Anyone have any contacts at national brands (eg. 30+ years, 100s/1000s of locations)? Ideally, someone in resales, but if they work in operations or franchisee mgmt, that might work. I'm asking for potential deal flow and also general advise. Industry agnostic, but I'll pass on fitness and food fads.

I would also just go to https://www.entrepreneur.com/franchise500 and https://franchisebusinessreview.com/lists/top-200-franchises/
A franchise FDD has all the existing owner/operators in a list. Easy to call and ask.

^redacted - I had a pleasant conversation last week with Kimberly "Kimber" Anderson who serves as a resale gatekeeper for Neighborly's 30+ predominantly home-service brands. redacted
She'll get your interest in geographies and industries and promptly follow up with what Neighborly is seeing/forecasting.
