Specific Minority Program(s) in Place: While AUNTIE ANNE'S, Inc. has been fortunate to receive numerous calls for franchise opportunities,we recently became involve with The Connections Program in Chicago. The program's goal is to increase minority business owners in the inner-city of Chicago. It serves as surrogate bringing potential minority franchisees together with franchises and lending institutions. Currently, we are in negotiations with our first possible store owner from the program.
