ABOUT KEYSER’S FRANCHISE REAL ESTATE DEPARTMENT
You know better than anyone, your brand is more than just a logo and a product—it’s an environment, a culture, a way of life. While no singular characteristic defines a brand, many play a role in how your customers perceive your brand, including your retail location and space. From planting your very first roots to expanding to your hundredth location, we can help. Your Keyser franchise specialists combine deep market knowledge and experience with best-in-class demographic and psychographic data to identify optimum sites and negotiate ideal terms.

We ONLY represent tenants

…therefore, we negotiate aggressively for our clients. We are very pro-active in our site selection process and we are extremely aware and sensitive to providing solid prime retail locations that meet your specific brand criteria. With our state-of-the-art technology and location intelligence, we can provide a market-by-market analysis based on your demographics, brand specifics, and unit economics.

We specialize in providing a complete real estate process for franchise candidates from site selection, through lease negotiations to “Now Open” by coordinating with construction and legal throughout the entire process—all at no cost to you or your franchisee.
