Jake WeyandFranNet Franchise Consultant · serving clients nationwide

My path to franchise consulting is rooted in ownership and front-line sales experience, not theory. I spent nearly five years in franchise development at Driven Brands, one of the largest automotive franchise platforms, working across Take 5 Oil Change, Meineke, and Maaco. I guided prospective owners through the entire discovery and investment process, from initial inquiry to signed agreement, so I understand how franchisors think and how deals get done. I also own a stake in a Splash and Dash Groomerie & Boutique, which gives me an operator's perspective. I hold an MBA and bring a data-driven approach. This work is about helping someone make one of the most important decisions of their life with clarity and confidence.
