Although we do not have any specific programs in place, as a new franchisee our main concern is the attraction of truly qualified candidates, regardless of race. We are currently working closely with several minorities who fit the exact profile we look for. For the time being we will continue our general advertising, but give aggressive attention to whomever qualifies.
