New Great Quote and Must Read Before Labor Day
Many years ago, we started a spin-off podcast to Franchise Interviews called Great Quotes in Franchising. Great Quotes in Franchising features great quotes and aha moments from our show. We start today's show with our latest Great Quote in Franchising, which comes from Alex Wilkes of Pearle Vision. Alex discusses why pride in the brand name is so important when choosing a franchise opportunity.

One of Marty McDermott's (Host of Franchise Interviews) favorite movies is Forrest Gump.
