FranchiseWire has a Rich History
FranchiseWire’s roots have been firmly planted since 2001. Back then, FranchiseWire was simply a platform for posting franchise news press releases. But now it’s so much more… Recognizing huge potential, IFPG founder Don Daszkowski acquired FranchiseWire in 2020. With a deep understanding of digital media and a vision to help franchise brands gain exposure through content marketing, Daszkowski relaunched FranchiseWire with an intention to change the way franchise news and information is delivered.
FranchiseWire has quickly become franchising’s leading news source. By creating unbiased, quality content, we have gained the respect of the industry and created a huge following of readers who keep coming back for more of our in-depth reporting, breaking news, expert advice and colorful storytelling. Not only does our content engage and inform, but it’s everywhere. With a rapidly-growing fan base, we consistently rank high in the search engines and are regularly featured on Google News.
