Queens offers a unique opportunity for franchisees who want a new and exciting work environment in which they can be their own bosses. Queens’ economy, driven by locals and tourists alike, is steadily growing while local organizations are dedicated to assisting small business owners.

Economy

The economy in Queens has been on the rise for the last few years coming out of the Great Recession. One economic factor that has a strong influence in Queens is that a large proportion of the jobs in the area are export-oriented, which generally tends to pay higher wages than locally-oriented jobs. This translates to a generally higher income for many of the residents of Queens, which in turn translates to a larger customer base for your Pretzelmaker franchise.

Another important economic factor in all of New York is tourism, and Queens is no exception. In 2014, 56.4 million tourists from around the world visited New York City, bringing with them a revenue of $61.3 billion. Another thing that contributes to the economy in Queens are the attractions available for both locals and tourists alike, one of which being the Citi Stadium which brings in a lot of tourism money to the borough each year.

Resources for Business Owners

Small businesses are the backbone of any economy, something that Queens deeply understands. For this reason, there are a variety of resources for entrepreneurs and small business owners in the greater New York City area. Two organizations in particular, New York City Economic Development Corp. and Small Business Development Center, are dedicated to helping small business owners start, grow, and improve their businesses. Listed below are just a portion of the fields they help qualified businesses with:

These fantastic resources, combined with corporate support from Pretzelmaker, make opening a franchise in Queens easy.

Local Attractions

True to New York City style, Queens combines green spaces, historical sites, museums, and modern attractions to create a thriving cultural scene. One of the biggest attractions in Queens is the Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. This park is second in size only to Central Park and is full of a variety of things to do! Only a small number of activities in the park are listed as follows:
