have been no franchise models in the parking management industry. Park Select is a one of a kind! We don’t have to beat the competition. We don’t have any!
