Royalty income is usually the real profit center for a franchisor because of the leveraging ability. For example, imagine a franchise company owns 100 franchised outlets, and each outlet does $30,000 in monthly sales and pays a 5% royalty to the franchise company. That means $1,500 is paid by each franchisee, resulting in $150,000 paid to the franchisor each month (or 100 outlets x $1,500).

Keene, New Hampshire. In 1995, Keene was chosen to be the site of the film Jumanji. This film is about a board game that allows for magical and scary things to happen. It stars Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, David Alan Grier and Kirsten Dunst. Several towns' people were used as extras in the film. After the filming ended and the town was put back in order, the towns' people wanted a way for everyone to remember that the film was shot there. So shortly after the graffiti of a Parrish shoes advertisement was removed, it was put back on.
