Keep. The article may be lacking content, but this is a legitimate non-profit organization with numerous affiliations to other companies. They also promote education and scholarship pertaining to franchises. 24.0.133.234 (talk) 16:42, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:ORG. I've only found PR type coverage rather than indepth coverage to meet WP:ORG. LibStar (talk) 06:52, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
