Franchising Cares!

We couldn’t publish a Covid-19 special edition without including something about how franchisors, franchisees, and their employees stepped up during the past several months to give back – to their communities, to medical workers, to first responders, and simply to people who needed a helping hand during a tough time. Despite their own difficulties and personal concerns, these individuals and organizations are another kind of hero, and we want to recognize and salute them. These news items, taken directly from our Covid-19 Report newsletters, are only a partial list of all the good franchising has done during this crisis.

So hats off – and thank you! – to all the brands and individuals in franchising who stepped up to help in a time of crisis.
