Business relations between Indonesia and the United States (U.S.) will be stronger. After 16 U.S. franchises pushed into Indonesia, now turn to the State Uwak Sam franchise targeting Indonesia.

David Gossack, Counsellor Commercial Affairs Ministry of Commerce, said the investors of the country interested in bringing a local franchise to the U.S. company. Unfortunately, he locked the meeting the name of the company's franchise glance. "We are interested in a franchise company will expand into Indonesia and there," said Gossack to Cash in Commercial Press Conference on US-Indonesia in building the U.S. Embassy, ​​Jakarta, Wednesday (12/14/2011).

Indonesia recognizes Gossack franchise glance because of rapid development. Indonesia's stable economic conditions make the franchise revenues go up.

Just to illustrate, the U.S. has more than 1,000 franchise companies operating in the 100 area businesses. Still the largest investor from Europe and Japan.

Population in the U.S. middle class is also great potential to increase the turnover of the franchise. Amir estimates, the turnover of the franchise in the U.S. reached a trillion dollars per year.
