I recently worked with Chris on evaluating franchise opportunities and had a great experience. He was knowledgeable and direct about the pros and cons of owning a franchise. There was no fluff or sales pressure; just clear, honest communication about the process. While I ended up deciding it was not the right time for me to start a franchise, if my circumstances change in the future I would reach back out to Chris for assistance.

My wife and I are grateful to Chris for helping us to find a franchise business that meets our goals and resonates with us. Chris took the time up front to get to know us and suggested several good opportunities. During the several weeks of discovery, we met with him weekly, and he was instrumental in helping us figure out what we wanted to do. Chris did not steer us in any way, but listened closely and offered insights and thoughtful questions for us to consider.

I worked with Chris at Franchise Navigator in 2025 to choose a franchise business venture. We went through a thorough vetting process and he found 4 franchises which met my criteria. Throughout the process, Chris helped me ask the right questions of each franchisor and answer my concerns as a first time franchisee. I ended up investing in one of the franchises and opened in 2026. Chris will work with you to find the right fit.

I had a great experience working with Chris Whipple as a franchise consultant. Chris brings a strong combination of industry knowledge, honesty, and a genuine desire to help you find the right fit—not just any opportunity. What stood out most was his ability to really listen and understand my goals, financial considerations, and risk tolerance. Instead of pushing a specific brand, he presented multiple options, clearly explaining the pros, cons, and long-term potential of each. His guidance made a complex process feel structured and manageable. Chris was also very responsive and patient throughout—always willing to answer questions, connect me with existing franchise owners, and walk through financials in detail. That level of transparency built a lot of trust. If you're exploring franchise ownership and want someone who is knowledgeable, professional, and truly on your side, I highly recommend working with Chris Whipple.
