PAVEing the Way for Veterans to Own Businesses
WACO, Texas (March 26, 2008) – To thank transitioning military personnel and current veterans for their service Glass Doctor® and The Dwyer Group, Inc., have initiated a new program to assist them in building their own businesses.
The Program for Assisting Veteran Entrepreneurship (PAVE) offers veterans and their families an opportunity to put the practical management skills they developed in the military to use in civilian life. PAVE is open to all veterans who have been honorably discharged by a DD214 or similar documentation. The program offers veterans:
• A 25% discount on the purchase of an initial base franchise territory for Glass Doctor® or one of the other five franchise companies in The Dwyer Group: Aire Serv Heating and Air Conditioning®, Mr. Appliance®, Mr. Electric®, Mr. Rooter®, and Rainbow International Restoration and Cleaning®.
• Individual support from a director of military franchise development to guide the first phase of the franchising process.
• Partial company financing for qualified individuals.
• Future franchise resale opportunities.
• Additional discounts with preferred vendors to help reduce daily operating costs.
After the First Gulf War in 1994, Don Dwyer, Sr., started the International Franchise
Association (IFA) VetFran program to offer veterans discounts on franchise territory purchases. PAVE builds on VetFran by adding individual coaching through the purchase process, which can be challenging to navigate alone.
“We are excited to build on the program my father created because we see the potential in our military personnel returning from Iraq, Afghanistan, and other parts of the world where they have served unselfishly,” said Dina Dwyer-Owens, Chairwoman of The Dwyer Group.
“We are looking for people who want to take charge of their own destiny, want to be in business for themselves, and want to capitalize on their military experience. They have worked so hard to protect the American dream, now we want the help them live the American dream.”
Last year more than 20 veterans started their own businesses through the VetFran program at The Dwyer Group, and the company expects to exceed that number this year.
For more information about PAVE contact Director of Military Development Chris Loudermilk at 1-800-396-6151 or chris.loudermilk@dwyergroup.com. Learn more about The Dwyer Group at www.leadingtheserviceindustry.com.

Glass Doctor® Announces Partnership to Fix Door Panes
WACO, Texas (March 5, 2008) – Glass Doctor®, Western Reflections and PPG AutoGlass are teaming up to offer customers high-quality replacement residential door glass service.
Glass Doctor President Mark Dawson announced the partnership during the company’s annual franchisee conference held Jan. 27-30, 2008, in Nashville, Tenn.
Glass Doctor franchisees now can order Western Reflections door glass insert products and parts from PPG AutoGlass, which will ship the orders through its established auto glass distribution network.
“We appreciate the willingness of Western Reflections and PPG AutoGlass to step out of the box to help us deliver a superior product and service to our customers,” Dawson said. “There is a great opportunity for decorative door window glass as homeowners look for ways to improve the value of their homes in a tight housing market. With this new partnership homeowners will be able to upgrade their doors in a matter of days, not weeks.”
Homeowners can preview new door windows through the Glass Doctor Web site at
www.glassdoctor.com/Glass_Doors.htm. Some of the popular door glass inserts include double-pane windows with sliding blinds between the panes, decorative glass with matching side window panes, all-weather glass that meets or exceeds Dade Co., Fla., regulations, and energy-efficient glass.
“We are glad to partner with Glass Doctor because few consumers know who to turn to for door glass repair and replacement,” said John Pettis, sales director for Western Reflections.
“Most consumers try to put a custom-cut pane in an old frame. Glass Doctor can meet their customers’ needs quickly and efficiently with high quality and professionalism on a nationwide basis.”
