Ancillary Programs

The Ancillary Services Program offers the franchisees in our system the opportunity to reduce costs or add value by participating in some or all of the programs that we offer.

The opportunities range from safety shoes to utilities, and there are numerous cost-saving programs to be found here!

The programs are easy to participate in — simply contact the vendors listed and tell them that you are a Popeyes or a Cinnabon franchisee. They will assist you in taking advantage of the savings offered by our national or regional account programs, although every program may not be available everywhere.

Suggestions for new programs are always welcome. Please contact Ginny Michaels at gmichaels@smscooperative.com and let her know what should be added to this list!

"Bedford's cost segregation studies were very successful for 755 Restaurant Corporation. We will be able to deduct an additional $1,400,000 in depreciation in 2011 and 2012 as a result of the studies."

"Every month I was spending an entire day dealing with trash companies (contracts, overcharges, rate increases, etc) not to mention the day to day issues of not showing up, not closing gates...once I put all our trash removal services in the hands of Waste USA all my problems went away. Additionally, they lowered my costs! Trash is now out of sight/out of mind as it should be."
— Denby Allen, Waste USA
