Been going down a rabbit hole on this and wanted to get some real-world perspective. I know the general wisdom around essential services and repair-based businesses being more resilient, but curious what people here have actually seen play out.

Which franchise concepts kept humming along (or maybe even picked up) when consumer spending dropped? And which ones looked safe on paper but didn’t hold up?

Not in a rush to pull the trigger on anything, just trying to understand the landscape a bit better before I go too deep on any one category. Appreciate any input.
