I think they have a different term for it, but basically it is a franchise.
Got me. I was just going by their website.
No, he's right. I contacted them maybe 2 years ago, as part of a college assignment (that's when I found out they were working on coming to Norton). They said they don't franchise, it's all company/corporately owned.Quote:

Generally they only put these places in the hands of someone who has worked there and they are familiar with. I believe the person who has the "interest" in the Wise location has worked out of Gate City for some time.

KINGSPORT ? Pal?s Sudden Service is featured as one of the ?Future 50? in the July issue of Restaurant Business magazine.
The Future 50 is the magazine?s annual ranking of the fastest-growing restaurant chains between $25 million and $50 million in annual sales. Technomic Inc., a food service research group, compiles the list each year.
?We consider this a category of chains that have proven their concepts but haven?t reached the top 100 status yet,? said Sam Smith, editor of Restaurant Business magazine. ?They are fast growing, under the national radar, but (in our opinion) getting ready to go big.?
Pal?s recently broke ground on its 23rd restaurant, at 705 Commonwealth Drive N.E. in Norton. The unit will be the fourth Pal?s in Virginia and the first Pal?s in Wise County.
?We think Norton is going to be a great location for Pal?s,? said Pal?s Sudden Service President and CEO Thom Crosby. ?It?s going to be a boost to the economy there as we?ll hire around 40 to 45 people by the end of the summer.?
The restaurant is expected to be open by September.
Pal?s Sudden Service was founded in 1956 and is the only food service operation to earn America?s top award for business excellence ? the U.S. Commerce Department?s Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.
The Kingsport-based chain is also the only two-time recipient of Tennessee?s Quality Excellence Award.
