TESTIMONIALS
“We’ve been exhibiting at the show
for about four years now. It’s been a
great show for us. We’ve closed some
really good deals, brought some great
franchisees into the system, and we’ll
continue to attend.”
-Bill Chemero
Executive Vice President,
Wayback Burgers
“The IFE has given me the opportunity to
be able to expose my brand all over the
world and it gives me the opportunity to
really make an impact with what it is that
I’m trying to achieve. I’m very grateful
because the support that they give me
is unbelievable. If you were thinking of
coming to the IFE, there’s no other place
in the world where you can get the kind
of mass exposure to different franchise
brands than here.”
-Elena Linares
Owner, Razzle Dazzle Barber Shop
“We see great value exhibiting at IFE;
not only do we get to meet our potential
franchisees face-to-face, but we know
that those potential franchisees have
been educated not only by visiting with
other franchisors but by attending some
of the seminars that are given here. We
love IFE; the leads that we gain are great;
we always end up doing a deal.”
-Gary Occhiogrosso
President/Chief Development Officer,
TruFoods
“Exhibiting at the International
Franchising Expo has really, really,
opened our eyes up to the multitude of
different personalities and the different
things people are out there looking for.
We knew we were going to come here
and possibly walk away with some great
exposure as well as with some leads, but
I think what we got was a lot more than
that. We got the ability to personally talk
about not only what makes us special
but talk about what makes other people
special.”
-Peter Ackerman
Owner, Wrap City Sandwich Company
