Franchise Business And Small Business News Roundup: May

Here’s what’s happening news-wise, in the world of franchising and small business for May. Feel free to pass these stories around!

The biggest news, and it’s close to my heart because it affects our military veterans, has to do with Amazon.com.

A college student from Northwest Nazarene University just won a Cherry Berry Self-Serve Yogurt Bar franchise business. His business plan was judged the best out of the 3 that were presented as part of this contest.
