## Story

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – Dream Vacations has been ranked one of the top 150 franchises for veterans in 2024 by Entrepreneur. The ranking highlights the top franchise companies that offer incentives to veterans who join their systems.

“The veteran owned franchises are deeply valued members of our community, and they are also quite active and engaged in their local communities", shared Drew Daly, senior vice president and general manager for Dream Vacations. “We take great pride in having veterans as part of the Dream Vacations family. Their participation in our committees offers essential insights, and many graciously mentor new franchisees. The team considers it a privilege and honor to support them and provide solid business for veterans.

Almost 500 companies applied to be considered for Entrepreneur’s annual ranking of the top franchises for veterans. To determine the top 150 from that pool, Entrepreneur evaluated their systems based on several factors, including the incentives they offer veterans (such as franchise fee discounts), how many of their units are owned by veterans, whether they offer any franchise giveaways or contests for veterans, whether they have any veterans on their leadership team, and more. The ranking also considered each company’s 2024 Franchise 500 score, which is based on an analysis of 150-plus data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.

“Franchises love veterans for two good reasons: They're the heroes of our nation, and they make incredible franchisees,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine.
