The NFL franchise in Decatur Illinois is now what team?

The Chicago Bears are the NFL franchise that once played in Decatur, Il.

The Bears were founded in 1919 by the A.E. Staley Co. (makers of a fine brand of corn starch) of Decatur ,Illinois. The company named the team The Decatur Staleys for their inaugural season.

In 1920 the A.E. Staley Company turned full ownership & control of the team over the coaches George Halas and Edward "Dutch" Sternaman. Halas and Sternaman joined the new APFA, American Professional Football Association in 1920, becoming one of the founding members of what would become the NFL (the APFA was renamed the National Football League in 1922.) George Halas bought out Sternaman in 1933 and the Halas family has controlled the Bears ever since.

Halas and Sternaman moved the team from Decatur to Chicago in 1921, renaming the team the Chicago Staleys. One year later, in 1922, they would change the name of the team to the Chicago Bears.

The Bears are considered to be the second oldest football organization in the NFL, with the oldest team being the now Arizona Cardinals, who trace their roots back to 1898.

Who can open a hooters?

unless you have millions of dollars and make a good deal with the owner the chances are slim and none hooters is a privite corperation and i dont know if they are doing to good cause buffalo seems to have had all the hooters shut down on us and it sux

the majority of hooters restaurants are franchised owned, it does not take millions to open one......I won't say exactly how much but the franchisee must commit to opening 2-3 stores in that area over time.

one of the requirements (not written in stone) but is very preferred is that the owner has major restaurant experience.

you do not have to know anyone within the corporation to be considered and there is not an "owner". It is a corporation run by regular corporate officers...i.e. CEO, VP's. The CEO is the son of one of the founders.

trust me, hooters is doing just fine and continuing to grow especially in other countries.

What is a franchise royalty clause?

A franchise royalty clause is a provision in a franchise agreement that requires compensation ("royalty") to the franchisor for the right to use the franchisor's protected, branded intellectual property (usually bearing a "TM" or an "R" or "S" with a circle around it which indicates a federally registered trademark, or "C" with or without circle that means there is a federally registered copyright). It can also be for something that is a patented product owned by the franchisor or one of its affiliates and is used in connection with the franchise.

For example, if you have a McDonald's franchise, you pay as part of your franchise fee royalties to McDonald's for use of all of their branded marks: the golden arches, the company name itself including the various shapes of the lettering, names like "Big Mac" and "Quarter-Pounder", etc. And when you are required to buy supplies, such as paper napkins and straws, that are required to have the McDonald's logos on them, you are most likely paying the supplier a royalty as part of the cost of the product, that they in turn have to pay to McDonald's again for the use of the logo and name on their products.

They ruined superstar mode for madden 10 in my opinion. They took out most of the things that made it fun. Maybe they will make an add-on that we can download to make it better? If you want to play superstar mode go back to madden 09.

Many business owners successfully franchise their own businesses using franchise documents bought from vendors on the web, just as many people look to buy forms such as bill-of-sales from web vendors. Google search for/under Franchise Documents and look for a USA vendor. You will find some companies based in the USA and others outside of the USA. I would definitely buy only from a US company and from one using credit cards not Paypal.

How do you get a Disney store franchise?

You can't. Disney no longer owns the Disney Store chain. It was sold to the same company that owns the Build-A-Bear stores. Even if Disney still actually owned the Disney Stores, it is not something that is franchised out like a Taco Bell.

You can sell authentic Disney merchandise with your own store though.
