Franchise ownership isn’t just for the same old players anymore. We're committed to shattering the status quo and giving minority owners the tools they need to succeed.
We’re proud to lead the charge in diversifying franchise ownership, ensuring that everyone has a seat at the table and the chance to leave their mark.
It's not about talking the talk; we’re walking the walk by actively supporting minority entrepreneurs to build thriving franchises.

After more than two decades in the retail industry, Pathway President Eli Bookman saw the stark reality of discrimination—how women and minorities were too often held back from the opportunities they deserved.
When he founded Pathway, he committed to more than just talking about change; he set out to drive it. Eli actively encourages diverse hiring within the franchises he supports, pushing for leadership roles to reflect true diversity.
Pathway's mission is clear: empower women and minorities to not just own businesses, but to build generational legacies and claim their rightful place in the franchise world.
