Who am I?

My name is Connor Groce, and franchising changed my life.

  • Bought into my first franchise when I was 20
  • Quickly scaled up to multi-brand, multi-unit ownership
  • Now I'm helping others discover if franchising is right for them

I rely on word of mouth, so I'd rather tell you to walk away than buy a business that's wrong for you.

Get my franchise breakdowns, tactics, and everything else right here.
