Calling all franchise owners! Calling all franchise brands! Calling all that do business with franchises!

It’s imperative we remind the world of the role franchising plays in business.

There are more than 750,000 franchise establishments in the US alone. 7.49 million US employees work in franchise businesses. The economic output of the US franchise industry is valued at $670 billion. 10.5% of all businesses in the US are franchises.

Please make the image below your profile picture on your social media accounts from now through #SmallBusinessSaturday. It will stand as a reminder for everyone to #ShopSmall #ShopLocal at your franchise small business or restaurant on Nov. 26th. #ShopFranchise

And please share the following images in your social media activity ahead of Small Business Saturday and even throughout the year to remind consumers that franchises are small business.

Also, if you see any of these images being posted on social media, please LIKE and SHARE to help spread the message – Franchise Are Small Business!

If you haven’t yet read yesterday’s article at Acceler8Success Cafe, you may do so at the link below. As well, please SHARE to help others understand how this movement came about and where we are today.
