It highlights international markets and the strategies franchises use to succeed globally.

In the article, they explore how franchises are tapping into diverse cultures and economies, which drives growth but requires a deep understanding of local consumer behaviors. This diversity presents both opportunities and challenges, as businesses must tailor their offerings to meet the unique preferences of each market.
