Specific Minority Program(s) in Place: The APA is an organization dedicated to providing recreational billiards to all segments of society. As a result, we want our franchise network to reflect the broad diversity that has helped to make the United States the "land of opportunity" and the "economic wonder of the free world." Any and all qualified applicants are welcome. We expect only that our franchisee's be motivated, have integrity and, most importantly, have the desire to set their own financial limits.
