Guyana - FranchisingGuyana - Franchising
While not yet common, franchising has grown rapidly in recent years. Early participants in the petroleum retail and distribution sector, as well as those involved with fast food outlets, such as KFC, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Quiznos, Church’s Chicken, Dairy Queen, Pollo Tropical, Bruster’s Ice Cream, and Popeyes, have experienced some success. MoneyGram and Western Union also operate numerous branches that facilitate remittances from Guyanese living or working abroad. The high degree of brand recognition makes the successful introduction of U.S. products and services to Guyana, through franchising, a good opportunity. Potential franchise investors, however, should carefully assess the ability of local producers to meet quality standards for locally-sourced products.
