Franchises exclusive distribution costs the Canadian entity money.
Why is it that Macdonalds can charge a million dollars for a franchise in canada, Toys are us can get $400,000.
why is a toy at ToysR Us $29. in the US and $49 in Canada. Because along with the fees they paid to get the franchise exclusive distribution they are also required to incur major expenses and recover them over time.
Monopoly is a game played for entertainment, business is designed for profits and exclusive distribution or franchises cost money.
Wanting to have your cake and eat it too is a pipe dream, taking the bull by the horns and investing in a Canadian business with your own money and risk is quite another. Leupold USA apparently likes the arrangement of having one licenced importer in Canada doing the job rather than each dealer having to import their own products or they wouldn't have continued the relationship with Korth for so many years.
if the US businesses have expenses as well as lower utility costs and taxes and BP is circumventing the canadian distribution network why are they not undercutting Authorized Canadian Dealers by hundreds of dollars per scope and passing the apparent savings on to canadian consumers? Because they to have brokerage fees, canadian investments to be recovered as well as wanting a profit. So with no warrenty in Canada from unauthorized dealers and the scope costing the same who is ripping who off??
US companies also should have better buying power as Leupold probably sells more scopes in Texas in a year than to the whole of Canada. That is a little business dynamic known as population density. Where are these savings being passed on to consumers?? BP should be matching all US sales price points in Canada.
