Veterans In Franchising Workshop and Expo in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The event, sponsored by the North Carolina Veteran’s Business Association, American Dream U, and the West Business Group, brought together veterans, their spouses, investors, small business owners and entrepreneurs to learn about franchising opportunities.

The national conversation surrounding military personnel transitioning to civilian duty frequently focuses on veteran employment, but many veterans are unaware that self-employment is an equally viable option. In a panel discussion, veterans franchisees of brands such as Five Guys Burgers, Interface Financial Group and Hoodz International told stories of their success in franchising. The day closed with an expo of franchise brands: Mosquito Joe, Hoodz International, 1-800-Water Damage, and Vetrepreneurs.
