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.
Greenville is the county seat, and the largest city, of Hunt County, Texas, in the United States. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 23,960. Greenville was named for Thomas J.
