that continues to escalate.
Despite the increasing prevalence of the franchise as a means of
business expansion, to date there is not a single company that has taken
the hot dog chain to a national level. This presents a sizeable
opportunity for Famous Uncle Al’s Hot Dogs & Grille, Inc. to take a
known ‘winner’ and address a subset of the market that is virtually
untouched.
It is imperative to highlight that the Company’s franchise offering is
uniquely positioned to compete in the market that Quizno’s and Subway
have dominated with well over 25,000 restaurants combined. Famous
Uncle Al’s offers an exciting alternative to the typical sub and
sandwich franchise offerings.
We are confident that the development of a more sophisticated turnkey

Huge, high-growth franchise industry offers immediate value
The franchise food industry is part of an enormous market and accounts
for more than 40% of all retail sales in the U.S., or $1.5 trillion of
combined economic output.
Most importantly, rapid growth within the space is demonstrative of how
quickly and efficiently a concept like Famous Uncle Al’s can achieve
scale and extend its brand.
According to the Redstone Group, a new franchise business opens every 8
minutes of every business day, and there are approximately 750,000
franchise business in the nation under the umbrella of an estimated
1,500 franchise opportunities. This implies that one out of every 12
businesses in the U.S. is a franchise, a concentration of the business

approach, combined with increases in marketing spend, will dramatically
accelerate historical growth rates and can make the Company competitive
with some of America’s most lucrative franchises.
A stable model that provides one-time and recurring cash flows
Another key consideration for prospective shareholders is the quick serv
industry’s resilience to economic downturns and cyclicality.
Regardless of the state of the economy, this particular segment
consistently performs. This indicates a positive long-term outlook
for the investment community as it pertains to the franchise market.
Additionally, operation as a franchise allows Famous Uncle Al’s Hot Dogs
& Grille, Inc. to earn meaningful one-time franchise fee revenues as
well as a

growing stream of cash flows from royalty fees from each operating
location.
At $17,500 for individual franchisees and $50,000 for Area Developers,
one-time fees alone can quickly add to the top line. Factor in 7%
of net sales from even a handful of high-volume locations, and the
business can easily generate millions of dollars through its franchise
program.
We believe that Famous Uncle Al’s has distinctly positioned itself as a
franchise option because of its superior suite of services, its focus on
a under-addressed market, lower start-up and operating costs, and its
dedication to the quality of its products and brand.
As such, the Company is poised to be a ‘first choice’ opportunity for
franchisees. In our view, this warrants special consideration.
