January 19, 2024 // Franchising.com // TAMPA, FL - In January, Co-Founder and Visionary Nick Friedman was chosen as a feature speaker for the 2024 US Chamber of Commerce’s State of American Business event. While on the panel, Friedman spoke to the brand’s core values and how franchising is a catalyst in achieving the American dream.

Among College HUNKS’ core tenets is the importance of investing in leaders and encouraging employee development. “We didn’t want to just be a business, we wanted to be a platform,” said Nick Friedman. “One of our core values as a company is building leaders - we want you to leave our organization better as an individual, as a leader, as a professional and have a set of values that you can carry throughout the rest of your life.”

Joining Friedman on the panel was John Bates, franchise owner of the Annapolis, MD HUNKS location. Having scaled the ranks from hourly team member to location ownership, Friedman credits Bates’ journey as the pinnacle of what the company stands for. “John epitomizes the American dream - he saw an opportunity in our brand to pursue his dream,” Friedman continues.
