I don't think Pull A Part offers franchises but you could start your own junkyard based on their model. You could also purchase a 1-800 Junk franchise. One I think would be interesting would be purchasing a Fedex Ground or Home route.
It'd be cool to start a phone repair place. I know it was mentioned but you could learn everything yourself for the first few months so you understand it 110% and then hire some geeks to take over from there. IMO, name yourself something like Phone Repair but also repair tablets, iPods, laptops, and TV's. All are easy 99.8% of the time. Also, guarantee your repairs with proof of receipt (97% will lose receipt within a week lol).
Thats why I said 100k :small-smiley-026:
But you're probably right.
* Apparently this is more of an employment project then an investment issue.
Power nap pods in any busy downtown location. Businessmen would pay for a half hour or 1 hour nap after lunch. You can even sell membership cards giving you X amount of hours monthly.

An online car selling site where users give some basic info on what kind of car they're looking for (sports car, mustang, benz, what color, year, how much they wanna spend, etc) and then let car dealerships send said user their best offers.
So I want a 2009 or newer car, black, V8, not American, with under 30,000 miles.
Now car dealerships and private parties can make me their best offer.
Said user then chooses the best deal that's offered to him. Think 99designs.com for cars.
Pretty much everything a normal online car selling site offers only the process is sort of reversed. Pretty sure it would work well if marketed properly and had people behind it with some good automotive industry connections.

Ycombinator backed, former AOL Auto exec running it...doesn't look like it's doing very well though.

A friend of mine used to be ops director for one the big BK franchises in the UK. He said it's far and away the most stressful environment he's come across, including his time in the military. He always asks people who say they'd like to open a restaurant "which Sunday will you take off per month?", because that's pretty much all the holiday they get, even if they find a decent manager.
It's very up-front capital intensive (equipment + leases), and has a fairly nasty working capital requirement due to how damn perishable everything is. Plus you have to deal with low paid staff who genuinely don't give a fuck and will steal from you at every opportunity.
But yeah, very profitable if you're prepared to deal with that. The smart businesses own the land, and just rely on the food to pay the mortgage. McDonalds has made a fortune in property.
