IFA:

The International Franchise Association said that new data in the 2007 Economic Census Franchise Report released today by the U.S. Census Bureau will provide new information to help determine the economic impact of franchising. The Census report was released by Tom Mesenbourg, deputy director of the U.S. Census Bureau, during IFA’s 11th Annual Public Affairs Conference being held here.

“Determining the economic impact of franchising is a key strategic priority for IFA in our efforts to showcase the importance of franchising to the U.S. economy,” said Ken Walker, IFA chairman and chairman and CEO of Driven Brands. “This 2007 Economic Census Franchise Report will provide valuable data for the IFA’s third edition of the Economic Impact of Franchised Businesses, conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers and scheduled for release during the IFA convention in February 2011.”
