Why Gen Z is Excited About Franchise Ownership – And How Our Network Helps Them Take Action

A New Generation of Franchise Owners Is Rising

Gen Z isn’t waiting for opportunity—they’re building it. Born between 1997 and 2012, this ambitious and purpose-driven generation is shaking up the entrepreneurial landscape, and franchise ownership is at the top of their radar.

With student debt concerns, a deep desire for autonomy, and a passion for mission-driven work, Gen Z is skipping the corporate ladder and heading straight for ownership. And franchises are providing the perfect launchpad.

What’s Fueling the Gen Z Franchise Boom?

✅ Low Barrier to Entry, High Potential
Franchises offer a clear path to ownership with training, systems, and brand support already in place—ideal for Gen Z who value mentorship and proven playbooks.

✅ Purpose-Driven Brands Win
Gen Z wants more than just profit—they want purpose. Franchises that promote wellness, sustainability, diversity, or social impact are capturing their attention.

✅ Tech-Savvy & Digital-First
Gen Z has grown up online. They research relentlessly, follow brands on TikTok, binge YouTube interviews, and rely on authentic content to make decisions. A brand’s online footprint matters—a lot.

✅ Side Hustle Mentality
Many Gen Z professionals aren’t interested in waiting until they’re 40 to start building equity. They’re launching side businesses, managing remote teams, and exploring franchising as a powerful way to scale faster.
