Overview
Franchising offers the opportunity to run a business while receiving support from a national office. According to the International Franchise Association, sales from franchise businesses totaled more than $803 billion in 1992, accounting for 40.9% of all retail sales. Statistically, a new franchise opens every 8 minutes, and, according to studies conducted by the U.S. Commerce Department from 1971 to 1987, less than 5% of franchises have failed or discontinued on an annual basis. It is a game that is centuries old and is today's fastest growing sport...darts! A recent survey by the National Sporting Goods Association reveals that more people play darts than our national pastime sport, baseball! The ADA offers two business opportunities:
- ADA Franchises
- Company Operated Program (COP)
