United Franchise Group Celebrates Women in Franchising National Appreciation Day

United Franchise Group is celebrating the 4th annual Women in Franchising National Appreciation Day on October 14th, an initiative the company created to honor women-led entrepreneurial achievements and encourage more women to consider the franchising industry. According to a 2024 report, 30% of all franchise owners are women, with the top motivation cited as a desire to be their own boss. This celebration comes at a time when women are increasingly making their mark in business ownership through franchising opportunities.

Ray Titus, Founder and CEO of United Franchise Group, emphasized the importance of recognizing women's contributions to the industry. Women continue to make a powerful impact in the franchising industry, and we're proud to honor their contributions with a dedicated observance day celebrating female entrepreneurs. For any woman curious about franchising—whether she's just exploring her options or getting ready to take the leap—we hope this day inspires her to discover the benefits of being a franchisee and find the opportunity that fits her best.

I've been a franchisee for 37 years and have seen more and more women choosing to build successful careers in this field. Franchising gives me the advantage of working with an established brand, while also connecting me to a community of experts who continue to support my growth as I expand my business.
