welcome NOTES

New beginnings. A New Year. New Horizons. The endless possibilities that are in front of all of us. Our January issue celebrates the emerging brands of franchising. The entrepreneurs who embody the best of America (and beyond) who’s vision and determination has the potential to change the world. The breakthroughs that have increased the quality of life over time have all started with one person seeing something that everyone else missed. From the wheel to the steam engine to the internet all of these breakthroughs started with a question “Why not?"

Focusing that same “Why not?” to the world of franchising has brought breakthroughs like

food on the go, auto services or medical care that comes to you. From saving time and money while getting your hair colored to ensuring that your home is protected during a disaster, franchise visionaries have stepped up to bring services that we know we needed but weren’t able to address for ourselves.

This is where America shines. In the creation of solutions to answer almost any need.

For years, a grim statistic has plagued the world of small business entrepreneurship: roughly 20% of small businesses fail within the first year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

But new consumer trends as well as an uptick in entrepreneurship based on recent unprecedented events may usher in a new era of support for the small business economy. Americans are supporting small shops at record rates–and if you are a franchisee that offers a needed service, you can capitalize on the 25 Trillion US economy by focusing on one simple fact “offer a better product or service to your community and you can succeed”

The after-affects of COVID-19 had an extreme impact on small businesses. While many businesses of all sizes and across all industries suffered, it’s no secret that many small businesses thrived. At first, the COVID-19 virus sparked a state of emergency that caused many shoppers to rely on online orders and same-day delivery. Many small businesses simply could not keep up or replenish inventory, while some struggled to match everyone’s preferences for rush deliveries. Brick-and-mortar stores and restaurants were forced to shutter for months.

But there’s good news for the small businesses that have survived, the efficiencies they were forced to learn are paying dividends. From the passage of the Paycheck Protection Program bill to the Independent Restaurant Coalition, many campaigns and new programs raised awareness about the plight of small business owners, encouraging consumers to proactively support small businesses. In addition, the Darwinian effect of being able to survive through crisis now

has more demand being applied to less supply. Staying power in business is the not so secret root of success.

While many fear Amazon, and rightly so as it accounts for nearly 40% of the total US e-c. These areas are where savvy entrepreneurs are focusing their efforts. With all the signs pointing to more turbulence in the market, there will be many opportunities to focus those efforts.

The Chinese word for crisis is Wei Ji 危机 Wei means crisis while Ji means opportunity. In ancient Chinese philosophy, opportunities often arise from crisis. We certainly saw that during the pandemic with the many property services business that thrived while people were stuck at home. What opportunities are out there for small business in the coming year? It is imperative for entrepreneurs to think about what is needed and what is resilient. Where will consumers look to save money, time or through necessity reach a required outcome?

Shop local. Franchises are local businesses owned by people from your community who support the little league, buy Girl Scout cookies and employ the people who live around you. With the support and systems of franchisors harnessing the power of a network of committed franchise entrepreneurs, the benefits are greater than they have ever been to be in business for yourself but not by yourself. That is the beauty of franchising.

Thank you for your continued readership and sharing Franchise Journal with your friends!

Let 2023 shine forth like a beacon for entrepreneurship and franchising!

Prepare to See Stars

by Seth Lederman, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

People opt to pursue a franchise business for many different reasons. Some do it because they like the security of buying into a proven business model. Others opt to become franchise owners because of the builtin support and training that the franchisor offers to them. Still, others choose a franchise because they have a passion for a particular brand or area of business.

Suppose you are a member of the final group. In that case, you may be seeking a franchise that plays into a particular passion in your life—helping others, improving someone’s home, bettering health and well-being, or teaching new skills, among many other possibilities. No matter your motivation, there are many franchise options to choose from in the U.S. and worldwide. And new franchise options are emerging all the time. In 2022, the number of U.S. franchises was estimated at more than 790,000.

TEACHING NEW SKILLS

If your passion lies in teaching new skills, particularly to the younger generation, an emerging franchise to consider is Soccer Star. Founded in New York, Soccer Stars is a proven franchise system that is part of a veteran franchisor group, Youth Athletes United. Since 2000, Soccer Stars has grown

across America, fulfilling its mission to positively impact kids through soccer.

Soccer is the number one sport in the world, and Soccer Stars offers a way for its franchisees to empower kids and change lives through its 100% mobile franchise model.

Benefits of partnering with Soccer Stars include:

• Low up-front investment of less than $50,000

• Minimal fixed expenses

• High top-line revenue opportunity

• Multiple revenue streams

• Year-round classes

• A minimum of 500 square feet required

Best of all, you don’t have to be

athletic! Soccer Stars franchise owners share a love of sports and have prior experience working with children.

CARING FOR OTHERS

The population of Americans 65 and up grew by more than a third between 2010 and 2020, with the total number projected to double by 2060 to 95 million people. Typically, franchises that can tap into the changing needs of this population set themselves up for a recession-proof

opportunity. Home care needs will expand as more Americans wish to age in place, making franchise businesses that provide home health care a solid return on your investment. Additionally, adjacent franchises, such as companies that provide mobility aids or even businesses that help seniors manage that process when they transition out of their homes, have good odds of success.

Opportunities abound in this area of franchising. Many do not require a background in health care, simply a desire to help seniors and their families navigate the changes and needs that arise with age.

PRACTICING SELF-CARE

Another area of franchising that is gaining by leaps and bounds is businesses focused on wellness and self-care. The IFA’s 2022 report highlighted this, predicting personal care franchise establishments will increase by an additional 3.1%. Under the personal care umbrella is a range of options, from gyms to pilates studios, nail salons to massage services. While the pandemic presented challenges for many of these types of services, it also allowed many to pursue product lines that allowed them to weather the shutdown.

Once businesses started reopening, people returned

to you or you prefer more established opportunities, there is a franchise business for just about anyone. The key is determining your needs and goals and selecting the franchisor that best meets those.

That is where working with a seasoned professional can help. A franchise advisor works to open your eyes to the possibilities of franchise ownership. They are not there to sell you a franchise. In fact, they work for you, not the franchisor and are focused on providing you with the tools you need to make an intelligent decision and achieve your business dreams.

IMPROVING HOMES

Another area of franchising that boomed during the pandemic is home improvement. People’s homes continue to be a place they are willing to invest in, especially after they spend so much time in them! The American economy may have shrunk by 3.5% in 2020, but home repair and improvement spending grew by almost the same amount during that year.

Potential franchisees are wise to consider a company that fits into this category. From handyman services to roofing, lawn care to interior decorating—franchises that revolve around all aspects of our homes offer many opportunities for entrepreneurs.

— Les Brown

quickly and in large numbers. Not only did this prove that people view multiple forms of self-care as essential, but it would also appear that the realities of the pandemic shifted their priorities even more to taking care of their own physical and mental health via self-care.

For too long, people only thought of fast-food restaurants when they heard the word franchise. Today, it is more and more apparent that the world of franchising is vast and offers entrepreneurs many options to pursue their dreams of owning their own businesses. Whether one of the emerging areas discussed above appeals

“SHOOT FOR THE MOON AND IF YOU MISS YOU WILL STILL BE AMONG THE STARS."

Trailblazing: Traci Hawkins of Beauty Bungalows

by Greg Tuthill, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

how she built her brand, what it took to get there, and what the vision is moving forward for this exciting business.

Traci grew up in the small country town of Oakdale, in Central California. There, she grew up riding and caring for horses and living the country life. This taught her discipline and responsibility. Even at a young age, Traci knew she wanted to do something big! So she set off to Southern California to make it happen in 2004. Now 37, and with several locations slated to open across four states, Traci is well on her way to making those dreams a reality.

ABOUT YOU, WHAT IS YOUR BACKGROUND? HOW DID YOU GET TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

Women have had to overcome centuries of biases to be where they are right now. The world of business has long been an industry dominated by men. Over the last several decades, we’ve seen a steady rise of women entrepreneurs. According to the latest

estimates, almost a third of all business owners are women. This is a testament that women are not only as competitive and capable as their male counterparts, but in many cases, they far exceed them.

We will be featuring the trailblazing entrepreneur Traci Hawkins, Owner and CEO of Beauty Bungalows and discuss;

I started off going to school for nursing and realized I wanted something different. I got a job for T3 Micro. I have been in the hair industry since 2004. I started going to hair shows all over the US for T3 micro selling hair tools. With meeting and being around salon professionals, I realized I had passion for the hair industry and decided to go to cosmetology school. I have been a hairstylist since I

graduated from Paul Mitchell in 2006. I worked in a salon right after graduating, learning the ins and outs of owning a salon starting with being a receptionist and assistant while having my own chair and building my clientele. In 2011, I opened my first 13 chair traditional salon, Porcelain Hair Studio. Two years later I decided to start my own hair extensions line to sell out of my salon, Porcelain Hair Extensions. In 2017, I decided to take over the building that was vacant next door to my traditional salon and open the first Beauty Bungalows location. In 2018, we expanded that location and also opened a sister company of salon suites, Porcelain Luxury Salon Suites. Now we have several locations.

HOW WAS BEAUTY BUNGALOWS FOUNDED?

Beauty Bungalows was founded in 2017. The landlord next door to my traditional salon came and asked if I would be interested in taking over his building. I checked it out and fell in love with the space. I knew this would be the home of the first Beauty Bungalows location. It was perfect for salon suites and had a beautiful patio, and in Southern California that was a huge plus. The space is in Downtown Huntington beach and is 4 blocks from the ocean.

IN WHAT WAYS DID YOUR BACKGROUND LEAD YOU TO FRANCHISING?

I come from a family with an outstanding work ethic and a lot of entrepreneurs. I went to cosmetology school knowing the outcome was going to be owning my own spot. My 18 years being in the hair industry, 16 years being a hairstylist, and 10 years of being a successful salon owner/business owner brought me to the idea of franchising. I always knew I would franchise out the Beauty Bungalows brand because I knew it was the perfect business model for it. I always love seeing people build and grow, and this business allows me to see the hairstylists grow into having their own space and now affords me the opportunity to help other franchisees build their dreams of having their own salon suites business. It's my passion seeing people grow and helping them build their businesses. So naturally franchising was the next best move for me and Beauty Bungalows.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT YOUR ROLE?

I have the amazing opportunity to see people's dreams come true. I get to witness beauty professionals build and design their own salons. My favorite thing is to see other individuals' artistic abilities come out when they design their salon suites. With franchising, my favorite part is helping other entrepreneurs build successful franchises and help them expand to multiple locations.

WHAT IS YOUR VISION LONG TERM?

My long term vision is to see Beauty Bungalows across the United States as well as Europe and Australia. My plan is to go global. My vision is for us to grow a community of not only franchisees but stylists who feel like they are a part of a family. I really believe in stylists feeling like they are still a part of a salon community and not just a salon suite by themselves.

DO YOU SUPPORT ANY CHARITABLE CAUSES?

I support Animal charitable causes. Animals are the greatest and I love all of them. I love to help bring them beds, food, and send money for them to help with vet costs for animals who need homes. Animals love unconditionally and just want love back. I would adopt all animals and have them all live on a big farm together if I could.

WHAT ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT IN THE COMING YEAR?

I'm excited for all the growth that we have coming in the upcoming year. We have several locations opening in California, some also in Virginia Beach, and in the Chicago and Idaho area potentially. It will be a busy year for Beauty Bungalows and we are ready and excited for our franchise family to grow.

WHO DO YOU CONSIDER FEMALE ROLE MODELS?

My female role model would be my mom. My mom has

raised 4 ambitious and successful kids. She worked as a registered nurse the whole time while raising us and teaching us to know what hard work is. She taught us what it meant to be kind to others and to stand up for what you believe in. She is the true meaning of a hard worker and an amazing mother. My mom taught me how to ride horses and this is what taught me responsibility with taking care of my horses and other animals we had. I believe everyone should grow up being responsible for caring for an animal. It really teaches you discipline and responsibility.

HOW DO YOU LOOK TO INSPIRE OTHERS?

I look to inspire other beauty professionals and entrepreneurs into showing them that anything they put the work in for and put their mind to they can do. If they want to rent a suite to own their salon, to own a franchise, to grow in life, you have to work hard. With hard work comes reward, it doesn't come by just sitting around dreaming about it... you have

to do it and make it happen. I hope that people can see how I have worked hard grinding to build what I have today and I can inspire them to learn the ways of what they need to do in order to be successful at their own business.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE OTHER WOMEN LOOKING TO START THEIR OWN BUSINESS?

Do it! Take calculated risks, not just risks. Do your research and plan well. Women are very powerful and intuitive. We can do anything we put our mind and heart to doing and we do it well. Ask questions. Use your network of people you know who are successful in your life to help bounce ideas off of.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD?

Thank you so much for reading about me and I'm looking forward to building this Beauty Bungalows franchise family.

All These Describe the New Owner of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors® Serving Dallas-Fort Worth and Rockwall County

by Rhonda Sanderson, CEO, Sanderson & Associates

Rhonda Sanderson is a franchise expert who has owned and operated Sanderson & Associates and Sanderson PR, both specializing in, traditional, social media and crisis PR in the franchise space since 1986. She has authored many articles, helped grow numerous franchise chains and is considered one of the Top 30 Small Business Influencers (Fit Business) in the U.S. Find her at Rhonda@sandersonpr. com or on LinkedIn where she is the author of Franchise Stars at https://www.linkedin. com/in/rhondasanderson-a6b658/

Marc Kusinski might best be described as a human Swiss Army Knife because his wideranging background and skills are comparable to the famous Swiss icon of versatility. He worked in the kitchens of some of the country’s finest restaurants, served in an infantry battalion during the Iraq War, and became a tech wiz and started his own company. It’s all part of the intrigue of the 47-year-old who recently added another title to his resume: franchise owner. Kusinski is the new owner of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and Rockwall County.

Simple math quickly demonstrates that a home inspection is money well-spent when making what is typically the largest single investment most people will ever make. “That’s one piece of advice that’s hard to argue,” said Kusinski, who launched operations Dec. 1. “No one needs surprises with what they are spending to buy a home in today’s market.”

And as far as choosing home inspection as a new career, these are industry facts: The U.S. building inspector industry, measured by revenue, is

MARC KUSINSKI

estimated to have a market size of $4.9 billion currently, according to global research firm IBISWorld.

So, while Kusinski is helping potential homebuyers avoid unexpected surprises, he can calm their anxieties by regaling them with his storied past that took shape in his early teens when he began apprenticing with multiple chefs. After graduating from high school, Kusinski attended the Culinary Institute of America, where he was fortunate enough – or unfortunate enough, depending on your perspective, Kusinski adds – to be selected for an externship at Le Bec Fin, a French restaurant in Philadelphia that a 1994 Condé Nast readers’ poll

#FranchiseStars

ranked as the best restaurant in the country.

“The experience was eye-opening and gave me an insight into the industry. Hell’s Kitchen [the reality cooking competition show hosted by Gordon Ramsay] had nothing on the work environment at this restaurant,” said Kusinski, who also worked at other acclaimed restaurants such as the Green Hills Inn, Tavern On the Green, and the Rainbow Room.

Kusinski eventually decided he’d had enough of the restaurant industry and joined the United States Army, where he was offered a position on the Army culinary team but turned it down to remain with his infantry battalion. “I spent two years in the Army during

Desert Storm,” he said.

After leaving the military, Kusinski was undecided about his future. But he realized he enjoyed and had an aptitude for another field: technology. The Army had trained him on battlefield GPS systems and Kusinski gained an understanding of ballistic computers and encrypted communication systems. He moved to Dallas, attended technical school, and was hired by General Electric as a technical support analyst, taking technicians’ calls and writing procedures for issues they encountered.

But Kusinski’s IT foray was just beginning, and his Swiss Army Knife skills were put to use again. During a visit to his insurance agent’s office, he realized their IT operations were

a technical mess, so Kusinski offered to help. He was hired to rebuild the office’s network in his off time, learning the more than 30 programs that were used. The task proved to be much more difficult than Kusinski ever imagined, but word of his skills spread throughout the industry, and he soon found himself supporting hundreds of offices. After consulting for several years, Kusinski was asked to become the MIS director for an insurance-related startup. He helped grow that company before leaving to start his own company –AWT Support in Rockwall, Texas – which provides storefront technological repairs and consultation services for small businesses.

“However, as time went on, I

realized I disliked technology and the ever-evolving and constant changes it represented,” Kusinski said. “However, what I did enjoy were the opportunities to sit down with architects, general contractors, and owners. I had been on hundreds of building sites throughout the years designing the technical infrastructure. What I wanted to do was work within the construction industry without the burden of the ever-changing world of technology.”

As one might expect, one of the many reasons Kusinski chose Pillar To Post Home Inspectors is the innovative technologies the company introduced in the past 18 months. These advanced technologies,

along with the business model, provide an exceptional home inspection with unique and innovative features that are all delivered within a seamless brand experience. All developed pre-pandemic and ready to be utilized when the pandemic struck, the new features further highlight Pillar To Post Home Inspectors’ standing as a visionary in its industry. The package is now known as the Ultimate Home Inspection and it’s revolutionizing the home inspection industry. So much so that the company was just awarded the much-coveted Best Innovators by Franchise Update Media in the category of “best customer service tools.”

“Pillar To Post Home Inspectors is a national brand with a great reputation,” Kusinski said. “When I spoke with some of their current franchisees,

I asked them all one simple question: ‘Would you be where you are right now without Pillar To Post?’” Kusinski said. “Every single person said ‘No.’ They told me the level of support is amazing and they would not be a success without Pillar To Post Home Inspectors. That was all I needed to hear.”

ABOUT PILLAR TO POST HOME INSPECTORS®

There are nearly 600 franchises located in 49 states and nine Canadian provinces. They rank repeatedly in Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise500®.

THE HEAR AGAIN AMERICA’S

METHODS

FOR

ADDRESSING HEARING

LOSS FOCUS ON BENEFIT TO OVERALL HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE.

HEARING LOSS STATISTICS

IN OLDER ADULTS

Hearing loss is the third most common chronic physical condition behind arthritis and heart disease, affecting people of all ages. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) states, "approximately one in three people in the United States between the ages of 65 and 74 has hearing loss, and nearly half of those older than 75 have difficulty hearing." The NIDCD also reported “age is the strongest predictor of hearing loss among adults; 91% of adults with hearing loss are aged 50 and older”.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA):

• About 48 million Americans report some degree of hearing loss.

• The prevalence of hearing loss is twice as common as diabetes or cancer.

• About 1 in 4 US adults with who report they experience excellent to good hearing already have hearing damage.

• There has been a spike in hearing loss impacting all age groups.

Increased hearing loss among all ages has illustrated that hearing loss is not an “aging issue,” but a growing crisis. It is believed that young people’s common use of

personal music devices, and a trend in youth favoring noisy leisure activities have contributed to the rising numbers.

It is well documented that many adults who experience hearing difficulty are reluctant to pursue hearing evaluation and treatment. Reasons for hesitation are common but should not be minimized; accepting hearing loss is challenging. The Hear Again America patient-centered approach has successfully guided thousands of patients from their resistance to acceptance.

Unfortunately, not all hearing care professionals appreciate that acknowledging hearing loss means acknowledging an unwanted health condition, a change away from “normal.” This can be equally disruptive for those who experience good mental and physical health with active lives and those who encounter chronic health challenges. Hearing loss can cause a dynamic adult in otherwise excellent physical condition to retreat from social activities. The addition of hearing loss to other health problems may be overwhelming or exponentially reduce one’s perception of wellbeing.

The Hear Again America’s methods for addressing hearing loss focus on benefit to overall health and quality of life. Our established processes

and programs are reflective of best practices, not just the standard. We collaborate closely with patients and their families to select and dispense the most suitable hearing devices. To ensure our patients achieve the best possible hearing experience, we provide abundant on-going support, counseling, and device maintenance.

AT Hear Again America Our Goal Is to Provide You with The Best Hearing Care Possible

Hearing devices cannot be prescribed like eyeglasses. Recommendations must be individualized, and benefit is highly dependent on the judgment and skill of the practitioner fitting the instruments. We are committed to providing excellent training and professional education so our audiologists, hearing instrument specialists and patient care coordinators remain among the finest in the hearing health industry.

Top 5 Service-Based Franchises for Seniors

by Ken Boyce, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

There is a tidal wave that has already started and tuning into a tsunami. Watch-out! Here comes the demand of the senior community.

Today, there are over 74.1 million people under age 18 in the U.S. country. There are 56.4 million people age 65 and older.

Ten years from now, there will almost be as many old folks as there are young ones. The numbers of young people will have grown just a little to 76.3 million, but the numbers of old people will have increased a lot – to 74.1 million. A lot of these new elderly will be baby boomers.

According to Bloomberg, millennials only hold 4.6 percent of the wealth in America. The amount is $5.19 trillion. In juxtaposition, baby boomers hold 53.2 percent, or $59.96 trillion. They are 10 times wealthier than millennials, and twice as wealthy than Gen X. Baby Boomers = $$$$$

Like they say; “Follow the money.” The baby boomers have the most disposable income in history and they intend to spend it. Not only do they intend to spend it but they have an enormous need for services. Many of these services have been a focus from franchise companies. Here are the top 5

service-based franchise industry opportunities. In no particular order.

1. Senior Care 2. Accessibility & Mobility Products 3. Home Services 4. Senior Home Placement 5. Pet Services

1. SENIOR CARE

The senior care franchises over services to help seniors stay in their own homes. These services are divided into medical and nonmedical services. The core of the business is hiring and managing employees to service their senior clients. Some would compare this industry to a staffing franchise.

2. ACCESSIBILITY & MOBILITY PRODUCTS

The accessibility & mobility products franchises provide services to help seniors also stay in their homes. The difference is they are focused on providing products that help seniors have more accessibility within their homes. The products include everything from chairlifts to tub handles.

3. HOME SERVICES

The home services franchise industry is massive. This is not just focused on seniors but there is a major growth sector for this industry. More seniors are wanting to stay in their homes and require services that they do not have the ability to perform. This includes any service that touches a home. Everything from plumbers, electricians,

handymen and countless other service that are performed every day.

4. SENIOR HOME PLACEMENT

The senior home placement franchises help find the appropriate living facilities for seniors. This can range from nursing homes, assisted living care, to residential care centers. There is already a huge demand for these services and the industry will only grow for the next 10 years.

5. PET SERVICES

The pet services industry is insane! It is crazy how much Americans spend on their pets. As seniors are becoming more empty nesters and losing their loved one. They are reaching for companionship.

This tends to lean much more towards animals then humans. Seniors will be one of the largest segments for acquiring pets and all this pets need pet services.

This is a high-level overview of the potential growth of franchises for seniors. There is far too much information to cover in one article. If you would like to learn more than Ken provide his franchise consulting services to find the best franchises and provide far more information. He is one of the leaders in this industry.

Why Now is One of the BEST Times to Consider Business Ownership and Emerging Brands

by Chris Otter, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

While many have been “circling the wagons” through the recent pandemic, this is one of the best times in history for those considering business ownership, and especially new “emerging” brands that provide what today’s savvy investors and entrepreneurs are looking for:

1. Well positioned for post-Covid growth

While many brands face the possibility of becoming the next Blockbuster, others are well positioned to offer products are services with minimal customer/ employee exposure

2. Low Investment

Limits capital investment and risk exposure while retaining personal funds during crisis

3. High Cash-on-Cash Return

Provides ability for business to fund its own growth with low cost of entry

4. Fast Ramp-up/ High Income potential

5. Scalability

6. Simple Business Model

7. Low Labor requirements

Typically, in franchising, these characteristics are more often

found in early “emerging” brands with a solid concept and good unit economics that are in sustainable recession resistant industries. Emerging brands typically offer several significant advantages (for example, think of those who invested in McDonald’s 40 years ago):

• Highest ROI vs. lower cost

• First to market providing: - Rapid market penetration due to few competitors

- Ability to establish Market Dominance due to low saturation of brand - Best territories/market still available

• Increase in Asset Value (resale value):

- As the franchise system grows, so does the intrinsic value of your franchise, or as we say in franchising – “As the tide rises, so do all ships!”

So, why is now a great time to consider business ownership?

This too shall pass. When it does, based on past experience, relatively slowmoving massive market upheaval will be met with

adaptation (different from a “crash”) – market conditions will change, and we WILL move forward. It is during these times of transition that we typically see the greatest opportunity. Particularly for small business owners. Always has been.

It's NOT getting lucky or unlucky – it’s about the having the right CONDITIONS in place that are favorable to new business creation and acceptance. When those conditions exist – we have found TIMING is critical as the market WILL level out and swing back on all levels at some point.

While most of us, if not all, are fearful of what the future brings, smart investors view this as an opportunity to grow.

Examples:

• What if you purchased equities during 2009 or 2010?

• What if you purchased commercial property during that period of time?

• What if you signed a long-term lease during that period of time?

The reality is during times of crisis is the time that you want to be strategic about your future and how you are investing.

WHY IS THIS A GOOD TIME? Here’s what we’re seeing:

1. Low cost of capital/ Low funding rates

2. Low cost, great lease space/real estate availability: - BUYER/LESSEE’s market –able to secure GOOD space at GOOD rates LONG term (i.e., LOWER fixed costs!)

LOW cost of capital: In this case, makes sense to use OPM – or SBA – retain personal capital as much as possible for short-term needs, especially in next 3-6 mos. Plus – the #’s make sense – easier to do when SBA is at all-time (and maybe one-time) LOW business funding rates with widely expanded financial programs available, including special programs for existing business owners.

Attractive real estate market conditions favoring NEW business owners/lessee: Opportunity to negotiate attractive retail, office, warehouse or any brick & mortar space at very attractive rates/terms as landlords may be eager to replace/retain long-term tenants. Especially in the small to mid-sized retail space, but also office, or light industrial/warehouse.

Opportunities include commercial real estate acquisitions or business owners looking for lease space. We expect to see GOOD lease space available – at VERY attractive rates and terms - so owners can look to negotiate LOW rates – while still available – for long-term financial costs savings to drive bottom-line income.

Bottom line, in uncertain times, people go to brands they KNOW and TRUST –that tends to be franchises due to the national brand recognition and proven, shared operating systems that

Watch billionaire Mark Cuban share why now’s the time to start a business: click here

deliver a consistent, high-level brand experience consumers are looking for and trust being part of a much larger national company.

While many brands and concepts are facing the very real possibility of becoming the next “Blockbuster,” we are seeing outstanding opportunities in wellestablished sectors that are in position to best serve changing consumer demands and needs. We are also seeing exciting opportunities in emerging sectors who offer a needed product/service or more attractive way of doing business in response to new market opportunities.

Just as important – this allows you to CHOOSE POST-Covid – what industries, concepts and brands are BEST positioned for success and to GROW in the “New” economy and are in perfect position or have modified their offering to meet the demands of today’s marketplace.

In the current environment, we recommend opportunities with strong unit economics (with #’s to prove it) and/or low investment level options to retain capital (and/or leverage attractive funding rates and options) – and SCALING development of multiple units with high cash-on-cash return over a 3-5-year period.

GET “FIRED UP” About Franchising with a Mediterranean-Inspired Fast Casual

by Roy Jones, Franchise Manager

By offering a Mediterraneaninspired menu that both appeals to adventurous foodies, picky eaters, and everyone in between, customers have a reliable and approachable choice when it comes to flame-grilled kebobs.

Loved by feasters, busy families, and health-conscious diners, Sticks is a local favorite to stop for a quick business lunch, a take-home dinner, or catered meal while sticking to

a budget and healthy eating resolutions.

“I think our concept is a completely unique approach to healthy fast food, and we have a fantastic business model that is very replicable,” said Bill Hamilton, partner.

Not a just fad, U.S. News and World Report has named the Mediterranean Diet the Best Diet for six years running. Sticks leans into this popular culinary concept with platters, salads, and flatbread wraps featuring delicious grilled meats, shrimp, and veggies. A choice of custom sides and sauces creates an opportunity for endless meal combinations.

Mediterranean food is the

fastest-growing segment of Fast Casual restaurants, and that growth is forecast to accelerate.

Fresh is the name of the game, and an efficient operating model boasts high cross-utilization of ingredients and fast inventory turnover.

From hand-trimmed beef sirloin and fresh-herbed chicken to shrimp with lemon garlic and veggies with fresh basil, all the recipes are exclusive and prepared daily. Sticks’ famous hummus and creamy cilantro-lime sauce have even developed cult-like followings.

“We are excited to bring the concept of ‘fresh food, fast’ to more health-conscious diners, foodies, and families on the East Coast,” said owner Chris

DuBois. “We offer over 20 years of a highly reputable and consistent business model and a proven brand experience. Combine those with costefficient operations, and you have a lucrative franchising opportunity.”

THE PEOPLE

Franchise Sticks stores must be profitable for us to succeed together. We treat and our team members well, resulting in low turnover and smooth operations.

We believe community involvement and generosity to local charities are essential to running a good business. New stores receive strong opening and post-opening store support, regular business reviews, and ongoing training.

THE PROCESS

A highly reputable and replicable business model, 20+ years of proven brand experience, and costefficient operations make this a lucrative franchising opportunity. The streamlined

kitchen process delivers craveable custom-made meals with 3-minute average service times. The mix of dine-in, take-out, delivery and catering smooths out the business for great labor and guest service. 50% of the orders are digital, and the busiest shifts in most stores are M-F days. The standardized POS provides quick, accurate order flow, good food and labor cost tools, and in-depth above-store reporting.

Open a NOW Massage Boutique in Your Neighborhood New Concept Reimagines Massage Experience

The NOW Massage, a new concept massage boutique, was founded on the principle that self-care is a necessity, not a luxury.

Designed to serve as an oasis from today’s digitally driven society, The NOW offers high-quality, affordable massage services in an inspired setting. The brand has recently signed franchise agreements representing 100+ locations in over 25 cities.

The NOW Massage

Celebrates 30 Boutiques Opened & Continued Expansion On The Horizon

he NOW Massage, a wellness brand transforming the therapeutic massage space, recently celebrated the opening of its 30th boutique and signing of its 100th franchise agreement. The growing brand will have a busy remainder of 2022 with over a dozen new boutiques starting operations, bringing the company’s total number of active locations to nearly 50.

We caught up with Co-Founder & Chief Creative Officer Gara Post to discuss the brand’s recent successes, upcoming expansion plans

Tand why NOW is the time to invest in the wellness industry.

Q) Tell us about The NOW’s evolution and how the business was started?

A) The NOW Massage franchise was founded on the principle that self-care is a necessity, not a luxury. My husband Jason and I co-founded The NOW with our company Post Investment Group, which focuses on three sectors; health and wellness, real estate and consumer products. We saw there was a void in the marketplace for high quality massage in an inspired setting without the time commitment and cost of a traditional spa. Success followed and we scaled from one to four boutiques in 18 months. Our franchise journey began in 2019 and in less than three years, The NOW Massage reached the monumental achievement of signing its

100th franchise agreement and opening its 30th boutique this past July.

Q) In what states are you planning to open next?

A) We have over a dozen openings planned for the remainder of 2022, including bringing The NOW to three new states: Maryland, Ohio and New Jersey. In addition to those boutiques, we are launching four more California locations, three in different parts of Chicago and Florida, and an additional two units in Colorado.

Q) Looking ahead to 2023, what are your top growth markets?

A) NOW Massage boutiques are still available in prime markets such as Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Boston, Detroit, Indianapolis, the Tri-State area and more. These territories offer prospective franchise owners the opportunity to be firstto-market in some of these regions.

Q) Who is the ideal NOW Massage Franchise Owner?

A) The NOW Massages’ ideal franchise owner is a multi-unit operator and entrepreneurial self-starter with a passion for wellness. We have built an inclusive culture upon a common set of Brand Truths – encouraging our franchise owners to “Live In The NOW,” which means to be present and take time to recharge and reconnect within. Also, “Care For Those That Care For Others,” is one of our core values and calls on our franchise owners to foster an environment where team members feel valued, recognized and rewarded. One

of our favorite brand truths is “Kindness is Magic,” positive energy is really important and creates a circle of warmth for our guests.

Q) Why is NOW the time to buy a NOW Massage Boutique?

A) Owning a NOW Massage franchise is a good investment for multiple reasons. For starters, the global wellness economy is forecasted to grow 60% by 2025*. The NOW Massage also boasts competitive buildout costs, a recurring and predictable revenue stream, in-depth training and support across real estate, operations, marketing and more, plus a seasoned executive team with a combined 50 years of experience. All of this contributes to a scalable model that allows for franchise owners to easily open multiple units. Finally, there is a pride of ownership that comes with owning a NOW Massage boutique that our franchise

owners really embrace. It is truly a lifestyle brand where guests can come to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect within through the healing benefits of massage. (*Global Wellness Institute)

The cost to open a NOW Massage franchise ranges from $414,850 – $767,600, including a $60,000 franchise fee. For more information on franchising with The NOW Massage, visit thenowmassage.com/own-aboutique.

Beautiful, Healthy Hair While Saving Time & Money is Color Only’s Mission

says Drescher.

Duchin’s family has been in the beauty industry for four generations — since 1917 - from supplies to manufacturing, distribution, and e-commerce.

Drescher has been involved in several successful start-ups and came up with the initial idea for ColorOnly in 2018.

“When Stephen presented the concept, I loved the idea,” said Duchin, who believed in his vision and agreed there was a huge void in the market.

“For decades, women only had two choices for coloring their hair – expensive salons or

Color Only is on a mission to give women beautiful healthy hair, save them time and money. With a focus on eliminating harmful chemicals and manufacturing the best hair dye in the world they are about to revolutionize the $20 Billion hair dye category.

After years of experimentation Color Only perfected the art and science of hair dye and are now offering hair color in 30 minutes for a $30 monthly membership through their franchise platform.

Their focus is simple — no highlights, no haircuts —

just color. Those used to dying their hair can have a higher, more professional, and precise result that’s both easier and convenient than doing it at home.

South Florida entrepreneurs and friends Steven Duchin and Stephen Drescher created the re-imagined 30-minute salon experience through technology and innovation. The franchise model made the most sense to roll it out. “Most women color their hair so the market is massive, we will open hundreds of locations in the US and abroad. The appeal of saving time and money while getting a better service is universal”

THEIR FOCUS IS SIMPLE—

NO HIGHLIGHTS, NO HAIRCUTS— JUST COLOR.

boxed dye at home. ColorOnly combines the efficiency and affordability of at-home hair coloring with the service quality and results that the salon experience provides” say Drescher.

Supported by Fran Drescher of “The Nanny”, in addition to their mission of beauty, Color Only is a cause based business supporting Fran’s philanthropy Cancer Schmancer. “This is a business with heart that is dedicated to global health” says Drescher a 20 year cancer survivor, “Color Only gives back every time a woman comes to get her hair colored and it takes only 10 frikkin minutes! I wouldn’t put my name behind it I didn’t use the product. The concept is unique and there are no harsh chemicals and the dye only stays in your hair for 10 minutes so when it’s rinsed out my hair always feels so soft and beautiful.”

The technology behind the art of Color Only is EMMA, the Express Mixing Machine

Assistant. Like a paint mixer, this computerized hair dye manufacturing machine takes all the guesswork out of custom color formulations and delivers perfect matches every time.

“To be able to have that level of precision and customization is revolutionary because we have systematized the color making process so our clients get their perfect color every time,” said Duchin, who hired a team of renowned chemists and engineers to develop and manufacture the first and only ammonia-free 10-minute processing intelligent hair dye.

ColorOnly claims to have the fastest hair coloring process on the planet and the most color selections so DIYers can say goodbye to the smell and the mess of experimenting at home.

A look inside the salon gives a modern and calming feel. Customers see shades of colors, but there is no odor from the ammonia-free dyes.

“We designed Color Only to franchise globally so every part of our process is replicable whether it is in Florida or France” says Drescher.

Clients go through a simple five-step process. First, they meet with an expert color consultant to select their shade which is then linked to their account and manufactured on the spot. Then the dye is applied in either a root touchup or all over. Next, it’s time to take a seat in the processing station, and after just 10 minutes, rinse and dry.

Customers can choose the do-it-yourself dry bar or professional blow-out for an added fee or just head home.

The Coral Springs salon offers monthly memberships for $30, including root touch up, rinse, and shampoo, with 100 percent customer satisfaction. Products are also available for purchase for use by at-home clients in a monthly subscription, starting at $15.

Duchin feels so confident in ColorOnly’s intelligent hair color system that the first color is always on him. New clients are only responsible for an $8 service charge in lieu of a tip. Plus, with an unlimited customer referral program, clients can obtain a free color for any first-time customer who gives it a try.

With an eye to the future and filling the world with Color Only Salons, Drescher and Duchin are sure to make their mark on the world of beauty. For more information, reach out to www. coloronly.com

The Newest Innovative Health and Wellness Franchise

by Kristan Henderson, FranDevCo Development Director for beem TM Light Sauna

There has been a significant cultural shift in recent years toward holistic healing and light therapy. In 2019, the global wellness economy was valued at $4.9 trillion and it is expected to reach $7 trillion by 2025. This is boosted in part by consumers seeking self-care during COVID-19.

Former IT Pro is Building a New Platform After Joining No. 1 Mobile Flooring Brand

by Rhonda Sanderson, CEO, Sanderson & Associates

There’s a thing called a “good tired.” In a nutshell, it means you’ve taken on a challenge – and it might have taken a little (or a lot) of effort – but you’ve accomplished your goal and feel pretty darn good about it. That might describe the

feelings of 55-year-old Bruce Egan. The IT expert recently became a new business owner with Floor Coverings International, the brand that’s consistently ranked No. 1 in the mobile flooring category, visiting customers’ homes in a Mobile Flooring Showroom stocked with thousands of

flooring samples from top manufacturers. Egan launched operations in October, Floor Coverings International of Northbrook serves customers in Des Plaines, Rosemont, Park Ridge, Glenview, Niles, Skokie, Morton Grove, and Lincolnwood in Illinois. While working in the IT field,

Egan provided computer support to end users, and managed various IT projects. After working in the corporate world for 30 years, an opportunity arose with Floor Coverings International in an area perfect for him. Egan didn’t hesitate.

“I always dreamed of my own business, and this was it! It’s definitely been a switch from my previous career, but one that I welcome. Making the transition from corporate life to small business owner is a vastly unique experience,” Egan said. “Every day has brought a new challenge so having the ability to manage those situations is a requirement. It’s taken some adjusting but I’ve enjoyed the process and the sense of satisfaction that comes from running my own show.”

Floor Coverings International is a business built on relationships to provide its customers with the best inhome flooring experience in North America. Its proven business model has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs thrive in a business that is simple-to-run and easy to scale. And Egan believe his past professional experience provides a solid foundation for his new chapter with Floor Coverings International. “The experience I gained in the IT field helps with managing the technicalities of different flooring projects and also with

providing good customer service,” he said.

In Floor Coverings International, Egan found a company that has tripled in size since 2005 by putting a laser focus on consumer buying habits and expressed desires, its impressive operating model, growth ability, marketing, advertising, and merchandising. Floor Coverings International further separates itself from the competition through its customer experience, made up of several simple and integrated steps that exceed customers’ expectations.

For this, Floor Coverings International was given the Innovation Award for Customer Response from Franchise Update Media in 2020, and the same award again in 2021 for Best Use of Technology. Franchise Update is the benchmark publication and conference entity that is the Gold Standard of Franchising.

“I chose Floor Coverings International because I felt it would be the best opportunity for me to grow my business and have the opportunity to reach my goals of retirement,” Egan said.

With the home improvement industry booming, the flooring market is also keeping pace. The global flooring market is currently estimated at $409 billion according to Grand View Research. The market is

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

expected to grow at an annual rate of more than six percent through 2028, reaching overall sales of $621 billion.

“The in-home consultation model when it comes to choosing flooring has really been evolving and becoming more and more common, with Floor Coverings International being at the forefront, so I’m excited to be part of this growing movement,” Egan said.

Salty Dawg Pet Salon

Announces National Franchise Expansion as Pet Care Industry Experiences Explosive Growth

by Bryan Ospina, COO, Salty Dawg Pet Salon

As the pet industry continues experiencing explosive growth, with 63.4M households owning at least one dog – Salty Dawg Pet Salon, the premium dog grooming brand that challenges people to "Pet Differently," has announced their national franchising opportunity. Salty Dawg Pet Salon has innovated the approach to pet grooming with an organic solution: sourcing licensed hairstylists and barbers and providing them with an exclusive dog grooming training program to transition from styling humans to styling our furry companions.

"When people visit a salon, they expect a great haircut, style, and service, and they expect an experience," says Salty Dawg co-founder and CEO John Kanski. "Why should your pet be treated any differently? At Salty Dawg, we create a safe, loving experience that leaves your pets feeling as beautiful as they look. We're excited about expanding our footprint, offering an unparalleled opportunity to

our franchise partners and a one-of-a-kind grooming experience to dog parents nationwide."

Kanski founded Salty Dawg Pet Salon in 2018, when he noticed that typical grooming shops took his Springer Spaniel behind closed doors and left her in an anxious state during her visit. Kanski, a Paul Mitchell School owner with locations across four states, dreamed of redefining the grooming experience by creating an expedited process to teach licensed hairstylists and barbers to groom animals. Turning his dream into a reality, Kanski teamed up with Winn Claybaugh, founder and co-owner of Paul Mitchell Advanced Education (the franchisor of 100+ cosmetology and/or barbering schools operating under the Paul Mitchell School brand), and Gary Ratner, a lifelong expert in the beauty industry with over 40 years of experience in retail, real estate, store operations, and franchising.

Thanks to their robust experience in the hairstyling industry, the three co-owners offer ties to prestigious talent

pools, giving Salty Dawg an array of options when it comes to finding pet stylists. The brand works to develop relationships with potential candidates rising through the beauty industry to ensure that the stylist's and brand's mission align. In addition, Salty Dawg's tailored training program caters to the stylist's individual learning style, allowing them to thrive. This approach, replicating that of the Paul Mitchell School network, has resulted in talented and prepared pet stylists who feel confident in their transition from human to pet clientele. This attractive program not only trains candidates but offers a successful career path.

"Salty Dawg's unique approach to attracting and training stylists is certainly a key ingredient to our success, but what truly sets us apart is our culture," Claybaugh adds. "We've built a culture of being nice, structured on meeting three basic needs: helping our customers and pet stylists feel safe, feel that they belong, and

feel that they have a purpose."

Claybaugh developed the "Be Nice" culture when he founded Paul Mitchell's school division. It translated into a national phenomenon, leading Claybaugh to become a bestselling author and speaker as well as the dean of 100-plus schools nationwide. Implementing his approach at Salty Dawg Pet Salon has ensured that the

brand provides a welcoming community for customers and employees alike. The brand is also committed to pursuing philanthropic endeavors.

Although Salty Dawg may be a new player in the pet grooming industry, the brand's founders have been in the beauty and hair industry for over 40 years and have an impressive record of investing in their communities. To date,

Salty Dawg's co-founders have been instrumental in helping the nationwide network of Paul Mitchell Schools raise more than $23 million for charity, including $700,000 for animalrelated nonprofit organizations, donated through the Andrew Gomez Dream Foundation. The primary animal-related recipients include American Humane Society, Best Friends Animal Society, and Morris Animal Foundation. "One of my fondest memories was working personally with Morris Animal Foundation trustee, board president, and spokesperson Betty White, as we raised over $520,000 for the animals she loved so much," Claybaugh says.

With three locations currently operating in Georgia, Illinois, and Texas, the grooming brand is actively seeking single and multi-unit franchise partners in 41 states. While they encourage those with franchise experience to apply, Salty Dawg's approachable system is designed to accommodate first-time franchise partners as well. Above all else, Salty Dawg Pet Salon wants partners who embody the Salty Dawg culture and have a love for dogs. Including the franchise fee, the initial investment for a Salty Dawg Pet Salon location ranges from $145,300 to $414,000.

MAYOR OF DALLAS’ FRANCHISING INITIATIVE: A Powerful Initiative to Grow Minority Business Enterprises

Greetings, my name is Carlos White, and I serve as Franchise Impact Ambassador for Mayor’s Eric Johnson’s first-of-its-kind franchise initiative (“Franchise Initiative”). The primary objectives of the Franchise Initiative are to (1) highlight and continue to position Dallas as the world’s preeminent leader in franchising and (2) develop an eco-system that creates more scalable racially diverse franchisors and franchisees.

For this particular article, we will focus on the second objective of the Franchise Initiative, creating more scalable minority business enterprises or MBEs. The first question that one may ask is why is this Franchise Initiative so important to MBEs?

Well, to paraphrase Charles Dickens, ‘It is the best of times and the worst of times’ for MBEs. On the positive side, the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurs reported that over the last 10 years, MBEs accounted for more than 50% of the 2 million new businesses started in the U.S., and there are now more than 4 million MBEs in the U.S. However, on the negative side, the Minority Business Development Agency has

reported that the average gross receipts for MBEs have dropped by 16 percent, and 95% of Blackowned firms and 91% of Latino-owned firms have no employees outside of their owners according to data from the Center for Responsible Lending.

In a nutshell, we have a growing number of MBEs, yet an overwhelming number of them are micro-businesses that are not properly structured or positioned to either scale, increase the wealth for their owners, or create sustainable jobs for others. Accordingly, these facts underscore a couple of the reasons why we need Mayor Johnson’s Franchise Initiative in Dallas and throughout the U.S.

So, the next question, why is the Franchise Initiative built around franchising? Franchising is a business model that can be utilized by any business no matter the industry (including, home services, business services, entertainment, food and beverage, health and wellness, real estate, insurance, education, apparel, logistics, technology services, cannabis, etc.). Given this broad scope, the output of franchise businesses is forecasted to be over $826 billion in 2022 according to the International Franchise Association’s (“IFA”) 2022 Franchising Economic Outlook report. These numbers are expected to

Learn more about this initiative by reading the article in our December 2022 issue.

increase substantially in the next 5 to 10 years. A primary driver for this growth is the increasing purchasing power of U.S. minority groups. Per the Selig Center For Economic Growth, the purchasing power of Asian Americans, Black Americans, and Hispanic Americans are $1.3 trillion, $1.6 trillion, and $1.9 trillion, respectively. It is absolutely incumbent that MBEs at a minimum are able to scale through franchising to tap and gain market share within these racially diverse markets.

Franchising is a proven and vetted business model that if properly implemented can create more sustainable MBEs. These sentiments are consistent with reporting from the IFA that highlights that franchise businesses tend to be larger than non-franchise businesses on average, Black-owned franchise firms generate 2.2 times as much in sales compared to Black-owned non-franchise businesses, and Hispanic-owned franchise businesses enjoy 1.6 times as many sales and employ 1.5 times more people per location than their non-franchise counterparts. Franchising also creates a sustainable business eco-system and multiplies the economic impact in communities by not only creating jobs, but also creating engagement opportunities for other MBEs that provide financial and accounting, real estate, construction, technology, and other related business services. As legal counsel for many MBEs, I have seen first-hand

how minority franchise companies has created multiple millionaires and 6-figure incomes for employees (including those that were previously unemployed, underemployed, or incarcerated) and service providers.

The Mayor Johnson’s Franchise Initiative, through its public-private (social and financial) relationships, educational/networking convenings, and franchisor and franchisee accelerator programs (administered and overseen by highly-credentialed, award-winning, and connected franchise professionals), will empower and equip Dallas-based MBEs and MBEs that are interested in operating in metro Dallas, Texas with a powerful educational, operational, and social capital platform to help them scale their businesses in a meaningful and sustainable way.

Many thanks to Mayor Johnson for his innovativeness, leadership, and commitment to equitable development and outcomes. I am also very appreciative to the Franchise Journal, and their commitment to the Franchise Initiative by providing this platform to showcase and expo MBEs. Through this Initiative, I know we will make a real difference for MBEs. If you are an MBE that is interested in or like to learn more about the Franchise Initiative and how it may benefit you, please feel free to reach out to me at carlos.white@lathropgpm.com

The IFA highlights that franchise businesses tend to be larger than non-franchise businesses on average, Black-owned franchise firms generate 2.2 times as much in sales compared to Blackowned non-franchise businesses, and Hispanicowned franchise businesses enjoy 1.6 times as many sales and employ 1.5 times more people per location than their non-franchise counterparts.

Mold Medics was created to provide a consumer-first home care service that no other business currently offers, and to have a lasting impact on the indoor environmental health of our community. We achieve this by having a transparent process, outstanding communication with customers, and honest assessments backed by a proven track record of the best customer experience in the industry.

THE NOW MASSAGE CEO thenowmassage.com

Comfort At Home was started in 2012 due to the founders love for seniors and helping Veterans. The business has successfully been operated in Georgia and South Carolina until it was acquired by the current CEO Megan Mendez. Megan is an advanced practice registered nurse with over 15 years in the healthcare industry and also shares a passion for helping seniors. Her love for Homecare started in 2013 after she watched her own mother die of breast cancer with little to no help in the home. Megan shares"Working in patients' homes made me realize that I never actually knew my patients," I was merely caring for them." "Working with them at home I really get to know them, their likes, dislikes, history and so much more." I also found out that they really like to talk."

Everyone laughed at me for buying a business in a pandemic, I took over Comfort At Home in June 2020 and it has been a very interesting journey. I have learnt so much and have found a way to improve many of the existing systems and policies. I have totally enjoyed my time running Comfort At Home and look forward to making it even bigger and better by helping others experience the joy of running a Homecare business.

The NOW Massage was designed as an oasis to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect within. Co-founding The NOW Massage in 2015, Gara Post helped grow the company’s Los Angeles footprint from one to four boutiques in 18 months. Since then, the brand has been disrupting the industry with its menu of high-quality, customizable massage services and elevated aesthetic, recognized internationally by press and influencers.

Since franchising began in 2019, the brand has scaled to over 35 boutiques open from coast to coast with another 100+ locations on the horizon. The brand’s seasoned executive team, led by President Jeff Platt, has a combined 50+ years of experience leading franchise owners to success.

The NOW Massage is looking forward to bringing its thoughtfully crafted menu, healing products and signature design to cities all over the United States.

A PLACE AT HOME CEO

In 2012, long-time friends, Dustin Distefano and Jerod Evanich were inspired by their own personal experiences to start a business built on providing professional in-home senior care that allows seniors to remain happy and independent in the comfort of their own homes. Unlike other senior home care companies, A Place At Home built a Senior-Focused Care model. This model offers four different lines of care services providing multiple revenue streams, which include inhome senior care, care coordination, senior living alternatives, and staffing solutions. Senior care is one of the most impactful businesses a community can have. Committed to their ‘We are CARE’ philosophy of being Compassionate, Accountable, Respectful, and Ethical, they began franchising this business model in 2017. “100% of owners would invest in A Place At Home again” based on the 2021 Franchise Business Review survey. Currently, there are 24 locations open coast-to-coast. For franchise information, visit their website.

Woofie’s is the only franchise system in the $100 Billion+ pet care industry to offer the combined services of pet sitting, dog walking, and mobile pet spa services.

CEO www.doodycalls.com

Dogs are a man’s – and woman’s – best friend. They comfort us, bring us joy, and are by our side through ups and downs. There is almost nothing to not like about a dog – except for maybe their poop. Pooping is inevitable, and with that comes the cleanup. If you have a yard, you understand all too well how downright gross it can be to step in an unexpected pile of poo. Dog poop is the unwanted gift that keeps giving – and like it or not, it’s not going anywhere. That’s where DoodyCalls comes in. We are a pet waste removal company that offers a variety of solutions for pet owners, commercial properties, and community managers.

CEO

When I saw no negative reviews, I thought they were faked. No company can be that good. They are the exception to the rule. 5 stars are not enough to rate the professionalism, honesty, helpfulness and knowledge. It’s an industry where the homeowner really doesn’t know much and it easy for the company to scare you into spend more than you need...NOT Mold Medics. I highly recommened them to the degree that you’d be foolish to use anyone else. Nev Harris

Join our Global Networ k of Local Proper ty Management Exper ts

AvenueWest Global Franchise, LLC enables entrepreneurs to launch property-based business in their local communities and equips them with the network, the hands-on-training and the infrastructure for success.

A Unique Business Model

Our business, AvenueWest Managed Corporate Housing, delivers real estate investors a turnkey solution for property management by connecting them to our global network of local corporate housing franchise owners that manage furnished rentals with five star customer service.

An Explosive Market for Growth

According to the Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA), corporate housing generates nearly $4 billion in annual revenue with an average daily rate of $161. With an average stay in a US corporate housing unit of 78 nights, this provides a consistent and high-margin opportunity for property investors. Despite a slow-down of business travel and relocations in 2020, the demand for long term furnished lodging remained consistent. AvenueWest continues to rapidly grow and has doubled its number of franchises nationwide over the last five-years. We plan to double it again over the next three years.

What We Offer

Own Your Future

At AvenueWest, our model is unique and durable. By partnering with property investment owners, we deliver a profitable model for owners to capitalize on their rental properties through our national corporate housing network while minimizing potential overhead exposure for our franchise owners. The result is a win-win partnership that continues to prove itself over the course of AvenueWest’s two-decade plus tenure.
