Stonecrest Chamber of Commerce Presents

Stonecrest Business Franchise Event

A deal-focused business event bringing franchise brands, entrepreneurs, commercial real estate professionals, lenders, and economic development partners together in one room.

Event Overview

Not just networking. A room built for deals.

The Stonecrest Business Franchise Event is designed to bring franchise brands, entrepreneurs, commercial real estate professionals, lenders, financiers, and economic development partners together in one place.

This is not just a networking event. It is a deal-focused business opportunity created to help franchise brands find qualified operators, help entrepreneurs explore ownership, connect available commercial spaces with growing brands, and give financing partners a direct opportunity to meet potential business owners.

Stonecrest and South DeKalb are growing markets with strong potential for franchise development, commercial leasing, job creation, and business expansion. This event is intended to help create a direct bridge between opportunity, ownership, funding, and available property.
