FranNet of Missouri, Central and Southern Illinois, and East Iowa - Weldon Spring, Missouri

Jim Bundren

I wanted to take a minute to review FranNet of St. Louis AND Chris Coleman.

I lost my job in Corporate America last February and got connected with Chris and FranNet pretty quickly afterward. Chris was great to work with every step of the way and I can't say enough about my experience with him. At the same time, I don't want to overlook the FranNet process and experience. FranNet is very prescriptive in their approach to connecting entrepreneurs, or those who many not understand everything it takes to be an entrepreneur, with the right franchise to fit their needs. I was in the second group!

From day 1 of my experience, Chris helped me understand the FranNet process and guide me based on information I shared and things I showed interest in. He was there to help coach me, advise me and listen to all the things I thought I wanted to do---or didn't want to do. Basically, Chris became my adviser and confidant. His experience in the industry, along with the FranNet approach and philosophy guided me over the last year + that we worked together.

My whirlwind year ended up eventually taking me back to my roots in the retail sector so I didn't end up purchasing a franchise, but without any doubt, the last year opened my eyes to so many opportunities in the franchise world. Without Chris and the structure of the franchise process, I would have never had such an opportunity. If, or when, the time comes that I gain that entrepreneurial spirit at some point in the future, the first number I will call is FranNet St. Louis---and Chris Coleman, of course.

I would highly recommend FranNet and Chris Coleman of St. Louis as your Franchise Consultant. Deciding to become a business owner can be overwhelming and Chris and the FranNet organizations really help you manage through the process. Chris was truly an excellent consultant; listening, giving suggestions, connecting you with other professionals as you do your due diligence, available for questions, and quick to respond. At no time did I feel pressured to enter franchise ownership. Instead I was given the tools and advise to discover on my own what was best for me and take the time necessary to make my decision. It allowed me the opportunity to investigate, if not ready now, for possible plans in franchising I may have never considered.
Thank you, Chris, for a great experience!

Chris Coleman of FranNet was greatly instrumental in identifying a business franchise for us. He was very professional, honest, helpful, and caring in guiding us find what we were looking for. He helped us know what it is we truly want for a business and did diligent research to match us with a franchise that helps us achieve our goals. In addition, Chris connected us with resources that helped enable us move forward with our business. He conscientiously helped us arrive at informed decisions through sharing his perspective on matters that are relatively new to us. If you are looking for, or considering a business franchise, I would highly recommend reaching out to Chris Coleman.

I have been on both sides of FranNet of St. Louis. 10 years ago the Franchisor from a Franchise I owned used FranNet of St. Louis to promote our brand. Potential owners were screened and met all the requirements. FranNet of St. Louis always had interesting engaging programs to match up potential buyers with the right Franchise. Fast forward 10 more years and I was looking for a different business and turned to Chris Coleman with FranNet of St. Louis to see what was out there. Over the next 12 months I looked at several concepts and landed on one that Chris Coleman connected me with. I am very excited for this opportunity that I would not have otherwise found. Chris Coleman was always there along the way to help with questions. Very responsive and professional. I could always count on and honest answer. I would most certainly recommend anyone who is looking at buying a business go through the FranNet of St. Louis process and work with Chris Coleman. You wont be disappointed.

I met Chris Coleman at a seminar earlier this year at the St Louis County Library to learn more about franchising. We connected following the event and together we began taking steps to identify our interests in becoming a franchisee.

There are so many concepts available. Chris did a fantastic job of guiding us through the process of developing our goals in order to narrow the wide array of opportunities. Frannet of St. Louis has great tools to aid in this process. He is very knowledgeable.

We explored several concepts and did our due diligence with guidance from Chris. Just last week we signed a franchise agreement to open multiple sites in the pet space around the St. Louis area.

If you are considering a franchise for whatever reason you have identified, Chris is a great trusted advisor that will help you navigate your way through identifying the right opportunity for you. He puts your interests first.

Absolutely a wonderful experience! If you are looking for a business or franchise, Chris Coleman and the rest of the staff at FranNet is your best option for finding the right opportunity. Chris was and continues to be a huge help with finding the right business for my wife and I to purchase. Chris spent a lot of time with me to be sure we found the business that satisfied all the things we wanted in a business. I highly recommend FranNet, and particularly Chris, to anyone that is looking for the “Right” business for them.

Chris is great to work with. He is very resourceful and a genuinely honest person. He tires to match the objectives of the business owner to the franchise opportunity. I am new to the franchise investors and he guided me all through the process. He has a very well established system/process which helps the business owners to help and guide to make the right decision. Overall it has been a great experience working with him and I look forward to keep working with him in the future.

I've worked with Chris several times over the past few years and found him to be honest, direct, and forthright. I believe the process that FranNet follows provided a great basis for focusing my efforts on exploring franchise opportunities that matched up with my resources, skills, and interests. Chris also was a great help after I invested in a specific franchise opportunity. Thanks Chris!
