E108: Shannon Wilburn: From Struggles To Success - The Journey Of Co-Founding Just Between Friends.

Shannon Wilburn and Ron Skelton discussed how she started Just Between Friends, a consignment sale business. She began it in 1997 when her son was just 2 years old. Just Between Friends is a franchise system with over 150 locations that generated almost $42 million in system-wide sales in 2022. Franchising has helped Wilburn share the model and give people the opportunity to become business owners and bring the model to their communities. Wilburn is a big proponent of franchising.
