Iraq war veteran Stephen Young, certainly doesn't think he's rolling the franchise dice<\/strong>. He just invested in a 7-Eleven franchise<\/strong>. The location; Lakeland, Florida.<\/p>\n

Young saved 10% <\/strong>off the franchise fee because of 7-Eleven's Military Discount program<\/strong> that was started by 7-Eleven<\/strong><\/a> president and CEO Joe DePinto, who is himself a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and served as an officer in the U.S. Army.<\/p>\n

Young is a war veteran who served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps<\/strong>. Outside of the military, his only work experience was at a grocery store while growing up in Fernandina Beach. He returned to that type of work after the Marines to help support his wife and child, as well as a second one on the way.<\/p>\n

The entire franchise community wishes you the best of luck, Stephen!<\/strong><\/p>\n
