Specific Minority Program(s) in Place: Our Minority Ownership Initiative is available to anyone of a racial minority. We discount our initial farnchise fee by 10% and offer full financing on all additional units at an interest rate of 8%, as opposed to our regular 9 1/4% rate. Our industry employs many minority employees and we'd like that reflected in the make-up of our owners as well. We'd like to double minority ownership by mid-2000.
