Detroit Franchise Show

About This Event

North America's largest franchise and business opportunities event, featuring a wide range of franchise brands and industries.

What to Expect

• 1.Expect a big hall filled with franchise booths from many industries, with quick pitches, demos, and lots of brochures. Have a 30 second intro ready and take notes on anything that catches your eye.
• 2.The crowd is businesslike and social in a low pressure way; you can loop between booths, but most people are there to learn and compare opportunities.
• 3.Food options exist on site at Suburban Collection Showplace, but lines can get long around lunch; plan meals or bring a snack.
• 4.Parking is usually ample, but it can fill up on busy days, so give yourself extra time for badge pickup and walking between halls.
• 5.First timers should set clear goals, bring plenty of business cards, ask about fees and territory availability, and plan follow ups within a few days.
