A local veteran-owned business will grant free franchise to another veteran.
Wayne Borelli, a disabled Air Force veteran, and his wife, Samantha, are Arizona master franchisees of Husse, an international specialty pet food franchise.
The Borellis will be granting an Arizona veteran with a franchise unit for free.
Husse is a world-leading specialty pet food company founded in Sweden in 1987 and has been available in Arizona since 2015, according to a release.
In order to qualify, grant applications for the free Husse franchise will be accepted until Sept. 30. The franchise will be awarded at the Phoenix Veterans' Summit on Nov. 10.
A franchise license for a territory for about 50,000 residents (valued at $15,000) will be awarded to the veteran chosen, according to a release.
