Pokemoto, Muscle Maker, Inc.’s (Nasdaq:
GRIL)
growing Hawaiian Poke Bowl restaurant concept, today announced that
it is launching a discount program to assist veterans interested in
shifting their career path and opening their own Pokemoto Hawaiian
franchise. The program offers a $15k discount on the initial $25k
franchise fee bringing the total cost per agreement to $10k and is
in place as a thank you to the men and women who have served in the
United States military. The program includes active and retired
members of all branches of the United States military.
There are approximately 19 million veterans in
the United States and veterans account for 14 percent of
franchisees nationwide. The discipline and leadership qualities
instilled by the military make veterans great candidates of the
franchising system. Pokemoto offers ease of operations and low
start up costs making it more attractive to those looking to enter
the restaurant franchising world.
Muscle Maker, Inc. currently has locations on
military bases across the country including Fort Sill, Fort
Benning, Fort Bliss while recently converting a Muscle Maker Grill
location to a Pokemoto at Fort Meade. The CEO of Muscle Maker, Inc
was quoted stating that “the company was pleased with the results
of converting the Muscle Maker Grill location at Fort Meade to a
Pokemoto.”
Pokemoto recently announced a partnership with
FranFund a one-stop funding solution that has pioneered offering
multiple funding options under one roof in the franchise space for
those interested in a financial lending service. FranFund works
directly with VetFran, a strategic initiative of the international
franchise association, and offers a discounted pricing structure
for veterans.
“We’ve always been huge supporters of the men
and women who serve our great nation” said Michael Roper, CEO of
Muscle Maker Inc. “We believe in the military not only on a
business opportunity level to serve up healthier meals to military
members but also the values instilled in the people who serve which
is why we wanted to open up a discount program to bring them into
our Pokemoto Ohana! We have the resources available to help those
interested in taking the leap into entrepreneurship. The discount
and support provided by our franchising, real estate, operations
and marketing departments are the perfect mix to help a veteran get
started with opening their very own Pokemoto.”
