Every founder wants to scale, but most are unknowingly building something that cannot scale or cannot scale right now. In this episode of Franchise Pitfalls and Profits, Don Shin breaks down the exact reasons growth stalls and what must change for real expansion in 2026.

After 25 years in franchise development, Don explains why scaling is not about selling more units. It is about building a model that supports predictable, sustainable growth without burning out founders or franchisees.

This episode explores the internal structures that quietly block growth, including decision bottlenecks, communication breakdowns, accountability gaps, and founder dependency. These hidden friction points are often mistaken for marketing or sales problems.

Don also reveals why the middle 50,60% of franchise systems determine whether a brand truly scales. Developing operators into confident business owners is the difference between plateauing and accelerating growth.

You will learn the three critical shifts every emerging brand must make to prepare for 2026, including moving from founder led to system-led operations, strengthening the core of the franchise network, and redesigning sales around predictability and trust.

If you are a founder between 5 and 100 units or preparing to franchise this episode will help you identify what will break first as you grow and where to focus your next 90 days.
