His Tiny Auntie Anne's Made $2.2 Million — Here's How
Randy Labosco started as a single-unit Auntie Anne's franchisee at a Florida mall 30 years ago. Today, the "Pretzel King of DFW" operates seven Auntie Anne's across Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), the third-busiest airport in the world — and he's not done yet. With plans to expand to as many as 15 total stores, including future Cinnabon and Jamba units, he's become one of the most experienced and successful nontraditional franchise operators in the country. "It's walkaway food," Labosco tells Entrepreneur. "You can pull a suitcase, carry a pretzel and not offend anyone sitting next to you on a plane. And most customers already know what they want, so we serve them in under a minute." That speed — along with consistency, location strategy and a deeply loyal team — has made Labosco a model franchisee for Auntie Anne's nontraditional playbook. His journey is proof of a larger trend: Brands that master nontraditional venues like airports are finding powerful, scalable growth where others can't. Related: Considering franchise ownership? Get started now to find your personalized list of franchises that match your lifestyle, interests and budget. "Built for speed" Labosco's success is part of a larger trend: Auntie Anne's (#87 on the 2025 Franchise 500) outside-the-box strategy. Nontraditional franchising refers to the expansion of a franchise brand into locations outside the typical storefront model. Instead of operating in standard retail spaces like shopping centers or strip malls, nontraditional franchises are located in high-traffic, often captive environments, such as airports, travel plazas and rest stops, college campuses, stadiums and amusement parks. These venues often offer smaller footprints, higher foot traffic and unique operational challenges (such as limited storage, security protocols or fast turnover requirements). The goal of nontraditional franchising is to meet customers where they already are — capturing impulse purchases and maximizing brand exposure in spaces that demand speed, portability and consistency. In 2025 alone, the brand has already signed 13 new nontraditional agreements. According to parent company GoTo Foods' chief development officer Bobby Morena, "Auntie Anne's is built for speed — and speed is king in high-volume spaces." Related: Here's how we determined the annual Franchise 500 ranking — and what we learned from the data. Why airports work To understand why Auntie Anne's is thriving in airports, just picture the average traveler: hungry, rushed and looking for something fast, familiar and portable. "The brand is perfectly suited for high-throughput environments like airports, transit hubs and arenas," Morena says, "places where customers don't have time to browse but still want something hot and satisfying." Auntie Anne's compact format and instantly recognizable products make it an ideal fit for these high-velocity settings. Most airport guests already know what they want, which helps keep lines moving. Plus, the brand's "aroma-forward" model is a strategic advantage: Travelers often smell Auntie Anne's before they see it, and the scent of fresh-baked pretzels pulls them in. For franchisees like Labosco, those advantages are backed by data. His airport locations consistently outperform traditional mall stores, not just in volume but in sales per square foot. And thanks to Auntie Anne's operational efficiency, even one point-of-sale terminal can generate millions in revenue. "Our airport stores do about 70% more in sales than traditional," Labosco says. "We have one that's 330 square feet with one point-of-sale, and it's our busiest store — it did over $2.2 million last year. It's very fast-paced and has maybe 12 feet of frontage. It's amazing how much we can do per square foot in sales compared to much bigger locations." Related: How Entrepreneurs and First-Time Franchisees Can Become Effective Leaders Operational playbook But as Morena notes, success in an airport isn't just about foot traffic. "Airports aren't easy," he says. "There are strict security protocols, limited storage and pressure to serve consistently at all hours. It takes a capable operator to thrive." That's where Auntie Anne's support infrastructure — and the experience of franchisees like Labosco — becomes critical. GoTo Foods provides an airport-specific operations playbook, along with tailored support to help franchisees navigate everything from compliance and construction to staffing and scheduling. "Our team is involved from the start," Morena says. "We help identify the right terminal locations, handle design and permitting and even construction. Not every location inside an airport is created equal — we want our stores positioned for maximum visibility and flow." Franchisees also gain access to shared services across GoTo Foods' portfolio, including supply chain management, training, IT and marketing. And in 2025, that support includes something highly visible: a full visual brand refresh. As part of a broader brand modernization, Auntie Anne's is remodeling more than 150 locations this year — including one of Labosco's DFW units. The updated look features a halo-free pretzel logo, bold new color palette, modular construction, open kitchen design, digital menu boards and a dedicated mobile pickup zone. "It's a beautiful new look," Morena says. "It keeps us relevant — and when you're in an airport serving millions of travelers a year, that matters." Labosco agrees. "The support today is night and day from when I started 30 years ago," he says. "Now we've got design, construction, IT and ops working together from day one. It makes growth a lot smoother." Related: 3 Lessons I Learned Selling My Billion-Dollar Company Looking ahead With air travel on the rise and travelers spending more time — and money — inside terminals, Auntie Anne's sees nontraditional venues not as a side strategy, but as the future of its brand. "We're meeting guests where they are," Morena says. "More often than not, that's in motion — in airports, stadiums, campuses and transit hubs." The brand's bold new store design is built to support that growth. And with operators like Labosco leading the way, Auntie Anne's has proof that the model works in tight spaces and under pressure. Labosco, for his part, is just getting started. "My goal is 12 to 15 total stores at DFW," he says. As Auntie Anne's continues to evolve beyond the mall food court, one thing is clear: The future of franchising may look a little different — and it might just smell like pretzels.

4 Signs It's Time to Abandon Your Patent
How to make smart, strategic calls on when to abandon patents — and why doing so is essential to long-term innovation and budget health Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Patents are often filed early, before a startup knows what the market really wants. That's smart, but it comes with a challenge: Not every idea turns out to be worth protecting. Markets shift. Products pivot. And eventually, founders ask: Should we keep paying for this patent or cut our losses? It's a tough call. Abandoning a patent midway can feel like giving up. But continuing just because you've already spent money? That's the sunk cost trap, and it quietly drains your budget. Many startups keep prosecuting every idea, paying rejections, annuities and attorney fees. But a smart IP strategy means knowing what to keep and what to walk away from. Here's how to make that call strategically. Related: How to Identify the Patent-Worthy Innovations in Your Business Built-in checkpoints in patent lifecycle — use them Roughly, you can split a patent's entire lifecycle cost into three parts. The first third goes to drafting the application, another third is for arguing the patent through issuance, and the final third covers patent maintenance fees for the next 20+ years. In a way, these financial checkpoints are decision checkpoints, too. When drafting, consider whether the invention aligns with your core business or is just a side experiment that may never get to market. During prosecution, evaluate whether it's still worth the legal wrangling, as each round of argument is costly. And when renewal fees come due, ask if the patent still supports your product, blocks competitors or adds leverage against others in the market. Unfortunately, many startups treat these pivotal stages as administrative formalities. Instead of evaluating whether continued investment is justified at each stage, many companies default to pushing forward — whether by extending prosecution unnecessarily, filing continuations without a clear purpose, or simply paying maintenance fees — without assessing strategic alignment. That's how portfolios get bloated with low-impact patents. The only solution here is patent pruning: Abandon some patent filings at the right checkpoints. Related: Don't Let Patent Costs Crush Your Startup — Here's How to Protect Your IP Without Breaking the Bank What are the signs that it's time to abandon a patent? Every dollar spent defending or maintaining a weak patent is a dollar not spent protecting something truly valuable. Therefore, you must look for the signs at different checkpoints to spot a patent to discard. Here are some signs to look for: 1. No market validation A patent is only valuable if the protected product actually sells. If your invention fails to gain customer traction, the patent will be a failure. Experts emphasize focusing on "high-impact" problems with real demand. Without that market pull, even a granted patent is a dead weight. For example, Google Glass — once hyped as the future of AR eyewear — never found a viable consumer market. It was pulled from sale in 2015 (and again in 2023) due to poor adoption, illustrating how patents tied to unvalidated products offer no return. 2. Shifting industry direction Industries evolve, and a patent can lose value if the tech horizon moves on. In practice, companies are advised to ask whether their invention still aligns with "the target industry and market." If adjacent innovations eclipse your solution (for example, cloud services replacing old networking hardware), the patent's relevance vanishes. In that scenario, it makes little sense to keep paying maintenance fees. Better to refocus on protections for innovations that fit the new direction of your field. 3. Prior art kills the novelty Sometimes, what initially feels like a breakthrough ends up being something others have already attempted or fully disclosed. If prior art eclipses your claims, the chances of securing meaningful protection drop significantly. At that point, even if you receive a patent, it may be so narrow that it offers little real-world value. Continuing to prosecute a case like this can quickly become a drain on time and legal budget. 4. Weak business use case Every patent in your portfolio should earn its keep through business impact or the potential to do so on your current roadmap. If it's not protecting a revenue-generating product, blocking a competitor or supporting licensing efforts, its value is questionable. Startups often hang on to patents without a clear path to monetization or strategic use. But unless a patent strengthens your market position or serves a legal or commercial purpose, it's just another expense on the books. To actively prune your patent portfolio, just looking for signs isn't enough. As the portfolio grows, you need a deliberate, repeatable process for patent abandonment assessment. Build a patent pruning system: Health checks and ranking framework An effective patent pruning system should take two things into consideration: 1) lifecycle stage and 2) multiple perspectives. For the first one, you want to start by ranking each patent across key lifecycle stages: At the idea stage : Is this innovation aligned with your product roadmap or market differentiation? Post-filing : Has the landscape shifted? Is the application still strategically relevant? Pre-renewal: Is the granted patent still supporting revenue, blocking competitors or enhancing leverage? The higher a patent scores at a certain stage, the more you want to invest in it. Please note that not only your legal counsel team but also others, such as product, technology, marketing and finance, must contribute to this ranking system, as pruning cannot be undone. The goal is to ensure that patents are evaluated through a business lens, not just a legal one. Consider using patent management tools that provide full portfolio visibility and enable seamless collaboration as part of your patent pruning process. Related: 4 Surprising Patent Myths That Could Cost You Big — What You Need to Know Now Pruning a patent portfolio isn't just about saving money; it's about fueling what's next with the reclaimed budget. In 2020, IBM stepped back from chasing patent volume. "We're no longer pursuing patent leadership," they said. "We're being more selective." The result? Fewer filings, stronger focus and more investment in high-growth areas like AI and quantum computing. That's the lesson: Pruning isn't cutting back. It's reallocating toward where your business is growing. Because IP should follow your future, not fund your past.

How Great Leaders Know What to Solve and What to Learn From
Many leaders default to quick fixes — but some problems can't be solved, only led. Here's how to spot the difference and stop wasting time, energy and trust. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. A few years ago, I was coaching "Maria," a department head at a large organization. She was sharp, strategic and exhausted. "I've tried everything," she told me. She definitely had: New software, new structure, redefined roles, outside consultants. Still, her meetings were flat. Collaboration was stalled. Decisions were passively undermined or actively reversed after the fact. The problem wasn't technical. It was cultural. After some conversations with department members, I learned that her team didn't feel safe telling the truth. The ghosts of past conflicts and unspoken judgments had produced a climate where "smile and nod" was the only path forward. Once we named that, the work changed, and we began solving for the right problem. Maria stopped trying to fix the team and started leading it. That work began with building the kind of culture where truth could breathe. That's adaptive leadership. It's less black and white, but oftentimes, this is the kind of leadership that makes goal achievement possible. Ronald Heifetz's foundational work classified challenges as two types: Technical challenges (e.g., budgeting, scheduling, legal compliance, product defects), which have clear problems and clear solutions based on expertise. Adaptive challenges (e.g., rebuilding trust, leading through loss, navigating culture shifts, or redefining success), which are fuzzy and relational, requiring co-created solutions based on learning and deep change. When we don't name this distinction, we throw tools at things that need conversation. We mistake silence for agreement. We promote people who are great at fixing, but unpracticed at coaching team members and facilitating others' learning. Over time, that mindset costs us trust, talent and traction. Related: A Customer Ghosted Her on a $1,700 Bill — So She Used This Clever Move to Get Paid The cost of swift solutions Here's what I see again and again: a leader is handed a tangled problem, such as declining engagement, siloed communication or team conflict. Without blinking, they launch into action: They move a few roles around. They send a heartfelt memo. They allocate some budget. Maybe they even bring in a consultant. For a moment, it feels like progress. But six months later, nothing has changed. The problem may have gone quiet, but it hasn't gone away. When leaders treat adaptive challenges like technical ones, three things tend to happen: Over-functioning: The leader becomes the fixer, absorbing complexity, decision-making and ownership. This is when I hear leaders complain, "I'm too stuck in the weeds." Disempowerment: People stop engaging creatively and instead wait for direction. You'll hear team members say, "Just tell me what you want," or worse, "I didn't think it was my place to weigh in." Rework: The problem returns because the root causes were never addressed. That's when you hear sighs, see eye rolls, and stakeholders ask, "Didn't we already solve this?" or "Here we go again." First seek to understand Thought leaders, including Greek philosopher Epictetus, humanist psychologist Carl Rogers and leadership guru Stephen Covey, all have been credited with the dictum of seeking to listen and understand before acting. In the same way, adaptive leadership starts with diagnosis — not with vision, charisma or decisive action. Therefore, the adaptive leader's first responsibility is to step back and ask: What kind of challenge am I facing? Heifetz advises that most problems are a mix of technical and adaptive challenges. Imagine, for example, you have an underperforming cross-functional team. Maybe there is a technical fix. Perhaps the process needs to be clarified, the expectations need to be reset, or the roles reassigned. But underneath, there also might be turf protection, identity threat, or lack of trust in leadership. The key is to name both layers. According to Heifetz, if you treat the problem like it's 90% technical when it's actually 70% adaptive, you'll waste time and erode trust. If you try to make it all about feelings and purpose when there's a real process issue, you'll come off as evasive or unclear. Understanding the real nature of the problem doesn't just help you act — it helps your team feel seen. Related: The Most Successful Founders Take Retreats — Here's Why You Should, Too What to do now Here are three practical steps to help you start leading more adaptively: 1. What kind of challenge is this? Before charging ahead with a solution, ask: Is this a technical problem, an adaptive challenge or a mix of both? If the problem requires someone to change behavior, mindset or identity, it's adaptive. If it requires a specific skill or authority to be applied, it's technical. If it requires both, it's a mix. Once you've clarified it for yourself, bring your team in on the conversation to create shared awareness and shift responsibility from leader-as-fixer to team-as-learners. 2. Build the framework together. Map out the problem and its solution with your team. You can do this by drawing a triangle, labeling the base "technical," the top "adaptive," and the middle "hybrid." Then list the challenges surrounding that problem on sticky notes and place each one where it belongs. For each challenge, ask: Who owns this challenge? What kind of learning is required? What kind of support is needed? This makes the invisible visible. 3. Invite the right people into the right work. Once you've fully mapped the challenges, resist the urge to carry it alone. Adaptive leadership means shared ownership. You're not assigning blame; you're enlisting co-learners. This isn't just good teamwork. It's how people grow. Further, they will be far more likely to support and ensure the success of solutions they have helped shape. While you don't need to democratize every decision, you should match the challenge with those who have the most insight and the most to gain by learning their way through it. Once you start distinguishing between technical and adaptive challenges, you'll never look at your to-do list the same way again. That small act of diagnosis might be the most powerful leadership move you make all week.
