Strategic Community Impact Builds Franchise Value
What this means for prospective franchise partners: when a brand aligns business growth with purpose, it strengthens customer loyalty, boosts community affinity and creates a franchise model that’s about more than just profit. For Donatos, each store — company-owned or franchised — supports local food banks, children’s hospitals and regional health initiatives, and the ripple-effect reinforces both the brand’s values and its long-term sustainability.
