The Lone Star

In a career spanning 33 years Lucy Whelan has been involved since "Ground Zero" with the Lone Star Group. She is a class act at the heart of a company that practices love, care and generosity better than any other hospitality group I know.

Easily the largest big format franchise in the country with 40 venues across the country we'll dive into how Lucy and her fellow founders took a passionate love of country music and evolved it into a hugely energetic family business that embraced extended family members and close friends to become a hospitality icon.

In growing a business from one site to forty, you will hear a lot of great war stories of the franchising game and very practical advice for anyone looking to franchise their existing businesses or grow their existing franchise.
