While Gen X has represented close to half of total prospective franchise buyers over the past several years, recent data reveals that Baby Boomers (ages 55-73) represent the fastest growing age cohort of franchise prospects in 2020. Boomers’ share of prospects jumped 11% Q2 v Q1, now representing 27%+ for the biggest share since 2Q19.

And, there are so many great franchise opportunities available for them to exlpore.
