Today, we are genuinely asking the frantrepreneur who owns one. We are meeting with franchise Hall of Famer Lawrence Doc Cohen; Doc is a veteran of the franchise industry who became a franchise owner of Great American Cookies over three decades ago. Doc became the first-ever franchisee inducted into the International Franchise Association’s (IFA) Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame includes quick-serve greats like Dave Thomas, Ray Kroc, Fred DeLuca, and Col. Harland Sanders. Mr. Cohen’s Houston-based Cookie Associates also owns TCBY, Coffee Beanery, and Pretzelmaker.
