It allows the operators/franchisees to put in the work on the ground to give real-time feedback on the positives and negatives from our Guests. The Guests that come into our locations are our number one priority. Ensuring that we provide a life-changing experience at all iCRYO Centers will always be a core focus. We've chosen a handful of the most impactful franchisees to sit on the Committee and help us to gather information from the field and keep positively pushing iCRYO."

He continued with, "Being both a franchisee and an investor in a new franchise is extremely exciting.  I have the opportunity to watch the business mature and grow.  As the President of the Franchisee Advisory Council, I find myself in a unique position to help steer that growth by bridging the gap between the Franchisor's vision and the day-to-day reality of the Franchisee's interacting directly with our guests."
