The International Franchise Association’s Franchise Opportunities Guide contains detailed information for more than 1,100 franchises — all members of the IFA. The guide includes everything you need to start the search for the right franchise for you.

How To Use This Guide

Introduction

The International Franchise Association presents this Guide to help individuals find franchise opportunities. The guide is a comprehensive resource that describes the many reasons franchising is an excellent way to be “in business for yourself but not by yourself.” It also helps you determine if franchising is right for you and the common mistakes people make when deciding to purchase a franchise.

While there are thousands of excellent and exciting franchise opportunities today, IFA strongly encourages you to investigate before investing. The information presented here can be used to help you in your search for the best franchise opportunity that meets your qualifications and personal goals. This information should not be interpreted as a recommendation to you of any specific business opportunity.

It is important to note that this guide only contains information about companies that are members of the IFA, all of whom have met the requirements of membership and subscribe to the association’s Code of Ethics, which is included in the guide. The

U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Small Business Administration advise prospective franchisees to check whether a franchisor is an IFA member.

We recommend that you follow these steps:

REVIEW THE INFORMATION IN THE ABOUT FRANCHISING AND ABOUT IFA SECTIONS.

About Franchising gives you a general introduction to franchising, what it is, how it works, why franchise businesses are so successful and the key questions one should ask when considering the purchase of a franchise.

Also provided here is information designed to aid you in the process. While this material is offered to assist you, keep in mind it is not possible to encompass all the questions or situations that arise in a sector of the economy as broad as franchising. After all, each franchise, like each individual, is different. About IFA includes information about the IFA and its programs.

CAREFULLY REVIEW THE FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITIES ORGANIZED BY INDUSTRY.

Select a few industry categories that best suit your interests. Franchise businesses may be found in more than 100 different industries today. This section is organized into industry categories, with companies listed alphabetically by industry category.

Along with each listing is information about the company’s history, number of units, the cash investment required and the contact person when available. Most franchise offerings feature training, written educational materials and varying degrees of ongoing support.

The Supplier Forum by Industry Category lists IFA’s Supplier Forum which includes attorneys, accountants, consultants, banks and financial services, and many other firms and individuals who specialize in the franchise field. IFA encourages all prospective franchisees to consult with a qualified franchise attorney and/or business advisor prior to signing any franchise agreement. n

What is a Franchise?

Franchising is simply a method for expanding a business and distributing goods and services through a licensing relationship. In franchising, franchisors (a person or company that grants the license to a third party for the conducting of a business under their marks) not only specify the products and services that will be offered by the franchisees (a person or company who is granted the license to do business under the trademark and trade name by the franchisor), but also provide them with brand and support. A brief separate glossary of franchising terms is available on IFA’s website at franchise.org/faq.

Business Format Franchising

There are two different types of franchising relationships. Business Format Franchising is the type most identifiable to the average person. In a business format franchise relationship the franchisor provides to the franchisee not just its trade name, products and services, but also training on how to implement the services. The franchisee generally receives site selection and development support, operating manuals, training, brand standards, quality control, a marketing strategy and business

advisory support from the franchisor. More than 120 diverse industries use franchising as their route to market including:

Traditional or Product Distribution

While less identified with franchising, traditional or product distribution franchising is actually larger in total sales than business format franchising. In a traditional franchise, the focus is not on the system of doing business, but mainly on the products manufactured or supplied by the franchisor to the franchisee. In most, but not in all situations, the manufactured products generally need pre- and post-sale service as found in the automobile industry. Examples of traditional or product distribution franchising can be found in the bottling, gasoline, automotive and other manufacturers.

Franchising is About Relationships

Many people, when they think of franchising, focus first on the law. While the law is certainly important, it is not the central thing to understand about franchising. At its core, franchising is about the franchisor’s brand value, how the franchisor supports its franchisees, how the franchisee meets its obligations to deliver the products and services to the system’s brand standards and most importantly – franchising is about the

relationship that the franchisor has with its franchisees. In a survey by Franchise Business Review on franchisees’ relationship with their franchisors it was determined:

• 90 percent enjoy operating their business,

88 percent of franchisees enjoy being part of their organization,

• 85 percent feel positive about their affiliation with their franchisor, 83 percent respect their franchisor,

• 80 percent feel their franchisor operates with a high level of honesty, 78 percent would recommend their franchise brand to others, and 73 percent would “Do it all over again” if they had the option.

Franchising is About Brands

A franchisor’s brand is its most valuable asset and consumers decide which business to shop at and how often to frequent that business based on what they know, or think they know, about the brand. To a certain extent consumers really don’t care who owns the business so long as their brand expectations are met. If you become a franchisee, you will certainly be developing a relationship with your customers to maintain their loyalty, and most certainly customers will choose to purchase from you because of the quality of your services and the personal relationship you establish with them. But first and foremost, they have trust in the brand to meet their expectations, and the franchisor and the other franchisees in the system rely upon you to meet those expectations.

Franchising is About Systems and Support

Great franchisors provide systems, tools and support so that their franchisees have the ability to live up to the system’s brand standards and ensure customer satisfaction. And, franchisors and all of the other franchisees expect that you will independently manage the day-to-day operation of your businesses so that you will enhance the reputation of the company in your market area. When selecting a franchise system to invest in, you want to evaluate the types of support you will be provided and how well

the franchisor is managing the evolution of the products and services so that it keeps up with changing consumer expectations. Some of the more common services that franchisors provide to franchisees include:

• A recognized brand name,

• Site selection and site development assistance, Training for you and your management team, Research and development of new products and services, Headquarters and field support, Initial and continuing marketing and advertising.

You want to select a franchisor that routinely and effectively enforces system standards. This is important to you as enforcement of brand standards by the franchisor is meant to protect franchisees from the possible bad acts of other franchisees that share the brand with them. Since customers see franchise systems as a branded chain of operations, great products and services delivered by one franchisee benefits the entire system. The opposite is also true.

Franchising is also a Contractual Relationship

While from the public’s vantage point, franchises look like any other chain of branded businesses, they are very different. In a franchise system, the owner of the brand does not manage and operate the locations that serve consumers their products and services on a day-to-day basis. Serving the consumer is the role and responsibility of the franchisee.

Franchising is a contractual relationship between a licensor (franchisor) and a licensee (franchisee) that allows the business owner to use the licensor’s brand and method of doing business to distribute products or services to consumers. While every franchise is a license, not every license is a franchise under the law. Sometimes that can be very confusing.

In the United States, a franchise is a specific type of licensing arrangement defined by the Federal Trade Commission and also by several states. In the United States a franchise generally exists when:

• The franchisor licenses a franchisee the right to use its trade or service mark;

• To identify the franchisee’s business in marketing a product or service using the franchisor’s operating methods;

• The franchisor provides the franchisee with support and exercises certain controls; and,

• The franchisee pays the franchisor a fee.

The definition of a franchise is not uniform in every state. Some states for example, may also include a marketing plan or community of interest provision in the definition. The definition of what is a franchise can vary significantly under the laws in some states and it is important that you don’t simply rely on the federal definition of a franchise in understanding any particular state’s requirements.

Put another way, in a franchise a business (the franchisor) licenses its trade name (the brand, such as BrightStar Care or Sport Clips) and its operating methods (its system of doing business) to a person or group operating within a specific territory or location (the franchisee), which agrees to operate its business according to the terms of a contract (the franchising agreement). The franchisor provides the franchisee with franchising leadership and support, and exercises some controls to ensure the franchisee’s adherence to brand guidelines.

In exchange, the franchisee usually pays the franchisor a one-time initial fee (the franchise fee) and a continuing fee (known as a royalty) for the use of the franchisor’s trade name and operating methods. The franchisee is responsible for the day-to-day management of its independently owned business and benefits or risks loss based on his own performance and capabilities.

Investing in a franchise or becoming a franchisor can be a great opportunity. But before you select any franchise investment and sign any franchise agreement, do your homework, understand what the franchise system is offering and get the support of a qualified franchise lawyer. n

The Entrepreneur’s of Empow

40 Years

In January of 1984 The Entrepreneur s Source (TES) embarked on a journey that would redefine the way individuals approached their dreams of financial freedom and independence As we celebrate our 40th year, we reflect on the remarkable journey of TES from its unconventional origins to its present-day status as trailblazer in Career Ownership Coaching® Throughout the ever-changing landscape of entr epreneurship, TES has been a guiding light and beacon of support for dreamers in the pursuit of self-sufficiency

Origins of TES:

In 1984, Terry Powell, visionary Founder of TES, initiated a revolutionary concept Working in a business brokerage firm Terry observed a significant gap in the way people were treated The prevailing model was focused on qualifying individuals based on their immediate readiness to invest leaving dreamers and seekers behind He found that 75% of the adult population has a burning desire to be self-sufficient (that is not the same as wanting to being self-employed or in business for themselves) but only about 5% were ready willing and able to act on that desire The other 70% were considered tire kickers and dreamers Terry, a dreamer himself, decided to break away from the conventional approach

A Shift in Approach

Terry s departure from the brokerage firm marked the beginning of a six-month exploration He engaged with individuals who were stamped as unqualified and took the time to understand their motivations Through this process he discovered that a substantial portion of the adult population aspired to be self-sufficient but hesitated to be self-employed This revelation laid the fou ndation for TES s unique approach-providing education awareness and discovery to those seeking information rather than immediately pushing them to purchase a business

The Franchising Leap

To meet the increasing demand, Terry faced a crucial decision – to franchise or not Despite his love for coaching clients directly Terry embraced franchising in 1998 ensuring that the unique methodology of TES could reach a broader audience While Terry was initially reluctant about franchising, time proved it was the right decision Today the brand fosters a community of over 200 TES coaches throughout North America

Evolution into Career Ownership Coaching®

In 1984 Terry established The Entrepreneur s Source® with a mission to fill the gap in the market He recognized that traditional business brokers were dismissing dreamers and TES became a safe space for individuals to explore possibilities without judgement Terry Powell says, We were the first company to focus our attention on the 95% of seekers (those with a nagging feeling that there must be a better way) These were individuals who weren’t ready willing and able to start a new business but were looking for the education awareness and discovery needed to explore what may be possible And this vision has remained unwavering since

The brand’s impact is not just felt in the lives of the individuals we coach but it is also recognized on a broader scale Entrepreneur Magazine has released their 2024 Franchise 500 list This year has been touted as their most competitive list ever With over 1 389 franchisors TES made an impressive rise in the rankings climbing almost one hundred spots over last year to claim a coveted spot in the top half of the list at #209

TES s ongoing positive franchise growth, coupled with being in the top 10% for both franchisee support and financial strength, and top 20% for brand strength, all contributed to TES’s standout performance in the ranking Marrissa Frois CEO at TES attributes this success to “being a client-centric organization constantly elevating what it means to empower those seeking self-sufficiency

TES’s Uniqueness and Differentiation in the Industry

As TES enters its 40th year it continues to redefine what it means to be a client-centric organization Marissa emphasizes the combination of the unique education-first coaching methodology and innovative technology infrastructure This will enable TES to assist more clients than ever before Our commitment to education accessibility expands in 2024 reaching underserved communities with tailored courses seminars live events and 1:1 coaching sessions ” In addition TES is also strengthening strategic partnerships, government alliances, and non-profit collaborations, reinforcing its position as a catalyst for change

The History of Modern Franchising

There have been three constants that fueled the growth of franchising: the desire to expand, the limitations on human and financial capital and the need to overcome great distances. And, while franchising is often thought of as a modernday invention, its origins can be traced to the expansion of the church and as an early method of central government control before the Middle Ages. Historically, the purpose of commercial franchising was to allow workers or journeymen to establish their own businesses supported by franchisors.

Franchising in England and Europe

Franchising was used in England and Europe, where the Crown owned land and granted rights to powerful individuals, including the church, to manage its property. In exchange for these land grants, the noblemen and church officials were required to protect the territory by establishing armies, and were free to set tolls and collect taxes, a portion of which was paid to the Crown. The nobles divided the land among the local farmers who paid a royalty for the right to use the land either as a portion of the crops they grew or the animals they hunted. This system of governmental control existed in England until being outlawed by the Council of Trent in 1562.

Much early exploration and trading was conducted through franchising. For example, the Dutch East India Company (1602) was founded as a franchisee of the Dutch Republic to conduct exploration and trade between the Cape of Good Hope and the Straits of Magellan. Expanding its operations, in 1641 the company engaged the services of Captain Henry Hudson to explore the New World and to find a northeast passage in the New World. Through this arrangement, the Dutch were able to claim the Hudson Valley in New York as far as Albany.

Another example is the grant by the King of England to the London Company in 1607, granting a charter for Virginia. Captain Christopher Newport, who was succeeded by Captain John Smith, brought settlers to Virginia and established Jamestown, the first permanent British settlement in the New World. Following the massacre of the 347 settlers by the Powhatan Indian Confederacy in 1622, the king, charging mismanagement by the London Company, withdrew its charter.

Commercial co-partnership/franchising relationships existed in England and Europe in the brewery industry. In exchange for financial assistance, tavern owners agreed to purchase all of their beer and ale from the sponsoring breweries. The brew-

eries did not exercise any controls over the day-to-day operation of the local tavern except for the sole purchase arrangement. This method of down-stream distribution is known today as traditional, product or trademark franchising.

Modern Day Franchising

In the United States, many histories about modern franchising have often cited Albert Singer and the Singer Sewing Machine Company as being the first commercial franchisor, dating franchising to 1851. However, in 1851, John “Albert” Singer was only seven or eight years old and the Singer Manufacturing Company never actually offered any franchises. The company grew through local offices independently managed by its employees.

Commercial franchising in the United States began in the Colonies, in Philadelphia, when on Sept. 13, 1731, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Whitmarsh entered into an agreement “for the carrying on of the Business of Printing in Charlestown in South Carolina.”

While the agreement is not identical to the modern-day franchise system, many of the most important elements we recognize in franchising today were included. The term of the agreement was for six years; Whitmarsh was required to manage the business

himself. He was responsible for the expenses of the business — all of the equipment and paper needed for the business were to be purchased from Franklin and Whitmarsh was responsible for maintaining the equipment. In addition, Whitmarsh agreed to an in-term covenant not to engage in any other printing business during the term, while Franklin was free to enter into additional relationships with others. Whitmarsh printed many of Franklin’s works including “Poor Richard’s Almanac;” and Franklin had the right to appoint a successor should Whitmarsh die or leave the business.

When Whitmarsh died in 1733, Franklin appointed Louis Timothé to operate the South Carolina printing business. Upon his death in 1739, Franklin appointed his wife Elizabeth, and then in 1747, her son Peter. It is interesting to note that Franklin’s third franchisee was a woman, giving Elizabeth Timothé the distinction of being the first female publisher in North America.

Following the establishment of the South Carolina print shop, Franklin went on to establish a series of similar relationships with James Parker (New York); Thomas Smith and Benjamin Mecom (Antigua); James Franklin Jr. and Ann Franklin (Newport, R.I.); William Dunlap, Samuel Holland and John Henry Miller (Lancaster, Pa.) and Thomas Fleet (Boston) who published the “Boston Evening Post.” In addition to those whose names have been identified, Franklin

The first modern day franchisor was likely Martha Matilda Harper, a CanadianAmerican who began to franchise the Harper Method Shops in 1891.

also entered into relationships for the operation of print shops in Dominica, Jamaica, North Carolina, Georgia, Canada and Great Britain. Part of Franklin’s support while he lived in France negotiating the French entrance into the U.S. war for independence, came from the income he earned from his franchise system.

While Franklin may have established the first commercial franchise network in North America, there are numerous references in

early American history to similar arrangements. Robert Fulton licensed his steamboats in the United States, England, Russia and India; the federal and local governments executed monopolistic licenses/franchises to build much of the nation’s electric and transportation infrastructure; and general stores at military outposts, the sale of livestock and other goods were built on a license/franchise arrangement that provided for exclusive territories and other rights.

The first modern day franchisor was likely Martha Matilda Harper, a Canadian-American who began to franchise the Harper Method Shops in 1891. Headquartered in Rochester, N.Y., she included in her hair care franchise many of the elements we have come to expect in a modern commercial franchise system including initial and continuing training, branded products, field visits, advertising, group insurance and motivation. Harper started her salon business in 1888 and grew the franchise system to more than 500 salons and training schools at its peak, with the last location closing in 2016.

Franchising Expands the United States

Franchising was instrumental in the expansion and further development of the United States. Around the turn of the 20th century, the United States entered into its Industrial Revolution and the growing mobility of Americans created opportunities for manufacturers, gasoline retailers, hospitality and restaurant franchises. The early commercial franchises were in the manufacturing, automotive and beverage industries.

Because of the Industrial Revolution, the mass production of consumer goods allowed companies to retail their products at a lower cost creating an explosion in consumer demand. This movement from an agrarian economy to a merchant economy required manufacturers to sell and distribute products efficiently and cost effectively over greater distances.

General Motors sold its first franchise in 1898 to William Metzger of Detroit. That was a considerable improvement over Henry Ford’s use of pharmacies to sell his automobiles.

As the automotive manufacturers solved their distribution challenges, the need to provide gasoline locally to fuel cars became critical. Lacking the capital required for purchasing real estate and establishing an adequate distribution system to meet the needs of the growing number of automobiles across the United States, the oil indus-

try began to establish franchised dealerships at the turn of the century.

Beverage companies such as CocaCola faced similar challenges as the high cost of transporting finished product in glass bottles kept the soft drink bottling a localized industry. By shipping syrup concentrate to its franchisees, and requiring the local franchisees to bottle under strict formulas and processes, soft drink manufacturers were able to control the quality of their product in distant markets, and expand rapidly. Coca-Cola issued its first franchise in 1901 to the Georgia Coca-Cola Bottling Company.

In 1902, Louis Liggett formed a manufacturing cooperative among 40 independent drug stores, each investing $4,000 to start the manufacturing cooperative of the Rexall Drug Store chain. Following the end of World War I, the cooperative began to offer franchises to independently owned retail outlets supplying them with branded Rexall products.

One of the greatest innovations in franchising came in 1909 with the establishment of the Western Auto franchise. Up to that time, product franchisors sought franchisees with industry experience and, except for the supply of branded product, did not provide any significant business-related services. While still relying on a product markup and not on a royalty, Western Auto provided its franchisees with many of the same services that modern franchisors provide today including site selection and development, retail training, merchandising, marketing assistance and other continuing services.

In 1919, Roy Allen purchased the formula for his root beer recipe from a pharmacist and, together with his partner, Frank Wright, began to make A&W Root Beer. After buying out Wright, Allen began to franchise the A&W concept in 1924 offering car-side service provided by “tray boys.” It was only later that A&W added women servers or “car hops” on roller skates to serve the customers. Early A&W franchisees were Sherman and J. Willard Marriot who later founded the Marriott hotel chain. The Ben Franklin general merchandise stores and White Castle restaurants also began to franchise in the 1920s. Hertz began franchising in 1925 and Avis followed in 1946.

During the 1930s, Howard Dear-

ing Johnson began selling three flavors of ice cream together with a limited menu of cooked items in his Howard Johnson restaurants and in 1935 awarded the first franchise to Reginald Sprague. By then, the company had evolved to selling 28 flavors of ice cream. Developing a distinctive roadside presence from orange-roofed locations, and featuring one of the first pylon signs with its name and logo, the company secured the first toll road contract on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

The innovation of the early franchise and restaurant pioneers influenced others. Many of the legendary chains that began franchised operations over the next three decades included Kentucky Fried Chicken (1930); Carvel (1934); Arthur Murray Dance Studio (1938); Dairy Queen (1940); Duraclean (1943); Dunkin Donuts (1950); Burger King (1954); McDonald’s (1955); and The International House of Pancakes (1958). The stories of these pioneering concepts have been the basis for many books over the years and the lessons learned are evident in the many food-service chains that followed.

Franchising boomed in the 1950s and 1960s with the expansion of branded goods and services chains.

franchising came in 1946 with the enactment of the federal Lanham (Trademark) Act. Under the act, property owners were able to safely enter into licenses with third parties — an essential requirement for franchising to expand.

Franchising boomed in the 1950s and 1960s with the expansion of branded goods and services chains. In 1965, McDonald’s began to sell stock publicly when it reached 1,000 locations. The stock opened its trade at $22.50, then closed at $30. At the end of its first month of stock sales, the value had reached $50 a share. During the same 10-year period, Nate Sherman’s Midas Muffler franchise had grown to 400 locations, Kemmons Wilson’s Holiday Inn grew to 1,000 locations and Jules Lederer’s Budget Rent A Car opened its 500th franchise. Some of the other brands that emerged during that period were automotive aftermarket: Midas Muffler and Lee Myles; hotels: Holiday Inn and Sheraton; ice cream and treats: Dairy Queen, Tastee Freeze and Orange Julius; convenience stores: 7-Eleven; trades: Roto-Rooter; professional services: Dunhill Personnel, Pearle Vision and H&R Block; laundry and dry cleaning: Martinizing Dry Cleaning. Subway, the largest franchisor in number of units did not start franchising until 1974, with the opening of its first location in Wallingford, Conn.

The rapid growth of franchising did not come without challenges and the International Franchise Association was founded in 1960 to begin to address some of the practices in franchising that were at the root cause of these issues. Today, the IFA represents more than 1,100 franchisors, 10,000 franchisees and more than 600 professionals and suppliers to the franchise industry.

While franchising continued to grow until the beginning of World War II, the truly explosive growth in franchising did not occur until the war was over. Franchising’s emergence in the post-war 1950s took advantage of pent-up consumer demand, an abundance of available franchisees with the returning veterans, and capital provided by separation pay and the GI Bill. However, the most important post-war event to benefit

The evolution of modern franchising, created by the innovative companies and the pioneers that led them, is an exciting story. The future of franchising, energized by still unimagined new concepts, new business techniques and international expansion, promises to add yet more dynamic chapters to the continuing and growing opportunities in franchising. n

Questions You Should Ask Yourself Before Becoming a Franchisee

Even before you start looking to become a franchisee you should ask yourself some questions. Investing in any business is a commitment and you need to be certain that it’s right for you before making any investment.

Do you want to manage and operate a business — regardless of whether it is an independent business or a franchise?

Do you always have to be right? Will you be able to follow the directions of the franchisor even when you think you know a better way? Are you prepared to accept coaching and advice from the franchisor on how you operate your location?

Do you have the need to experiment with your products and services? If you happen to like welldone hamburgers, will you be satisfied if the franchisor’s recipe requires them to be medium-rare? If the franchisor’s concept is restricted to customers coming to your location to make a purchase, do you have a burning desire to buy a truck and make deliveries to customer’s homes — even if that is not part of the franchisor’s concept?

Do you think of yourself as a great advertising genius? If the franchisor provides you with advertising material, are you going to want to change it all the time? Do you think that your market is different from everyone else’s and are you going to expect the franchisor to modify its brand message just to suit

Do you play well on a team? Other franchisees will rely upon you to offer to the consumer a consistent level of service, product quality and brand message. You are going to have to work with others in the system in making decisions. All of these decisions will have some impact on your business and you will often be required to follow the majority’s determinations, even when you personally do not agree. Will you be able to do this?

Franchisors are going to want you to share with them information about your business, and sometimes the information they request may seem very personal to you. They will want you to send them reports and even may require copies of your tax returns. Field staff will be making periodic visits to your locations, asking you questions and wanting to look at some of your records. Even when you understand that the reason they need the information is to help you operate your business better, are you prepared to provide them the information and listen to their advice?

If you can’t honestly see yourself happy with someone else setting the standards for your business and being responsible to meet their standards, then perhaps you should reconsider becoming a franchisee of a strong franchise system. You simply won’t be happy in the long run with your loss of control.

However, if after seriously pondering the questions above, you still think you would like to be a franchisee, here are some more questions to ask yourself.

7 Why do you want to be a franchisee?

How much income do you need to maintain your current standard of living?

9 How many hours a day are you comfortable working?

What skills can you bring to a business?

What types of businesses do you think you would like to operate? Is it retail, service, restaurants, etc.?

What types of businesses do you think you would not want to own — no matter how much money you can make?

How much cash do you have to invest in a business? How much money can you borrow if you needed to?

Is your family supportive of your becoming a franchisee? Do you have a network of supportive friends and colleagues to rely on when you need emotional support?

Do you have a network of professional advisors to help you evaluate a franchise opportunity? n

Scooping Up Growth: HANDEL,S

HOMEMADE ICE CREAM BROADENS FRANCHISING HORIZONS

Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream has been in the business of making and selling fresh ice cream, handmade in stores every day, since 1945. Founded in Youngstown, Ohio, the Handel’s legacy was created by Alice Handel and cultivated by Lenny Fisher, who grew the brand from a single scoop shop into a flourishing chain using fresh ingredients and upholding a commitment to quality.

Each batch of Handel’s ice cream is made fresh daily, using secret recipes, with ingredients, equipment, and methods that are exclusive to Handel’s. There are 48 flavors available daily.

The result is the legendary and high-quality ice cream that so many customers have fallen in love with, which has led to our growth from coast to coast and from generation to generation.

“At Handel’s, our guests can savor our premium flavors, which are made fresh every day in our stores, setting us apart from other ice cream shops that make products offsite in large manufacturing facilities, deep freeze, and ship to stores. The freshness and high-quality of our ice cream is noticeably different, and something guests can taste… and love! This tradition dates to our founder, Alice Handel, who handpicked berries from her backyard to create her ice cream,” said Jennifer Schuler, CEO of Handel’s. “With 140 flavors developed for nearly 80 years, we are committed to timeless and nostalgic flavors that are simple and universally loved.”

In today’s dynamic quick-serve market, one thing remains certain: consumers love indulgent snacks. Made with premium ingredients and a steadfast commitment to quality, our ice cream is the perfect indulgence at any time of the day.

“There really is something to that timeout moment. Our frenzied digital lives are faster than ever. So, I think people value slowing down and they like the highly visceral, simple experience of eating an ice cream cone and sharing it with your family,” Schuler said in an interview with Nation’s Restaurant News (read full

interview here: bit.ly/schulerinterview). “There’s something about the simplicity. You can’t hold your phone and eat an ice cream cone.”

For our franchisees, this is an unparalleled opportunity. As the snacking category continues to flourish, Handel’s is not only positioned to satisfy consumers’ cravings for a sweet escape but also to deliver strong returns on investment. With a nearly 80-year legacy and streamlined success, Handel’s offers a unique blend of tradition and innovation, providing a solid foundation for franchisees to build their businesses.

“Joining Handel’s means becoming part of a thriving franchise system with a proven track record of profitability,” said Erin Snyder, Vice President of Franchise

Development. “Our nearly 80-year history, combined with our robust support system and growth potential, offers a rare opportunity for individuals to capitalize on a brand that’s both established and still ripe with opportunities for expansion and success.”

We’re looking for franchisees who want to make delicious ice cream with proven recipes and procedures, maintain our commitment to the highest quality, provide an exceptional customer experience, engage actively in their communities, and pursue excellence and sustained growth in their business. Our minimum financial requirements are a net worth of $500,000 and unrestricted capital of $250,000. Previous food or franchise experience is a strong advantage.

Many target markets have been identified throughout the US. Our preferred locations are near dense retail trade areas with superior real estate position in comparison to competition. We offer a variety of model types, from walk-up to walk-in, with a typical parlor build-out between 1,600 to 2,200 square feet. Additionally, outdoor seating with a dedicated patio preferred.

At Handel’s, we support our franchisees in several key aspects of their business. We connect you with preferred lending partners for your financing needs, assist with site selection by connecting you to a local broker and support the design and construction process by providing consultation with your general contractor. Our comprehensive 10-day training program prepares you with the tools needed to run your parlor. We provide dedicated on-site operational and marketing support ahead of and during your store’s grand opening. Additionally, we offer ongoing support and share best practices and create tailored marketing collateral.

Our remarkable brand momentum has supported us in making QSR’s Top 50 Contenders list for 2024, fueled by our strong unit economics, impressive franchisee ROI, and on-trend consumer brand appeal. We are also experiencing significant same-store sales growth with just over 140 units, providing ample white space for future growth opportunities.

In 2023 and 2024, Handel’s ranked in Franchise Times’ Top 400 list, recognizing the largest franchise systems in the United States, and its “Fast & Serious,” a list of the smartest-growing franchises for the year. The brand is also recognized by TasteAtlas for one of the top 100 Most Iconic Ice Creams of the World.

Types of Frachise Investments

Franchising can be a wonderful way for you to become a business owner and while the most common relationship is still a single-unit (direct) franchise, there are several different types of franchise arrangements that may be available to you.

Single-Unit Franchises

A single-unit or direct-unit franchise exists when a franchisee invests in the right to operate one location or branded business. This is the oldest and simplest form of franchise relationship. It is possible for a franchisee to purchase additional single-unit franchises and when this occurs this is called a multiple, single-unit relationship.

Owning and operating one franchised location is the classic structure used in franchising.

Multi-Unit or Area Developers

Multi-unit developers are granted the right and the obligation to open and operate a set number of locations, during a fixed period of time and generally in a defined geographic territory. The multi-unit developer will sign an additional agreement called a development agreement giving the

developer the right and the obligation to complete a development schedule agreed to with the franchisor. Each franchise established by a multi-unit developer will have its own separate franchise agreement. In most multi-unit development agreements the developer will pay the franchisor a fee for the rights granted in the development agreement and that fee is often applied on a pro-rata basis to each franchise fee that comes due.

Master Franchising

A master franchise relationship can look very similar to a multi-unit development structure, but has one significant difference. Under a master franchise agreement, the master franchisee has the right and the obligation to offer and sell franchises to other people looking to become franchisees of the system.

The master franchisee will generally be required to own and operate at least one or

two locations themselves but may be allowed to sell those units to new franchisees at some point in time if they choose to do so. When a master franchisee signs the master franchise agreement, he generally pays a master franchise fee to the franchisor and then collect franchise fees from each franchisee recruited into its system. The royalty a master franchisee collects and the unit franchise fees it charges are typically shared with the franchisor and that percentage may vary. The master franchisee may also enter into multiunit development agreements.

Of all the types of franchising relationships, the master franchise relationship is the most complex because the franchisor and master franchisee generally have some shared responsibilities in support of the unit franchisees. In addition, each master franchisee will be required to prepare its own franchise disclosure document, and if the master franchisee is in a state that requires registration or filing, meet those requirements as well.

Area Representatives

An area representative relationship looks very much like a master franchise relationship with one major distinction. The area representative does not enter into any agreement with the unit franchisees. The unit franchisees sign a franchise agreement with the franchisor directly.

The area representative is in reality only a commissioned franchise salesperson and also the commissioned field support person for the franchisor in a geographic area. The area representative pays the franchisor a free to enter into the relationship and shares with the franchisor the franchise fee and royalties paid by the franchisees in its territory. The area representative provides the franchisees in its territory some opening and continuing support and like the master franchisee some of that support provided may be shared with the franchisor.

As with multi-unit and master franchise relationships, the area representative agrees to establish a specific minimum number of units, during a specified time period in a defined territory. The difference between a master franchise relationship and an area developer is that the master franchisee signs an agreement with his sub-franchisee while the area representative does not enter into

a contractual relationship with the franchisees they support. The area representative also does not need to create or register his own franchise disclosure document.

There are other franchise structures used in franchising.

1. A conversion franchise is a relationship established with an existing independent operator, in the same general business as the franchise system, who agrees to sign a franchise agreement and convert its business into a franchise.

2. Non-traditional locations are those generally found in mass gathering locations such as airports, train stations, hospitals, college campuses, sports stadiums, ballparks, food courts, portable kiosks in parks, etc. These are the types of locations where the customer traffic is generated by

the other activities in the host facility. Few people go to a baseball game just to buy a hot dog, but there are a lot of hot dogs sold during a ball game. Also included in this category are other types of host locations such as convenience stores and big-box retailers.

Another method of becoming a franchisee is buying an existing location from the franchisor or one of its franchisees that wants to exit the system. In addition to getting into business faster because you don’t have to find the location or work through constructing and equipping the business, there may be other advantages. You should discuss with the franchisor if there are any existing locations that are available for sale. n

FRANCHISING WITH ALTITUDE BY THE NUMBERS

Becoming Franchiseea

On balance, when you decide to invest in a franchise opportunity with a solid, well designed and managed franchisor, the advantages outweigh the negatives. It’s a great way for you to become a business owner. However, if it is essential for you to flex your entrepreneurial muscles and make all of the decisions on how your business should be operated, franchising may not be the right choice for you. Franchising is a system designed to deliver a consistent level of quality and service to consumers and the franchisor will be setting all of the brand standards.

In deciding to become a franchisee, understanding the advantages and disadvantages is important as your ability to succeed in franchising is directly linked to a great extent with the capabilities of the franchisor selected and the performance of the other franchisees that will be sharing the brand with you. While there are certainly significant benefits that may come with selecting a franchise from an emerging franchisor, the following advantages and disadvantages are based on mature franchise offerings.

Advantages for Franchisees

Brand Recognition and Acceptance

There is a certain level of quality and consistency that the public has come to expect from any branded business — including company-owned and franchised locations.

There is comfort and the perception of less risk when shopping for products and services in well-regarded chains. After all, under a branded system the public has come to expect that each location will look the same, have the same policies and procedures in place, have similar operating hours, pricing, products, services, menus and customer service. Regardless of whether that brand’s products and services are superior or mediocre, there is generally an audience willing to shop there because the products and services meet their unique needs and they can rely upon consistency from location to location, regardless of the market.

An Existing Customer Base

Don’t accept a “poll of one.” Just because you like or dislike a product or service is not important — it is what your customers like and dislike that is important.

Consumers who understand the level of quality and price they desire tend to shop at branded locations that satisfy this need. Because of this, new franchisees in wellestablished brands open their doors to an established customer base. This leveraging of the existing customers for the brand, frequently created by other franchisees in the system, enables franchises to compete with established local independent operators and against larger franchised and non-franchised competitors in the market. Being part of a well-regarded franchise system may also bring with it the advantage of system-wide accounts developed over time by the franchisor.

Helping You Get Started

Well-structured and managed franchise systems provide you with tested operating systems, site selection and development assistance, tested store designs, construction programs, reduced cost of equipment, operations manuals, marketing and advertising programs and the other necessary support required to successfully launch your business.

In addition, you get the support from your franchisor when you open and have a network of other franchisees that have been in your identical situation and who can also be of assistance.

Ongoing Benefits

The type and frequency of communications and the level of headquarters and field support provided are also measures of great franchisors.

While not every franchisor does a great job in ensuring that franchisees benefit from the purchasing power of the entire franchise system, most do. In those systems, obtaining inventory and supplies at a cost lower then your competitors can be a major benefit.

Professional marketing delivered in the right way and with the right message is important. By consolidating some of the franchisees’ advertising budgets into a collective brand fund, franchisors are able to develop professionally designed point-of-sale marketing material, advertising, grand-opening programs, and other marketing materials that independents could never afford.

Keeping any brand fresh is essential if you want to win against the competition. Great franchise systems are always analyzing consumer needs and developing new products and services to meet those needs. They are also smart and disciplined enough to eliminate those products and services that no longer have a sufficient following.

Having your brand “own” a market is a powerful advantage against the competition. By leveraging the combined spending power of the franchise system on advertising and then coupling that pent-up consumer demand with targeted strategic growth by adding new locations in a market, critical mass can be achieved because your brand is now conveniently accessible for customers.

With critical mass and a well-recognized brand also comes a much more attractive place where people want to work. Also, many local franchisees keep tabs on which of their fellow franchisees are looking for good employees and when the opportunities arise, they often share those applications and even share employees.

With the advent of the Affordable Care Act, managing labor costs through better scheduling tools and networking with other franchisees on labor issues is also becoming of significant importance.

Things to Consider

Loss of Independence

Franchising requires you to give up some freedom from making some basic decisions on how you want your business to operate. For example, you can’t simply add new products and services or even eliminate those you would prefer not to sell. Don’t expect to purchase your inventory from whomever you choose, even if that vendor has a special price this month. In most well-run systems, choosing the vendors is going to be done for you. The lack of independence for some people is the most challenging element of becoming a franchisee. Franchise systems are structured so that franchisors have the right to establish

the brand rules and you will be obligated to operate your business based on the franchisor’s brand standards. If the loss of freedom is something you will not be able to tolerate, don’t become a franchisee; you will never be happy no matter how much money you make.

Over-dependence

On the other side of the pendulum is the possibility of becoming over-dependent on the franchise system. While the franchisor specifies the methods of how you need to operate to meet brand standards, it is your sole responsibility to manage and operate your business on a day-to-day basis. No one is going to take that aspect from you.

When franchisees rely totally on the system for their success, their over-dependence causes other problems. For example, while a franchisor may have national or regional advertising, if franchisees do not invest in local marketing they will not bring targeted customers to their locations. Also, while the franchisor’s support team is available to help you make decisions, it is the franchisee’s job to run the business on a day-to-day basis and learning to manage the business is important to the franchisee’s success. You need to balance system restrictions with your ability to manage your own affairs.

Other Operators

While branding is one of the reasons for joining a franchise system, because it brings customers that know the quality and consistency of what you have to offer, the biggest risk to your business is the performance of other franchisees. Franchisees are not only judged by their own performance, but by how well other franchisees operate. If the hotel room or bathroom is dirty in one location the public assumes the problem exists throughout the system. You must work with your fellow franchisees to ensure that everyone operates to achieve the standards of the system.

Income Expectations

Prospective franchisees sometimes have unrealistic expectations about the income they are going to earn. Having realistic expectations is important to any investment decision. It is important in the due diligence process that you realistically understand how much money you will likely earn as a franchisee.

Franchising Inelasticity

Franchise systems are governed by the contracts between the franchisor and each franchisee. Often, these agreements contain restrictions that can impact a franchisor’s ability to make changes necessary to meet a competitive threat.

Franchisors may not be able to add locations to a market or allow you to relocate your business within a market because another franchisee may have territorial rights that cannot be encroached upon. Also in those states that have enacted relationship laws, franchisors may be limited to what actions they can take against non-conforming franchisees, even if their bad acts are hurting your business.

The restrictions of franchising can be a double-edged sword sometimes — they can make franchising successful, but can also be disadvantages to some franchisees. The restrictions may be on the products and services they are allowed to offer; limitations on size and exclusivity of their territory; the possibility of termination for failure to follow the system; the added investment often required for reimaging, remodeling or acquiring new equipment as a condition of renewal; the cost of transfer and renewal; and restrictions on independent marketing. Also, the added costs for royalties, advertising, additional training and other services potentially reduce a franchisee’s earnings.

First evaluate whether franchising is for you. Then understand the advantages and disadvantages and see if the disadvantages are something you can live with. Keep what is important to you in mind when evaluating any franchisor and don’t assume that every franchise opportunity is the same. n

Evaluating the Franchise Agreement

Franchise agreements are long and complex documents written in legalese that may put the average person to sleep. But not all franchise agreements, even in the same industry, are the same. It is important that you read and understand the franchise agreement before signing on the dotted line.

You should always work with a qualified franchisee lawyer in reviewing any franchise agreement. Franchise law is a specialty and the local attorney you used to close on your house or prepare your last will and testament probably won’t have the practical experience required to be of any real assistance. Local attorneys may not understand why certain issues may be negotiable and why others aren’t. They may not be able to flag something in the agreement that is unusual. They also won’t generally have the background, knowledge or industry intelligence to effectively understand or compare one franchisor to another possible franchise opportunity. For that level of qualified expertise and experience you need a qualified franchisee lawyer, and maybe other professionals as well.

The leading source for qualified franchise attorneys is the International Franchise Association’s Supplier Forum guide that’s located on the IFA’s web site at www.

franchise.org and in the back of this Franchise Opportunities Guide.

Here are some elements you and your attorney should be looking for in the franchise agreement:

• Are there any promises the franchisor made to you verbally that you are relying upon in making your decision to invest in the franchise? If those promises are not in the franchise agreement, they won’t be part of the legal relationship, and the franchisor may not be required to provide them to you.

Are the franchise agreement and the disclosure document consistent? Usually that will not be a problem, but sometimes you’ll find items you thought you understood in the disclosure document that aren’t quite the same or as clear in the franchise agreement. Make certain the deal you sign up for is the same as the deal you sign for on the dotted line.

• Are there areas of the franchise agreement that your lawyer believes are not proper based on state laws? If there are, it is better to have those terms eliminated or modified before you sign the agreement.

• Does the franchise agreement require you to sign a personal guarantee? Does it include family members who will not be involved in your business or conditions which your attorney thinks are too broad? You may want to discuss with the franchisor modifying the personal guarantee.

• Are there any additional services you think the franchisor should consider providing? Extra training, additional field support during the opening period and changes to the time required to open your business are all possible if you make your case to the franchisor that they are necessary. Will you have the opportunity to maximize the equity you have built in your business if you choose to sell your business before the end of the term? Will the purchaser of your business get a full term or will he get only the remaining term of your existing agreement?

• How frequently will you need to remodel your location? Will that remodeling requirement be enforced if you only have a few years left on your agreement and may not have the time to amortize the additional investment before you leave the system? For example, if you remodeled in the eighth year of your agreement in anticipation of renewing, will the franchisor require you to remodel again as a condition of renewal in the 10th year?

Clarify the issues you don’t understand. Try to negotiate those points that don’t fit your needs. And, always rely on an experienced franchise attorney to assist you in making your franchise decision.

If you’re working with a franchise broker, its role is not to provide you with legal advice. While most franchise brokers are honorable and knowledgeable about franchising, they only get paid when you sign the franchise agreement. That is too great a conflict for you to ignore.

One last bit of advice: Never sign a franchise agreement you do not understand. Make certain your attorney explains each part of the agreement to you if you are not certain what it means. Don’t brush lightly over the sections at the end of the agreement dealing with defaults, terminations and what happens when the relationship between you and the franchisor ends. Those may be the most important parts of the agreement for you to understand when you are getting into the relationship. n

Pre-Sale Disclosure & the Franchise Disclosure Document

Before you can invest in any franchise, at least 14 days before you sign the franchise agreement, a franchisor is required to provide to you its pre-sale disclosure document. The purpose of the franchise disclosure document, referred to as FDD, is to enable you to make an informed decision prior to entering into any franchise relationship.

When you start to read the disclosure portion of the franchisor’s FDD you will notice that it has been written in plain English. The reason this is done is to make it easier for you to independently review and understand the terms of the franchisor’s offering detailed in the disclosure document. But even if you think you fully understand what is contained in the franchisor’s offering, the terms of your franchise relationship will be governed by the contracts that are attached at the end of the FDD and those are written in proper legalese. It is important therefore that you have the assistance of a qualified franchisee lawyer working with you to review and explain all of the material contained in the FDD.

The FDD is divided into 22 items and a receipt page. While the government establishes the categories for disclosure, what

each franchisor includes as the terms of its offering is up to the franchisor. Even in the same industry segment, the terms will often be very different between franchisors and you should not assume that they are the same. While the fees will be clearly important, focus on the rest of the document as this will define your rights and obligations as a franchisee.

The FDD is going to provide you with information about:

• The franchisor,

• The experience and background of the franchisor’s key personnel,

• Bankruptcy and litigation history of the franchisor and its key personnel,

• Initial and continuing fees you will be required to pay,

• Estimated range of your investment including the working capital you will require,

• Restrictions on your purchases including what the franchisor requires you to purchase from them or an affiliate,

Your obligations as a franchisee, including who must operate your business, and those of the franchisor,

• Financing available by or through the franchise system,

• Whether or not you receive an exclusive, protected territory or no territorial protection other than your business’ location,

• The causes for default and the rights of the franchisor to terminate the agreement,

• Your rights and obligations about continuing the relationship after the initial term,

• Restrictions on you operating another business during and after the term of the agreement,

Information the franchisor may provide on how well its business locations are performing,

Information on the number of locations in the system and turnover information for locations that have opened, closed or been transferred,

• Contact information on current franchisees and those that have recently left the system,

• Copy of the franchise and other agreements you will be required to sign.

Not all franchisors provide information on the financial performance of their locations, but most do. While this information can be very important to you in selecting a franchisor, it is not necessarily an indication thsat the franchisor is hiding something if it does not include what is titled an Item 19 Financial Performance Representation.

Working with qualified legal and other franchise advisors, the contact information provided for current and former franchisees will be very useful to you. There is likely no better source of gaining an understanding of the culture of the franchise system, the performance of the franchisor and its services, and how well the franchisees are doing economically. Using this information is critical in conducting your evaluation of the franchisor.

Don’t assume you understand what the franchise disclosure document and the agreements say. The FDD and its attachments describe a very complex and longterm relationship and your understanding of the franchise system is important before you sign any agreement. While investing in hiring a qualified franchise lawyer adds some cost to your investment, it is minor compared to the investment you will be making overall. The International Franchise Association strongly recommends that you engage qualified professionals to work with you. n

Evaluating a Franchisor

Making a decision on which franchise opportunity is best for you is a wholly personal decision. What you value as most important in a franchise system may not be as important to someone else.

Before you start to examine any franchise system, you should first become educated on the subject. There is a lot of information available to you online at the International Franchise Association’s website: www.franchise.org, as well as a glossary of important terms specific to franchising: www.franchise.org/faq.

Another great resource is “Franchising for Dummies,” a book written by Michael Seid, CFE, managing director of MSA Worldwide (www.msaworldwide.com) and the late Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy’s International. You can purchase a copy of the book from Amazon.com or in most bookstores.

Once you have decided on the industries you are interesting in, and have selected a few franchise systems to explore, those franchisors will at some point give you a copy of their franchise disclosure document, known as FDD. It is lengthy, and at first glance, can seem intimidating. Read it carefully and make notes of anything you do not fully understand. The purpose of franchise disclosure is to give you a minimum level of information necessary for you to make an educated franchise investment decision. It is by no means intended to give you all of the information you might require.

On the MSA website is a workbook, “Making the Franchise Decision.” The workbook was developed to provide potential franchisees with questions and information they should ask and consider before investing in a franchise. Some of the topics included in the workbook are:

Questions to ask yourself,

• Information about the franchisor and its management team,

• Franchise costs,

• Franchise Services:

- Site development

- Consumer research and marketing

- Training and operations manuals

- Continual services

- Financial and local operational issues

- Territory

- Marketing and advertising

- Field support

- Your market and area

- Products and services

- Franchise ownership

There are a few things you should keep front-of-mind as you evaluate any franchisor.

• This is likely the first franchise you have ever invested in. The franchise salesperson has been through this hundreds or even thousands of times before.

• The franchisor has a process that it wants to move you through in making your decision. While you should always respect the franchisor’s selection process, don’t resist asking those questions you need to get the answers you require. Make sure you write down the franchisor’s answers because just like looking at a new house or apartment, after a while you may forget which franchisor said what on any particular question.

Make certain you read and understand the franchisor’s marketing materials, disclosure document and agreements. If you are relying on something the franchisor said during your discovery process, make certain it is included in the written franchise agreement. Ask your lawyer to assist you in the selection process. One of the best sources for finding a qualified franchisee lawyer is among the members of the IFA’s Supplier Forum located at www.franchise.org.

Good luck on your exploration of franchising. This is an important decision for you and your family so take your time and get all of the information you need before signing any franchise agreement. n

Buying an Existing Franchise

There are some significant differences and potentially some advantages to buying an existing franchise instead of starting from scratch:

• It exists: Instead of starting out by looking for a location, building out the site, purchasing all of the necessary furniture, equipment and signage, finding vendors and buying inventory, looking for employees to hire and train, etc., etc., etc., — the business already exists.

There’s history: Since the business already exists, it has a reputation in the community and existing customers. You can see how much volume the business has done historically, how much income it has earned, better determine your working capital requirements, and understand the location’s seasonality and operating trends.

• You know its cost: When buying an existing operation, the buyer purchases the business based upon a negotiated price that may be calculated upon its asset base, its cash flow

or some other agreed-upon terms or conditions. When starting from scratch, the information provided by the franchisor in its franchise disclosure document can only provide you, at best, an estimate of your costs to develop your new business.

• Return on investment: With a new location, even with an experienced franchisor providing guidance and all of the research available — it’s still speculative. With a new location there is no history to rely upon. Easier to finance: Banks like the fact that they can base their lending decisions not only on the reputation of the franchise system and your background, but also on the performance of an operating location.

Buying an existing franchise can be a great opportunity, but you still have to do your homework before you make your investment. Even if the historic information looks solid, you need to dig for more important details. The following questions will help you obtain the information you need.

Why is the current franchisee leaving the business?

Will the staff and existing management be staying? What are their backgrounds? Are there any contracts or promises you should be aware of? What are their current salaries and when was their last increase in pay?

What are the trends for the business? Are they still as strong as the past history? Is the market drying up? Has the neighborhood started changing? Are there new competitors coming into the market that could affect future performance?

What is the location and the center your business is in like? Is there new road construction that will impact your location? Will there be any changes in the anchor tenants in your retail center? Is the center’s management changing? If it is, what is the reputation of your new landlord?

Why do you think you can do as well or better than the existing franchisee?

What are the economic trends for the business? Have sales been going up or have they been going down for some time? Get copies of the financial statements for the business for the past five years. Is there anything missing or added which needs to be adjusted?

How long do you have on the existing lease? Is the lease assignable to you? Talk to the landlord; will he offer you a renewal when the current lease is up? What will be the cost/terms of the new lease?

What is the condition of the building, the equipment and vehicles? Are there any leases that you will have to assume? Are they assignable? What about any guarantees or warranties? Can they be assigned to you?

What are the terms of the new agreement? How will the new terms impact the value of the business?

Are there any fees due to the franchisor if you buy the business and if so, how much and who pays – you or the seller?

Do you get a protected territory for the business?

How many years will you have on the current franchise agreement? How many renewal periods?

Will you be required to make any improvements or modifications to the business? If yes, how long do you have to make the changes and what are they going to cost?

14 Are there any licenses required to operate the business?

Will you be trained by the franchisor or the franchisee? If you are going to be trained by the franchisee, how much will the training cost? Who can you bring to training? n

Unveiling Franchise Financing Approaches

Crafting a sound funding strategy for a new business has never been more vital, requiring an alignment between your needs and the funding avenue. A prevalent error entrepreneurs commit is underestimating the capital demand. It’s crucial to realize that beyond covering startup costs, sufficient working capital is imperative to reach the break-even point and continue thriving.

In today’s dynamic credit environment, traditional funding approaches have evolved to incorporate fresh strategies, replacing some long-standing options. For instance, the diminishing popularity of home equity loans has given rise to alternative funding avenues like retirement plan rollovers, SBA loans, and securities-backed loans.

Let’s explore these three key funding pathways:

401(k)/IRA Funding

For more than a decade, 401(k)/IRA rollovers have been a significant component of franchisee funding strategies. Contrary to the common notion of using retirement funds solely for traditional investments, these funds can also be utilized to purchase

a business, tax-deferred and penalty-free. The 401(k) ROBS (Rollover for Business Start-Up) program, a standout choice, allows you to leverage your retirement savings for franchise acquisition without incurring penalties or immediate taxes.

The program bears various merits, including an accelerated transition to positive cash flow due to reduced loan dependency. It offers the flexibility to draw a salary while awaiting profitability and can serve as equity injection for SBA loans.

SBA Loans

The Small Business Administration (SBA) administers several loan programs catering to small businesses. Eligibility demands a significant equity stake, usually 20-30%, alongside other requisites such as a detailed business plan, three years of tax returns, personal financial statements, and a resume. Given the intricate nature of the process, experts suggest utilizing loan brokers for smoother navigation.

Securities Backed Loan

This innovative loan resembles a home equity loan, with the distinction that securities in your investment portfolio serve

as collateral instead of home equity. Such loans have compelling advantages, such as no disruption to your investment strategies or tax implications. With favorable interest rates, quick approval, and easy terms, they are gaining traction among entrepreneurs.

Funding Success

Navigating your franchise funding journey requires astute choices, often combining various strategies for optimal results. Collaborating with adept funding experts can guide you through the intricate web of options and boost your chances of business triumph. At Benetrends Financial, we are dedicated to shaping your franchise aspirations into reality, aligning your financial goals with tailored funding solutions. n

IFA’s Mission

The International Franchise Association protects, enhances and promotes franchising.

IFA’s Vision

IFA: The preeminent voice and acknowledged leader for franchising worldwide.

About the International Franchise Association

A Brief History of Important Leadership in Franchising

Great institutions often begin with a simple idea. “To build an association that would maintain a favorable commercial and regulatory atmosphere for franchising.” Our founders were visionaries.

The International Franchise Association was founded in Chicago in 1960 by a handful of franchise leaders led by William “Bill” Rosenberg, founder of Dunkin’ Donuts. Each person attending the inaugural gathering contributed $100 to help finance the start of the association. By the time these leaders had met, modern day franchising had already begun to show its potential for changing the economic vitality of the United States by producing jobs, creating small businesses and supporting the rapid development of the middle class in the postWorld War II economy. The widespread ac-

ceptance of branded products and services in the expanding economy was already providing significant benefits to consumers all across the United States.

But our founders realized that as franchising grew in importance, challenges would undoubtedly arise, as frequently occurs in any rapidly growing emerging industry and, they anticipated that there would be a movement by government to regulate franchise practices. Having a strong association that could educate legislators and other government officials about franchising and influence their ideas for a proper regulatory structure would be essential. From that single meeting in the International Franchise Association came into being and has, ever since, benefited franchisors, franchisees and consumers worldwide.

The IFA Then and Now

IFA began as an organization representing only franchisors. Today we represent

more than 1,100 franchise systems worldwide. In addition to expanding in the United States, more than one-third of our members today have locations in other nations around the globe.

From our original goal of advancing franchising in the United States came the recognition that as franchising grew, ensuring best practices in franchise management was going to be important internationally. As the world’s oldest and largest franchise association, IFA has served for decades as a member of the World Franchise Congress, an international organization of franchising associations that are dedicated to advance, enhance, protect and support best practices in franchising management the world over.

We did not begin as an all-encompassing organization; franchisees were not represented as members of the association when IFA was first established. But that changed in 1993 when our board of direc-

tors, led by Stephen Lynn, chairman the Sonic chain of drive-in restaurants, voted unanimously to include franchisees in its membership. It was a difficult decision, but many of our founders, still active in the association at that time, raised their voices during that meeting about the importance of franchisee inclusion. With the support of a handful of franchisee leaders who became members of the IFA that day, we became whole.

The importance of franchisee inclusion and their contributions came into sharp focus when two of our founding franchisee members, Steve Siegel (then with Dunkin’ Donuts) and Lawrence “Doc” Cohen, CFE, (Great American Cookie Company) in 2002 and 2006, respectively, took on the role and responsibility of leading IFA as our chairmen. These early franchisee leaders were followed by Jack Earle (McDonald’s) in 2011. Today, IFA represents more than 10,000 franchisee-members, with industry leading single and multi-unit franchisees serving as members of our board of directors, our Franchisee Forum and on every IFA committee and task force.

Rounding out what former IFA Chairman Russ Frith, CFE, (Lawn Doctor) called IFA’s three-legged membership stool are the more than 600 professional advisors and supplier firms that support franchising. Suppliers have played an important leadership role in the organization since 1968 when attorney Philip Zeidman, a partner of Brownstein Zeidman & Schomer (now DLA Piper) was appointed general counsel when

the association moved its headquarters from Chicago to Washington, D.C.

Beginning with the election of attorney Joyce Mazero (now with Polsinelli) in 1995, the IFA’s board of directors approved a recommendation that the chairman of the Supplier Forum attend and participate (without vote) on the board of directors. In recognition of the important role that

suppliers play in the association, the IFA’s board unanimously approved in 1998 the elevation of the chairman of the Supplier Forum to voting status on the board and as a voting member of its Executive Committee. In 2002, with the election of Michael Seid, CFE, (MSA Worldwide) followed by Lane Fisher, CFE, (Fisher Zucker) in 2007, suppliers were directly elected to the IFA’s board.

Participation in the IFA leadership is available to all members based on the bottom-up structure designed to encourage our members to contribute and lead through committee and task force membership; Franchisor, Franchisee and Supplier forums; the IFA Foundation; the board of directors; and the Executive Committee.

tices in the management of franchise systems, small-business operations and franchise relations on a global basis.

Certified Franchise Executives Program

The Certified Franchise Executives program was established in 1991 to elevate professional standards in the field of franchise management.

Similar to certification programs in other professional organizations, the CFE is recognized as an important designation of competence in franchise knowledge and management excellence.

Since 1991, nearly 1,200 franchise professionals have earned the coveted designation of CFE that requires a diverse and rigorous course of study, the successful completion of examinations, and a proven

franchisors as joint-employers with their franchisees, present significant threats to the franchise model.

level of contribution and support to franchising. More than 1,800 IFA members are engaged in the program as CFEs and candidates.

A History of Franchise Regulation and SelfGovernance

In 1946, the federal government enacted the Lanham (Trademark) Act providing the basis of modern day franchising. Because of the act, franchisors were able to license to franchisees their intellectual property and control how it was used to the benefit of consumers, franchisors and all franchisees. Many of the legendary franchise brands that began following the passage of the act include Dunkin’ Donuts (1950), Burger King (1954), McDonald’s (1955) and The International House of Pancakes (1958).

Franchising grew rapidly following World War II, fueled by returning veterans and pent-up consumer demand. But just as our founders predicted, the rapid growth of franchising did not come without some challenges and beginning in 1969, several states, led by California, began to enact laws that regulated the offering of franchises. It wasn’t until the summer of 1979 that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission began to regulate the offering of franchising, requiring pre-sale disclosure by all franchisors in the United States.

Through the efforts of the IFA, in conjunction with federal and state legislators, regulators and other government officials, franchise regulation did not take a destructive turn toward imposing restrictions on how franchisors structured their franchise

This decision reflected the understanding that franchising was an entrepreneurial growth vehicle made up of an ever-increasing variety of industries providing consumers with consistent and high-quality products and services. To protect and balance the interests of franchisors, franchisees and consumers, and to preserve the entrepreneurial engine of franchising that was vital to our economy, pre-sale disclosure was chosen as the correct regulatory approach.

The IFA has continued to work to improve pre-sale disclosure and to provide clarity and transparency to prospective franchisees as they evaluate franchisors. As part of that continuing effort, most recently in 2013, the IFA commenced enhancements to its franchisee education platform and developed a series of educational courses and investigation tools to aid prospective franchisees in their understanding of franchising and in their selection and due diligence of franchise opportunities. The IFA’s board also appointed a small sub- task force of experienced franchisors and franchisees — Aziz Hashim (NRD Restaurant Holdings), David Barr (PMTD Restaurants), Jeffrey Tews (BrightStar Care), John Kujawa, CFE, and Michael Seid, CFE, (CFWshops and MSA Worldwide) — to develop the IFA’s Statement of Guiding Principles, a proclamation that details the association’s beliefs concerning franchise relations. From that work also flowed the new Summary of Franchise Offering Information, that provides prospective franchisees with enhanced information on the IFA-member franchise offerings that the association’s Franchisee Forum members determined was important to highlight.

As periodically occurs, there have again been attempts to further regulate the relationship between franchisors and franchisees and change the beneficial nature of franchising. Union-lead legislative initiatives in several states, and efforts by the federal National Labor Relations Board to classify

By building relationships with key policymakers and educating them on the strength and impact of franchising, IFA is taking steps to protect the franchise industry from these threats.

The IFA Today

Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the International Franchise Association supports its membership with more than 30 professional staff. Guided by our Code of Ethics and Statement of Guiding Principles, the IFA continues to provide a framework for developing and maintaining healthy, productive and mutually beneficial franchise relationships.

Keeping the performance of franchising strong requires a resolute presence on Capitol Hill and at the local level. Through our political action committee, FranPAC, the IFA has raised millions of dollars in support of business-minded congressional candidates. With the leadership of the IFA’s Legal-Legislative Committee, members of our legislative staff, professional consultants and the IFA membership at large, the IFA has grown to be one of the major voices for free enterprise on Capitol Hill today.

In 1992, we began National Franchising Week, the brainchild of past chairman, U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Bernie Browning, the founder of General Business Services. In the ensuing years, National Franchising Week has evolved into the popular IFA Advocacy Summit formerly called the Franchise Action Network Annual Meeting,

where each fall, hundreds of IFA members meet in Washington, D.C. to conduct committee meetings and to be educated on national and international affairs and economic trends. Through meetings arranged by the IFA’s staff, association members meet with their elected officials on Capitol Hill to educate and inform them and the news media about the franchise model, the impact of regulatory changes and key issues facing franchising and small business.

Our work at the grassroots level is equally important to the successful progress of franchising. Through member-sponsored local Franchise Business Network meetings and the Franchise Action Network, IFA members educate local legislators and the media, making the voice of franchising heard. IFA’s Annual Convention, Legal Symposium, and FRAN-GUARD, our comprehensive program of franchise sales compliance, provide members with a widerange of programing to advance franchise management best practices.

Social Responsibility and Outreach

Social responsibility has been an essential part of why the IFA was founded. Elmer Winter, founder of the Manpower franchise system, set the tone for the IFA’s efforts into social responsibility when as chairman in 1963 he asked, “As a mature organization, what are we going to put back into society?” From that point through today, social responsibility has been a major part of the IFA’s long-range strategic plan.

In an effort to create opportunities for women and minorities in franchising, the

IFA has formed alliances with other national organizations that support women and minorities with a goal of increasing the number of women and minority franchisees, employees and suppliers in franchising. Today, the IFA’s Diversity Institute provides information to assist IFA members in expanding their diversity recruitment and multi-cultural marketing efforts at all levels.

More than $1.5 million was donated by IFA members to launch the Foundation’s NextGen in Franchising Program and other initiatives. The NextGen program kickedoff in October 2014 with the first Young Entrepreneurs in Franchising Competition.

The best entries won a trip to IFA’s 2015 Annual Convention to participate in the first NextGen Summit during the Convention and a chance to win cash prizes during the NextGen Global Competition on the main stage. By providing individuals from around the world with networking opportunities, constructive feedback and a closer look into key components of the franchise process — NextGen is helping entrepreneurial dreams come true.

financial incentives to become franchisee small-business owners. With the support of former First Lady Michelle Obama and the White House, VetFran began the Operation Enduring Opportunity initiative that has helped to provide jobs for more than 151,000 veterans, military spouses and wounded warriors.

VetFran received the American Society of Association Executives’ highest honor in 2014, the “Power of A Gold Award” for its industry-wide effort to hire and recruit 80,000 veterans, military spouses and wounded warriors. Through Operation Enduring Opportunity, since Veterans Day 2011, 203,890 veterans have found career opportunities in the franchise industry, with 5,608 becoming small-business owners, far surpassing the OEO goals.

With the end of the first Gulf War in 1991, Don Dwyer Sr., founder of The Dwyer Group, led the establishment of IFA’s VetFran program to educate our nation’s returning heroes on franchising. Through VetFran, hundreds of participating franchisors provide veterans with guidance, support and

Social franchising is the adoption of commercial franchising practices to address the health and quality of life issues facing the poor worldwide. Commencing in 2010, the IFA established the Social Sector Franchising Task Force to begin our outreach to Non-Government Organizations to provide education and assistance in their adoption of franchising technologies. Through its mentoring program, members of the IFA work with international social franchisors in developing techniques and providing guidance in the management and operation of social franchise systems. IFA has also increased its engagement on social media platforms to educate the public about franchising and to promote positions on key public policy issues. n

About IFA’s VetFran Initiative

What is VetFran?

IFA’s VetFran initiative, founded in 1991, includes more than 500 franchise companies offering financial incentives, training and mentoring to veterans interested in small-business ownership or a career path in

Why was VetFran founded?

VetFran was founded by IFA in 1991 in an effort led by Chairman Don Dwyer Sr. (USAF, Ret.), founder of the Dwyer Group, to support veterans returning from the Gulf War transitioning to the civilian economy.

How many veterans have chosen franchising as a

One out of every seven franchise businesses are owned and operated by veterans of the U.S. military, according to a study conducted for the IFA Foundation based on U.S. Census data. More than 66,000 veteran-owned franchise businesses in the United States provide jobs directly for 815,000 Americans and generate more

Why are veterans successful in franchising?

Veterans return home with strong leadership skills and a thorough understanding of teamwork. Military experience includes leading people, improving processes and accomplishing the mission. Just like in the military, in franchising, the mission is accomplished by the team.

Franchises run on systems, and implementing and following procedures with precision, emphasized in military training, leads to success in franchising.

Franchises provide training. Veterans are trained and taught very specific skills to be used to carry out very specific tasks. Franchises have comprehensive training and support built into their opportunities. This means a veteran can enter into a completely new field, follow the franchisor’s proven business model, and receive the training, guidance and support a new business owner needs to succeed.

Franchises offer support. In franchising, you’re in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

What should veterans consider when exploring franchise opportunities?

Seek out other veterans in the franchise business. Create and access support networks. Prioritize what’s important. Consider different models (home-based vs. office-based, capital requirements, etc.) to find franchises that will be a good fit. Conduct research to understand the history of the franchise business and meet others who have succeeded in the franchise business.

How can I find out about specific franchise ownership incentives for veterans?

The VetFran website includes a Franchising 101 online course, informational videos, a workbook for prospective franchise owners and partner links. VetFran members list incentives and training opportunities on VetFran’s Directory at vetfran.org.

Painting a Bright Future: Veterans Find Purpose and Success with CertaPro Painters® Franchise

Transitioning from the structured world of military service to civilian life can be a daunting task. It’s difficult to find opportunities that not only provide financial stability, but also align with core values of discipline, leadership, and community involvement.

Nick Murray

For Nick Murray, owner of CertaPro Painters®️ Chattanooga, TN, CertaPro Painters was the ideal bridge from military service to civilian entrepreneurship.

With a military background spanning from 2013 to 2018 in the United States Air Force as a Contracting Officer, working in England for two years and then in Georgia for three, Nick’s expertise initially had no connection to paint. However, his military service equipped him with a set of soft skills, including organizational abilities, team management, navigating hierarchical structures, strong presentation skills, and effective communication, all serving as foundational experience that has played a pivotal role in

his CertaPro Painters business.

“Before joining CertaPro, I explored several other franchise investment opportunities,” says Nick. “However, I discovered that CertaPro was the ideal choice for me, aligning with my goal of making a positive impact on my community. Nearly 99% of our customers are from the direct Chattanooga territory, and we’re proud to stay local.”

Five years into his journey with CertaPro Painters, Nick accredits a good amount of his success to the CertaPro business model itself. “I knew franchise ownership would take a few years of hustling and doing my due diligence, talking to existing franchisees and picturing my life as theirs,” says Nick. “I realized CertaPro ownership was what I wanted, so I went for it! As you consider different investments, try not to fall for the trendy concepts – people need service brands and always will.”

Nick is just one of many veterans who have discovered their ideal canvas for success with CertaPro Painters.

Aaron Hardy Jr.

Aaron Hardy Jr., owner of CertaPro Painters Denton, TX, is another exemplary veteran who has made his mark in the world of franchise ownership.

In March of 2020, Aaron joined the CertaPro Family as a Franchise Owner. Aaron is Veteran and proudly served 24 years in the U.S. Army. During his time in the Army, Aaron held a several key leadership positions in various locations, including combat tours in Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom) and Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom).

With each assignment Aaron demonstrated his ability to effectively lead, mentor and motivate others. His leadership ascent led him to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, further solidifying his expertise and experience in commanding and managing teams. Eventually, Aaron decided to retire from his military career, completing a chapter that shaped him into the accomplished leader he is today.

By joining CertaPro Painters, Aaron brings with him a wealth of leadership knowledge, strategic thinking, and a strong work ethic. His background in the military has equipped him with valuable skills that he can now apply to his new role, contributing to the success and growth of CertaPro Painters.

“Becoming a CertaPro Painters franchisee was a decision fueled by both personal connections and the desire for a post-military career,” says Aaron. “I knew another veteran in CertaPro who was excelling at an incredible rate. After my retirement, the idea of transitioning into this business seemed like an ideal way to fill the void. I decided to make the move, start the process, and go into business for myself.”

Aaron and his wife Letisha are passionate about making a positive impact on their

community. Letisha, a former Army nurse, started a non-profit organization aimed at supporting disabled veterans. Her focus is on helping them transition into the civilian sector, as well as assisting older veterans who qualify for various benefits and medical aid. Additionally, Aaron is deeply involved with his alma mater, Georgia Military College, where he received his commission as an army officer. He currently serves on the alumni board, actively contributing to the college’s initiatives and programs. Additionally, Aaron mentors cadets, offering guidance as they prepare for service in the Army.

Together, Aaron and Letisha dedicate their time and efforts to uplifting their community and helping others thrive. Their commitment and dedication to giving back have had far-reaching impact to those around them.

“You deal with different customers with a myriad of unique needs, and their emotional reaction(s) when you make someone’s home or business beautiful is truly fulfilling,” says Aaron. “Forming lasting bonds with fellow community members and customers who invite you back is one of the most rewarding aspects.”

Andrew Reid, President of CertaPro Painters Hendersonville, TN, is another shining example of CertaPro’s commitments to personal development and community engagement.

Andrew Reid embarked on his military journey in 2005, immersing himself in combat medic training. Throughout his service, he actively contributed to Operation Iraq Freedom and Operation New Dawn, displaying unwavering dedication and commitment. After seven years of devoted service, Andrew was honorably discharged in 2012.

Andrew took full advantage of his GI Bill benefits and enrolled in Middle Tennessee State University to pursue higher education. He successfully earned not just one, but two Bachelor’s degrees. His first degree was in Business Management, equipping him with a solid foundation in the principles of running a business. Additionally, Andrew also obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Organizational Psychology, deepening his understanding of human behavior in an organizational setting.

With his newfound knowledge and qualifications, he secured a position as a Manager in Training at Sherwin Williams upon graduation. Excelling in the training program, Andrew went on to manage stores in Cool Springs and Bellevue, Tennessee.

Leveraging his college education and experience in the paint industry, Andrew made a transition to CertaPro Painters, assuming the role of a Residential and Commercial Sales Associate. Demonstrating exceptional sales skills, he finished within the top 15% of representatives in his second year with the company. As he embarked on his third year, Andrew’s dedication and success caught the attention of the current owner, who expressed interest in selling the business to him.

“Owning a business and being responsible for everything intrigued me, but it wasn’t until the opportunity presented itself that I acted. The previous owner was selling, and I decided to take a leap of faith and pull the trigger on it,” says Reid. “My advice to veterans considering franchising or business ownership is to conduct thorough due diligence. Speak with as many people who own similar franchises as possible. Franchising can be very rewarding, but it’s not easy. Soft skills, the willingness to learn, and the humility to ask for help are all crucial.”

In his first year of franchise ownership Reid set a franchise record for his location growing 22%. Andrew is on pace to again have over 20% growth.

With a shared commitment to community involvement and a deep sense of purpose, veterans like Nick, Aaron, and Andrew have embraced CertaPro Painters as their canvas for success. n

Military Precision Meets Car Protection: Former Air Force Master Sergeant Applies Strategic Skills as a Ziebart Franchisee

By Nick Lambie, Ziebart Owner of Morgantown, West Virginia

As a former Air Force Master Sergeant, I spent the majority of my adult life mastering skills like discipline, leadership, and attention to detail. Today, I’m channeling those same principles into my new mission: running a successful Ziebart franchise, where I bring military precision to every aspect of car protection and customer service.

Coming from a long line of veterans in my family, I first toured an Air Force base in high school and immediately knew that enlisting was my path. During my time in service, I worked as a Command & Control Battlefield Management Operator and Surveillance Technician, coordinating airborne aircraft missions and supporting operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. The responsibilities were intense, and the skill set didn’t exactly align with the typical civilian job market, which left me uncertain about ever leaving the military. However, when my wife and I started a family, I made the decision to leave active duty in 2017 so I could be home to watch my daughter grow. My introduction to Ziebart came unexpectedly when we purchased a new car in upstate New York. The service I received at the store was exceptional, and it piqued my interest in learning more about the brand. I was surprised to discover that Ziebart was a franchise and even more impressed when I found out they offer to waive 100% of the franchise fee for veterans. It felt like the stars aligned.

Launching my business was challenging, but my military training gave me the confidence to face it head-on. On my first day of basic training, I had no idea what I was getting into. Like me, there were 50 others on that bus equally as uncertain, but we banded together and got through it. The start of my entrepreneurship journey with Ziebart was similar. The corporate team supported me every step of the way—from selecting the site to securing equipment and training—offering me the peace of mind I needed to move forward. That didn’t make it easy, though. Getting the doors open took a lot of hard work, but after five years of consistently delivering top-notch results, I couldn’t be more satisfied. In fact, it’s driven me to invest in a second store with my brother, which is set to open in Washington, Pennsylvania later this year. My military mindset has kept me resilient, always focusing on the end goal despite any challenges along the way.

Since opening my Ziebart store in Morgantown, West Virginia in 2019, my military experience has been instrumental in shaping how I run the business. One key lesson I took from the military is that when you take care of your people, they take care of you. This principle applies perfectly to business: I can’t run this operation alone, and my incredible team and I rely on each other to achieve success every day. The second lesson is that the small details matter. Whether it’s ensuring our processes are running

smoothly or focusing on the customer experience, it’s those particulars that can make all the difference. Customer satisfaction is my top priority and for every customer who walks through our doors, I want them to leave feeling confident that we thoroughly explained every option and that they can trust us with their vehicle needs.

By simultaneously focusing on both the big picture and the fine details, I strive to ensure that every interaction with our customers upholds the standards of excellence that define Ziebart. My mission, now and always, is to deliver unparalleled service and reliability, just as I did in my military service. n

Service & Advocacy: How a Veteran’s Franchise Journey Fueled a Fight for Better Healthcare

By Charity Owens, Hilton Head Franchise Partner, ComForCare Franchise Systems, LLC

Born in Atlanta, Georgia, my journey took a pivotal turn at the age of 19 when I made the courageous decision to join the military as a single mother. This choice was not just about serving my country; it was also about creating a better life for my child. My six years in the military instilled in me the values of discipline, resilience, and service— qualities that would guide me through the challenges that lay ahead.

After completing my military service, I faced the daunting task of re-entering civilian life. I took on various jobs, but as a disabled veteran, finding stability was an uphill battle. The transition was not easy; the job market posed limitations, and I struggled to find meaningful employment that would provide for my family. However, my determination propelled me forward, and I sought new opportunities.

I found my way into the real estate industry, focusing on foreclosures and bankowned properties (BPOs). With a team of over 120 employees in Georgia and South Carolina, I began to take assessments and photography of homes for banks, navigating the complexities of the housing market. However, when the pandemic struck, our business faced insurmountable challenges. The moratorium on foreclosures brought our operations to a standstill, leading to the heartbreaking decision to close our doors.

In the aftermath of this setback, my family and I faced another significant change: relocating from Atlanta to South Carolina. This transition required us to leave behind everything familiar and embark on a new adventure. We decided to purchase a

franchise, ComforCare - Hilton Head, with the hope of building a new foundation for our lives. Moving to a different state was a leap of faith, but it was a necessary step towards reclaiming our future.

Once we settled in South Carolina, we opened the franchise and began to envision a prosperous life in the Lowcountry. What I initially saw as a business opportunity quickly transformed into a life-changing experience. As I engaged with the elderly community, I witnessed firsthand the struggles faced by individuals who were unable to care for themselves. This exposure opened my eyes to the discrepancies in the healthcare system, particularly the gaps in support for vulnerable populations.

Over the next few years, I dedicated myself to serving clients in the Lowcountry, employing over 70 individuals in the process. My experience reinforced my understanding of the critical need for accessible healthcare and support services. Motivated by this realization, I decided to take a bold step: I would run for state house representative.

I am dedicated to not only serving those who rely on my franchise but also fighting for the entire community.

Opening a franchise has not only been a business endeavor but a transformative journey. It has allowed me to connect with individuals, understand their needs, and contribute to meaningful change. My experiences as a single mother, a military veteran, and a business owner have shaped my perspective and fueled my desire to create a better future for everyone in the Lowcountry.

As I embark on this journey, I bring with me the lessons learned from my past. I am committed to being a voice for the voiceless, improving healthcare access, and ensuring that our community receives the support it deserves. My story is one of resilience, determination, and a deep-seated belief in the power of community.

In conclusion, my journey from Atlanta to South Carolina is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. It showcases the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity and the potential for positive change through dedicated service. As I strive to make a difference in the Lowcountry, I am reminded that every challenge overcome is an opportunity to uplift others. Together, we can build a brighter future for our community, one that prioritizes the health and well-being of all its members. n

From Lieutenant Colonel to Franchise Owner: Gary Bodony’s Soaring Success

Gary Bodony, a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force, has successfully transitioned his military expertise into the world of franchising. His journey from defending our nation to building a thriving Massage Heights franchise is a testament to the resilience and leadership skills honed during his years of service.

A seasoned pilot with the 190th Air Refueling Wing of the Kansas Air National Guard, Bodony’s military career was marked by a sense of duty and a commitment to excellence. As a KC-135 Stratotanker pilot, he mastered the art of air refueling, a complex operation demanding precision, teamwork, and focus. These skills, combined with his leadership roles as an Inspector General, prepared him for the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead.

“The military instilled in me a strong sense of discipline, confidence, and problem-solving ability,” Bodony reflected. “It taught me the importance of leadership, teamwork, and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”

While still serving in the Air National Guard, Bodony sought a new challenge that would allow him to leverage his skills while maintaining a sense of purpose. Franchising presented an attractive opportunity. “I was drawn to the structured environment and the support system provided by franchisors,” he explains. “It felt like a natural progression from the military, where we followed clear protocols and operated within a defined system.”

Bodony’s journey into franchising began with a tanning salon franchise, a venture that provided him with valuable entrepreneurial experience. However, his passion for wellness and a desire to make a positive impact on people’s lives led him to the Massage Heights franchise. As a client of Massage Heights, Bodony experienced firsthand the benefits of the service and recognized the potential for growth in the wellness industry.

“I was impressed by the Massage Heights business model, which focuses on creating loyal members and generating consistent revenue,” Bodony said. “The growing emphasis on health and well-being made me confident in the franchise’s longterm success.”

To support Veterans transitioning into the business world, Massage Heights offers a 10% discount on the initial franchise fee. This, combined with the Small Business Administration’s waiver of financing fees for Veterans, made franchising an even more attractive option for Bodony.

“The support and incentives offered to Veterans demonstrate Massage Heights’ commitment to giving back to those who have served our country,” Bodony said.

Bodony’s military background has significantly influenced his management style as a franchise owner. His leadership philosophy is rooted in the core values he learned in the Air Force – integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do.

“In both the military and business, effective leadership is about building strong teams, setting clear goals, and creating a positive and supportive environment,” Bodony explained.

For aspiring Veteran entrepreneurs considering franchising, Bodony offered this advice: “Leverage your military experience and transferrable skills to find a franchise that aligns with your passions and goals. Take advantage of Veteran-friendly programs and support networks to help you succeed.”

Gary Bodony’s story is a testament to the enduring impact of military service and the ability of Veterans to excel in the business world. His journey from combat support pilot to franchise owner is a source of inspiration for those seeking to make a successful transition from the armed forces to civilian life. n

Switching Gears: From Army National Guard to SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service® Franchisee

By Garland Moore, Multi-Unit Owner of SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service® in Greenville, NC

I’ve always viewed myself as a leader –not a follower. When I know a task needs to get done, I assess the situation, bring my team together, and come up with a response to achieve the best possible outcome. It’s a mindset that has carried with me through my experience serving in the Army National Guard and in my second career as a franchisee with SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service®

Franchising wasn’t always in the cards for me. It’s a career path I didn’t even consider until after turning 30 when I wanted to change the trajectory of my life. Up until that point, most of my adult life had revolved around the military – whether active or inactive duty.

My exposure to military service began in high school during my time at a military academy. I followed up that experience by attending The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina, where I was a Battalion Supply Non-Commissioned Officer my junior year, and then a Cadre Platoon Leader my senior year. Those responsibilities taught me the importance of leadership, discipline, and teamwork, and set the foundation for those personal strengths later in life, specifically during my time as a franchisee.

Following graduation in 2011, I joined the Army National Guard, working my way from Armor Officer to Platoon Leader and eventually to an Executive Officer. I went from leading a 20-person team through maneuver and battle drills to supervising all logistical support to a team of more than 100 people. After six years in the Army National Guard, I stepped away from my role as an active-duty service member and landed a job as a Transition Specialist for Hire Heroes USA, a non-profit organization helping service members, veterans, and their spouses find employment. More than a year later, I decided to pivot careers and explore the world of business ownership.

During my search for franchising opportunities, the automotive industry jumped out to me as a great way for me to utilize my skills from the Army National Guard, such as operations management, project management, recruitment, and strategic planning. SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service® drew my attention for their commitment to customer excellence, the brand’s growth potential, and most important, providing support to our veterans. They help make entrepreneurship more accessible, affordable, and attainable to veter-

ans like me – such as offering a sizeable discount off the franchise fee as well as rebates on royalty fees for the first two years.

It takes a lot of work to run your own business, but the skills I learned from my time in the Army National Guard prepared me to take on this enormous responsibility with confidence. Similar to the military, a franchise needs a strong and reliable team to run a successful operation. Every team member needs to be fully committed to the brand’s mission and be willing to go above and beyond to ensure the business meets its financial and customer satisfaction goals. During my years as a Platoon Leader and Executive Officer, I led men from all different backgrounds. Despite our differences before joining the military, we trained, worked, and achieved our goals as one team, and that’s my approach to running both of my franchise locations.

Along with being strong leaders and reliable team members, veterans bring a wealth of other skills to the table for any franchise such as organization, experience following a system, and problem-solving under pressure. Even though I didn’t always think of myself as a business owner, the skillset I developed in the military and the support I get from SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service® made this transition feel natural and better than I could have ever expected. n

Mission-Driven Success: How My Military Background Fueled My Entrepreneurial Journey

By Paul Holt, Pillar To Post Franchise Business Owner

I spent 22 years of my life serving my country, and while those years were tough, they were also incredibly rewarding. When I retired from the Army as a Master Sergeant, I knew that the road ahead would be difficult to pivot into civilian life – I was at a crossroad. I joined the Army right out of high school and it was all I knew up to that point. My experience in the Military provided me with all of the skills and leadership qualities I needed to be an entrepreneur, I just needed to take that leap of faith.

Being a veteran is one of my proudest accomplishments, but when I was done serving, I wanted to make something of my own while also helping give back the best way I could. I started to research different business opportunities and came across franchising, particularly with Pillar To Post. I had viewed several different concepts, but Pillar To Post had company values that aligned perfectly with what I wanted: Respect the individual, Invest in each other’s success, Have pride in what we do, Practice continuous improvement, and Deliver what we promise. I also enjoyed that this concept was in the home services space. My family has a legacy in construction, so being able to work in a happy medium of that

world made me feel more like I was thriving in my own right.

I chose to be a franchise business owner with Pillar To Post in 2019, in North Carolina. Starting a business is never easy, and I quickly learned that the market for home inspections was both competitive and challenging. Many of my competitors were focused on offering fast and cheap services, which I knew would never lead to the kind of thorough inspections that homeowners truly need. I was determined to set a higher standard, even if it meant taking a risk.

That’s why, in the early days of my business, I made the decision to offer my services for free. I conducted 47 home inspections at no charge, not because I didn’t value my work, but because I wanted to prove to my clients that quality matters. I wanted them to see firsthand that a thorough inspection could make all the difference in the safety and success of buying a home.

Now this was a huge business gamble, especially for a first-time business owner just starting out. People around me were worried about how this would affect my profitability, and just the overall future of

my business. But it all paid off in more ways than I could have imagined.

In my first year, my business grew by 418%, and I was honored to receive Pillar To Post’s Rookie of the Year award in 2020. Since then, I’ve continued to see annual growth of 20-30%. More importantly, I’ve built a reputation for excellence that has set my business apart in a crowded market.

I have been not only able to grow my own business, but have been able to give back to my community and my fellow veterans. I established a pipeline with Fort Liberty to help other veterans transition to civilian careers through the SkillBridge Program. I also have had the opportunity to work with the Dream Center a local charity for homeless veterans to help them get back on their feet because anybody who serves our country should never sleep without a roof over their head.

As I continue to grow my business, I remain focused on the things that matter most which is delivering quality service, giving back to my community, and helping others succeed. My military service may be behind me, but the principles that defined those years continue to shape my journey as an entrepreneur, as I strive to lead with purpose and create lasting change. n

Cruising into Opportunity

By Adriana Phillips, Owner of Expedia Cruises in Belmont, NC

I’ve had a passion for travel for as long as I can remember – and it has stuck with me throughout my various walks of life. It was actually one of the reasons I decided to join the United States Air Force, as I would have an opportunity to see the world.

After spending 12 years in the Air Force, with majority of that time working in medical administration for hospitals and mobile units, I decided to enter corporate America. While I was able to learn and grow my skills for nearly 30 years, I ultimately decided to leave in 2020 after my job was impacted by the pandemic,

and my company at the time was planning to downsize.

In looking for my next endeavor, I decided now was the time to pursue something where I could be the decision maker and didn’t have to rely on others. All my life, the future of my career was in someone else’s hands – oftentimes people that I had never even met. I thought now was the time to sit in the driver’s seat. However, I have always been risk-averse and never anticipated that I would become a business owner through franchising.

After speaking with my husband who is also a veteran, he told me to ensure I was

passionate about whatever I was going to do, and would enjoy doing it every day. My mind went right to travel as it’s something we both enjoy, and the decision was made. As we were going through the exploration process, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I could enter this industry as an independent owner. Franchising really is freedom within a framework – you have the foundation and steps laid out for you to follow as part of a system, but you still have the freedom to make your own decisions.

While we were doing our due diligence, Expedia Cruises stood out for a number of reasons. First, it was backed by a well-known, industry leader – this gave me comfort that while I was

going to run my own business, I didn’t have to do it fully on my own. Second, the systemic processes, policies and procedures in place were going to set me up for success as they are part of a proven business model that has worked for many others. Things are run very structurally in the Air Force, as well as in the corporate world, so this is something I am quite comfortable with. If you give me the tools and resources, I can follow and execute the playbook.

Certain qualities that were instilled in me during the Air Force, such as discipline and a strong work ethic, were critical as I was getting my business up and running. While a franchise gives you the launchpad for success, it still is a lot of work, so you must be willing to put in the time and energy that’s needed of you – especially in the beginning.

Another element of franchising, and especially at Expedia Cruises, that resembles the Air Force is that you are part of a large community. Each step of the way during the onboarding process, I felt as if I was joining a family and even since then, I have never felt alone. You become reliant on your team – in whichever branch of the military that you serve – and I have always felt supported by the corporate team and other franchisees.

From the community you are surrounded with to the processes that are set in place and more, Expedia Cruises is a great fit for Veterans, regardless of where they are at in life. n

Moran Salutes its Veteran Franchise Owners

Moran Family of Brands is proud of all of our talented and caring franchise owners, but we’re especially appreciative of the 14 franchise owners in our system who have served in the military. In honor of Veterans Day this year we thought we’d spotlight Albert Daniel, who with his wife, Serina, have owned their Milex shop in Frederick Maryland, for the past 11 years – and then they added a Milex/Alta Mere co-branded store in nearby Boonsboro, Maryland, in 2015. Albert also serves on Moran’s Franchise Advisory Alliance and has been a trainer and mentor to other franchisees throughout the Moran system. This year he was named Milex Franchisee of the Year for the fourth time.

We caught up with Albert recently to talk about his years in the military, and here are some highlights from our conversation.

How Albert wound up in the navy.

Albert joined in 1989 when he was just 17 years old. He had grown up in a rough neighborhood in Hyattsville, Maryland and wanted find an opportunity for the future. He worked with the Navy to help him get his GED and enlist. Because Albert had experience and an interest in working on cars growing up, he was given an ASVAB test upon entering the Navy and tested highly in his mechanically abilities. He was assigned to work on maintaining the jets.

Overall military experience.

From 1989 to 1994, Albert was in the United States Navy and stationed on the USS George Washington (CVN 73), an aircraft carrier based out of Norfolk, Virginia. He was a Petty Officer, 2nd class, working on the flight deck in AS2 Maintenance, which is where he obtained his many of the technical skills he employs when running his two franchise locations today. Mostly, Albert repaired and maintained equipment that supported jets on the aircraft carrier USS George Washington. But he was also a “plank owner,” which means as part of the crew that built the ship, the Navy will give him a piece of the ship when they de-commission it.

That make take awhile, however. Albert says that the lifespan of those ships are about 50 to 60 years.

Most memorable experiences in the military.

Albert was part of building the USS George Washington. Construction started several years before Albert started in the Navy and he was present at a ceremony in which First Lady Barbara Bush christened the ship in 1990. They continued to do work on the ship over the next two years before it was officially commissioned into

active service at Naval Station Norfolk on July 4, 1992.

How Albert’s military experience has helped him as a franchise owner.

He says that it “prepared me in so many ways. You understand the importance of having a strong work ethic and doing whatever it takes to get the job done right. All those things I learned in the military. I was a good fit as an employee as soon as I got out. It helped me grow professionally and become the top lead mechanic in my job at a dealership. I felt the next step up from there was to open my own business.”

The experience of being on a flight deck.

Although there is certain pressure in fixing cars in a timely fashion for his customers, Albert said it pales in comparison to his time fixing jets on the flight deck in the Navy.

“There is more stress when the flight deck is moving because you have to get that equipment up and running, so it can support the aircraft while you are doing live takeoffs and landings,” he says.

Does Albert think being a franchise owner could be a good choice for other people who are leaving the military and looking at career options? “Yes, definitely,” said Albert. “Com-

ing out of the military you often have the hands-on training that prepares you for what you need to do. The franchise side gives you the whole package for your business, so you can open without failing.”

Albert also adds that the franchise system works well for veterans who are trained to follow a system in place. And if you have questions and are unsure about the system? Albert said that there are plenty of people in corporate – as well as fellow franchise owners – who will be glad to offer their advice and moral support.

If you happen to be reading this and are a military veteran and possibly a future franchise owner, please keep in mind that Moran Family of Brands is an active member of VetFran, an initiative that provides a $5,000 franchise fee discount, mentorship and training programs for any honorably discharged U.S. Veteran transition to civilian life. n

TYPE OF BUSINESS: With a Christian Brothers Automotive franchise, winning in business and living out your faith are not mutually exclusiveit’s our way of doing business.

We’re building long-term relationships with customers who think of us first for all their car care needs.

HISTORY: 47 franchised units; in business since 2002; franchising since 2003. The Ellianos story began when experienced entrepreneurs and coffee-lovers, Scott and Pam Stewart, returned to their home in Lake City, FL from a visit to the Pacific Northwest. While there, the Stewarts took notice of the booming drive-thru specialty coffee shop industry. Having a love for coffee and always looking to seize the right opportunity, the Stewarts began planning for Lake City’s first double-sided drive-thru specialty coffee shop. Driven by a mission to serve the highest quality specialty coffee beverages in a way that would meet the demands of busy Americans, familyowned Ellianos Coffee Company was founded in 2002. People took to the concept almost immediately and the Stewarts decided to franchise the Ellianos concept and brand. Being a franchisee

himself in the pizza industry, Mr. Stewart knew what it would take to start a franchise, and determined that his company would value franchisees as though they were part of the family. Today, the Ellianos franchise is readily available in about 35 of the states. With a lot of hard work, attention to detail, and help from others, Ellianos Coffee Company has become a dominate brand in the Southeast United States. Even in the early states, Ellianos achieved brand awareness in its market and thousands of loyal customers. We stand today by the same motto we did back then: to serve Italian quality at America.

CASH INVESTMENT: $75,000 start-up cash; $612,000-$899,000 total investment required.

TRAINING/SUPPORT: Ellianos complete training will take place at our corporate offices and our corporate affiliated store in Lake City, FL.

TYPE OF BUSINESS: The Waters Edge Winery combines winemaking and the winery experience with the accessibility of the wine bar model. We produce most of the wines at a central production facility. The retail locations order finished wine from our central production facility. There is limited winemaking at the franchise locations. The hub-and-spoke model minimizes the labor and time that our franchisees spend making the wine they sell by the bottle or by the glass. This model allows our franchisees to get open for business within six months or less. The other benefit of our model that helps you be in business for yourself, not by yourself, is that you spend more time doing what our franchisees love to do: Run the winery and mingle with guests. By producing the wine at our central production facility, you spend more time with your customers and being a part of the operations in the front of the winery, not in the back.

HISTORY: 22 franchised units; in business since 2012; franchising since 2012. We have grown steadily over the last decade and anticipate growing at a rate of 10-12 units per year.

Students are taught basic skills, then encouraged to practically apply them in a spirit of Build to Solve. Kids stay engaged, parents see progress. Let’s get building!

TYPE OF BUSINESS: DreamMaker is the 2024 #1 Home Services Franchise in Franchisee Satisfaction according to Franchise Business Review, and also received a 2024 Top Franchises Satisfaction award, and Culture100 award from FBR. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen is the Premier Kitchen and Bath Remodeling Franchise opportunity (with over 25 years of experience) that helps entrepreneurs and remodelers earn strong financial numbers while having a focus on improving their quality of life. The DreamMaker opportunity is unique in that it offers the niche of professional kitchen and bath remodeling. Additionally, our business model and technology are designed to expand into full interior remodeling as your confidence, competency and business grows. This allows you to maximize your marketing dollars and create a customer for life. Our franchise owners enjoy much stronger margins than most remodelers — and their customers report much, much higher satisfaction. DreamMaker’s business practices are guided by biblical principles of service, respect and integrity — and are key to our success.

HISTORY: 42 franchised units; in business since 1970; franchising since 1971. We got our start back in 1975. The kitchen remodeling franchise company’s roots can be traced back to the 1970s when GNU Corporation developed a system to put a beautiful new hard-surface topcoat on porcelain bathtubs and sinks. Since 1988, under the name Worldwide Refinishing Systems, Inc., our network continuously created a vast array of possibilities to turn kitchens and bathrooms into personal reflections of our DreamMaker consumers. Under the Dwyer Group umbrella, the company grew nationally as Worldwide Refinishing Systems, Inc. and became a recognized leader in our trade. In 1999, we were rechristened DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen by Worldwide. This new title captures the mission that we offer full-service bath, kitchen, and fullinterior remodeling services. When DreamMaker President and Chief Stewarding Officer (CSO) Doug Dwyer purchased the company in 2003, the dream continued as the company vastly expanded its services, moving beyond resurfacing and refinishing to become a full-service interior remodeling company focused on enhancing lives and improving homes. His leadership earned the company Remodeler of the Year by Pro Remodeler Magazine in 2004 making DreamMaker a name to remember in the remodeling industry. DreamMaker has since been ranked in the top 10 Remodelers in the Nation by

Qualified Remodeler’s Top 500 and Remodeling Magazine Top 550, Franchise Gator Top 100 Franchise, Entrepreneur Top 500 Franchise and Franchise Business Review Top 50 Franchise.

CASH INVESTMENT: $220,360-$464,335 startup cash; $220,360-$464,335 total investment required. DreamMaker allows franchise owners to finance up to 70% of their franchise fee, if needed. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen franchise owners have tapped a variety of financing sources over the years — conventional loans, SBA loans, retirement loans and home equity loans, as well as unconventional funding sources. If you have some assets and a good credit rating, or maybe a decent remodeling business, we can help you get the loans you need to start a DreamMaker or convert an existing business.

TRAINING/SUPPORT: DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen franchisees will have a dedicated franchise coach that is there for them from the moment they sign a franchise agreement to the moment they close or sell their DreamMaker franchise. DreamMaker offers Next Level Groups, where franchisees are able to meet and learn from each other 2-3 times a year. We also offer support via webinars, coaching calls, peer groups, roundtable discussions, and annual events on the business systems we have in place for operations, marketing, accounting, and sales. A few of these include: Dedicated Marketing Support; Proven Sales System and Training to close sales; Production System and Training to provide a smooth customer experience in the home; Recruiting System and Portal to hire the right people; Two Events per Year where DreamMaker franchisees get together to learn the latest topics to excel in marketing, technology, production, sales, management, and networking with their fellow franchisees. Our systems and coaching allow franchisees to focus on growing their businesses quicker and more efficiently. DreamMaker’s systems form a template that new remodeling business owners can use to build a strong operation from the ground-up, and it’s also a template that has helped existing remodelers to increase their margins.

QUALIFICATIONS: To ensure this proper fit, we will engage in an 8-Step Mutual Evaluation Process. During this process, we take multiple opportunities to get to know you and your goals, both personally and professionally. This is also the time for you to get to know who we are and what we stand for. We work hard to make sure that we answer all of your questions so you can determine if DreamMaker could help you achieve the goals you have for your life and business, while learning if you’ll be a good fit for our culture and systems. Great Partnerships are a blessing, and these are the seven things we look for when we evaluate a potential DreamMaker owner: drive, heart, focus, coachability, willingness to follow systems, values, and support at home.

TYPE OF BUSINESS: The Raceway Story: A Different Way of Doing Business. RaceWay

operates as a Franchisor. Each of our locations are wholly owned by our parent company RaceTrac Petroleum Inc. RaceTrac owns the site, the building, and the gas facility. Franchisee income is driven by the profits earned from the inside sales of the store. RaceWay Franchisees are paid 1 cent per gallon fuel commission for every gallon of fuel pumped and it is truly a revenue center because RaceWay covers the credit card fees related to the fuel transaction. RaceWay’s fuel volume on a PSPW basis is above the NACs average. RaceWay creates a compelling gasoline environment through low fuel price to drive consumers to the pump; the Franchisee’s responsibility is to create a compelling inside offer to drive customers from the pump to purchase items inside the store. RaceWay collects rent and a flat royalty on the building, but collects no profits from inside store sales. This unique way of doing business allows you to run a multi-million dollar operation with a relatively low capital investment.

HISTORY: 217 franchised units; in business since 1934; franchising since 2018.

CASH INVESTMENT: $196,000-$560,000 startup cash; $196,000-$560,000 total investment required.

TYPE OF BUSINESS: Do you have experience in the restaurant, maintenance, or refrigeration equipment industry, or have experience in sales and marketing and want to own your own business? Here's your opportunity to become your own BOSS and build something that's all yours! Gasket Guy is the largest distributor and installer of commercial refrigeration gaskets in the US and Canada. You will be your own owner/operator, running your own business, with lots of support from our home office and experts who will have your back at every step. Why sell and install gaskets? Commercial refrigeration gaskets need to be replaced anywhere from every 3 months to a year depending on use. Torn gaskets can be a big problem, they lead to health and safety violations as well as high utility bills. The amount of refrigeration units in your market is mind boggling when you think of all the restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, schools, hotels, hospitals etc. that use commercial kitchen equipment. If you have been a restaurant or kitchen manager then you may already be well aware of the need for gaskets. Often, these customers use refrigeration repair companies that use OEM gaskets. These gaskets can be very expensive and can have a lead time of up to 4 weeks. Gasket Guy offers the customer a cost effective and faster alternative to this.

DIESEL BARBERSHOP

11255 Hubner Road, Suite 104, San Antonio, TX 78230 shayne.brown@dieselbarbershop.com http://www.dieselbarbershop.com

TYPE OF BUSINESS: After searching for years for something better, it finally occurred to me that I was literally going to have to build this dream barbershop from the ground up. An updated version of the corner barbershop that appeals to what today’s men and boys want in a haircut experience. Welcome to Diesel Barbershop, the result of a 20 plus year journey that included feathered hair, mullets, goatees and faux-hawks. The look and feel of Diesel Barbershop is part barbershop, part salon, part old school record

store, part mechanics garage, part tattoo shop, and part vintage arcade. A man-cave for great haircuts and an amazing overall haircut experience, if you will. We hope to see you soon and we thank you for your business.

HISTORY: 24 franchised units; 4 companyowned units; in business since 2011; franchising since 2017. Diesel Barbershop was born out of founder Shayne Brown’s experience growing up around his mother who worked in a hair salon, where he received a good, reliable cut every time in a clean shop – and with very little drama. Upon leaving his hometown, Shayne searched far and wide for a similar experience and instead, found bad service, terrible cuts, dirty environments, and indifferent attitudes. After working as a Financial Advisor and Real Estate Developer, he started conceptualizing Diesel. Diesel is the result of that 20+ year journey that included feathered hair, mullets, goatees, and faux hawks. The first Diesel Barbershop opened in 2011 in San Antonio, TX. It’s the modern-day version of the vintage corner barbershop, and appeals to what today’s customers want in a haircut experience: part barbershop, part old-school record store, and part arcade. In short, a barbershop with high quality haircuts, shaves, beard trims, waxing services, and shoulder massages. All done while having a beverage.

CASH INVESTMENT: $100,000 start-up cash; $322,014-$432,924 total investment required.

HISTORY: In business since 2019; franchising since 2021. What PorchPros is now, began in 1998 as Living Space Sunrooms. LivingSpace was created after hearing one too many stories of clients being saddled with one-size-fits-all sunrooms that did more harm than good. They decided that the one-size-fits-all type of service is not what they wanted to provide, so they developed a proprietary fabrication system that allows them to install fully custom materials that is achieved by taking pinpoint accurate measurements. It is from this experience in building custom sunrooms that a need for making porches more useful was born. To serve this need to provide more useful transitional spaces, the PorchPros brand was developed.

CASH INVESTMENT: $70,250 start-up cash required.

QUALIFICATIONS: The most important characteristic we seek in PorchPros franchise candidates is a true passion for customer service and business building.

TYPE OF BUSINESS: Spray-Net fuses science and technology by innovating and offering more affordable solutions to homeowners who are looking to renovate the exterior of their homes.

HISTORY: 95 franchised units; 1 companyowned unit; in business since 2010; franchising since 2014. After initially getting into the painting business as a student painting fences, founder and president Carmelo Marsala, wasn’t satisfied with the final product, which looked noticeably repainted and would eventually end up peeling. Since brand-new siding, doors and windows are painted in a factory, he knew if he could reproduce the same factory finish and durability on-site, then he would be on to something. And in March 2010, he launched Spray-Net!

TYPE OF BUSINESS: Kitchen Guard is a premier Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning (KEC) company - a highly fragmented industry with minimal competition. This new, B2B franchise differentiates itself in the marketplace by not just providing premier kitchen exhaust cleaning, but also providing proactive, consultative, and recurring services that are better than the competition. A vast majority of local independents and other competitors provide exhaust cleaning but only clean the lower 50% of the entire system, leaving significant revenue & service lines on the table. The Kitchen Guard mission is to provide its customers (restaurants, sports venues, universities - anywhere food is serviced out of a commercial kitchen) with a safe, sanitary, and healthy working environment. There is an incredibly large marketplace for its highquality cleaning and consultative services not only because they are professional and reliable, but because they are required– and therefore always in demand - by fire inspection code regulations (NFPA96). Truly, this new franchise is disrupting the commercial cleaning kitchen industry by providing exceptional, professional, and personalized customer service using state-ofthe-art technology that makes it easy and hassle-free to partner with.

Its business operations and sophisticated, proven sales and marketing strategies are now being franchised throughout the country by EverSmith Brands, a platform of strong and growing franchised B2B brands, uniquely focused on the Commercial Facilities Sector.

CASH INVESTMENT: $75,000 start-up cash; $173,700-$308,550 total investment required. This new B2B model franchise is poised for longterm growth providing professional services that are required by local, state and federal regulations. Its proven systems and support functions make this business-in-a-box an incredibly appetizing opportunity for aspiring owners. All franchisees pay a $49,000 franchise fee, royalties and a contribution to the national marketing fund (1%), and a $499 tech fee.

TRAINING/SUPPORT: Franchisees receive extensive local and digital marketing and sales support, including Sales Excellence, as well as business coaching, and other ongoing support. Not only will you join arms with and learn from other like-minded franchisees as the system grows, but each franchisee receives intensive 10day training to help you hit the ground running. The company also has an in-depth online Learn Management Software system filled with videos as well as an intranet online repository to easily find key operational and training procedures. Above all, Kitchen Guard has more than a dozen dedicated human resources across multiple disciplines to hand-hold franchisees.

QUALIFICATIONS: Entrepreneurs who love recurring-revenue models, building teams, and building something special. Minimum cash requirements include $75k in liquid and at least $250k in net worth.

Selected by Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the Standout Franchises in the Pest Control category of the Top 10 Franchise Trends for 2024. As a father with two children of my own, I truly believe that offering a natural deer, tick and mosquito control solution is the only way to go, says Kurt Upham, founder.

Not only is this method costly and inefficient, but it means more inconvenience for you and your family.

Today, Big Frog boasts over 75 thriving locations across the United States and Canada, with continuous growth and expansion.
