Gain The Tactical Advantage

There are times when you are faced with difficult decisions; times when you need to follow your gut instinct, and trust the person next to you. Those who have served in our military units understand that winning takes determination, leadership, and the ability to out-strategize the competitor. Our organization is filled with veterans from all of the armed forces.

They’ve replaced the structure of their platoon with solid business and organization skills; the type of skills that enable one to nurture a new business into one that can support your family, pay for college, and provide a comfortable retirement.

What Is VetFran?

VetFran is a Veterans Transition Franchise Initiative program initiated with the cooperation of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Veterans Corporation and the U.S. Small Business Administration, and sponsored by the International Franchise Organization (IFA).

The VetFran program benefits honorably discharged Veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces who are interested in going into business for themselves, but not by themselves. Currently, more than 200 of America’s top franchisors are members of VetFran and are able to offer specific discounts to U.S. Veterans for their respective franchise opportunities. Driven Brands is proud to be among this esteemed group of franchisors.

Driven Brands offers a 25% discount to Veterans who have a DD214. We have provided nearly $500,000 in Vet-Fran discounts since 2006, which makes us the third highest Vet-Fran discount provider.

Volunteering for Meineke Active Duty
Insight Magazine / August 15, 2007

A growing number of America’s military veterans are investing in franchised businesses today, a path made easier by the Veterans Transition Franchise initiative, known as VetFran. This voluntary program, offered by Meineke and 200 other International Franchise Association (IFA) members, has helped launch 700+ military veterans as small business owners since 2002.

Veterans attracted to Meineke Car Care Centers often cite the advantages of our readily recognized brand name, structured business system, and ongoing training and support programs. There’s also the financial incentive of Meineke’s $7,500 franchise license discount, available to honorably discharged service veterans presenting their DD Form 214 military separation papers.
