Merry Maids, Runza makers, and
members of one UNL organization have
something in common their interest
in franchising.
John Schwery, Franchise Club pres
ident, said members learn about fran
chising as a special way of doing busi
ness. Most franchises are growing busi
nesses, Schwery said.
Less than 4 percent of new fran
chises fail in the first year compared
with 30 percent failure for other small
businesses, he said.

Studies Program. Schwery said UNL
was the first major university to recog
nize franchising as a form of study.
"It's neat that Nebraska is getting
on the ball with this booming move
ment," he said.
The Franchise Club was formed last
year to pick up where the class leaves
off, Schwery said. Members meet twice
a month to talk to executives and law
yers in franchises. Leaders from God
father's Pizza, Merry Maids, the Inter
national Franchise Association and the
Department of Commerce will speak at
upcoming meetings. Schwery said video
tapes of the speakers will be sent to
other colleges.

working
Franchise Club members also will be
able to apply for jobs at local fran
chises. Last year, the club helped four
UNL students get internships. Three of
those students were offered full-time
jobs. Interns worked as management
trainees or in the corporate offices of
Taco John's, Runza Drive Inn and Merry
Maids.
Schwery said the group also visits
local franchises. He said members want
to tour Kentucky Fried Chicken this
year.
Because franchising combines mar
keting, finance and other business
skills, the club attracts people with
many interests, he said.
Learning Center is sponsoring these
awards.
