MAC Company History

2009: It's quite a surprise to us that in this tough economy we are growing again.  Our expansion into more focus on Marketing Services will lead the way in the years ahead. 

2005: Back in consulting again at a reduced pace with a stint associating with other consultants on joint projects.  We have also become an integral part of Sophie's Cuban Cuisine and its growth into franchising.

2002: The Franchise Real Estate was sold and the company downsized during the post - 911 recession with Jim rebuilding a medium sized company for a client on a thirty month contract.  We filled out the schedule with several consulting assignments and guest lectures.

1994: A subsidiary, The Franchise Real Estate Institute, was added with consulting, training, and seminars in the areas of Market Planning, Site Selection, Encroachment Impact, and Development Department management.

1993: After a long and successful corporate career, Jim started McKenna Associates to provide training and consulting services to franchised companies.
