Franchisee Jeff Rowland is using his restaurants to uplift his community in Visalia, CA and beyond. He recently teamed up with The Creative Center, a nonprofit that empowers artists with developmental disabilities, to showcase their work inside his restaurant—and celebrate with a ribbon cutting, bounce back coupons, and a meet-the-artist event. Each artist had the chance to talk about their work, sign pieces, and grow their small business. The exhibit will rotate every two months and soon expand to Jeff’s other locations in Hanford and Clovis. Thank you, Jeff and team, for creating space for creativity, dignity, and connection. #Dennys #FranchiseeSpotlight #CommunityCollaboration #TheCreativeCenter
