Most franchisors focus on selling the franchise. Not enough focus on selecting the right franchisee. But this isn’t a transaction, it’s a long-term relationship.

That’s a wrap on the 2026 Franchise Sidekick SKIP Conference. A few great days in San Diego connecting with the best in franchising, presenting strong brands, and spending real time together outside the room. From sushi making to whale watching to deep sea fishing, the experience went beyond just business and made it that much more meaningful. Huge thank you to Franchise Sidekick for bringing everyone together and creating space for both strong conversations and unforgettable moments. Also, a big shoutout to Kimberly Moreno, Teresa Wade, and Jenny Lauer for earning the Top Gun experience. Glad to report they made it through the danger zone and landed safe. Looking forward to seeing everyone again in Nashville in just a few short months! #FranchiseFastLane #FranchiseSidekick #SKIPSummit #Franchising #FranchiseGrowth #Networking #TeamFastLane
