Soupman, Inc. has announced the signing of its first franchisee through its Franchise Veteran Program.

Daniel Gilyeat purchased the rights to operate a Soupmobile truck in Kansas City, Kan.

Gilyeat served two tours in Iraq and was wounded on July 3, 2005 in an IED attack. His story was featured on Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

"After visiting with The Original Soupman team earlier this year in New York City, I immediately felt the passion the organization had for assisting veterans such as myself, and knew that it was the perfect franchise for me and my wife, Ana, to bring to Kansas City," said Sergeant Daniel Gilyeat in a company press relese. 

"The Soupmobile trucks have a low cost of entry, food that sells itself and provides access to the full Original Soupman support team. I look forward to owning my own Soupmobile, as well as continuing to empower and inspire other veterans by employing them to help run the business."
