“Don Dwyer was a true visionary when he first created VetFran in 1991 to honor our men and women in the military with a path towards business ownership after their service,” said Mike Bidwell, CEO of Dwyer Group. “To see the program continue to grow across so many franchisors today is the ultimate tribute to his dream. We are honored that six of our brands are recognized by Military Times for their strong support and partnership with veterans and we continue to promote the VetFran opportunity across all Dwyer Group service brands.”
