Military to Franchise Ownership
See the story below of two veterans using VetFran to help them create their civilian franchising careers.
Roger Gauert and Jeff Olson own two completely different types of business franchises: Gauert has two Sport Clips – hair-cutting franchises in Maryland. Olson has one Papa Murphy’s – a take-and-bake pizza franchise in Wisconsin. But, both have one thing in common: Each chose veteran-friendly corporations to launch their businesses, through the VetFran® program offered by the International Franchise Association (IFA).
When all is said and done, veterans taking care of veterans makes all the difference to a fledgling business, Gauert and Olson say. Not only that, they observe that the military’s leadership culture also lends to workplace climates that in turn lead to franchise success.
