Franchising in Tacoma offers a growing population and business environment with regional connectivity that allows for affordable operating conditions. Here are the top Reasons why franchises will thrive in this marketplace:
The city of Tacoma is home to over 220,000 people and has an annual population growth of nearly .8%. As such, many residents from higher-cost cities like Seattle and San Francisco have been attracted to the area. Pierce County as a whole now exceeds 950,000 residents, fueling consistent demand for housing, retail, food, and professional services. For franchisors and investors, this translates into a wide array of customers and a stronger path to profitability.
Accessing strategic transportation in Tacoma is unparalleled compared to other regional cities. Due to its location on I-5, Tacoma provides direct linkages to Seattle, Portland, and SeaTac International Airport. In addition to providing easy access via Sounder Commuter Rail, Light Rail Expansion, and ferry Service, a significant number of employees will be able to access your franchise from a large and diverse geographic area with an average commute time of 26.6 minutes.
Tacoma, when compared to Seattle, has an affordable environment that reduces costs for both the residents and entrepreneurs. Tacoma’s Cost of Living Index is 122.7, which is approximately 35 percent less expensive than in Seattle. As such, Tacoma provides affordability while maintaining a large labor force with a resilient housing market. This balance allows business owners to reduce risks, attract customers more easily, and achieve higher long-term profitability.
