It’s no secret that DreamMaker™ Bath and Kitchen has a soft spot for our military and that we are an ideal franchise for veterans. But why is that?
The experience veterans gain during their service translates extremely well to franchise ownership. Being a franchise owner requires focus, dedication and passionate execution of the franchise system, as well as perseverance and the ability to motivate and lead a team. These are all the same qualities that lead to success in the military.
DreamMaker™ Bath and Kitchen has grown swiftly to have locations in many states, in part by leveraging the strengths and qualities of the men and women from our armed forces. In fact, when surveyed by Franchising.com about what qualities service members bring to the private sector, veterans cited their strong work ethic, leadership skills and the ability to operate under pressure as part of a cohesive team.
These are the same hallmarks of a successful DreamMaker™ Bath and Kitchen franchise owner.
We work hard at creating a culture that speaks to veterans’ intrinsic drive to serve, appeals to their operational comfort zones and leverages their special training.
We accomplish these things by doing the following:
Coombs credits the military for preparing him to lead his business. “I am proud to have served as an officer in the Air Force as a Missile Combat Crew Member. As an officer I had the opportunity to learn valuable leadership skills that I have carried with me into this career. I will always be grateful for the opportunity to be a member of the military, serve my country and learn lifelong skills.”
DreamMaker™ Bath and Kitchen has seen great results since incorporating the above traits into our business and has attracted skilled veterans and leaders.
We have found that veterans make exceptional franchisees on par with entrepreneurial A-players. They are trustworthy, high-achieving and independent, with the ability to make solid decisions in tough situations. They take responsibility and ownership of their business while empowering others to do the same.
DreamMaker™ is working to make lives better for veterans, whether they need help remodeling or are looking for a new career. The company is part of the International Franchise Association’s VetFran program, which provides discounts to veterans starting a business. In fact, the VetFran program was founded by Don Dwyer Sr., the father of DreamMaker™ President and Chief Stewarding Officer Doug Dwyer.
