“With my diverse franchise background, I know what tools, strategies, and business tactics are needed to make a franchise company that’s built to last,” said Levy. “Throughout my career, I’ve watched several of today’s top franchise players grow from small chains to giants in their respective industries and have had the honor to be part of Unity Rd.’s growth from its early days to a roster of 20 partners building the brand across the U.S.”

Levy added, “Cannabis is a 25-plus billion dollar a year industry that’s still in its infancy, and it’s opportunities like YoungConference, where we can share the stage with other franchise executives and teach developing franchise professionals about the flourishing cannabis industry, that will help normalize franchising’s hottest sector.”
