NAME RECOGNITION:

Due in part to the national media attention we have received and media coverage for numerous franchises across the country, Just Between Friends continues to grow and expand across the US and Canada (now more than 135 franchises)!  We are honored to have had national media coverage by all of the major networks:

SUPPORT TO HELP YOU GROW:

JBF offers support to our franchisees in a two-fold process:

  • One-on-One support through our Ambassador (mentoring) program
  • Collective support through our ongoing SMART groups.

Both of these support programs allow our franchisees to move past initial growth stages quickly with less assumed risk than those trying to grow their sales on their own or with limited pr no Franchisor support.
