The Philadelphia Franchise Association is a non-profit entity formed as a networking and educational group for franchisees, franchisors and suppliers to the franchising industry in the greater Philadelphia region. The cornerstone to the Philadelphia Franchise Association are the quarterly in person lunch meetings. The meetings go from 11:30am to 2pm at Maggiano’s in downtown Philadelphia on 12th & Filbert Street across the street from the historic Reading Terminal Market. There is plenty of time for networking with your franchising peers followed by an educational panel of experts discussing various topics that will help all of us in franchising run a better business. Our mission is to help educate, enlighten and enhance everyone in franchising. We are not just focused on the needs of franchisors, nor just the needs of franchisees. We believe that both franchisees and franchisors, even from different franchising systems, can learn from one another and take away ideas, tactics and strategies to enhance their business.
