The more we think of it, the more we see the surprising structural similarities between franchising and the military.
On the battlefield, you work individually with a mission in mind. But you exist within a hierarchy with expertise in handling similar situations. You are also surrounded by a strong support network.
We’ve been supporting veterans in franchising for nearly as long as we’ve been blogging, and the new issue of QSR magazine expresses its own enthusiasm with the trend. It profiles the veteran franchise programs at restaurants like Little Caesars, Steak-Out and Figaro’s Pizza.

We’d like to especially single out Maid Brigade, who recently joined the Franchise Direct family.
