Pillar To Post Included in Top 100 Vet Friendly Franchises for 2012

Nov. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- (Tampa, FL)--- For a second year in a row, Pillar To Post Professional Home Inspection has been included in Franchise Business Review’s Top 100 Franchises for Veterans after meeting or exceeding expectations in franchisee satisfaction and performance.

The home inspection company, which currently boasts 130 veteran-owned franchises, honors military veterans year round (http://franchise.business-opportunities.biz/2011/11/03/maui-wowi-hawaiian-named-2011-military-friendly-franchise-by-g-i-jobs-magazine/) by offering a $1,500 discount off the franchise fee and in-house financing. These endowments allow veterans to use their training and operational skills in a new civilian career within the franchising industry.

“We have found that our veteran franchisees thrive within our proven model,” said Dan Steward, president and CEO of Pillar To Post. “Like the military, our system is centered around a solid structure that focuses on teamwork and professional training practices. Former service members are comfortable with this kind of model and oftentimes go above and beyond, making them essential resources in their communities.”

Earlier this year, Pillar To Post also ranked in the top 10 percent of all franchises nationwide (http://franchise.business-opportunities.biz/2011/11/03/ma...) and was named a 2012 Military Friendly Franchise (http://www.militaryfranchising.com/)® by G.I. Jobs Magazine (http://www.gijobs.com/) for the third year in a row.

The company expects to open a total of 52 new locations by the end of 2012; long-term plans include adding 500-600 new franchisees over the next five years.  Pillar To Post ranked 215 on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2012 Franchise 500 rankings.
