franchises

Explanation:

A franchise is a business model where the franchisee acquires the right to a business logo, name, and model from the franchisor.  The franchisor is usually an established, successful, and popular business.  The franchisee gets a license to operate an independent outlet that is similar in all aspects to the franchisor's business.

The franchise business takes advantage of the franchisor brand name popularity to acquire customers and thereby increase its chances to succeed. Mcdonald and Starbucks are examples of popular franchise businesses. This business model applies to all industries.  Restaurants, Gas stations, Pharmaceuticals, and other retail outlets ave embraced the franchising business model.
