The last year-and-a-half have been difficult to say the least. Between worrying about our families, keeping our kids on track and trying to work productively from home, we have faced many collective obstacles. And franchising has been in the thick of it. Most industries have had to offer curbside pick up, contactless delivery or shut down for a period of time. And we are still not out of the woods. As things continue to remain uncertain, the Pillars of Franchising team is here is here to discuss the obstacles we have faced in the franchising space and to offer solutions and perspective on things to do today and in the future to help ease the pain. It ain’t pretty, but there is hope! As in most times of economic distress, the franchising model tends to survive and often thrive in hard times. Together, we can face the struggle and work to find solutions and support.

Join host Ray Pillar, Owner of Molly Maid Aurora-Naperville, co-host Kristin Selmeczy, Chief Business Warrior of Pillars of Franchising, David, Kajganich, Million Dollar Franchisee Mentor and Platinum Rule Franchisee and Jerry Akers, Million Dollar Franchisee Mentor and Great Clips franchisee as they discuss the three biggest obstacles for franchising in the last 16 months and offer ways to sustain your business going forward. We welcome your input, advice and questions as always. Let us know how we can help.

After our roundtable discussion, Obstacles and Opportunities: Navigating Franchise Ownership in 2021, Fred McMurray will take everyone Down the Rabbit hole with a question that has been ripped from the headlines.
