West Coast Franchise Expo Boasts Job Opportunities, Hot Concepts in 2011.
(Los Angeles, CA) - The economic recovery is inching along but
franchising continues to grow steadily. The 2011
Franchise Business Economic Outlook*, estimates that the number of
franchise establishments will grow 2.5 percent in 2011 and the number of direct jobs is projected to grow 2.5 percent from an estimated 7,614,000 to 7,808,000, creating 194,000 new jobs.
Big brands are targeting the West for expansion—creating countless career opportunities on a national level. The
West Coast Franchise Expo (WCFE), hosted by Paramus, N.J.-based MFV Expositions, is the
largest franchise event on the West Coast and will take place Nov. 4-6, 2011 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The
WCFE is the prime place to explore viable business investments and speak with top level executives about turning your career around—even in recessionary times.
“There will be automotive aftermarket brands such as Meineke Car Care Centers, privately held staffing firm Express Employment Professionals, elder care companies like Age Advantage, and restaurants like McAlister’s Deli representing a smattering of all the hottest concepts out there. Attendees can visit a range of exhibitors that suit their career backgrounds, interests and lifestyles. Not to mention, attendees can speak with top executives at big brands and take advantage of free informational seminars, as well as participate in great giveaways,” MFV Expositions President Tom Portesy said.
The estimated increase in franchised jobs and establishments this year bodes well for investors looking to
start a business for themselves. Even those without deep pockets can take advantage of the discounts offered by many of this year’s exhibitors.
Attending a
franchise trade show exposition is a great place to view and compare a variety of
franchise possibilities that best suit your background and interests. In addition to hundreds of exhibitors, there will be more than 30 information-packed seminars and symposia available—and most of the sessions are free. To register to attend the
