This issue is all about women in franchising. As the number of women in the space continues to grow, we want to acknowledge the opportunity franchising affords to women and families. Our cover story this month is about WBNA legend Jackie Stiles whose trailblazing career opened doors for other female athletes. She is stepping into franchising through her NextGen Fitness franchise, as we plan to follow her story as she navigates her new “team.”
We also interview Mandy Rowe of TrueREST float spa who has learned from her father and is taking her experience to elevate the business. Jane Plitt, a pioneer in the Women’s Movement herself, brings to us the story of Martha Matilda Harper who is the uncredited founder of the modern retail franchise model.
Our regular contributors bring their "A" game, so take a look!
