Well, since the game is free and you earn them within the game, yes you can. But you have to build houses and shops in order to get them, you can't just get them from somewhere else of have friends present you with them (unless they are willing to present you with a paysafecard or something and have you use it to buy CityVille Cash which you can then turn into CityVille Coins...). Sorry...
To get your franchise going find a Facebook friend that has an open franchise spot. Simply decide what business you want to place there and put up the structure. This will cost coins so be sure you have enough to place the structure. Once you have the structure placed your Facebook friend will need to confirm it and then you'll start to make extra money from that franchise.
Build more houses to increase your population, and build more community buildings to raise your population limit (and if necessary buy more land).
