Veterans We've Served
From the Service to Ownership
Michael Torres
U.S. Army Veteran & Franchise Owner
"After 12 years in the Army, I wanted to keep leading a team. They walked me through the VetFran discount and SBA financing, and within a year I was commanding my own franchise. The transition was smoother than I ever expected."
Jennifer Walsh
U.S. Navy Veteran & Multi-Unit Owner
"The military discount saved me thousands on my franchise fee, and the funding options made ownership realistic. The discipline I learned in the Navy is exactly what running this business takes. Now I own three locations."
David Chen
U.S. Marine Corps Veteran & Franchise Owner
"They understood what veterans bring to the table. They matched me with a brand that valued my leadership and connected me to grants I didn't even know existed. Best decision I've made since leaving the Corps."
