Chris Willey

Franchise operations executive with 20+ years of experience in both brand leadership and multi-brand franchise ownership. I specialize in scaling franchise organizations, strengthening unit-level economics, and driving industry-leading AUV. I foster people-first cultures grounded in clear strategic vision, operational discipline, structured performance management, and leadership development. I empower team members to adopt an ownership mindset, make decisions, and grow in the process. Having worked on both sides of the franchise model, I bring a practical perspective and a deep commitment to helping franchise owners succeed and strengthening the brand.
