Welcome to the Great Western Franchisee Association, an Association of Burger King® Franchisees

GWFA MISSION STATEMENT

The Great Western Franchisee Association (GWFA) is an association of Burger King ® Franchisees. We are an association of peers who value each and every Member’s thoughts and concerns.  The GWFA exists to add value to its Members. We encourage the sharing of ideas and best practices, and provide a forum for discussion and action on issues important to our business…the profitable operation of Burger King® Restaurants.

Our membership consists of approximately 80 Franchisee Entities.

Our members operate 639 Burger King Restaurants located in Alaska, Northern California, Idaho, Montana, Northern Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Western Wyoming.

We meet three times a year at various resorts and hotels in Northern California and in the Oregon/Washington area. Occasionally, we have meetings outside these areas like Alaska, Las Vegas, and other great venues.

Our meetings are structured so vendors are included in almost all aspects of the meeting. We generally have between 60 to 70 Franchisees and Managing Directors attend a typical meeting. Mandatory interaction with vendors at the trade shows is part of our program.

The meetings always consist of a variety of social and business functions including trade shows, cocktail parties, sometimes golf tournaments and other group events.

These meetings offer an unique opportunity for our attending vendors to have quality “face to face time” with the leading decision makers for 639 +/- Burger King® restaurants.

Continued, solid vendor support and participation over the years has been the key to our success. We look forward to seeing your company represented at one of our upcoming meetings.
