Government data show a substantial jump in the number of black-owned businesses from 2007 to 2012, from 1.9 million to 2.6 million. Statistics also show that 30.8% of franchise businesses were owned by minorities, while non-franchised businesses have nearly 19% minority ownership”.  “We can help build wealth throughout all communities by offering franchises to Women, Minorities and to our Nation’s Veterans we can tie Supplier Diversity to Economic Opportunity.  We also can measure the number of jobs created through the franchises while building generational wealth.  Mechanics will be trained to manage the Auto-Lab shops in hopes that they will be in succession and also open their own shops”.
