    Does anyone own a popular franchise?

    I agree. My question was very vague. I am looking to partner with a few franchisees and figured I was see if there were any franchisees on the forum. Didn't really think there would be, but asked anyway. Brandon

    Does anyone own a popular franchise such as Mcdonald's, Subway, UPS Store, etc? If so, what do you own?

    The next opportunity I jumped on was N95 masks for hospitals. One opportunity I missed was weights and bars for weight lifting. Sold out EVERYWHERE! I would have filled a warehouse with workout equipment if I had enough forsight. Don't know how I missed that one. Didn't realize it was sold out...

    Half of it is definitely the power of the relationship they have with my friend's company who does A LOT for their company. The other half is what I offered them - obviously monetary compensation was part of it. A "big player" as you describe would actually cause him to make less profit for two...

    Agreed. Honestly, it was tempting to "price gouge" a little, since as you said a freezer is not a life or death item. Though after watching several things play out in the media, I refuse to be the target of anger and outrage because I wanted to double the price of a freezer!

    Hey MJ, I'm not selling the remaining freezers. If anything I would connect someone with the manufaturer, but not many people have $375k laying around ;-) But I agree - the forum should not be a source for a freezer.

    They can sell to stores! Their typical customer is large corporations like Home Depot. The only reason they have not sold the remaining units to stores is because I made a deal with them a while back after my friend introduced me. Can't divulge exactly what the deal was, but I convinced them to...

    You make a good point about maintaining the contacts. Will give that some thought. I have had to pay for 100% of the inventory upfront simply because the inventory is in such high demand. They wouldn't accept 50% down or anything like that considering there are countless businesses willing to...

    Were you brainstorming on how to capitilize on it? If so, why didn't you?

    What business would you launch, If you got laid off due to C0VlD-19?

    Nope, I had never sold freezers a day in my life lol. No I don't plan to continue after C0VlD-19. I actually posted my story in it's own thread where I share some additional insight: Coronavirus made me $780,000 in profit in 6 weeks

    Putting in my last order in tomorrow. And no, everyone who wants to buy an extra freezer will not have one, unfortunately. There is a shortgage of these freezers in America. Lowes, Home Depot, local appliance stores, all have tons of people requesting freezers but they are all gone. And it...

    Everyone around me is taking action right now, so it rubbed off I guess. We are all super excited, though we can't share that excitement with too many people because people get offended. And I can understand because for most people, they consider these times very troubling. But this is one of...

    Because they are almost completely out of inventory. The only reason they are not out of stock now is because I paid the owner (my friend's client) weeks ago to hold the rest of the freezers for me. They have $920,000 left in inventory. I am going to purchase $545,000 more tomorrow. If anyone...

    Initially I used Google and found cities where freezers were sold out. Then I just called appliance stores and told them what I had. Now I just call (or email) any appliance store. They are all out of small freezers.

    One day I was telling my buddy I think freezers are going to become high in demand and he told me one of his clients is an appliance manufacturer. He made the introduction and that was all she wrote.
