Branford is selling their Intellectual Property concerning running the business. If you're setting your sights a little lower in the career spectrum....I saw that Performance is pledging to build another 100-200 stores in the next couple of years. They will need a lot of store managers, sales managers, operations managers, etc.
Something to consider if you're willing to relocate. (keep in mind their relo package is probably not too great).
