<div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">Fifteen years ago you would have been hard pressed to find anyone in their late 20s or early 30s in the franchise industry. For the most part, franchising was reserved for baby boomers that had years of experience in the corporate world. But that narrative is starting to change as more millennials are entering the world of franchising.</span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">The public has been fed the stereotype that millennials are self-absorbed and generally apathetic. It&#8217;s a categorization that frustrates many of this generation, but things are different. Millennials are no longer looked upon as careless employees, but instead have become successful entrepreneurs in their own right. <a href="http://bestinclassfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-millennials-are-joining-franchising-3751" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Best in Class</a> CEO and Chairman Hao Lam said millennials gravitate towards franchising because the industry appeals to their core values.</span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">&#8220;There are a lot of franchising concepts, including <a href="http://bestinclass.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-millennials-are-joining-franchising-3751" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Best in Class</a>, that fit millennials core values of making a difference and being in an a position that matters,&#8221; Lam explained. &#8220;Millennials see franchising as a viable industry because of its accessibility, affordability and the opportunity to make a difference with their business.&#8221;</span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">Lam elaborated that there are new franchising concepts popping up everyday. He said millennials want to make an impact and be apart of something new. </span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">You&#8217;re more likely to see a millennial entrepreneur these days go into business for themselves, rather then sit in a cubicle all day. <a href="http://mosquitojoefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-millennials-are-joining-franchising-3751" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mosquito Joe</a> Director of Franchise Development Jodi Ramoino  said franchising appeals to millennials because they know they can enter into a business where they can be their own boss and invest in their future. </span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">&#8220;Most millennials grew up in environments where choices were always an option, "no" was rarely the answer, and if something wasn't fun they didn't have to do it,&#8221; Ramoino said.  &#8220;That kind of freedom makes millennials perfect for franchising because this industry allows them to take control of their future and often times gives them the freedom to build something from the ground up, yet with the safety net of the franchisor behind them.&#8221;</span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">Despite the media-fed stereotypes that millennials are self absorbed, avoid hard work and gravitate towards a non-conventional approach to business, it&#8217;s clearly evident that franchising has provided this generation with a new path forward towards independent business ownership. And it&#8217;s time that franchisors stood up and paid attention to this demographic because according to the U.S Census Bureau, millennials now number more than 83 million and represent more than one quarter of the nation&#8217;s population. Whether we like or not, the United States is getting younger and franchising remains an important part of millennials&#8217; future.</span></div><div style="  font-style: normal; normal;  normal;"></div>
