## Story

Caron, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, holds a bachelor's degree in sports biology, a doctorate in osteopathic medicine and is fellowship trained in spine and orthopedic trauma surgery. He served as the Director of Orthopedic Trauma at one of the 25 largest U.S. health systems and earned an MBA from the prestigious University of Southern California, Marshall School of Business.

“I’m at the point in my career where I want to plan for my future,” said Caron. “I came across American Freight’s franchise opportunity and saw significant value driven by strong unit economics, an experienced and trusted management team, and the opportunity to scale my business with American Freight beyond these three stores.”

“Our easy-to-build, quick-to-open and highly scalable franchise model appeals to entrepreneurs from all backgrounds and industries,” said John Henning, Director of Franchise Development at American Freight.

Since adopting the franchising model in early 2021, American Freight has signed six franchise agreements to multi-unit operators that represent 20 new locations, which are scheduled to open in the next two to three years.

“It’s clear that American Freight is making a name for itself in franchising,” said Will Powell, CEO of American Freight. “We offer individuals a new business opportunity with the backing of a nationally recognized brand and seasoned management team. We’re thrilled to welcome Troy to the team and are looking forward to helping him grow his business.”
