In honor of National Veterans Small Business Week this week, we want to recognize one of our veteran small business owners, Reginald Foster. When U.S. Army Major Reginald Foster began planning his retirement, he used the same level of detail he had employed in the military. After determining the Tropical Smoothie Café franchise was the best path for him, he connected with us to obtain a loan. He’s since opened more locations and has been recognized for his top-selling stores. Read more about his story: https://lnkd.in/eurXDWSk
