Rhea Lana’s Franchise Systems, Inc. celebrates women business owners and their contributions to the national economy during National Small Business Week.

Conway, AR (PRWEB) April 30, 2012 - The 48th annual National Small Business Week is May 16-20, and traditionally it is a time to recognize the contributions that small businesses have made to the national economy. During this time, Rhea Lana’s Franchise Systems, Inc. wants to acknowledge the accomplishments of women in entrepreneurship. Women business owners have helped increase economic growth, improve productivity, and increase the employment rate. According to the Center of Women’s Business Research, there are in the US, “10.1 million firms owned by women, and generate $1.1 trillion in sales.”

Rhea Lana Riner, founder and CEO of Rhea Lana’s Franchise Systems, Inc., is not surprised by these statistics saying, “The sluggish economy has forced many women back into the workplace. Small businesses like Rhea Lana’s enable women entrepreneurs to be able to have a much more pleasant work/life balance. Women can have the flexibility of being able to set their own hours, while also experiencing the financial success from a proven business model.”

Rhea Lana’s offers semiannual children’s consignment events across the country. One aspect that makes the company unique is how it seeks to serve communities by providing a venue for families to buy and sell their high-quality children’s items. Because the proven business model focuses on families helping families, Rhea Lana’s gained a recent endorsement by financial guru Dave Ramsey. Dave Ramsey is the president and founder of Financial Peace University, and he also hosts television and radio programs that aim to help businesses, churches and families reduce their debt. Rhea Lana’s has also recently been featured in several business magazines, including the NWA Small Business Journal.
