The Best Franchise for Veterans

From Service to Success:
Why Veterans Excel as DreamMaker Franchise Owners
A Proven Path From Service to Ownership
For many veterans, the transition from military service to civilian life can feel like embarking on a new mission without a clear roadmap. At DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen, we believe that the discipline, leadership, teamwork, and commitment instilled through military service are exactly the qualities that make veteran entrepreneurs thrive in business ownership.
At DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen, we’ve found that veterans are some of the best franchise owners. Veterans bring integrity, discipline, leadership, problem solving, and a resilient spirit – the very qualities that define DreamMaker franchisees. These valuable skills are highly transferable to the business world, and especially franchising.
We provide time-tested processes that leverage these strengths, and our franchise culture based on core values of respect and integrity set us apart from other opportunities. Whether you’re dreaming of business ownership or simply looking for purpose in your next chapter, DreamMaker might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

From Military to the Marketplace
Franchising Offers Proven Processes Veterans Can Easily Implement
If you were to ask a franchisee (regardless of brand) what one of the biggest benefits they receive through franchising is, most will mention proven processes.
Think about the proven processes of a franchise like the military’s SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) where they are used to standardize how a unit operates through the use of organizational best practices. In franchising, they reduce the risk of failure by providing a roadmap based on proven methods and successful strategies.
At DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen, we offer the best franchise for veterans to own a kitchen, bath, and interior remodeling business with proven processes. More than half of our franchisees joined us with little to no experience in business or remodeling. Like other franchisors, we can teach marketing, sales, design, project management, and financials; however, the best franchisees are ones who match our DreamMaker culture and follow our time-tested processes and systems. We truly believe that veterans have what it takes and the innate characteristics to excel at franchise ownership.

From Service to Successful Ownership
DreamMaker franchise ownership has helped veterans across the country transition their leadership skills into successful businesses.
David Vargas is a U.S. Army Veteran and DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen owner in South Charlotte, NC. David’s journey began in Columbia, where he faced tragedy at a young age before emigrating to the U.S. When he was old enough, he enlisted in the Army to give back to the country that had given him so much. After serving, he worked in banking for 15 years, but something was missing. He craved purpose, impact, and ownership.
He and his wife turned to business ownership, ultimately finding their fit with DreamMaker. What drew them in? Our culture, our values, and our system. “If you follow their model diligently, put in the hard work and persistence, the chances of success are very high,” David shares. For he and his wife, entrepreneurship through franchising became a way to rediscover purpose, provide for their family, and build a lasting legacy.
Another DreamMaker veteran family is Jeff and Ruth Vargo, West Point grads and former Army officers. After a decade of living in the corporate world post-military, they realized they were living a life that didn’t fully reflect their dreams. Jeff had always loved home improvement, and in 2020, they both took a leap of faith and purchased a DreamMaker franchise in the Woodlands, TX.
Jeff describes the shift as a calling: “I started asking myself hard questions and felt like God was telling me to make a change.” Now, through their DreamMaker franchise, they’ve both found fulfillment and the chance to serve their community. As Ruth puts it, “To have this dream and then actually try to go out and do it – it’s such a gift.”
