Art Coley’s journey into franchising began at just 15 years old when he opened a hamburger stand in his hometown of Temple, TX. That early experience didn’t just teach him how to run a business; it sparked a lifelong passion for entrepreneurship and the power of small business ownership to transform lives.
Over the following decades, Art would rise to become one of the most trusted and innovative leaders in the franchise industry. His career has been defined by a single, clear mission: to make business ownership more accessible and successful for aspiring entrepreneurs around the world.

By the early 2000s, Art had already played key roles in driving system-wide growth for Top 200 franchise brands. But it was in 2015 that he made perhaps his most significant contribution to the industry: founding CGI Franchise and developing the Recruitment Operating System® (ROS®). This groundbreaking system was born from a critical insight — that many franchises had great products and solid foundations, but were stalled by an inefficient, unstructured approach to development and recruitment.
ROS® changed the game. With its proven, repeatable processes, franchise brands now had a roadmap for scalable, sustainable growth — attracting the right candidates, onboarding them effectively, and supporting them toward long-term success. Art is a teacher, coach, and champion for franchise brands who are ready to grow with integrity, discipline, and results. His deep knowledge of recruitment, development, and onboarding has made him a go-to expert for brands across industries and continents.
