Damon Dunn says that his own background – growing up poor and without access to meaningful mentorship – is his motivation to go back into low-income and underrepresented communities today and uplift students by providing mentorship and resources. Damon 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.
