Jerry Flanagan, JDog’s president and an Army Veteran, opened the first JDog location with his wife, Tracy. They recognized the struggle many Veterans faced when acclimating back to civilian life and knew they had to do something to help the other Military families as this new stage of life begins. That’s when they committed themselves to create entrepreneurship opportunities exclusive for Veterans and their families—the JDog franchises. This Military background has created an unparalleled relationship with customers. Not only do they immediately recognize the work ethic and discipline, but they also feel good knowing they are helping employ Veterans and their families.
