“Franchising and Universal Business Principles I Learned along the Way”
Join us for a luncheon and presentation by Gale Cohen-Demarco, a 37-year veteran of corporate America turned franchisee. Gale will relate her journey from corporate America to the owner of a several SportClips locations, a profitable national franchising business. She will examine what is franchising, how she became a franchisee, principles she learned for growing her business, and her future plans for success. The principles Gale will discuss are relevant to most businesses – not just franchising!
Gale Cohen-Demarco spent her career prior to franchising for SportClips as an employee in the pharmaceutical industry. Gale held positions in sales and sales management for several pharma companies. She currently owns 5 SportClips locations with her husband, Peter. Gale is active in 5 Chambers of Commerce with 2 more coming online as she adds more stores to her portfolio. Her SportClips location in Palatine was awarded 2014 New Business of the Year for the Palatine Chamber, and Gale earned Director of the Year for the Lake Zurich Area Chamber of Commerce in 2015.
