Want to own your own business? Search this comprehensive list—there’s something for everyone here!

by TRACY STAPP HEROLD

Do you dream of owning your own business, but you’re not sure where to begin? This list just might be the answer. It’s a comprehensive collection of franchise opportunities in every category, all of which are actively interested in new franchisees. Buying a franchise gives you the chance to be in business for yourself but not by yourself. Franchisors have already developed a product or service, built a brand around it, found a market for it, and put together a successful business plan—and they’re now ready and willing to give you the tools and training to open your own location.

You’re sure to find a business that sparks your interest here, whether it’s a car wash, barbecue joint, flooring company, physical therapy studio, or any of the more than 1,500 other franchise opportunities listed. So dive in and discover all the ways that your entrepreneurial dreams can become a reality.

This list is not intended to endorse, advertise, or recommend a particular company, but it can serve as a useful starting point in your franchise journey. Before investing in any franchise, always do your own careful research: Consult with a lawyer and an accountant, read the company’s legal documents, and talk to as many existing and former franchisees as you can. All information listed on the following pages was provided by the companies and has not been verified for accuracy. We present this listing as a service to our readers.

THREE EXCITING THINGS AT…

We Sell Restaurants

We Sell Restaurants is a business brokerage serving clients looking to buy, lease, sell, or resell restaurants of all types. CEO Robin Gagnon shares the three things she’s excited about this year.

1 ▶ New technology!

“Earlier this year, we launched a proprietary new technology platform that has been a game changer for our franchisees, streamlining their workflow and what can be accomplished in a day.”

2 ▶ New hires!

“We recently made some strategic hires to lean into multiple technological advancements with new product offerings on the horizon.”

3 ▶ Virtual tours!

“We are proud to be the first in the business brokerage sector to offer 360-degree virtual tours. A recent success story comes from our Charlotte, North Carolina, franchisee, who worked with a group from Indianapolis. They were able to put a contract on a location without ever stepping foot inside.”

Mental Health Services, Franchised

The U.S. is facing a growing mental health crisis. Ellie Mental Health wants to be the solution. by CLINT

CARTER

Shortly after Ellie Mental Health started franchising in 2021, the company hosted its first discovery day at its very first clinic in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Four potential franchisees showed up. The next month, it was five people. And by month three—in October 2021—40 people and 17 groups came in looking to buy a territory.

Chris Pash, Ellie’s

senior vice president of growth and development, was floored—not just by how many people were interested in opening a therapy-based franchise business, but by how vulnerable they were with their personal stories.

“I would ask them, ‘Why Ellie? Why mental health?’” says Pash. “And they all would share these stories

There’s an opioid crisis, political and economic instability, and by-theminute war updates. Take your pick. Nine in 10 people say they believe the U.S. is suffering from a mental health crisis, according to a survey from KFF/CNN. And Ellie gives entrepreneurs a chance to help.

Pash doesn’t deny the good fortune of having the right product at the right time. But it takes more than that to make a sale, he says. One of Ellie’s major strengths is that it offers a third option for clinicians who’ve traditionally had to choose between opening a private practice or working in a big healthcare system.

As Pash explains it, with a private practice, clinicians must run the entire business on their own. And in healthcare systems, they’re basically paid labor with no say in how things operate. “Ellie sits in the middle, with the safety and security of a big organization and the freedom and flexibility of a small organization,” he says.

that were emotional and deep. They were really going deep in the first five minutes of meeting me.” They mentioned children who were unable to find anxiety support or cousins who’d attempted suicide. Those personal connections, says Pash, are how he knew Ellie was onto something big.

As you’ve surely noticed, it’s been a rough few years.

The pitch seems to be working. The company opened its first franchise location in July 2022. By the end of the year, it had 37, and the growth shows no sign of slowing. To date, Ellie has awarded more than 600 franchise units. It went from not even appearing on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list to topping more than 193 other brands. “It’ll be a busy couple of years for us,” Pash says. It turns out, there are a lot of people who want to help.

What’s the Real Damage?

Most clean-up companies just fix messes, like fire or flood damage. But 911 Restoration’s new CEO saw an opportunity to help with the other emergency they often encounter: customers’ emotional trauma. by KIM KAVIN

Miri Offir knows how to talk to people in crisis. After serving in the Israeli military, she came to the U.S. in 2003 and took a secretary job at the post-disaster recovery

Restoration, she already knew some changes she wanted to make. It had long bothered her that when people called the company, their experts stuck to “just the facts, ma’am”—even if the person was clearly traumatized. For example, a mom would call, sounding upset with babies next to her, and the 911 Restoration expert would only ask how many inches of water were in the house. Was this person cruel? No, Offir realized—they were just poorly trained.

Now, things are done differently. “Before, the training was very technical: how to do the job, what equipment to use,” she says. “Today, at least 50% is about the emotional damage.” Here, Offir explains how she’s teaching franchisees to connect on a deeper level.

When you began implementing changes to your training, how did you explain your philosophy to franchisees? It’s about seeing the other person. Put yourself in their shoes. Treat each other like we want to be treated. That’s the core values for me. You don’t have to be brilliant or have crazy, special skills to make a difference. All you have to do is care, and good things happen.

dive into the ins and outs of who we are serving. And we keep modifying.

Did you create messaging for addressing different types of customers?

Yes. When you talk to a facility manager or a property manager, we have different things that we say. We know that they have different pain points. And if it’s residential, and there’s a family with children involved, it’s a totally different issue than a business owner with a financial loss. If it’s residential, these are their personal belongings. They are in that house right now. Maybe it’s the kitchen or bathroom.

Was it hard to get some franchise owners into this new mindset?

You have some more crusty ones who have been in the business for years, and they think they know how it’s done. With these people, it takes more patience, maybe more conversations and visits. I tell them that I don’t know what I don’t know. If I’m starting a conversation in that manner, they see that their opinions are valued. I think that’s really the core of it, and so far, it’s working out pretty well.

franchise 911 Restoration. She worked her way up—eventually becoming the company’s CEO in 2022, now overseeing 336 units.

So when Offir stepped into a leadership role at 911

Were there certain techniques you put in place to help franchisees assess emotional damage? We went through recorded calls, some good and some not so good. And we created profiles of people. Maybe it’s a homeowner—a husband and wife with children. What are their pain points? How do they react? How would water damage affect them? What about a business owner? What happens when his business is closed? We

Has this empathetic approach led to an increase in business?

At first, we saw a small increase in volume. But then, we started to see the reviews we were getting online. Customers are feeling that empathy. A while ago, a big real-estate company emailed to say they always reach out to restoration companies with complaints. But they wanted to give us a compliment on our communication.

THREE EXCITING THINGS AT…

Gigglewaters

Gigglewaters is a 1920s-themed restaurant, bar, and movie theater, combining classic films with food and drinks. Founder and CEO Rachel Fine Wilson shares the three things she’s excited about this year.

1 ▶ Restaurants are back!

“The return of full-service restaurants has been incredible. On a Friday or Saturday night, we can run up to a two-hour wait. While quick-service restaurants focus on transactions, full-service is about building relationships.”

2 ▶ Expansion!

“We’ve just sold our first franchise. It’s exhilarating to connect with the trailblazers who will collaborate with our founders to build something remarkable from the ground up.”

3 ▶ Cinema Supper Series!

“Recently we launched our Cinema Supper Series, where we follow the exact food cues of the film we’re showing, for a curated 10-course culinary event. This series has become a highlight of our brand and continues to draw national attention.”

WHY HUNTINGTON?

• Low initial investment starting at $163,521

• Over 45% higher 2023 average revenue than our closest competitor

• Nearly 50 years as an industry leader

• $5 billion industry and projected to grow to $18 billion by 2028

Dog-Training

This Dog-Training Franchise Is Zooming Ahead

After a rough few years, Zoom Room made major changes...and has emerged as a stronger, faster, very well-behaved business. by CLINT CARTER

Zoom Room expected to have 45 total locations open by the end of 2023. It hit more than 60. That growth caps an incredible turnaround story.

Zoom Room’s past troubles are notorious. Shortly after it started franchising in 2009, the company made some bad deals. It was “picking the wrong franchisees and growing without a plan,” says Mark

Van Wye, who was the company’s COO at the time.

In 2016, the year Van Wye took over as CEO, the franchise had just 10 locations— down from 14 the year prior. So his first act was to implement a two-year moratorium on sales of new franchised locations. He used the hiatus to build out the support team, bring on a VC partner, and improve unit economics.

Eventually, the company started growing again. And Van Wye’s ambitions kept pace. “We really want to jump to 500 [locations] and then 2,000,” he says. “Our goal is to make Zoom Rooms synonymous with dog training.”

To accomplish that, he looked at what slows a new franchise down. The big one was real estate negotiations. Landlords, permits, and

franchisees and cause them to bleed money just as their

architects, contractors, and

says Van Wye. “You’ve got a little bit of payroll, two staff

out, the company’s footprint will expand rapidly over the coming years. The signs are pointing in the right direction: It has 25 stores that will launch by the end of 2024, and the company’s own CFO signed on to open a dozen Zoom Rooms himself.

Shifts like these are noticeable—which is why, when Entrepreneur crunched the numbers for its annual Franchise 500 ranking, Zoom Room was one of the industry’s biggest winners. It was No. 464 on 2023’s list, and sped ahead to No. 275 on 2024’s list.

“Everything is going according to plan,” says Van Wye. “This is what we built Zoom Room to do.”

THREE EXCITING THINGS AT…

Dave’s Hot Chicken

Dave’s Hot Chicken is a fast-growing purveyor of chicken tenders and sliders, with heat levels ranging from “no spice” to “reaper.”

CEO Bill Phelps shares the three things he’s excited about this year.

1 ▶ Increased marketing!

“Our franchisees overwhelmingly voted late last year to increase the national spending rate by 50%. This forward-thinking vote gives us the marketing muscle we need to compete effectively, while providing a great return for franchisees.”

2 ▶ International expansion!

“We have expanded into Canada, UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. We also have plans to open multiple locations in the UK early next year. Most importantly, our partner in the Middle East says that in a challenging business environment, Dave’s is performing incredibly well.”

3 ▶ Changed lives!

“The most exciting thing is that our incredible growth is allowing us to transform the lives of people in our organization. People who were once cashiers are now district managers, and numerous officers of our company are now franchisees.”

What Are a Franchisee’s Role and Responsibilities?

If you’re going to be a franchisee, you should know exactly what’s expected of you.

by JEFF CHEATHAME

Franchising is built on strict adherence to mandated systems and operational controls. These include specific roles and responsibilities for franchisors and franchisees.

Most simply: Franchisors are the brand. They grant licenses to franchisees to do business under the brand’s name and trademark. When a franchisee signs a franchise agreement, it’s crucial that they abide by their expected role and responsibilities to uphold the name and standards of the brand.

presentation, and protocols.

In essence, the franchisee’s job is to “color inside the lines,” and failure to do so could jeopardize the franchise agreement. The franchisee needs to sell the product or service according to the franchise’s provided standards, which increases the likelihood of keeping the business successful and financially viable.

A franchisee also assumes the role of being a consumerfacing representative of the brand. They must put in the time and effort to own and operate a successful business, with a constant focus on meeting sales goals, expansion, and new opportunities. In franchising’s tried and true “hub-and-spoke’’ business model (in which the franchisor is the hub, and the individual franchisees are the spokes), the role of all franchisees requires them to report to the franchisor as well as collaborate with their peer group of franchisees.

The franchisee’s responsibilities

Here’s what anyone hoping to enter this ecosystem needs to know about being a franchisee.

The franchisee’s role

Franchisees must adhere to a long list of demands related to owning and operating a licensed business, and not everyone is cut out for it. The role requires operating strictly within the confines of the brand’s proven business model, and remaining in compliance with the franchisor’s recommended procedures— which extend to systems,

train others and ensure that they possess a complete understanding of how the business functions. Franchisees may also be responsible for pooling money toward co-op advertising, marketing, and promotions to fund outreach that attracts consumer interest in the brand’s product or service.

When it comes to representing the brand, it is a franchisee’s responsibility to continually protect and defend the brand’s reputation, avoiding any behavior or activities that could potentially harm the franchisor’s standing.

First and foremost, franchisees are responsible for purchasing and funding the franchise, though franchisors may offer financing or recommend third-party financing providers. Costs associated with franchise ownership include the initial franchise fee, associated costs to elevate the business, ongoing capital, and recurring royalty payments. Franchisees are also responsible for comprehending the franchise’s business model and operating the business in accordance with the franchisor’s operations manual.

Additionally, franchisees are also expected to attend the brand’s mandatory training sessions, which provide the knowledge necessary to

With the guidance and assistance of the franchisor, franchisees are also responsible for attracting and building a customer base, while generating revenue in line with the brand’s benchmarks for success. If required, franchisees must participate in validation sessions and attend organizational meetings, conferences, and annual corporate retreats.

Lastly, the franchisee may be required to provide timely financial reporting on all business activities, so that the brand can track individual unit progress and profitability.

The roles and responsibilities of individual franchisees are designed to ensure their operations run smoothly and in accordance with the franchisor’s proven business model. Though owners may come from different backgrounds and stages of their lives, the obligations, roles, and responsibilities inherent to being a franchisee are designed to ensure the success of the franchise brand that they represent.

THREE EXCITING THINGS AT…

Mountain Mike’s Pizza

For more than 45 years, Mountain Mike’s Pizza has been serving up slices to families throughout the western U.S. CEO Jim Metevier shares the three things he’s excited about this year.

1 ▶ Innovative flavors!

“We’re introducing an array of exciting menu items this fall. From a globally inspired pizza flavor to new flavors of our tasty, zesty wings, there will be something new for all adventurous palettes to enjoy.”

2 ▶ Expansion!

“By year’s end, Mountain Mike’s will surpass 300 restaurants, with another 100-plus under development across 15 states.”

3 ▶ A key partnership!

“For the past six years, we have proudly been the official pizza of the San Francisco 49ers, and we recently re-signed for another three years, underscoring our longstanding commitment to families, sports fans, and communities. The most important aspect of this partnership is the opportunity to charitably support families and kids, which is core to our brand and values.”

CLOSER LOOK

This Fencing Franchise Is Ready for Growth

Growth

Superior Fence & Rail nearly doubled its sales in one year. How? By stepping back and focusing on fundamentals.

by CLINT CARTER

Early in the pandemic, Zach Peyton, president of Superior Fence & Rail, met with Franchise FastLane, a firm that helps increase franchise sales.

Peyton wanted to recruit new franchisees, but Franchise FastLane posed a roadblock by asking: Could Superior Fence & Rail handle the growth?

Peyton wanted to say yes,

but he couldn’t. Pandemicrelated supply-chain disruptions all but guaranteed any new franchisees he signed would end up sitting in an empty warehouse that should be full of fencing.

He could have tried waiting out the supply-chain problems. Instead, he put his energy where it would have the most impact: Although he couldn’t recruit franchisees,

Franchise FastLane, that rock-star support team was ready. This time, Peyton said he could handle the growth. So in 2022, Superior Fence & Rail added 45 new franchise locations and nearly doubled its systemwide sales, finishing the year at $107 million. Last year, it added another 30 locations, and sales jumped again, this time to $185 million.

Numbers like these can turn heads... and raise rankings. Just look at how it rose in Entrepreneur’s annual Franchise 500 ranking. In 2023, the brand ranked No. 346; in 2024, it was No. 179.

Rapid growth can be hard to manage, but by building an A-list support team ahead of time, Peyton increased the odds that every new franchisee had all the corporate support they needed. And with everything now in place, he can think about the company’s next phase.

There aren’t many franchise territories left to sell, so the coming years will be about increasing sales among existing franchisees. “It’s all going to come from our team helping our franchisees succeed,” he says.

he could build a bigger support team to ensure his future recruits would hit their numbers at record pace.

So that’s what he did. In its early years, Superior Fence & Rail operated with a support team of three. But in recent years, it has grown to 14. “And I’ve recruited some rock stars,” he says.

When the time came to get back in the room with

For 2024, Superior Fence & Rail is planning more aggressive national advertising, and will build out new growth tools and efficiency solutions. Its support team has already begun to pivot from onboarding to what Peyton calls “proactive support.”

He explains, “We’re helping the franchisees run through their business from end to end and saying, ‘Hey, here’s your scorecard. You’re struggling here, here, here, and here. Now how can we help you?’”

3 Steps to Find Your Perfect Franchise

There are many brands out there. Finding the right one is up to you. by RAY TITUS

You’ve decided to take your career to the next level by buying a franchise. Now what? With more than 3,000 franchise brands in the United States, how do you find the one for you?

The answer is a balance between objective performance indicators and gut-level instinct. Before you begin, write a list of your wants, your needs, and your budget, as well as the things you’re good at and enjoy doing versus those you’re not good at and hate doing.

You don’t have to do all of this alone—nor should you. Plan to have a team behind you: a broker (if you’re buying an existing location) with a lawyer and an accountant when you’re in the final stages. But in the end, you will be one of your own most critical resources when researching

business in the past to succeed in a franchise, but the more you know about the company and industry you’re eyeing, the more successful you will likely be. And the less experienced or knowledgeable you are, the more critical it will be to identify people you can turn to for the answers you don’t have.

▶ Research the company and industry. There are a wide variety of resources available to you—like Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500, a franchise brand’s website, and a brand’s social media and online reviews. But you should dig deeper too.

with the brand. Has the company provided adequate training and support? Does it seem to care about its franchisees? And the bottom line: Knowing what they know now, would they do it again?

If you’re interested in the company, make sure it has resources for training, setup, and ongoing support. You should expect detailed guidance on choosing and setting up your location, thorough training for your team, and networking opportunities to learn from vendors and fellow franchisees.

the franchise opportunity that could change your life.

1 ▶ Start with yourself. Before anything else, ask yourself the following questions: Why do I want to own a franchise? Can I really see myself doing this? If you’re in this to get rich quickly, look elsewhere. Prosperity should be your goal, but you should know it will take a lot of hard work to get there. If your aim is to have more control over your career by running your own business, consider whether you’re ready to be the boss in difficult times, like when sales are slow or the team isn’t performing. Does owning a franchise still seem like a good fit?

Do I know enough about this industry to buy into it? You don’t necessarily have to have run a restaurant, a sign-making company, or any

Seek out franchises that have a history of success and strategic growth. A franchise that isn’t adding locations and attracting new franchisees is just another business with multiple venues. Check out the market for the product or service, including growth opportunities. If a franchise brand doesn’t have a clear plan for where (and where not) to place new locations, it may not be the best choice. The brand should also be willing to share backup materials for its earnings claims.

Once you’ve identified a franchise of interest, attend the franchise’s Discovery Day, during which prospective franchisees explore the brand to learn more about it. Plan for the day by getting the agenda and learning whom you’ll be meeting with. Prepare three to five questions for each person, to get a good feel for the company and its culture.

Ask the franchise to connect you with franchisees. Meet with a local representative and visit existing locations of the franchise and its competitors. The brand should be willing to let you speak to owners without a corporate chaperone. Ask the owners about their experience

3 ▶ Be willing to walk away. You’ll be sinking a significant amount of your money, time, and heart into this investment, so don’t rush it—and it’s OK to drop a prospect that doesn’t look or feel right at any time. At my company, United Franchise Group, we prepare for that possibility by making our deposit fully refundable before the final signing, in case the applicant isn’t comfortable with the marketing, location, or lease before they commit to ownership. The last thing we want is a franchisee in a business they don’t like.

Of all the factors to look for as you research, the overarching one should be the franchise’s support and respect for you as a potential owner. You should get a sense that the brand is out for more than a cut of your revenue and is there to help you succeed. While you’re investing in the franchise, the franchise should be investing in you—setting you up for success, which deepens their success.

Koala Insulation

Part of the Empower Brands family of franchises, Koala Insulation offers customers a variety of insulation installation and related services. President Cory Lyons three things he’s excited about this year.

1 ▶ International expansion!

“Koala Insulation is expanding internationally with the opening of its first location in Canada set for September. This makes us the first U.S.-based insulation franchise to have an international footprint.”

2

▶ New ad campaign!

“We launched our first national television ad campaign in August. [Past studies have shown that] 90% of homes are under-insulated, yet most Americans don’t think about their insulation needs. With our campaign, we want to bring that fact and more to the public eye.”

3

▶ National partnerships!

“Koala Insulation has become the preferred insulation partner with multiple companies in various fields, including pest control, home restoration, handyman services, and big-box retail.”

This Doughnut Franchise Is Hitting the Road

To grow, DonutNV needed a steady supply of delivery trailers. So last year, it started making them itself.

by CLINT CARTER

DonutNV is known for its hot mini doughnuts. It is not especially known for the trailers it produces at its 31,000-square-foot factory in Georgia. But those trailers have become the key to its business.

Here’s why.

DonutNV is a mobile operation, with franchisees selling doughnuts out of trailers at corporate events, gradua-

tions, and so on. The brand once relied on trailers purchased from third-party vendors—but in February 2023, shortly after it ramped up its sales operations, it foresaw a problem: What if the brand recruited franchisees faster than trailers were available? “It was kind of a necessity,” says Alex Gingold, DonutNV’s cofounder.

So now, DonutNV can

assemble custom-made trailers on its own schedule and have them delivered—which is both useful for newcomers and helps existing franchisees scale.

But this isn’t just about speed. For instance, the manufacturing allowed DonutNV to back its trailers up with in-house warranties and test out small changes that improve the delivery time. (DonutNV’s typical trans-

action occurs in about 45 seconds, says Gingold—or faster if it’s serving at a prepaid catering event.)

Ultimately, the company wants to build a culture of innovation that grabs every opportunity for improvement. “We’re really proud of our product, but we’re constantly looking to make it better,” says Gingold. “I think that’s the general nature of any entrepreneur.”

One of the trailer’s most notable features is the LED-lit viewing window that lets customers watch from inches away as rings of dough float down a lazy river of bubbling oil, frying to their caramel-colored glory before the mechanized flippers sling them into the drip pan. But that kind of behind-thescenes visibility means the machines must be kept sparkling clean. To that end, DonutNV recently implemented an easier way to drain used oil from the doughnut machines, which cuts down on the emptying time.

Small changes like this help the company improve its product even as it continues to rapidly expand its footprint. And it’s making a difference. DonutNV didn’t even rank in Entrepreneur’s 2023 Franchise 500, the definitive ranking of franchise brands. In 2024, however, DonutNV rocketed into the No. 298 spot. That made it one of the ranking’s biggest positive movers.

“We’re consistently opening eight to 10 units a month,” says Gingold. “It’s explosive growth, and we’ve been able to do that because we brought everything in-house and we’re managing it ourselves.”

FRANCHISE 101

A Quick Guide to Franchise Ownership Costs

Franchising costs money. Here’s what everything means. by CLARISSA BUCH ZILBERMAN

Once you’ve settled on the right franchise brand for you, it’s time to run the numbers— from one-time costs to all the associated fees that come with buying and operating a franchise day-to-day.

There are many costs unique to franchising that every franchisee-to-be should be aware of. While these fees will be clearly outlined in the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) that you are required to review before buying the franchise, it’s best to know

responsible for developing and maintaining its business model, training you, and providing you with a support system. This fee helps the franchisor recoup some of those costs.

Royalty fees

Royalty fees are ongoing payments—often weekly, monthly, or quarterly—to the franchisor. Typically, they’re a percentage of your gross sales. Royalty fees enable the franchisor to continue to support your business through an ever-evolving roster of training, marketing, and product development services. Because royalty fees are calculated differently by every franchise, it’s important to understand what you’ll be responsible for and what you’ll receive in return. For instance, royalty fees can be a regularly paid flat rate for the life of your franchise, or they can be tiered, meaning your payment percentage decreases as your sales increase.

Training and support fees

what these terms mean right from the start.

Franchise fees

One of the biggest perks of franchising is buying into the company’s preexisting model, business method, and support systems—not to mention the right to use its trademark. To do that, you must pay what’s called a franchise fee. These fees differ from franchise to franchise, but they are typically a one-time payment.

What exactly are you paying for? The franchisor is

gross sales, paid regularly to the franchisor to contribute to its overall advertising fund.

Advertising fees contribute to building brand recognition and attracting new customers to the entire franchise system. As a franchisee, you should understand what type of campaigns you can expect to see as a result of your payments—and know that these advertisements are for the brand as a whole, not individual locations.

Equipment, inventory, and technology fees

Some franchisors charge these fees in addition to the initial franchise fee and ongoing royalty fees—for both the training needed before your business opens as well as continuous training, education, and support as your business evolves. If your franchisor does not charge these fees separately, then they’re most likely included in one of the two aforementioned fees.

Advertising fees

Franchisors need capital to operate their national commercial, social media, billboard, and even paper-mail ad campaigns. Similar to royalty fees, advertising fees are usually a percentage of your

Depending on the industry and franchise, you might need to purchase specific technology, equipment, or inventory from the franchisor or their approved suppliers. This can include everything from point-ofsale systems to uniforms to food products. It’s difficult to estimate how much these costs will be and how frequently you will need to pay them, because they vary depending on the industry and the franchisor’s requirements—so be sure to ask about them.

Legal fees

Finally, you’ll need to hire an attorney to review the franchise agreement and advise you on any potential legal issues or concerns that you might be responsible for as time goes on. This can be a significant expense, depending on how complex the franchise agreement is and what the lawyer’s rate is, but working with an experienced franchise attorney can help you navigate the franchise agreement and protect your interests as you begin your journey.

1 ▶ New leadership!

“As the new president of Pool Scouts, I am thrilled to join this dynamic team and elevate our brand to new heights. My career has been dedicated to working with diverse business owners, and I am eager to leverage that experience to accelerate Pool Scouts’ momentum.”

2 ▶ Giving back!

“We’ve just concluded our May fundraiser for the Hope Floats Foundation, raising $22,000 to fund 1,000 swim lessons for underprivileged children.”

3 ▶ Growth!

“We recently welcomed our first franchisee in Pennsylvania, expanding our reach to over 70 territories across 17 states. Together, we’re poised for remarkable growth and success within the $7 billion pool service industry.”

She was passionate about the environment, so she was drawn to Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions. The comwhich has 127 franchisees in 348 territories, cleans fryers in commercial kitchens and filters impurities from their cooking oil so it lasts longer, swaps out the oil when it’s spent, and recycles oil for use in biofuels. Gardner used the money from her 401(k) to buy two territories on Long Island. Six months later, she was getting so much business that her husband quit his job to join her. Now the couple owns six territories. Here, she shares what the transition was like— and why the risk was worth it.

Why’d you decide to cash out your 401(k)?

It was terrifying. I thought, If I don’t get another job that I deserve, and I can’t keep padding my 401(k), then it’s really not enough to retire on anySo why not roll the dice? I didn’t want to have loans. I wanted the first year [of the franchise] to be fully paid for, so we could jump in and run—and that’s what we did.

Making the Midlife Leap

After getting laid off in her early 50s, Keri Gardner decided she wanted to control her own fate—so she bought a franchise with her 401(k).

by KIM KAVIN

Sometimes, building the life you want requires a big risk. That’s what Keri Gardner realized when she cashed in $100,000 of her retirement savings to buy a franchise. It was November 2020, and she had just been

laid off from her executive role at a health company. A franchise recruiter called her and asked, “Do you want to work for anybody else?”

Gardner replied, “Absolutely not. I work really hard. I want to do it for me.”

all the soybeans. We take oil out of the fryers to be processed into biofuel, so it can be used in planes and things like that. It’s double revenue and double environmental impact.

How hard is the work?

We’re filtering all the impurities out of the oil, and we’re vacuuming all the crumbs and junk out of the bottom of the fryers, so you have more consistent quality for cooking for a longer time. It is hard work. It’s not for the faint of heart. The equipment is heavy, and you’re moving this equipment in and out of places using loading docks. But my husband tells all the guys who work for us that his 56-year-old wife is outworking them right now.

Who are your clients?

How did you find Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions?

I worked with a franchise coach. He asked what I was interested in, and I said the environment. I also looked at mobile dog grooming because I love dogs, but there are a lot of mobile dog groomers out there, and nobody was doing this oil filtering on Long Island.

How does it help the environment to filter oil from a restaurant’s fryers? Instead of just dumping oil and getting rid of it, we’re saving so many things. We’re saving on the plastic jugs. On fertilizer. On all the farming of

During the pandemic, we went after the big guys because everything else was shut down. Filta has contracts with companies that run arenas and stadiums: UBS Arena, Citifield, Hofstra University. Once those guys get to know you, and they know you’re here, the sale isn’t as hard as you think. You just have to get the right person to talk to.

Do you plan to keep the focus solely on those larger clients?

We’re trying to build out more of the smaller businesses now. If something happens to one thing, you want to have yourself covered with something else. If I’m going after smaller accounts, they’re probably right near my bigger accounts, so it just makes the route more profitable.

THREE EXCITING THINGS AT…

Accelerated Waste Solutions

Accelerated Waste Solutions franchisees offer valet trash collection for apartments and bulk junk removal. Vice president of franchise development Todd Leonard shares the three things he’s excited about this year.

1 ▶ New technology!

“We are launching a new operations management and marketing app-based platform for our franchisees. During testing, our corporate teams experienced increased efficiency, customer satisfaction, and revenue growth.”

2 ▶ Growth from within!

“Over 45% of owners are expanding into additional territories. That has me excited for the future of our company, with so many proven and successful owners doubling or even tripling down on the brand.”

3 ▶ Needs-based opportunities!

“We have been able to adapt to market conditions, good and bad. From services like valet trash adding a needed amenity to apartment complexes, to clearing out large retail locations after closure, we are positioned to thrive in any economy.”

The Better Way to Fail

The next time something you do flops, here’s a new way to learn from it.

by JASON FEIFER

When things go wrong, ask yourself this question: Did I just run an accidental experiment?

The answer might be yes. And once you realize this, you’ll feel a lot better.

Because here’s the thing: Mistakes suck. But the “accidental experiment” concept completely reframes them. It gives you something to ponder, explore, and learn from.

I stumbled into this idea recently after messing something up and feeling awful—until a friend helped me see the benefits of disaster.

Here was the scene of the failure: I’d organized a webinar for some of my newsletter subscribers (join at jasonfeifer.com/news-

letter). My friend Richelle DeVoe was hosting; she’s a consumer psychology expert, and was teaching the art of interviewing customers. Lots of planning went into this, and we met on Zoom for a 60-minute call.

Attendance was great. Richelle was great. And then, 40 minutes in...poof! The Zoom room closed, everyone was kicked out, and I panicked. How could this happen?! What a terrible experience!

I did the only thing I could think of: I re-clicked the original Zoom link. Almost everyone else did the same thing. The webinar was back, and we continued for another 20 minutes. (Later, I learned what happened: My credit card had expired, so

Zoom defaulted me to the free version—where calls can’t go past 40 minutes.)

After it ended, I called Richelle to apologize for the interruption—but Richelle didn’t think it was bad at all! “It was like an accidental experiment,” she told me. “When the call got cut off, you got to see how many people were truly engaged and willing to come back—and almost all of them did. That’s very high retention!”

I laughed. It’s true. Then I thought, OMG, what a brilliant way to learn from mistakes. Think of an “accidental experiment” like this: When something goes wrong, you get to see the results of something you wouldn’t have normally done.

For example, let’s say I wanted

to know how engaged people were on my Zoom calls. This is hard to test! I could track how long they stay on the call, but what if they’re bored and checking their email? I could survey them after calls, but that’s tedious and prone to error. I could literally cut the call off in the middle and see who comes back, but no, that’s a terrible user experi—

Whoops, it just happened. That sucks. But now I get to see the results!

Many great scientific discoveries are made by accident because we can’t (or ethically won’t) set them in motion ourselves. We know it’s wrong to harm people just to see how we can heal them, for example. But when mistakes are made and people are harmed, we have an opportunity to study our bodies and discover new cures.

So much can go wrong in entrepreneurship. Our efforts can fail. Our relationships can fracture. Our time can be wasted. Our egos can be bruised.

But in each case, as we face the challenges of the moment, it is worth asking: If this was an experiment, what is being tested? And what was discovered?

Because I’m telling you—something is always being tested. And some result is being uncovered.

Maybe your product launch didn’t work, or a pitch didn’t go well, or an idea didn’t land. Maybe you were laid off, or a partnership fell apart. In all these cases, you had a hypothesis—but something else happened instead. Now you’re in uncharted territory, learning the things you didn’t set out to learn. Those may be the best lessons of them all.

Nothing we do has a guaranteed outcome, which means that everything we do is an experiment. We won’t always succeed, but we can always learn. And when we test our own resilience, that’s an experiment worth running.
