The Halal Guys' Biggest Fan

In an interview, Paul Tran, a Halal Guys franchisee, talked about becoming a franchisee. Fran was working for the franchise development company Fransmart, helping to scale chains like Qdoba and Five Guys. He's been an entrepreneur and restaurateur before, and loves the experience. He thinks in the back of his head, he knew he'd eventually jump back in. Every time they'd take on a new client at Fransmart, it felt like a new business experience, so he got his entrepreneurial fix. But Halal Guys was just way too strong -- he couldn't sit on the sidelines. They went into business knowing that they wanted to be able to enjoy their lives. That's the reason they have a five-person partnership.
