Hi Slipcovers, he never owned a franchise. He started work in a corporate BK and was always a corporate employee. That's an interesting question though...would he have had the same advancement opportunities if he had worked in a franchise BK? If I would go to work for a Mom and Pop Pharmacy, I would only be able to rise to a certain level. But if I went to work for Walgreens, I could eventually become CEO.
