In honor of Veterans Day, Kwicksilver Wheel Repair announces it was named a 2011 Military Friendly Franchise^® by G.I. Jobs Magazine.

Kwicksilver honors military veterans all year round by offering service members a discount of 20% off the franchise fee, allowing veterans to use their training and operational skills in a new civilian career. Royalties are also waived for the first 6 months.

“The Military Friendly Franchises^® list was created three years ago out of demand from military veterans, many of whom want to start or own their own business but are unclear where to begin,” said Sean Collins, director for G.I. Jobs.  “Being selected as a Military Friendly Franchise places Kwicksilver in this elite group, and is testimony to Kwicksilver’s world class programs and policies that support military veterans interested franchise opportunities”.

Kwicksilver Systems is now offering wheel repair franchises throughout the United States and master franchises abroad. Kwicksilver® services include repair and reconditioning of all steel, aluminum and chrome rims, custom wheel painting, chrome exchanges, wheel polishing and tire/wheel sales. The company has patented its wheel straightener and repair methods.
