Overview
Today could be your first exciting step toward owning your own business.
Research and business results have demonstrated that franchising is a proven way to enhance your chances for success. A strong and successful franchise concept is the first step.
The Ho-Lee-Chow® concept is based upon applying proven franchise principles to Chinese Food - the last frontier of Quick-Service restaurants. Until Ho-Lee-Chow® was conceived, consumers just couldn’t find Chinese Food with the quality, service, value and cleanliness that they have come to expect from quick service hamburgers, subs, pizza and chicken.
People want more variety now. Their lifestyles still make convenient fast food a necessity, but they want a break from the basic fare. The ethnic food sector is booming, and Chinese and Asian Foods are favourite consumer choices.
