Kroc, who also owned baseball\u2019s San Diego Padres franchise, was interested in signing Hunter to pitch for his team, prior to the 1975 baseball season. In addition to a very generous multi-year contract offer, Kroc guaranteed Hunter full ownership of TWO very profitable McDonald\u2019s franchises in the San Diego area. In terms of total dollar value, this deal was worth a lot more than what the New York Yankees were offering. Of course, Hunter ended up turning down Kroc\u2019s offer\u2026 and he did indeed sign with the Yankees. His reasoning? \u201cI don\u2019t know anything about hamburgers. I\u2019m a farmer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hunter\u2019s reaction to the possibility of becoming a franchise owner is still funny to this day, but he inadvertently raises a legitimate, 2014-era concern in terms of GYMGUYZ and franchise ownership. Let\u2019s say that every potential GYMGUYZ franchisee could be guaranteed at least a measure of financial success and independence, simply by signing on the dotted line and learning the ins and outs of the GYMGUYZ way, as it applies to franchising. This is all great\u2026 but if said franchisee just isn\u2019t all that into health and fitness and doesn\u2019t even buy into the overall GYMGUYZ lifestyle, then what\u2019s the point? The old saying \u201cDo what you love\/love what you do\u201d is accurate. We already know how much YOU enjoy living the lifestyle. The reality is, making a great living doing something you truly love is a precious gift, one not to be taken for granted. By becoming one of our new GYMGUYZ franchise owners, you\u2019ll not only do what you love\u2026 you\u2019ll love what you do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CATEGORIES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gymguyz.com\/franchise-opportunities\/about-us\/blog\/categories\/franchisee-insight\/\">Franchisee Insight<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time to share a story about McDonald\u2019s franchise founder Ray Kroc, and Hall-of-Fame baseball pitcher (and former North Carolina farmboy) Jim \u201cCatfish\u201d Hunter.
