CHARLOTTE – Dedicated to supporting and growing with those who have served our country, Meineke has risen through the ranks to earn its spot on Entrepreneur magazine’s 201
Entrepreneur ranked Meineke as number 36 on the magazine’s annual ranking of the top 150 franchises offering incentives, support and other programs to help veterans become franchisees. To learn more about the incentives Meineke provides veterans.
“It’s a true honor to provide veterans with a business opportunity that builds on their unique strengths and recognizes their sacrifice and devotion to our country,” said John Moreau, vice president of franchise development at Meineke. “Veterans tend to possess a unique skillset, experience and perspective that equips them for success as a Meineke franchisee, and we’re happy to continue providing resources and incentives that help, support and encourage veterans to join our system.”
To be eligible for the “Top Franchises for Veterans” list, companies are required to participate in a survey designed to help Entrepreneur learn more about their veterans programs. Factors considered into the annual ranking include each company's veteran incentive, how veteran franchisees are attracted to and supported by the company, and how each company scored in the 2018 Franchise 500. From there, the top 150 franchise concepts offering the best opportunities for veterans interested in becoming franchisees are named to Entrepreneur’s “Top Franchises for Veterans” list.
Ideal Meineke franchisees are coachable, yet demonstrate an entrepreneurial spirit that fosters sales and revenue growth. Executive-level corporate experience and/or franchise ownership and operations experience is preferred, but not required.
