Over a period of twenty years I was a franchisee and operated retail store front franchise locations with six different companies. From 1988 through 2002, I developed, operated and served as CEO for two Michigan based franchising companies.
During this time I developed extensive first hand experience with creating and utilizing Franchise and Licensing Agreements, Operations Manuals, Training Programs, Business Concept Packaging, Marketing and Group Advertising.
I have solid hands on experience in dealing with attorneys, CPAs, Real Estate Brokers, Bankers, Licensing Agencies, Zoning and Signage Ordinances, Builders, Business Brokers, Vendors, Manufacturers, Media Advertising, POS Computing Vendors, and the retail and wholesale buying public.
I have developed and conducted new and operating franchisee one on one and group training, have bought and sold businesses and real estate, and have sold franchises.
I am very much attuned to the litigious nature of modern business format franchising and have chaired franchisee advisory boards, formed and worked with franchisee associations and have implemented processes that provide mutual benefit to franchisees and franchisers.
