MBE Magazine Staff

Event for entrepreneurs and investors looking to capitalize on franchise opportunities to be held April 24th at the Dallas Entrepreneur Center

A groundbreaking event for entrepreneurs and investors looking to capitalize on franchise opportunities and learn from some of the legendary voices in the business is taking place 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., April 24th at the Dallas Entrepreneur Center 3560 W Camp Wisdom Rd, STE 200, Dallas, TX 75237.

“Pathways to Franchising in the DFW Metroplex,” sponsored by the International Franchise Association (IFA), will feature an expert panel of Tim Williams, Chief Franchise Officer of Williams Chicken and Calvin Golden, one of the creators of Wingstop franchise system.

“The franchise model offers one of the most reliable paths to business growth, but scaling beyond your first location requires specific knowledge and resources,” said Carlos White, organizer of the event and who serves as the Franchise Impact Ambassador for the City of Dallas. “This symposium provides the blueprint to confidently scale to five units and beyond by connecting attendees with the right strategies, funding sources, and industry relationships.”

IFA is the world’s largest member-based organization for franchising. David Smith, director, Diversity Programs is excited to host this major event in the city of Dallas and to continue to facilitate franchise opportunities in DFW.  

The three-hour evening event features a carefully curated program including:

  • Expert-led panel discussions with franchise professionals
  • Sessions on funding strategies specific to franchise expansion
  • Brand showcases from franchises growing in the DFW Metroplex
  • Networking with franchise executives, investors, and business professionals

The event is valuable for current franchisees looking to expand, business owners considering the franchise model, and investors seeking franchise opportunities.

“The DFW Metroplex continues to be one of the nation’s hottest markets for franchise development,” White, an award-winning transactional attorney and business integrator specializing in helping startups and emerging enterprises implement effective growth strategies. “As the Franchise Impact Ambassador for the City of Dallas, I’ve witnessed firsthand how our region provides exceptional opportunities for franchise growth.”

White is an Ivy League law graduate and former partner at three major U.S. law firms. He has been leading Mayor Eric Johnson’s initiative to showcase Dallas as a global leader in franchising and business scaling.

In addition to the IFA, PreXsentials LLC, Williams Chicken, and the DeSoto Development Corporation are major supporters of the event.
