Some franchises are basically scams against the franchisee- subway and Quiznos were famous for not caring much at all and being willing to sell a franchise to anyone with some money (normally franchises are protected from similar franchises within a given area).

This is also SOP for the value-added reseller (VAR) scam.

One notable exception are car dealers. They somehow secured themselves durable lucrative carve-outs before the VAR thing matured.
