Let's celebrate franchising!
Canadian franchises contribute more than $120 billion per year to the Canadian economy and create jobs for almost two million Canadians. It's the 12th largest industry in Canada and it keeps growing!
Running a successful franchise is a lot of work and there are many people involved to move the business and the industry forward—hard work and success must be celebrated!
