Special Offer: Franchise in the USA

Live the American Dream: with Blackfly and American Dream

Blackfly Company, a store for music scene clothing, accessories and piercing jewelry has, together with The American Dream, brought the first franchise partner from Germany to Austin, Texas. And already there are three more locations run by German franchise partners.

Total investment for a franchise like that is, depending on location and store size somewhere between $70,000 and $95,000.

The Blackfly owners, Thomas Schiller and Manuela Ludwig, who immigrated into the US with the help of TAD themselves once, created a number of different franchise packages, which can be requested right here, according to their future partners’ different needs.

And also Mr. and Mrs. Roski, the first German franchise partners, will be happy to talk to you about their experiences with Blackfly franchise. You can contact them here. The first “German” store was opened on November 15, 2008 in the Highland Mall in Austin, Texas. German TV channel “Kabel1” reported from the grand opening at the beginning of December, the report was aired in January 2009 on the show “Mein neues Leben” (Engl.: “my new life”).

Friesenhaus franchise

In December 2004, the Dirks’ from Elmshorn, Germany, received their E-2 visa with the help of The American Dream – the first step towards the realization of their very own American Dream. They opened the German Restaurant Friesenhaus in new Braunfels, Texas, with almost 300 seats. It includes a German bakery and a souvenir shop. The newest addition of approximately six months ago is the dirndl and lederhosen collection.

The Friesenhaus is well established and has developed into a real institution. German television has already done two reports on the Friesenhaus story. Guests come form far away and want to know why there isn’t a Friesenhaus in their town as well. That’s the reason the Dirks’ now established Friesenhaus franchise. Potential buyers/investors, from Germany or elsewhere, can buy Friesenhaus franchise and, with the assistance of The American Dream, apply for the E-2 visa.

Franchise is a typical American success story and offers many advantages to the franchisee. Unlike the setting up of an own business, the franchisee profits from the knowledge and skill, and the support, of the franchisor. This essentially includes the following:

The franchisee profits from the successful business concept, the already well-known trademark, lesser costs for supplies because of discounts, professional marketing strategies, further training for American and non-American personnel.

Americans love franchise restaurants, and they do so for a reason. They already know what to expect. In Germany, McDonald’s and Burger King, among others, are world-famous franchise restaurants. The Dirks’ Friesenhaus, however, is not a fast food restaurant, but a typical German restaurant with German warmth and friendliness. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is served seven days a week and on weekends, there’s live music. There’s German beer in high quantities – all on tap, of course. The quality standards are high – but it still has (other than stereotypical fast food places) its very own character. The first franchisee from Germany will have a good chance of also being accompanied by German television. All necessary visa applications will best be handled by American Dream.
