Listen "Opening a Milkshake Franchise With No Food Experience - John Bahr (Ep #5)"
Episode Synopsis
Jon Bahr didn’t come from food service. He came from real estate finance. But after bingeing franchise podcasts and hearing Dan Reese pitch Milkshake Factory, he and his wife took the leap, signing a three-unit deal while juggling a new baby and no prior restaurant experience.
In this episode, Jon shares how he:
Went from franchise curious to all-in with Milkshake Factory
Navigated site selection, build-out headaches, and opening chaos
Built a team that crushed their grand opening with record sales
Balances 90-hour weeks with newborn life—and why he loves it
You’ll also hear Jon’s advice for first-time buyers, what most people get wrong about franchising, and why passion has to play a role in your decision.
