Because you don’t get into franchising if you don’t care about people — because your franchisees, as a franchisor, they’re *my* people.” ## Entities - 1851 Franchise (publication) - Beauty & Wellness (sector) - women in franchising (topic) - female empowerment (topic) - franchising strategies (topic) --- Originally reported by 1851 Franchise (https://1851franchise.com/2024-top-women-in-franchising-jami-stigliano-2725534).
