# Think Like a Franchise. Run a Better Business. ##### **Featuring Tim Cotten** *You don't have to own a franchise to learn how to run your business like one.* What do successful franchises know about running a business that independent business owners can learn from? Successful franchises don't grow by accident. Behind their success are systems, processes, and operating principles designed to create consistency, develop strong teams, and support long-term growth. But those principles aren't exclusive to franchises. Join us at The Offices for our final **Third Thursday Speaker Series** event of 2026, featuring **Tim Cotten**, an experienced business operator, franchise entrepreneur, and business coach. We'll explore how independent business owners can apply lessons from the franchise model to create repeatable systems, improve efficiency, strengthen operations, develop their teams, and build more profitable, sustainable businesses. Tim brings firsthand experience in business ownership, franchising, and managing multimillion-dollar operations, along with a practical understanding of the challenges business owners face every day. Whether you're running an established company, managing a growing team, or just getting started, this conversation will challenge you to take a closer look at how your business operates and where it could be better. ### Event Details **Thursday, November 19, 2026** **5:30–7:30 PM \| Featured presentation begins at 6:15 PM** **Location:** The Tavern at The Offices, 31 N. Federal Street, Downtown Harrisonburg, VA **Free to Attend \| RSVP Required** ### One Last Conversation for 2026! We're closing out our 2026 Third Thursday Speaker Series with an evening dedicated to practical insight, meaningful connections, and better business. We'll take a short break in December before returning in January 2027 with a featured speaker from Brown Edwards. **Come ready to learn, ask questions, and leave with ideas you can put to work.**]]>
