1851: How did you fall into franchising?
Internicola: I was drawn in at an early stage in my career when a successful retail client was in search of expansion strategies that would work for their brand. Franchising represented a natural progression and turned out to be their best decision ever.
1851: What do you love most about franchising?

Internicola: They are "brand builders" intent on doing great things for their customers and their franchise partners.
