Sharon Mettra became the first woman to own a Big O Tire franchise in Northern California. The year was 1999. Her children gave her a hard time because she didn’t even know how to change a tire; but fellow franchisees and the men she worked with did not give her grief. Instead, she found they were supportive and helpful in growing her business.
In the past several years, Sharon Mettra, a franchise development professional, has helped several emerging franchise concepts grow and is currently working with Press Waffle Co.
Listen in as Sharon Mettra joins Rebecca Monet and Tracy Kawa on this episode of The Franchise Woman podcast: Where Passion & Purpose Collide.
