7-Eleven Offering Free Franchise to a Vet. What do you think?

I think this is a great offer, a friend at 7-Eleven Corporate shared this with me. I think it shows they are stepping up to show support but wonder how it resonates with other vets. Take a look at the article and see what the conditions are.

7-Eleven to give away a franchise to a veteran

One veteran will be awarded a 7-Eleven franchise worth $190,000 as part of "Operation: Take Command," the company's first franchise giveaway contest.

That is great i did not know they were still around. I think that is great if you want to be your own boss and have the experience to run your own franchise this is a great opportunity.

I like the idea, SSG Peter Muse. It's kind of like American Idol (or one of those shows) for veterans, and the grand prize is a 7-Eleven franchise. Seems like a great idea and a fair way to award a veteran.

7-Eleven is already vet-friendly: "7-Eleven was selected a 2014-15 'Best for Vets' franchise by Military Times, as well as a Top 100 Military-Friendly Employer by GI Jobs, one of U.S. Veterans Magazine Top 100 Veteran-Friendly Companies and a MVE (Most Valuable Employer) by civilianjobs.com." This just adds to their vet-friendly reputation, in my opinion.

I support the idea of entrepreneurship for those who are able. One way to solve veterans employment issues is to be a founder on some corporate level.

Wow - this is Awesome!!
The Franchise that I was part of gave Veterans a 10% off the Franchise fee - which saved me thousands of $$ - 7-11 has been reinventing themselves - and there are more and more popping up here in the NW!
