What determines whether a business is franchised or run by an operating company? I thought there was a correlation between unique SKU count and operator status, then I found out the French grocery business is heavily franchised. Economist friends: what gives?

I thought this was primarily capital structure rather than operational issues?

What I was thinking was: the McD’s supply chain has a small set of discrete items that change rarely. Target has a lot of inventory, and what they carry changes constantly. So they need tighter coupling. But the French grocery stores blow that out of the water.

So that wouldn’t distinguish between franchises and non-franchises QSRs/Starbuxen.
