I saw McDonald’s use this tactic in The Founder. They franchise (No Frills) to remove additional costs for themselves, but it also means they can bully owners with the leasing rates. win-win

“Well we had to increase our prices because rent went up so much recently. We’ve managed to keep labour costs low, though!”

Same way Ticketmaster operates.

They use “demand based ticket pricing” and own all the third-party resellers.

So they can release tickets, buy them all themselves through their third party resellers, claim high demand and increase prices.

Corporate landlords are doing the same thing with homes.
