Is Main Branch a branch or the Main Outlet?

[BTSS]

A branch is not a stem or main part of tree. Why they call a main outlet a main branch?

 

[Nice-Gook]

you have to take it from the point where the trunk of a tree starts to branch ,

but where the trunk of a tree and the branch is the same its the main branch

I can understand Main Office, Main Outlet, but to call it Main Branch sounds funny. A branch is just a branch, a Main Branch is just another branch and not the nerve centre of the whole operations.

KNN my uncle think this is a valid point but only to a company that only have presence in sg i.e local company KNN for other business like bank etc where the hq is not in sg they can have a main branch in sg with sub branches in sg KNN

I see many F and B business have 2 or 3 outlets, then they call one of them Main Branch. Isn't it the Main Shop, not a branch?

To call your shop Main Branch when you do not have a parent outlet bigger than the main branch or play a more important part of your business is misleading.

Let me say just this

in commercial world you cannot be technical about things . Many identifications and nomenclature came into being just because of market practice

even our judiciary recognise this , hence weightage is given to what people in the commercial world practices

now , I donch noe much about F & B and it’s practices , thus my guesstimate and speculation

perhaps , the first ever branch to have been opened are accorded such a status as the main branch

 

[eatshitndie]

a branch that grows unusually large, long, and becums almost like another trunk is called a "sucker". i cut them off before they grow too unmanageable to remove. in sg, main branches are money spinners and crowd pullers, thus you don't cut them off. you becum the sucker and suck from them.
