HEALTH & WELLNESS FRANCHISES:
Franchise Canada highlights health & wellness franchises that offer lifestyle coaching, supervised exercise, and massage services to the many individuals who’ve experience heightened stress and anxiety over the past year. This is a key sector for prospective franchisees to consider as they explore entrepreneurial options that make a real difference in their community. FITNESS FRANCHISES: It seems like staying in shape will never go out of style, which is why we spotlight fitness franchises across that country that provide specialized workout classes, kickboxing, yoga, and programs designed specifically for women. BEAUTY FRANCHISES: As Canadians anticipate seeing more of their friends and family following our return to the “new normal,” and look to practice self-care, they may turn to beauty franchises that offer services such as waxing and laser hair removal, lash extensions, retail beauty supplies, and more. HEALTHY FOOD FRANCHISES: Part of taking care of our well-being includes nourishing our bodies with good food. The quick service restaurants we explore provide healthy meals, juices, and snacks to help Canadians access nutritious options outside the home.
CHILDREN’S PRODUCTS & SERVICES
ACROSS CANADA: The demographic of Canadian children is quickly rising, and so are their needs for products and services. We examine franchises across Canada that offer daycare and education programs, haircuts, nutritional meals, and many more unique services for growing families.
HOW TO STAY HEALTHY AS A
BUSINESS OWNER: As we look to recover economically from the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s vital for small business owners to also recover from the mental and physical impacts of the past year. We feature tips and advice for how Canadians can stay healthy as business owners throughout any challenges that get thrown their way.
