Dream Vacations unveiled its 12th annual “Operation Vetrepreneur: Become Your Own General” contest, which will award three military veterans a free Dream Vacations franchise valued at $12,300.
The company will also waive the initial startup fees and monthly administrative service fees for the first year.
Since the contest’s inception, Dreams Vacations has awarded 58 franchises to veterans at a value of $700,000.
The contest began on May 29 and ends on Sept. 4. Winners will be notified in October.
“After completing Dream Vacations’ New Franchisee Training, the winners will be armed with all the tools and knowledge they need to begin their next journey as small business owners creating dream vacations,” Dream Vacations said.
“Supporting our nation’s veterans is an ongoing commitment that we hold dear. At Dream Vacations, we strive to go above and beyond in assisting our military heroes and their families in every way possible,” said Drew Daly, senior vice president and general manager of Dream Vacations.
Through our annual ‘Operation Vetrepreneur contest, we’re thrilled to make it easier for veterans to pursue their dreams of owning a business, achieving prosperity, and securing success for their families – no matter where they may be.”
Last year’s winner, Kingwood, Texas-based Army veteran Crystal Ureta had this to say: “Dream Vacations is a company that gives back to the military community and offers many incentive programs to assist veterans in transitioning back to civilian life. Dream Vacations is my dream come true and I get to live it every day.”
To enter the contest, participants must complete an online entry form and an introductory phone interview with a Franchise Development Manager. Candidates will be required to submit a candidate profile, business plan and video. For more information, call 888-249-8235.
