FranNet

Gordon Dupries has been president of FranNet San Francisco since 1990. He provides FREE consultations to individuals, matching their goals for personal, professional and financial achievement with carefully selected national franchise companies. Gordon regularly facilitates business acquisition workshops sponsored by the Small Business Administration in San Francisco, Small Business Development Centers and various nationally recognized private outplacement firms.

After a successful career at Bechtel Corporation in San Francisco and having traveled to nearly 40 countries, Gordon opened his first franchise business in 1985. His desire to be self-employed was spurred by a personal desire to create a life of independence and reward determined by his own efforts. For this reason he can relate to his client’s needs for a safe, profitable business with a lifestyle they can be proud of. Gordon’s franchise grew to a multiple unit operation with rights covering two counties. He achieved numerous sales awards and chaired franchisee committees both locally and nationally. Today, Gordon assists his clients through group workshops, webinars and clients consultations. He presently holds ownership positions in retail, service, consulting and property management investments.
