Franchising law involves helping new business owners evaluate franchising opportunities, and assist in the purchase and operation of business franchises -- an alternative to starting a new, independent business from scratch. Franchising allows businesses owners to reduce their investment risk by associating with an established company, but may also require business owners to relinquish significant control over their business.
Pisek is a city in Walsh County, North Dakota in the United States. The population was 96 at the 2000 census. Pisek was founded in 1882, by Czech and Moravian settlers. Pisek was chosen as the name partly because some of the settlers had come from Pisek in the modern Czech Republic, and also because the town was built near a sand ridge and Pisek means sand in Czech.
