What a good idea! When a chain is
spending too much on advertising
much of it is wasted so how about
cutting back on ad contributions
and use that money to supplement
remodeling?

Franchise Confidential
Once in a while I like to remind franchisees
that everything that happens at Franchise
Equity Group is a deep secret. This is a
one man shop with no partners, associates,
or cleaning crew snooping around. There's
no one to read a memo or overhear a
conversation.

If I were to describe the security measures
taken you'd probably think it was overkill
but these are protocols established over
the years so it's just part of the job.

Strange McBedfellows
While Discussing the proposed California fair franchising legislation with a McDonald's
Operator we "joked" about how McDonald's PAC $$$ would be spent fighting this
proposal and about the irony of franchisees spending their money to fight a law that
could give them increased rights.
I don't pay much attention to the McD

I don't pay much attention to the McD
PACs assuming they're in good shape
because Operators are controlling
expenditures. But out of curiosity I looked
up the Federal PAC - Was I surprised! In
the past several years the amount raised
by the PAC has more than doubled its
historical levels. Hum, that's good,
Operators are more involved?

But the big surprise comes when studying contributions by political party.
From 1998 through 2006 84% of the Federal McDonald's PAC was
spent supporting Republicans.
spent supporting Republicans.
In 2008 70% went to Republicans
In 2010 52% went to Republicans, 47% to Democrats
So far in 2012 58% to Republicans, 42% to Democrats
Given the doubling of the amounts raised and the dramatic change in
contributions McDonald's Operators have become a substantial source
of funding for the Democrat party.
This at a time (in my humble opinion) when the Democrat party has
never been more regulation-happy and anti-business?
My source for this information is the Center for Responsive Politics,
their link is below. At the top of the graph are two tabs for "Spending
by Cycle" and "Party Split by Cycle". Below the chart is a drop down
tab where you can select the year and in the boxes there are links for
expanded information. At the top of the page, above "McDonald's
Corporation Summary" are tabs listing donors, recipients, etc.
If McDonald's Operators have information that differs from this source
please let me know. Meanwhile, enjoy supporting those Democrats!
