TYPE OF BUSINESS: Franchise Developments, Inc. (FDI) creates or revises franchise manuals that document the operating system of each franchise in a clear and readable style. To obtain accurate information, we interview appropriate team members at their site and read previously printed materials. Then, through our unique DP System, we organize the information into a manual that reflects the franchise's culture, policies, and practices. Some of the topics a manual may include are Operating a Profitable Business, Maintaining Quality Through Standards, Attracting and Keeping a Motivated Staff, Advertising and Marketing, Controlling Costs, and Excelling with Customers. Manuals are used by franchisors to market, attract, and select qualified franchisees; by staff for reference and training; by franchisees to help them clearly follow standards and operations; and by field consultants to identify and solve problems and to build productive and effective relationships. What makes FDI's manuals useable is that they are organized so that information can be located quickly and changed, updated, added/or deleted easily without altering the paging system.

SANDERSON & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

Behind Sanderson & Associates

Rhonda Sanderson's PR career began in 1981 when she helped found a franchise division for a public relations firm in Chicago. In 1984 she formed Sanderson & Associates to better serve the franchise community with tailored programs to meet the goals of franchisors looking to grow their systems nationally and support their franchisees locally.

During those years she and her group helped grow systems such as Molly Maid, ServiceMaster, Hardees, Smoothie King, FASTFRAME, Meineke Discount Muffler, Sbarro Italian Eatery, U-Save Auto Rental, Cici's Pizza, Bojangles, Back Yard Burgers and Juice Club, known today as Jamba Juice, a name change that took place after an LA Times story, placed by Sanderson & Associates, led Starbucks to invest $49 million in the company.

Today, Sanderson & Associates is considered the premier public relations firm in franchising. Choosing to keep this a small, boutique firm, Rhonda feels she can better service a short list of select clients with a staff of 10. The company currently represents 27 franchise systems and hundreds of their franchisees.

Rhonda also served as Chair of the Supplier Forum of the International Franchise Association for 2002 and has won numerous awards from the IFA, and participates regularly as a speaker, presenter and moderator at IFA events throughout the country.

She is considered an expert in franchising by members of the media and has been quoted in Forbes, Restaurant Marketing, Wall Street Journal, Working Woman and many other news publications nationwide. She is a sought after speaker and has addressed audiences at events such as the National Restaurant Show and the Restaurant Monitor Finance Conference. She currently serves as contributing editor writing about franchising in the national military publication, GI Jobs. Her writings are published in a variety of Wade publications.
