A veteran of the United States Navy, Brian Thompson spent nine years working in the nuclear power program in the submarine service. After retiring from service, he spent more than two decades working in corporate America before an opportunity to own his own business came up. Brian is a local business owner, and he 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.
