The organization comprising Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times and Marine Corps Times focused on financial incentives, brand performance and policies that cater to veterans and reservists when conducting and scoring the Best for Vets: Franchises survey, a highly respected, nearly 110-question analysis of a franchise’s efforts to provide veterans an environment for success.

“As with all of the Best for Vets rankings, Best for Vets: Franchises is an editorially independent news project that evaluates the many factors that make an organization a good fit for military veterans and spouses,” said Amanda Miller, editor of Military Times EDGE magazine.

The full rankings can be found online at: www.militarytimes.com/bestforvets-franchises2014-15

The rankings are published in full in the September issue of Military Times EDGE magazine, the premier publication for military transition, and online at MilitaryTimes.com, as well as ArmyTimes.com, NavyTimes.com, AirForceTimes.com and MarineCorpsTimes.com.

The top 10 franchises are compared in the issues of Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times and Marine Corps Times on newsstands the week of Sept. 8.
