ALBUQUERQUE, NM, June 15, 2011 (Press-News.org) Get A Grip, Inc., a family-owned, national franchise company with headquarters in Albuquerque, is pleased to announce that it has debuted on the Military Friendly Franchises 2011 List. The list, released by G.I. Jobs Magazine, represents the nation's franchises doing the most to recruit military veterans.

"We've always given a discount to potential franchisees who are active or retired military. In fact, 5 of our franchises or dealerships are military owned.

"It's our way of rewarding the entrepreneurial spirit of men and women who have served our country, sacrificing themselves for our safety. So it's an honor to be recognized among the top companies in the United States for our efforts."

The Military Friendly Franchises rankings are determined through exhaustive research by the G.I. Jobs Military Friendly Franchise team. The research includes a comprehensive survey of more than 4,000 franchises. An advisory board consisting of three franchise industry experts helps determine survey questions and weightings.

Get A Grip franchises offer a home-based opportunity with low start up costs and franchise fee.
