Could some franchises actually WIN in a downturn? Seems counterintuitive, but…

Essential Needs: Everyday services (auto-repair, discount stores, some food) stay afloat

The Affordability Factor: “Value” brands can do well when money is tight (think fast-food vs. fine dining)

The “Treat Yourself” Theory: Small luxuries (spas, beauty services) can be an escape in tough times

While no business is bulletproof, some franchise sectors have a history of weathering economic storms.
