The Best Franchises To Own Will Surprise You…
(Here’s a hint: They’re not food franchises)

Hi, I’m Dru. I help people find the right non-food franchise to buy.
I’m kind of like a real estate agent to people who want to figure out if there’s a franchise out there that’s the right fit.


Why non-food franchises?
Because there are franchises out there that…
Have better economics
Are cheaper to get into, and
Are more lifestyle friendly to own
The problem is, they’re not easy to find.
Which is why I created the Franchise Investment System
It’s a system designed to help you quickly find the top franchises in the country that want to expand to your area and safely analyze them to figure out if one of them is the right fit.
Investing in certain franchises can reduce your risk and still provide a massive upside.
Here’s the thing…owning a franchise can be amazing
If you want to be happier and wealthier by investing your talents and skills in your own business, buying the right franchise can offer a way to maximize your rewards and minimize your risks.
And you don’t need any industry experience to own the good ones.
Plus, they can be more affordable than you may think.
But, you have to invest in the right one.
“Who is this Dru guy and does he know his stuff?”

I hope you’re asking yourself that question (because you should be… buying a franchise is a big deal).
Here’s the short story on me…
All I’ve ever done is franchising (completely by accident starting 17 years ago).
I’ve owned and sold a franchise
Franchised three different businesses
Authored a book, have a podcast, and written a bunch of stuff about franchising, and
Helped hundreds of people buy, build, and sell non-food franchises
If you’re curious about whether or not franchising is right for you, I want to help you find the answer.
How much does it cost?
- It’s free. I promise 🙂
Franchise companies pay my bill.
Here’s my promise to you:
- You’ll get real and raw information about owning a franchise
- I’m not going to persuade you into buying a franchise
- This is a big decision and I’ll help you get the answers you want to figure this all out
Testimonials
Dru was (and continues to be) a huge help and sounding board to my wife and I through the franchise exploration and purchasing process.

Questions You May Have At This Point…
Why is Dru’s service free?
Similar to a real estate agent, the seller covers my bill. And, in this case, the seller is the franchise. You’ll never pay me a dime.
What types of franchises are good ones to get into?
Can you give me some recent examples?
I also helped a Harvard-educated C-Level executive and his wife in Texas find an emerging beauty franchise that is backed by some of the smartest people I know in franchising (these guys are like the Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger of franchising to me).
I also helped a multi-unit franchise owner with Orangetheory in the northeast who recently sold his empire for a considerable amount find an emerging franchise in the health and wellness that has quickly become a unicorn franchise of sorts.
How does it work?
If there’s a good fit, we’ll work through a simple and effective process to figure out what you want (and don’t want) in a business, nail down your budget, and teach you how to analyze a franchise.
We basically work together to figure out what you want and make a plan to attain it.
Then, I’ll do a search for you to see what high-quality franchises are out there that check your boxes and want to expand to your area.
And, finally, I’ll give you my Franchise Investment System you can use to analyze them to figure out if they’re the right fit.
How much money do I need to buy a high-quality franchise?
I’ll connect you with franchise funding specialists who can help you put together the right funding plan. All that said, you’ll need to have good credit and a net worth of at least a few hundred thousand dollars.
How long has Dru been doing this?
And then one day it all changed for me and I decided to walk away from what on paper looked like a “good career path” because I was tired of making the sacrifices required to climb the corporate ladder. So, with a very young boy and girl twins, I left to do what I’m doing today.
I’ve also owned and sold a franchise, I’m actively investing in franchise businesses, and I’ve written a book called the Franchise Investment Guide. I’m pretty sure I’ve done just about everything you can possibly do in franchising. And I absolutely love helping people explore franchising.
