Discusses opportunities for U.S. franchisers and legal requirements in the market.

The Gambia is a small country with a small consumer base, which limits opportunities for US franchises.  Consequently, with the exception of Coca Cola, the number of U.S. franchises in The Gambia are few to none.  Several Gambian businesses have expressed interest in U.S. franchises, and have participated in franchising trade conventions in the U.S..  While they may not be present, U.S. brand names are in high demand and are well known locally and associated with high quality.
