Pearle Vision recognizes the unique skill sets that veterans bring to entrepreneurship, specifically franchising. Often naturally talented when it comes to following a proven system, working as part of a team and understanding how small tasks contribute to the overall big picture, veterans with entrepreneurial ambitions can make excellent franchisees.
For this reason, honorably discharged U.S. veterans may receive a 20% discount on Pearle Vision franchise fees. To enhance our efforts to maintain our position as one of the top franchises for veterans, we are also an active member of VetFran, the IFA’s veteran incentive program, which strengthens our commitment to the men and women who have served our country.
Gene Krupa, a licensed owner in St. Paul, Minnesota, is a great example of this. After serving in the military, he translated the leadership skills he developed as a sergeant to business savvy with Pearle Vision.
“I think that military service is great preparation,” says Krupa. “Similar to the way I took care of the people I was in charge of in the military, I also like to take care of my employees. I have a sense of organization, attention to detail, honor and integrity. Those are personal values of mine, and a lot of those I learned while I was in the military. They have greatly impacted the way I do business.”
