A Growing Enterprise Since formation in 1996, CFS has been expanding in a steady process—by acquisition of existing MilliCare franchises or by start up. Their pattern has been to study information about growth history and predictions concerning certain geographic areas, and then consider purchasing a franchise that is for sale or establishing a new one. CFS operates nine franchises across the U.S.—in Charlotte, Baltimore/Washington, D.C./ Northern Virginia; Raleigh, N.C.; Greenville, S..C; Charleston, S.C.; Miami; San Francisco; and Los Angeles. The Crippens are quick to point out that their expansion could not have been accomplished without the partnership of Bank of America, who has acted as the financial engine for their growth and expansion. Not surprisingly, ➤ the bank is also a customer.
