Franchise Consultant is the practice of Cheri Carroll, a franchise development specialist in University Heights, San Diego, who has spent 29 years as a franchise executive and consultant, building franchise systems for over 100 brands from her Normal Heights-area office at 4404 Caminito Fuente in the 92116 ZIP. Carroll's career includes franchise sales management at Jack In The Box in San Diego, director of franchising for Sydney Learning Stores in Vancouver and Heidi's Frozen Yogurt in Orange County, and a senior consultant role at Franchise Architects in Chicago — a résumé that spans quick-service restaurants, education retail, and multi-unit operations. The consultancy handles every phase of franchise development: feasibility analysis, Franchise Disclosure Document preparation, operations manual writing, franchise sales positioning, and buyer profiling to match franchise opportunities with candidates whose skills align with the operating model. Carroll's franchise-development work has covered food-service brands, and Adams Avenue anchors such as Ponce's Mexican Restaurant illustrate the kind of multi-decade owner-operator longevity that a well-structured franchise system is designed to replicate at scale. Her client list includes Alberto's Mexican Food, Cousins Subs, Fantastic Sams, Maid Rite, Straw Hat Pizza, Sears Roebuck, Hewlett-Packard, and international brands including Bata Shoes and Reliance Oil. Carroll served as an independent FranNet associate from 1995 to 1998, gaining referral-network expertise through the world's largest franchise matching organization before launching her own FranDevelop practice. Franchisees navigating the financial-reporting requirements embedded in disclosure compliance need CPA-prepared filings, and Murillo Services in the same neighborhood handles the audited financial statements that satisfy Item 21 standards within the FDD. Carroll has been published in Franchising World and Successful Franchising and covered by the Chicago Tribune and San Diego Business Transcript.
