Drew Chalfant

Drew Chalfant is an experienced franchise professional and joins FranDevCo as its Chief Operating Officer. Drew’s background in franchising spans multiple competencies including development, sales, operations, and legal. Drew started his career in franchising as in-house legal counsel for a tier-one franchise sales organization where he oversaw legal ops, compliance, and risk management for its portfolio of clients and equity brands. In less than three years Drew ascended to the role of General Counsel and helped navigate the sale of the company and its primary equity brand to what is now a publicly-traded franchisor platform company. Drew then co-founded a boutique franchise law firm which became an Entrepreneur Magazine “Top Franchise Supplier” in less than 2 years by bringing over 100 franchisors to market as their legal counsel. Drew has stepped out of the practice of franchise law and into the Chief Operating Officer role with a goal to build upon FranDevCo’s mission as a first-in-class franchise development firm that is synonymous with smart, strategic franchise growth for its portfolio of brands.
