It was at the end of the first Gulf War when franchising visionary and The Dwyer Group founder, Don Dwyer, had an inspirational idea: empower military veterans to get into business for themselves yet not by themselves. That vision grew into VetFran, a program designed to incentivize former veterans to become new franchise owners. Today, his daughter Dina Dwyer-Owens, CEO and Chairwoman of The Dwyer Group, has expanded that program to include more than 400 franchise brands across the country and is extending the vision again.
This time, however, she is pioneering a program designed to salute law enforcement officers and firefighters and to help our communitys heroes get into business for themselves through franchise incentives.
Dwyer-Owens program, Public Protectors Franchise Advantage Program (PPFA), offers 20 percent off the minimum franchise fee for any current or former fulltime law enforcement/fire person with a minimum of two years of full-time service.
My Dad would have been so proud to see how far VetFran has come, Dwyer-Owens said, noting that she, along with the International Franchise Association and other franchisors, have helped 2,100 veterans get into business, including 236 by The Dwyer Group. The Public Protectors Franchise Advantage Program is the next logical step to help more great people own their own business.
To promote the PPFA launch, The Dwyer Group will award the waiver of the initial franchise fee for one base level franchise from one of its franchise brands to a qualifying individual in recognition of the inception of the PPFA. Nominations will be accepted from March 20, 2012, until July 1, 2012, at http://www.leadingtheserviceindustry.com/protectors.asp.
The PPFA Award winner will receive the waiver of the initial franchise fee for a base level (100,000 population) franchise, which value, depending on the franchise brand selected, will range from $ 26,000 to $ 29,500. The minimum qualifications of the future franchisee include:
