The Life Of A Serial Franchisor

Entrepreneur:

Martin Sprock talks at about the same speed at which he does business–100 mph. He’s only 40 years old, but he has already established himself as an unstoppable force in the world of franchising. As the founder of and mastermind behind Atlanta-based Raving Brands–parent company to nine fast-growing fast-casual brands, including Planet Smoothie, Moe’s Southwest Grill and Mama Fu’s Asian House–Sprock is the definition of the term “serial franchisor.” And even with nine established brands under his belt, he can’t sit still. He is in the process of developing more and expects his franchise empire to bring in sales of at least half a billion dollars in 2006.
