On this episode of “Minding Your Business,” NJBIA President and CEO Michele Siekerka visited McDonald’s owner Celest Quintana in Jersey City and discusses the challenges of running several “penny-profit” businesses, and the rewards of giving back to the communities her restaurants serve.  

Also, on this edition, Jeff Hanscom, Vice President of State & Local Government Relations for the International Franchise Association, talks with host Bob Considine about the opportunities for becoming a franchisee and the need for New Jersey to have more of them before the World Cup arrives in 2026.
