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.
Rosedale is an unincorporated community in Braxton and Gilmer counties in the U.S. state of West Virginia. It lies at an elevation of 778 feet (237 m). The town throughout the 1950's and 1960's was very large due to a boom in natural gas and was heavily populated. However, the boom ended around the 1970's and the town greatly diminished. The population dropped severely as well. Rosedale was also home to Rosedale Elementary School until it was removed due to population drop.
