The Great American Franchise Expo is open this weekendAt EaseThe largest Veteran-centric franchise trade show, The Great American Franchise Expo, is on at the Dulles Expo Center this weekend, September 17-18th. Veterans are always granted free admission. Veterans own 1 out of every 7 franchises in the U.S., according to a study conducted by the International Franchise Association (IFA), despite making up about 7 percent of the civilian adult population. It is a fact that those who serve in the military exemplify the best of America. The men and women who serve our country give selflessly of themselves so that we can live the American dream. From that group of heroes rise a very special group of men and women who have earned the right to lead those who defend our freedoms. Ted O'Shea The Great American Franchise Expo 10 Min Read -
