October 29, 2007 // Franchising.com // LAKE CITY, FL: Ellianos Coffee Company has donated twenty bags of coffee to support the American Hometown Fundraiser event supporting local wounded Veterans.

The American Hometown Fundraiser event consisted of a silent auction, live music, and other activities, and was hosted by an all-volunteer, non-profit organization put together to raise funds for Veterans who were wounded in the War on Terror.

"Giving back to our soldiers and our communities is part of the Service+1 philosophy," Says Mick Rynning. "It's our way of saying thank you to the heroes who are making America and our communities safe for everyone."

In addition to donating to local Veteran's charities, Ellianos Coffee Company created the HeroFran franchising program, designed to give dramatic incentives to any Hero who commits their life to the safety of their fellow Americans. The HeroFran Program encourages and incentivizes military veterans, police officers, and firefighters, who have served for four or more years, to own their own businesses.

Ellianos' incentives include a 50% reduction of franchise fees for one Ellianos Coffee Drive-thru, or no franchise fees for the first Ellianos if the Hero desires to open three or more Ellianos coffee shops.
