American Freight Awards Territory to Veteran in North Carolina

Arellano formerly served as a Sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserves. His background also includes franchising two Jimmy John’s locations.

“Working with another franchise concept gives me a unique perspective, so I quickly realized the benefits of what makes American Freight a special opportunity,” said Arellano. “A huge benefit is my investment goes into purchasing product rather than building out a fancy store. And it’s furniture, not food, so there is no waste.”

The forthcoming location will be American Freight’s first in the Durham market.

“Liandro comes to American Freight with a wealth of knowledge in franchising and leadership expertise,” said Terry McGee, Vice President of Franchise Development at American Freight. “He knows how to follow a system and manage a team, which will make him a successful franchise owner. We look forward to partnering with him in opening his store in North Carolina.”
