Generation Y vs Baby Boomers

Provender franchisees of any age and life situation are generally looking for flexibility in their lifestyle. Generation Y franchisees possess the drive and passion, but their biggest challenge is securing finance. Baby Boomers on the other hand are generally more financially comfortable. Retirement is looming, but Baby Boomers are looking for a change of lifestyle or career; but they are generally not risk takers, so the idea of a franchise system that can provide support and guidance is appealing. Baby Boomers are late adopters of technology, so systems need to be simple and easy to understand. Baby Boomers have worked hard to provide for their families, they are now looking to enjoy time with their family and travel; a flexible lifestyle and work/life balance is important.
