Note
The plural is regular: franchise simply takes -s, and the plural counts whichever kind is meant. That might be rights granted by a government, a company's authorization to sell its goods in an area, or the businesses operating under one. Each of these can also be used as a mass noun, so choosing the plural signals separate grants or outlets you could count one by one.
