Participating in MFV Expos provides significant value for both attendees and exhibitors by fostering the meaningful connections that lead to partnerships and future success stories.”
For the first time in the company’s three decades of producing successful franchise expos, MFV Expositions will reach into the bustling mid-Atlantic corridor with a stop in Charlotte, NC – the nation’s second-largest banking and financial hub. First in the 2025 lineup, Franchise Expo Charlotte will feature new and innovative programming designed to build out and encourage more meaningful dialogue among attendees and exhibitors. Specific programming details added to the agenda of each of the four domestic expos will be shared in future announcements.
Expo Benefits and Variety
At each expo, MFV’s attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with a wide variety of franchise brands at every investment level, as well as industry vendors and suppliers. From new and emerging to well-established franchisors, these exhibitors represent a diverse range of business opportunities – everything from food and beverage and automotive services to healthcare, popular retail outlets, and childcare. MFV’s expos are routinely attended by some of the most influential franchise brands in the industry, such as 7-Eleven, Burger King, American Family Care, Perkins Restaurant and Bakery, Rosati’s Pizza, The Learning Experience, and Fantastic Sams.
Building on the tremendous success of last year’s expos Joksimovic is optimistic about the organization’s lineup in 2025. “I’m highly confident in the choices we’ve made for hosting our 2025 MFV Expos. I think it highlights our commitment to target specific DMAs that are not only thriving economically, but also have robust tools and resources in place to support and encourage the growing demand for entrepreneurship.”
