Ready, Set and Growing Strong

Each month, Franchising World magazine sets its sights on helping you to expand your business. The April issue brings you strategies on growing your multi-unit franchise business, sharing highlights from the recent Annual Convention in New Orleans − one of IFA’s best-attended conventions – along with offering other articles filled with practical advice. You can tap into the experience of industry leaders to get advice on diversifying your multi-unit ownership across industries, how veterans can seize multi-unit opportunities, the value of multi-unit franchisee involvement in IFA and much more. Learn these strategies from authors that include:

• Aziz Hashim, president and CEO of NRD Holdings, LLC, a multi-brand and international franchise owner and operator, as well as IFA treasurer;
• Mary Kennedy Thompson, CFE, executive vice president of The Dwyer Group, president of Mr. Rooter and past VetFran chairwoman; and
• Matthew Patinkin, a multi-unit franchisee of Auntie Anne’s Pretzels and other brands.

And return to the IFA 54th Annual Convention in a multi-page photo spread that recalls how you wisely invested your time this past February in New Orleans. You participated in educational, networking and community outreach activities, as well as awards’ recognition ceremonies.
