Diana TrondsenFranchise Consultant in the Greater Houston area, including Conroe, The Woodlands, Spring, Cypress, Tomball, Spring Branch, Katy, Fulshear, Sugar Land, Pearland, Friendswood, Clear Lake, Sienna Plantation, Galveston, and the city of Corpus Christi
I’m a Franchise Consultant and Owner of FranNet of Houston & The Gulf Coast Region, with more than 25 years of franchise industry experience. Since 2009, I’ve helped professionals explore franchise ownership and identify opportunities aligned with their goals, skills, financial objectives, and long-term vision.
My experience spans nearly every side of franchising – from working in my family’s multi-unit franchise business to managing operations, becoming a franchise owner myself, and ultimately building my career helping others navigate business ownership.
I take a personalized, strategic approach to every client relationship. My role is to listen, educate, ask difficult questions, and help clients make informed decisions about franchise ownership and which opportunity is right for them.

My Journey
Franchising has been part of my life since my parents invested in their first franchise when I was 11. By 14, I was working in our family’s multi-unit business, learning firsthand what it takes to operate and grow a franchise. I later managed a location while attending Texas A&M and eventually became a franchise owner myself.
I joined FranNet in 2009 to use my experience to help others navigate the path to business ownership – and build a better future for themselves and their families.
Why work with Diana
I’ve Sat in the Owner’s Seat
I’ve worked in, managed, and owned franchise businesses myself. That firsthand experience gives me a practical perspective on what franchise ownership really requires.
I Listen Before I Recommend
Every client is different. I take time to understand your goals, skills, finances, and lifestyle before identifying franchise opportunities that may fit.
I’ll Ask the Difficult Questions
My job isn’t to sell you a franchise. I’ll challenge your thinking when necessary and help you determine whether an opportunity is truly right for you.
I’m Here Beyond the Decision
My relationship with clients doesn’t end when an agreement is signed. I remain a resource and sounding board as they move forward in business ownership.
