In 1996, Jyoti Sarolia was able to buy her own hotel. Now, she is a Principal at Ellis Hospitality, a third-generation hotelier franchise. But none of this would be possible without the franchise business model. Jyoti is a local business owner, and she is Open for Opportunity. 

Franchising is open for opportunity.

“We’re Open” means something different today on Main Street. Times have changed—our communities need more from us as local businesses, leaders, and job creators. That is who we are. IFA members and franchise owners ARE those local business creators driving America’s economic recovery.

Together, we are Open for Opportunity.
