what’snew! LIFESTYLE PLANS ANNOUNCES GLOBAL EXPANSION
LOCAL OWNERS BACK ERINA’S FUTURE AS NEW BATTERY WORLD FRANCHISE PARTNER Erina locals Deana and Kent Carr announced they have taken over as new owners of Battery World at 202 The Entrance Road following an extensive evaluation by the couple into the potential of the franchise to create jobs and adequately service the area. The purchase of an existing store during the height of the pandemic was not a deterrent and both said they were excited to become more involved in the local community. Kent has previous franchise experience, having been a part of the Jim’s Group for four years, and is excited to take on a completely different business on the central coast. “I’ve worked in the franchise industry for four years, so I know a thing or two about culture and brand quality. I’ve heard only good things about Battery World and after considerable research and discussions about our options, we love the Battery World approach due to its brand culture and high quality of products and services offered,” he said. Kent said they wanted to get more involved in the community by supporting local sport.
The Lifesize Plans Group have announced plans to expand their franchise business model across the world. Lifesize Plans, the revolutionary company that brings building plans to life, is on a growth trajectory on an international scale. The Australianborn tech start-up recently opened the doors to its brand-new state of the art location in Auburn, Sydney and is expected to launch flagship sites in countries like the United States, UK, Europe, Canada and South Africa. The group has commercialised the world’s first-ever patented full-scale home walkthrough technology, which is revolutionising the design and construction industries, helping architects, interior designers, builders and the real estate industry. James Hickey, CEO of Lifesize Plans explains that, “Lifesize Plans is ready to expand into new markets and we believe that - with the help and vision of our investors and partners - that our quality franchise business offer will attract huge potential and will succeed around the globe.”
“Even through all the uncertainty it’s exciting to see our local stores backed by local owners,” Mr Kennedy said.
The Lifesize Plans franchise opportunity is an exclusive chance for business-minded individuals or teams to join the future of design and experience developing a world-class business model that’s been tried and tested by experts in their field. The group has identified key areas for growth and are looking for the right people to take their first-class walkthrough technology to new heights. Franchise owners will take the guesswork out for thousands of design projects, by providing a collaboration space with exceptional customer service to a growing list of empowered clients around the world.
