Well-run Franchise Appeals to Veterans

Published on: November 10, 2017

Kaleb Warnock, Franchise Owner When Kaleb Warnock retired from the United States Navy, he went looking for his next opportunity and found it as a Tropical Smoothie Cafe Franchise Owner. Coming from a military background, he was especially impressed by the training the franchise offered.

“We learned what would normally take five years in just five months. Tropical Smoothie Cafe is a well-run operation,” said Warnock.

Veteran Emily Harrington shares his excitement. A former Signal Corps Officer in the United States Army, she is a foodservice veteran as well.

“This brand is consistently named as one of the top franchise opportunities for veterans. That made it the obvious choice for me,” said Harrington.

Entrepreneur agrees. They named Tropical Smoothie Cafe in its 2017 Top Franchises for Veterans. Qualified veterans who join Tropical Smoothie Cafe receive a 50% discount on their franchise fee.
