Franchise Business Review’s Veterans and Franchising 2011 is the first report to look at which franchise opportunities are most veteran-friendly based on franchisee satisfaction.

Our Town America is an exceptional opportunity

"I left the corporate arena... and one thing that I needed to find was an opportunity where I could make a decent income. With three children and a wife, two dogs and a few other animals.. so we went to work immediately when we bought our franchise and we worked extremely hard to get to where we are, but I'll tell you what - there has been a lot of success both from a personal standpoint and from a financial standpoint. I think I made a great decision as far as coming onboard with Our Town." -Chris Beer Our Town Atlanta, GA (North)

“At first I just thought, well, that’s an interesting niche, I’ll just use that as a way to supplement my income. But I found that it offered several benefits: number one, the margins were higher, that was nice, I gave it a try and after six months in the business I was making more with Our Town than I had after three years with [this] other company.” -Kris Kirk Our Town Fort Worth, TX
