# Season 2, Episode 58: Tommy's Tackles The F- Word ... Franchising

Admin | May 26, 2021

In this episode, we talk to Ryan Essenburg, President and Chief Innovation Officer of Tommy's and Andrew VanWylen Vice President of Engineering and Operations. We get some insight into the path Tommy's is taking from a franchise perspective, and why they think it's the right path forward for them.

We hear some of the origin story of this well-known industry name, and get a little peak into the future for this company focused on continuous innovation, and an operator-first mentality.
