3 The Sam & Louie s Story From vacuums to restaurants, I love to scale businesses and watch owner s succeed Tired of the corporate drama and micro-management in the infamous Ivory Tower, I decided after 17 years in the direct sales business to own a business of my own. The American Dream right? What was the most important thing to me though was my family and what kind of role could they play. This is where my daughter, Melissa comes into the picture. After college, she had decided too that corporate America wasn t for her and her best times were spent working at a local pizza restaurant. She came to me one day and said How about pizza? Everyone loves pizza! This is where I came in with a Brilliant, let s do it! So, in April of 1994, we opened our first location, which is still operating successfully today. So Who are Sam & Louie anyway? One day I was driving down the road and finally it hit me, Sam & Louie s. Great name, great people so it was perfect! My father s name was Sam and my wife s father s name was Louie. Sounds like a couple of NY mobsters right? Keeping in line with the family operated business that we set out to create, we chose a name with real family meaning. Family and key employees is what we started with and continue to believe in. My son Michael and daughter Melissa are very involved with growing the business in many different facets.the restaurant was a quick success and something my family and I became very passionate about. This passion spread and we were suddenly being asked for the concept to be franchised. Since I have a passion for helping other s succeed we sat down at our first office (a six-top table in the dining room of the pizzeria). By 2001, we were officially a franchise. We have welcomed many different owners and communities into our family and have been overwhelmed by their support to continued success. Through this process, we grew to find our customer s really were responding to all of our Italian food and we re-branded in 2016 as Sam & Louie s Italian Restaurant. We have found that smaller communities really need that nice restaurant that has choices in food, great customer service and an awesome atmosphere. That is exactly what we look for in franchisees...passion for offering their community something unique and involvement locally. We currently have family restaurants throughout the states of Nebraska,Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Wisconsin and Montana. We look forward to talking with you about growing with our family of franchisee s. Greg Nolan, Founder

4 Company Culture It s important for us to pick the right partners for our family of owners. When your partners believe in your concept and in you, then they usually pick up on the attitude and strategy of success within the organization. It starts with a great fit of an owner, but trickles all the way down to selecting the right managers to help select the right team members to have on the team. Attitude of positivity, high energy and a big heart for their community. We care about every person in our family of partners from the owners to the dishwashers and want them to feel that they are supported and cared about. We provide a Franchisee Liaison who is available by phone or at all times as well as visits our restaurants quarterly, or when requested to help with any issues from staffing to marketing, the assistance is there for them. Our goal is to preserve our culture by helping develop each relationship with our owners and managers with our continual visits and support. We believe our culture is not learned thru training manuals and policies, but rather taking care of the people behind the outstanding customer service experience. We feel that when a guest comes to one of our restaurants, they will be blown away with great service, supreme food choices and a great environment. Why will they be blown away? Because everyone in our large family of owners and employees are treated with respect and have fun when they are at work knowing that each one of them is important to the success of the dining experience. A happy employee ensures a happy customer experience!

8 3 Reasons Why Military Make Great Franchise Owners Strong Leadership Skills Military veterans are used to operating in an extremely structured and teamoriented environment. They know how to give orders and delegate. Whether the franchise business requires managing a team of two or 200, veterans know how to lead, stay organized, and function under pressure. Adept at Following Systems Good franchisors lay out the steps for success in advance. The most successful franchisees are those that follow the guidelines set by the franchisor and that utilize all of the resources and support available to them. Veterans are skilled at taking orders and getting things done their lives oftentimes depend on it. Dedication and Perseverance Any business owner will tell you that no matter what type of product or service you sell, running a business is never easy. A commitment to the brand and a passion for success can make a huge difference in the overall prosperity of the franchise business. For veterans, hard work and commitment are a part of the job description. You d be hard pressed to find a person more dedicated than a veteran who has sacrificed for his or her country. Determination, dedication, and performance are ingrained in their work ethic.

13 What Does it Take Strong Community Ties Reliability Leadership Skills Good Judgment Desire to Improve Your Community Restaurant Experience is NOT Required Previous Business Ownership and/or Sales Experience is a HUGE Plus Reliability Are you reliable and work conscientious? Good franchisees tend to be reliable and solid individuals who are careful but not necessarily risk adverse. Leadership Skills Do you have some business skills? Franchisors tend to look for franchisees that have developed certain life and business skills. Dealing with people, leading a team, communicating with others will count in your favor as you will be the boss of your own business. Good Judgement Every business carries a risk, some more than others. But with franchising, the franchisor will do what they can to help eliminate possible threats and guide you on your way to franchise success. However, as a successful franchisee you must have good judgment to assess whether or not something is considered worthy of a risk or not. Good Communicator Before making any decisions about entering into a franchise opportunity, franchisees should make sure they talk everything over with their family and loved ones. After the franchise is agreed upon and supported by all involved, the franchisee must maintain effective communication links between family and franchise; franchisee and franchisor; franchisee and suppliers, staff, customers etc. Excellent communication skills are a necessary element of a successful franchise operation. Financial Awareness Have you got the necessary finances to set up a franchise? A good franchisee will have the necessary start up and investment finance set up prior to any franchise agreement. Good at Networking Are you good with people? All businesses have customers. We are fortunate to offer great food, service and atmosphere to your community. You and your staff will be the voice of your business. It is important to be at community events to promote your business.
