Central Florida Franchise Owners Association Trade Show

The Central Florida Franchise Owners Association (CFLFOA) Trade Show is the annual one-day tabletop trade show staged by the CFLFOA, the association of 7-Eleven franchise owners formed by Orlando franchisees in 2009 and now representing well over 200 members across Orlando, Tampa, Bradenton, Clearwater, Daytona, Palm Bay, St. Petersburg and Sarasota. The show puts convenience-store vendors face to face with hundreds of 7-Eleven store owners in a single afternoon.
