February 20, 2009: Meineke #3 in Vet Licenses

One in seven veterans become a small business owner.
A growing number of America’s military veterans are investing in franchised businesses today, a path made easier by the Veterans Transition Franchise initiative, known as VetFran. This voluntary program, offered by Meineke and 350 other International Franchise Association (IFA) members, has helped launch 1,200 military veterans as small business owners since 2002.

Veterans attracted to Meineke Car Care Centers are on the rise says the International Franchise Association (IFA), who recently ranked Meineke 3rd in licenses sold among all franchisors. Our VetFran program provides veterans with a 25% ($7,500) discount off the original license fee of $30,000.

Service veterans often cite the advantages of our readily recognized Meineke Car Care Center name, structured business system, and ongoing training and support programs.
