Okay kiddo, so have you ever seen a McDonald's or a Subway restaurant? You know that someone owns that restaurant and sells food there, right?
Well, sometimes that person who owns the restaurant is a part of a bigger group called a franchise. A franchise is like a big family of restaurants that all have the same name and sell the same things.
The American Association of Franchisees and Dealers, or AAFD for short, is like a group of people who are a part of this big restaurant family, but they want to make sure they are treated fairly by the people who run the family. They want to make sure they make enough money to keep their restaurant going and make a living for their family.
So the AAFD helps these people who own restaurants by giving them advice and support if they have a problem with the people who run the franchise family. They also work to make sure the rules and policies that the franchise family has are fair for everyone, so that no one is taken advantage of.
In short, the American Association of Franchisees and Dealers is a group of people who want to make sure that the people who own restaurants in a big family are treated fairly, and that everyone plays by the same rules.
