In Memoriam: Ron Bender, Taken From Us, Entirely Too Soon!

Ron Bender was one of the most affable, caring, sharing professionals in all of franchising.  We lost him this weekend and he will be sorely missed.  I interviewed Ron on Dec. 6, 2023, while he was still at Threshold Brands I re-listened to that episode yesterday, after learning of his death.  While most of the conversation was centered around Threshold, all I could really hear was the warm, affable voice of my friend Ron.   In his memory, I share that interview again today.  This time, minus the usual Franchise Today Intro, Outro and commercials.  The franchise world wil forever miss you Ron.  Rest in Peace my friend.
