The Dwyer Group has been ranked one of the top 50 franchises for military veterans. The “best” franchises for military veterans were determined by 3 different variables: the overall program offered to the veterans, the percentage of veterans among existing franchisees, and the percentage of veterans among the companies senior management.
Mr. Rooter President, Mary Thompson, was one of only two companies in the top 50 to actually be a veteran herself. Thompson credits her success to the experience she gained serving as a Marine Corps officer.
There are many reasons veterans are a natural fit into franchising. They have a fierce work ethic, and will keep going even when the going gets tough. They are known for being self-disciplined, possess the ability to focus and block out distractions. Lastly, they have been conditioned to follow directions and adhere to systems.
This combination allows them to overcome the difficult times the franchise goes through, remain focused and dedicated to running a successful business, and they are able to follow the franchises’ time-proven system without costly deviations which is pivotal to their success.
Another reason the Dwyer Group’s franchises were appealing to veterans is the Vetfran program. The Vetfran program offers veterans a 25% discount on initial territory purchases and other vendor incentives for those who qualify. The program was established by The Dwyer Group’s founder Don Dwyer to benefit honorably discharged vets after the gulf war. Since then 360 and veterans are involved in the program and over 1,200 veterans have acquired their own franchise. It is The Dwyer Group’s way of giving back and thanking veterans for their service and sacrifices.
