Kendra Zimmerman

Kendra is an entrepreneur and franchise professional with experience spanning franchise ownership, consulting, business sales, and franchise operations. She began her journey in franchising as an owner herself, opening and operating a boutique fitness franchise in Phoenix, Arizona, before successfully selling the business. After experiencing the franchise journey firsthand, Kendra went on to advise business owners across the country on growth, operations, valuations, acquisitions, and exit strategy. Most recently, she worked in franchise operations, supporting owners as they opened, grew, and optimized their businesses. Having sat on multiple sides of the table—as a franchisee, business owner, advisor, and franchisor—Kendra brings a practical and personal perspective to helping others navigate business ownership. She believes finding the right opportunity is about much more than the numbers; it’s about finding the right fit for the life someone wants to build. Kendra lives in Dallas with her husband and two sons. Outside of work, she loves reading, traveling, and spending weekends on the sidelines of her boys’ lacrosse games.
