Let me start by saying Anna is amazing!! I am a first time business owner here in California and had originally tried acquiring a Vitamin Shoppe.

I felt defeated, and felt that franchising was not for me due to my failure, but through great suffering comes strength, wisdom, and amazing people like Anna! Anna helped me get back on the horse. Please note she is not a therapist in any way, so please don't come to her with personal issues..lol, but that is the type of person she is. If you work with her she will take the time to get to know you and will take the time to understand what you want in a franchise. Anna has a knack for connecting you with the right business.
