“The IFA is proud to recognize the commendable efforts of Sean and Christian Macaulay with the Franchisee of the Year Award,” said IFA Chairman Dina Dwyer-Owens. “The franchising community is fortunate for the outstanding contributions of these exemplary individuals who have helped bolster the growth of the industry.”
Franchise owner-operators representing nearly 50 franchise systems were recognized September 14 – 15 during the IFA’s Tenth Annual Public Affairs Conference in Washington DC for the contributions they have made to the development of franchising. Attendees met with members of Congress and Administration officials about issues important to franchising, business and continued economic growth.

According to a recent study conducted for the IFA by PricewaterhouseCoopers on the economic impact of franchising, there are more than 900,000 franchised businesses in operation across the country.
