At Lennys Grill & Subs, serving our communities has always been at the heart of what we do. This year, we’re proud to extend that commitment beyond our restaurants by launching a new Veteran Franchise Program designed to help military veterans pursue business ownership.
Veterans bring leadership, discipline, resilience, and a strong sense of purpose—qualities that have long been part of the Lennys culture. Through this new program, we’re making it easier for qualified veterans to take the next step in their careers by offering financial incentives and the support of a proven franchise system.
“We believe veterans possess many of the qualities that make exceptional franchise owners,” said Matt Cook, Chief Operating Officer for Lennys Grill & Subs. “Their ability to lead teams, follow systems, overcome challenges, and serve their communities aligns naturally with the values that have helped Lennys grow for nearly three decades.”
For military veteran and Lennys franchisee Chris Alford, the program reflects an opportunity he knows firsthand.
“Military service taught me the importance of leadership, discipline, and accountability. When I began exploring business ownership, I wanted an opportunity that allowed me to continue leading others, serving my community, and making an impact. Lennys provided a proven business model and a support team that helped me transition into business ownership with confidence.”
The Veteran Franchise Program offers qualified veterans a reduced initial franchise fee, a reduced royalty rate during their first year of operation, and the opportunity to earn back their franchise fee after successfully meeting program requirements. More importantly, it provides a path for veterans to continue leading, serving, and making a difference in the communities they call home.
At Lennys, we’re incredibly grateful to the men and women who have served our country. Their commitment inspires us, and we’re honored to support their next chapter through entrepreneurship and small business ownership.
Thank you to all who have served.
