What Happens After You Buy a Franchise? with Cassidy Hawkins, Franchise Logistics Manager

In this episode of FranCast by UFG, we sit down with Cassidy Hawkins, Franchise Logistics Manager, to break down what really happens after someone buys a franchise and signs the agreement. Cassidy walks through the opening process from those first welcome conversations to the steps that follow, including real estate, training, marketing, hiring, construction, permitting, and the many details that have to come together before a new location can open. She also explains how UFG helps organize the process into manageable stages so new franchise owners aren’t trying to tackle everything at once. The episode also goes behind the scenes of the support system surrounding each new owner, with teams across logistics, finance, real estate, marketing, and training working together to keep openings moving forward and help franchisees navigate roadblocks along the way. Cassidy shares why trusting the process, following the system, and staying connected with the support team can make such a difference from signing day to opening day.
