Now he’s becoming an area developer for Loyalty Brands’ ATAX and Loyalty Business Services in markets along the east coast. Leese will help grow the brand in New Jersey, Philadelphia County, PA, New Castle County, DE, Hillsborough County and Tampa, FL. “I’m thrilled to join the Loyalty Brands team and continue to grow this young and multi-faceted company in my home state of New Jersey and beyond,” said Leese. “Loyalty Brands is a franchising maven, giving franchisees who sign on to operate one franchise concept the ability to expand their business portfolio at an accelerated pace by providing access to an additional six franchise concepts that offer complimentary business services, training, and support.” Leese will rely on his decades-long tax industry experience as a Jackson Hewitt multi-unit operator and owner of The Tax Authority. He’ll operate his own ATAX and Loyalty Business Service locations and help identify qualified franchise operators in more than 200 available territories throughout the eastern United States. - Get Started in Franchising - Franchise Rankings & Awards - Franchise Sales & Development - Featured Franchise Stories Franchising.com is produced by Franchise Update Media.
