The Boom in Health, Beauty, and Medical Franchising:

Tapping into America’s Obsession with Youth and Wellness

In the ever-evolving world of franchising, a few sectors have risen to prominence, not merely as trends but as pillars of sustained growth. Among these are health, beauty, and medical franchises, industries driven by a potent combination of scientific advancements, changing consumer priorities, and a society that increasingly equates looking good with feeling good. As Americans continue to prioritize youth, wellness, and longevity, franchisors are seizing the opportunity, creating a wave of growth that shows no signs of ebbing.

THE INTERSECTION OF HEALTH, BEAUTY, AND WELLNESS

The health, beauty, and medical franchise sectors are experiencing unprecedented growth, largely due to a shift in consumer behavior. No longer do Americans see health as merely the absence of illness; instead, there is a holistic approach that emphasizes overall well-being, appearance, and quality of life. This paradigm shift is reflected in the increasing popularity of franchises offering services like non-invasive cosmetic procedures, wellness treatments, and fitness programs tailored to individual needs.

HEALTH FRANCHISES:

THE NEW PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE

Health franchises, particularly those focused on wellness and preventative care, are at the forefront of this transformation. Consumers are becoming more proactive about their health, opting for services that offer early detection, personalized care, and lifestyle modification. Franchises like IV Nutrition, Elements Massage,

and XPONENTIAL Fitness have thrived by tapping into the desire for convenient, tailored health solutions.For example, fitness franchises are no longer just about getting in shape; they’re about maintaining a healthy lifestyle that can prevent chronic diseases, enhance mental wellbeing, and prolong life. The rise of boutique fitness studios and specialized wellness centers highlights the consumer demand for customized health experiences. People are willing to invest in these services because they offer more than just a workout; they offer a promise of better health and a higher quality of life.

BEAUTY FRANCHISES:

THE PURSUIT OF ETERNAL YOUTH

The beauty industry has always been lucrative, but its recent explosion in the franchising world can be attributed to the growing obsession

MEDICAL FRANCHISES,

A SECTOR ONCE LIMITED TO URGENT CARE CENTERS AND DENTAL CLINICS, ARE NOW EXPERIENCING RAPID DIVERSIFICATION.

with youth and appearance. The American consumer is increasingly willing to spend on services that promise to enhance, preserve, or restore youthfulness. This trend has given rise to a plethora of beauty franchises that offer everything from laser hair removal to anti-aging treatments.

Franchises like Facialworks, Floyd’s 99 Barbershop and MediWeightLoss have capitalized on this trend, offering specialized beauty and weight loss services that are both accessible and affordable. These franchises succeed because they meet the consumer's desire for quick, effective treatments that require minimal downtime. The rise of medspas—facilities that combine traditional beauty treatments with medical procedures—further underscores the blurring lines between beauty and health. Medspas, in particular, have seen significant growth as they cater to clients seeking more than just a facial or a massage. With services ranging from Botox injections to laser skin resurfacing, medspas offer results-driven treatments that align with the consumer's

desire for tangible, long-lasting effects. This trend is expected to continue as advances in technology make these procedures safer, more effective, and more widely available.

THE MEDICAL FRANCHISE REVOLUTION

Medical franchises, a sector once limited to urgent care centers and dental clinics, are now experiencing rapid diversification. Advances in technology, coupled with a growing demand for specialized care, have opened up new opportunities for franchisors. Telemedicine, medical testing, and specialized treatment centers are just a few examples of the innovations driving growth in this sector.

Franchises like Hear Again America, Lindora, 4EverYoung, and ARCpoint Labs have disrupted traditional healthcare models by offering accessible, affordable care in convenient locations. These franchises cater to the consumer’s desire for transparency, convenience, and personalized service—qualities that are often lacking in traditional healthcare settings.

HEAR AGAIN

THE TELEMEDICINE BOOM

One of the most significant shifts in the medical franchise landscape is the rise of telemedicine. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telehealth services, and franchisors were quick to recognize the potential.

Telemedicine has leveraged technology to provide medical consultations, diagnostic services, and even prescription refills remotely. This model not only meets the consumer’s demand for convenience but also addresses the growing need for healthcare in underserved areas. Many franchisors in the wellness space have effectively outsourced the medical component of their franchise needs to providers who can fill this requirement.

Telemedicine is expected to remain a key growth area for medical franchises, particularly as technology continues to advance and regulations evolve to support remote care. The convenience of accessing healthcare from home, combined with the potential for cost savings, makes telemedicine an attractive option for both consumers and franchisees.

THE DRIVING FORCES BEHIND GROWTH

The growth of health, beauty, and medical franchises is driven by several key factors. First and foremost is the aging population. As the Baby Boomer generation enters retirement, there is an increased focus on health, wellness, and longevity. This demographic is particularly interested in services that promise to enhance quality of life, whether through preventative health care, fitness, or cosmetic treatments.

Another driving force is the millennial generation, which has embraced the concept of self-care and wellness. Millennials are more likely to invest in health and beauty services, viewing

them as essential components of their overall well-being. This generation’s preference for experiences over material goods also bodes well for franchises offering personalized, high-touch services.

Technology plays a crucial role in this growth as well. Advances in medical technology have made procedures safer, more effective, and more accessible. From non-invasive cosmetic treatments to at-home diagnostic tests, technology is enabling franchises to offer cutting-edge services that meet the evolving needs of consumers.

Finally, the franchising model itself is a key factor in this growth. For entrepreneurs, franchising offers a proven business model, brand recognition, and ongoing support—an attractive proposition in a competitive market. For franchisors, the ability to scale quickly and capitalize on emerging trends is a significant advantage. The health, beauty, and medical sectors, with their strong consumer demand and high-profit margins, are particularly well-suited to the franchising model.

THE FUTURE OF HEALTH, BEAUTY, AND MEDICAL FRANCHISING

As Americans continue to prioritize health, beauty, and wellness, the growth of these franchising sectors shows no signs of slowing. The demand for services that help consumers look younger, feel better, and live healthier lives is expected to remain strong, particularly as new technologies and treatments become available.

Franchisors who can adapt to changing consumer preferences, leverage technology, and offer personalized, results-driven services will be well-positioned to capitalize on this growth. For investors and entrepreneurs, the health, beauty, and medical franchise sectors represent a promising opportunity to tap into one of the fastest-growing areas of the franchise industry.

As people continue to seek out ways to enhance their appearance, improve their health, and extend their lives, franchises in these sectors will continue to thrive, offering the products and services that meet these deeply ingrained desires.

Hospital and Research

Centre (KFSH&RC) stands as a premier institution in the healthcare landscape of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Renowned for its cutting-edge medical services, advanced research, and unwavering commitment to patient care, KFSH&RC has established itself as a leader not only in the Middle East but also on the global stage. This article explores the history, achievements, and contributions of KFSH&RC in transforming

A

Visionary Foundation

KFSH&RC was founded in 1975 under the auspices of the late King Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who envisioned a hospital that would provide the highest standards of medical care to the people of Saudi Arabia. The hospital was established in Riyadh, the capital city, with the mission to serve as a specialized medical facility for complex and critical health conditions. From its inception, KFSH&RC was designed to offer services that were not readily available in other parts of the Kingdom, particularly in areas such as oncology, organ transplantation, and cardiovascular surgery.

World-Class Medical Services

KFSH&RC has consistently been at the forefront of medical innovation, offering

a comprehensive range of specialized services that address some of the most challenging health conditions. The hospital is renowned for its expertise in oncology, where it provides state-of-the-art treatments for various types of cancer.

The hospital is also a leader in organ transplantation, having performed thousands of lifesaving procedures since its establishment. KFSH&RC's transplant program covers a

wide range of organs, including kidneys, livers, hearts, and lungs. The hospital's success in this field is attributed to its multidisciplinary approach, involving teams of surgeons, physicians, and support staff who work together to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients.

In addition to oncology and transplantation, KFSH&RC is recognized for its excellence in cardiovascular care. The hospital's cardiac center offers a full spectrum of services, from diagnostic imaging to complex surgeries such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and heart valve replacement. The center's success rates are

among the highest in the world, reflecting the hospital's commitment to delivering superior care.

KFSH&RC has been instrumental in identifying and characterizing genetic mutations associated with hereditary diseases common in the region, such as sickle cell anemia and familial hypercholesterolemia. This research has not only contributed to the global understanding of these conditions but has also paved the way for the development of targeted therapies that can improve patient outcomes.

Abdullah Alkobrish: Co- founder at Franway for Franchise Services

Can you tell us about your background and what inspired you to become an entrepreneur?

I was born into a family with a strong business background, I’ve always been on a path shaped by my father’s entrepreneurial spirit. From a young age, I was immersed in the business world, learning the ropes of commerce and leadership through handson experience. Growing up as the eldest son, I was introduced to the family business at a young age. By fourth grade, I was already accompanying my father to the company, taking on tasks related to operations and logistics. My involvement increased as I entered high school, where I began handling administrative responsibilities. This early exposure cultivated my passion for entrepreneurship and led me to choose accounting as my major in university, a decision influenced by my close relationship with my father.

What was the defining moment or idea that led to the creation of your business?

The pivotal moment that solidified my desire to become a businessman came after my university graduation. I envisioned how to drive growth in the family company and sought opportunities to expand its reach. A major turning point was the acquisition of

a limestone and sandstone factory in Riyadh. This strategic move not only improved the company's supply chain but also significantly reduced costs, demonstrating my ability to turn innovative ideas into practical solutions.

How did you approach financing your startup and what challenges did you face during the early stages?

Securing funding for my entrepreneurial ventures presented its own set of challenges. Initially, I relied on a favorable loan from my father, as startup funding was not readily available in Saudi Arabia at the time. However, Saudi Vision 2030 introduced numerous funding sources and incentives

for entrepreneurs. Despite this, I faced significant obstacles, including a lack of expertise in manufacturing processes and knowledge of the stone industry. Challenges ranged from selecting the right blocks and quarries to negotiating prices and managing financial agreements.

Can you share some of the key accomplishments and goals your business has achieved since its inception?

To address these challenges, I focused on building relationships with trustworthy suppliers who were willing to support and grow with the business. I implemented a comparative pricing strategy to stay competitive in the market.

One of my notable achievements was the development of a manufacturing methodology that enhanced production efficiency and reduced waste. By upgrading machinery and setting specific criteria for stone selection, I improved production rates and quality, resulting in a fivefold increase in factory sales and the successful funding of large-scale projects.

What strategies have you used to build a strong team, and how important is having the right team to your success?

Following the success of the factory, the team and I turned our focus to the growing housing sector around 20092010 in Saudi Arabia. We invested heavily in concrete manufacturing plants, which proved highly successful for three years. After this period, I shifted my focus back to the water and sewage sector, continuing to work closely with my father to address new challenges and opportunities in this crucial field.

Did you encounter any major setbacks or failures along the way, and what did you learn from them?

On a personal level, starting from 2013/2014, I embarked on a new phase of my career in the entertainment and restaurant investment sector. The biggest challenge was selecting a concept with growth potential for the next five years and ensuring it was viable. Financing was secured through bank loans. Key challenges included acquiring customers, meeting their needs, understanding their behavior, and ensuring

repeat visits—particularly in the restaurant and café industry. Abdullah’s investment journey in the restaurant and café sector has been notably influenced by Abdullah AlKoursh, a prominent investor with over 20 years of experience. Al-Koursh is a pioneer in the restaurant industry in southern Saudi Arabia, renowned for his expertise in attracting customers, innovating brands, developing products, and effective pricing and marketing strategies.

How do you stay innovative and adapt to changes in your industry or market?

I’ve always been proactive in the restaurant and café sector. I identified a significant market gap in providing specialized franchise consulting, becoming one of the first consulting firms in the franchise sector. I also contributed to developing the national strategy for the commercial sector in Saudi Arabia.

How do you deal with competition, and what sets your business apart from others in your industry?

To stand out from the competition, I emphasize delivering high-quality work at a fair value. I help brands transition into commercial support roles, facilitating their growth with minimal risk. My approach includes having the business owner or entrepreneur actively involved in the process, participating in meetings, and maintaining continuous oversight of quality. Regular communication with clients, understanding their challenges,

and promptly addressing obstacles with the team helped me maintain a unique position in the market, distinguishing my business from competitors. Often.

How do you manage work-life balance, and what advice can you give to other entrepreneurs facing this challenge?

Balancing work and personal life is one of the greatest challenges entrepreneurs face, especially in the first three to five years of starting a business. This period demands focus and a high level of education, making balance difficult. However, it is essential to work smart, not just hard, to achieve strategic goals. Entrepreneurs need to allocate specific time for personal life, including engaging in physical exercise to enhance thinking, find solutions, and reduce stress associated with entrepreneurship. Additionally, having a circle of friends outside the business environment is important for relaxation and gaining positive energy, which ultimately improves work performance.

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi has rapidly established itself as a premier healthcare institution in the MENA region since its opening in 2015. With a reputation built on providing world-class medical services, the hospital has become a beacon of excellence, particularly in the realm of cardiovascular care for seniors. As the MENA region faces an increasing aging population, the role of institutions like Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi becomes even more critical in addressing the unique healthcare needs of older adults.

The Growing Need for Cardiovascular Care in Seniors

The MENA region is witnessing a significant demographic shift, with a growing proportion of its population entering their senior years. This shift brings with it a rise in age-related health conditions, particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), CVDs are the leading cause of death globally, and the MENA region is no exception. Seniors are particularly vulnerable to conditions such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, and heart failure, making specialized cardiovascular care essential.

The hospital’s Heart & Vascular Institute is equipped with the latest technology in cardiac care, enabling accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of complex cardiovascular

conditions. The institute boasts advanced imaging technology, such as 3D echocardiography and cardiac MRI, which provide detailed views of the heart’s structure and function. These tools are particularly valuable in diagnosing conditions like heart valve disease, which is prevalent among seniors.

In addition to diagnostic capabilities, the Heart & Vascular Institute offers a wide range of interventional procedures, including minimally invasive surgeries that reduce recovery time and risk for elderly patients. The hospital’s hybrid operating rooms allow for a seamless transition between catheterbased interventions and openheart surgery, ensuring that patients receive the most appropriate treatment with minimal disruption.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s approach to cardiovascular care is highly personalized, recognizing that each senior patient has unique needs and medical histories. The hospital’s multidisciplinary teams, comprising cardiologists, geriatricians, and other specialists, work together to develop individualized treatment plans that address the specific challenges faced by older adults.

For instance, seniors with multiple comorbidities, such as diabetes or kidney disease, require careful management to avoid complications during cardiac treatment. Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s specialists are skilled in balancing the treatment of cardiovascular conditions with the

management of other chronic diseases, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive care. Moreover, the hospital places a strong emphasis on patient education and empowerment. Seniors and their families are provided with detailed information about their conditions, treatment options, and lifestyle modifications that can improve heart health. This focus on education helps patients make informed decisions about their care and encourages adherence to treatment plans, ultimately leading to better outcomes.

Preventive Care and Early Intervention

Prevention is a cornerstone of Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s cardiovascular care strategy, particularly for seniors who are at increased risk of heart disease. The hospital offers a range of preventive services, including regular screenings for hypertension, cholesterol levels, and other risk factors associated with cardiovascular diseases. Early detection of these risk factors allows for timely intervention, which can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing serious heart conditions.

The hospital also offers comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation programs designed to help seniors recover from heart attacks, surgeries, or other cardiac events. These programs include supervised exercise sessions, nutritional counseling, and psychological support, all tailored to the needs of older adults. The goal is not only to aid in recovery but also to promote long-term

heart health and prevent future cardiac events.

The Role of Research and Innovation

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s commitment to cardiovascular care extends beyond clinical services; the hospital is also deeply involved in research and innovation. The hospital’s collaboration with its parent institution, Cleveland Clinic in the United States, allows for the exchange of knowledge and expertise, ensuring that patients in Abu Dhabi benefit from the latest advancements in cardiovascular medicine.

Research initiatives at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi focus on understanding the unique cardiovascular challenges faced by the MENA region’s aging population. For example, studies are being conducted on the prevalence of genetic factors that contribute to heart disease among seniors in the region. The findings from such research are used to develop targeted therapies and preventive strategies that are culturally and regionally relevant.

Innovation is also a key aspect of the hospital’s approach to care.

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi is continually exploring new technologies and treatment modalities that can improve the quality of life for seniors with cardiovascular conditions. This includes the use of telemedicine to monitor patients remotely, allowing for continuous care without the need for frequent hospital visits—a particularly valuable service for elderly patients with mobility issues.

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi stands as a leader

in cardiovascular care for seniors in the MENA region. Its comprehensive approach, combining state-of-the-art technology, personalized treatment plans, preventive care, and a commitment to research and innovation, ensures that older adults receive the highest standard of care. As the MENA region’s population continues to age, the role of institutions like Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi will be increasingly vital in addressing the healthcare needs of seniors and improving their quality of life. With its dedication to excellence, the hospital is not only treating heart disease but also paving the way for a healthier future for the region’s aging population.

What’s Next for Senior and Medical Franchising

by Seth Lederman, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

The senior and medical franchising sector is expanding, driven by the increasing need for specialized and compassionate care for aging populations. As the demand for these services skyrockets, understanding the intricacies of home healthcare franchising becomes essential. Anyone interested in franchising should investigate this option to see if it might fit their long-term professional goals.

HOW HOME HEALTH CARE WORKS

Home healthcare businesses provide skilled, in-home medical care to help patients recover and regain independence. These services range from nursing care to physical and occupational therapy and medical social services. Despite the growing demand, there are only a few home healthcare franchises in the country, making this a ripe opportunity for entrepreneurs. The process typically begins with a physician recommending a home health care agency and prescribing a treatment plan for the patient. Much like getting a prescription fulfilled at a pharmacy, the patient receives care in the comfort of their home. This model ensures that patients receive personalized

care and alleviates the burden on hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

If helping seniors make the most of their retirement years appeals to you, read on to learn more about the benefits of franchising in the senior and medical arena.

TOP REASONS TO CONSIDER HEALTH CARE FRANCHISING

According to the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC), about 12 million Americans receive home healthcare services each year. As the largest retiring population in history nears retirement—by 2030, all boomers will be at least age 65—the baby boomer generation is creating an unprecedented demand for home healthcare services. With approximately 90% of adults aged 65 and older saying they would prefer to age in their own homes, the need for home health care is immense. Many seniors consider aging in place ideal because they desire to be independent and maintain control of their own space. It also affords seniors a feeling of safety in their neighborhood. Finally, it allows them to stay in a familiar environment, helping them to maintain a stronger sense of identity and to remain socially connected to friends. Staying engaged with their community is a huge benefit of aging in place for many seniors.

Aging in place requires careful planning, including in-home help and healthcare decisions, considering safety,

mobility, and daily activities. Individuals may need assistance with daily living activities like bathing, eating, dressing, and moving, which paid caregivers or family members can provide.

A home health franchisee plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between the physician’s recommendations and the patient’s needs. They partner with physicians and the patient’s family to deliver skilled home health care services. This involves coordinating with licensed medical staff to provide comprehensive care, including nursing, therapy, and medical social services. The franchisee ensures that all services are delivered efficiently and meet the highest standards of care.

In addition to its innovative services and robust support system, Degree Wellness

places a strong emphasis on brand aesthetics and customer experience.

Lindora's Origin and Experience Founded in 1971 in Southern California, Lindora is a leading provider of medically guided wellness and metabolic health

solutions. For over 50 years, Lindora has helped tens of thousands of people live healthier lives through its suite of services that support metabolic health, including weight management programs that incorporate nutrition, lifestyle, exercise, and the latest innovations in weight loss medications (GLP-1); IV hydration; hormone replacement therapy (TRT); and other services.

One More Day

by Rudy Frederico, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

Life is precious. It is said that those that are terminally ill, living day to day, hope every day that they have one more day. As we age, we don’t know how many more days we have. To that end, we tend to seek ways to live healthier and make up for our recklessness of our past. We want more days. What we fail to realize is that our bodies are built to help us fight this fight if we supply it with what it needs. So what is the solution?

IV Nutrition.

IV Nutrition was created to help people identify and supply their bodies with the nutrients and supplements to support the body’s innate ability to fix and support itself. “The human body is a self-healing, self-regenerating organism, capable of restoring health and balance. However, in order for our bodies to do this, it requires higher levels of nutrients to repair tissue, restore energy, offset oxidative stress and free radicals, and regenerate our cells.” Their purpose is to give us more days.

So, what is IV Nutrition? It’s not your standard IV therapy center where clients seek out hydration or immunity boosts. This is next-level, customized treatment for every customer. Their areas of focus include Athletic Recovery, Increased Energy and Vitality, Hangover Recovery, Boosting Immunity,

treating Chronic Conditions, treatments for Beauty like stronger Hair, Nails or better Skin, IV Hydration and Weight Management. They even help clients with A.D.D., A.D.H.D., Diabetes, arthritis digestive issues and more. They define it as “functional therapy”.

IV Nutrition was created with this find of therapy in mind. Doctors Jason Fechter and Tara Zeller, colleagues from college, founded the concept in 2017 and opened their first retail location the following year. After proving their concept and seeking to help more people, they began franchising the idea in 2019. Today they have 34 open franchised locations across 16 states with 96 more

units in development. They are opening at a rate of 2 to 6 locations a month. Several of their founding franchisees are now returning to open second and third locations speaking to the demand for the service and success of the model. They have had great success in their home market of Kansas City as well as in Texas and Florida. Target growth states include Illinois, New York and other northern states.

Dr. Jason shared with us one of their greatest franchise successes comes from a woman with no medical background who came in, followed the program and was cash-flow breakeven in just 3 months. This franchise

operator has come back to secure four additional locations in her area. And she enjoys giving her customers more days as well.

He also shared with us who IV Nutrition typically helps in their clinics. Many customers partake in IV therapy to optimize their health. Athletes seeking faster recovery and everyday people who just want to feel healthy. The recent pandemic significantly raised awareness on health issues and this has been a lift for them. But Dr. Jason also pointed out that many people seek them out because they can’t afford not to. Those with chronic issues that are looking for a better way of life find great benefit from customized IV therapy. So, if you’re in the market to feel better, find IV Nutrition near you. If there isn’t one, maybe you could be the catalyst to give more people more days by owning your own IV Nutrition and

serve your community. For more information, connect with one of the franchise consultants here in Franchise Journal or myself at www. franchisewithrudy.com. Somebody out there is looking for one more day.

Jordyn's Joy Bringing Hope and Joy to Children Battling Life-Threatening Illnesses

by Anthony Gallo, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

In a world often overshadowed by darkness, there are individuals who radiate light and inspire others through their selflessness and compassion.

One such remarkable individual is Jordyn, a young girl who, despite her own battle with illness, decided to create Jordyn's Joy, a foundation dedicated to bringing hope

and joy to children facing life-threatening illnesses.

Jordyn's journey and the incredible work her foundation does through toy drives in the community, involving local schools, businesses, and entrepreneurs. Jordyn's story is one of resilience, determination, and an unwavering spirit. Diagnosed with a life-threatening illness at a young age, she experienced firsthand the challenges that come with battling a serious medical condition. However, instead of succumbing to despair, Jordyn found solace in the idea of bringing joy to others in similar situations.

Jordyn's Joy was born out of Jordyn's desire to make a positive impact on the lives of children facing similar struggles. With the support of her family and friends, she envisioned a foundation that would provide hope, comfort, and joy to those in need. Thus, Jordyn's Joy came into existence, named after its founder, who wanted to ensure that every child battling a life-threatening illness

could experience moments of happiness and inspiration.

Spreading Joy is one of the key initiatives of Jordyn's Joy is organizing toy drives in the community. These drives serve to collect toys, games, and other items that can bring a smile to the faces of children who are undergoing medical treatments or spending extended periods in hospitals. The foundation collaborates with local schools, businesses, and entrepreneurs to maximize the impact of these drives and reach as many children as possible.

Jordyn's Joy recognizes the importance of engaging with local schools to foster a sense of community and instill the values of empathy and compassion in young minds. The foundation works closely with schools, encouraging students to participate in toy drives and organizing awareness campaigns to educate them about the challenges faced by children with life-threatening illnesses. By involving schools, Jordyn's Joy not only collects a significant number of toys but also creates a ripple effect of kindness and understanding among the younger generation. Jordyn's Joy has also formed partnerships with local businesses and entrepreneurs who share the foundation's vision of bringing joy to children in need. These collaborations involve hosting fundraising events, setting up collection boxes in stores, and organizing toy drives within the business premises. By involving the business community, Jordyn's Joy ensures a wide

reach and greater support for its cause, enabling it to make a lasting impact on the lives of countless children.

The impact of Jordyn's Joy extends far beyond the toys and gifts it distributes. The foundation brings hope and a sense of normalcy to children who often feel isolated and overwhelmed by their medical conditions. The joy experienced by these children, even for a fleeting moment, has the power to uplift their spirits, boost their resilience, and provide them with the strength to face their battles head-on.

Jordyn's Joy is a testament to the incredible power of one individual's determination to make a difference. Through her personal journey, Jordyn created a foundation that has touched the lives of countless children battling life-threatening illnesses. By organizing toy drives in

collaboration with local schools, businesses, and entrepreneurs, Jordyn's Joy spreads hope, joy, and inspiration within the community. As we celebrate the remarkable work of Jordyn's Joy, let us be reminded of the immense impact even the smallest acts of kindness can have on those in need.

A SHINY NEW FRANCHISE

Hearing Aid Technology: A Golden Opportunity for Franchisees

by Ann Power, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

The senior population is booming, and with it comes a growing demand for healthcare services. One area experiencing rapid growth is hearing aid technology. Advancements in this field are not only improving the quality of life for millions but also creating lucrative opportunities for franchisees.

THE AGING POPULATION: A GROWING MARKET

The baby boomer generation is rapidly entering their golden years, and hearing loss is a common health care consideration associated with aging. This demographic shift has created a massive market for hearing aids. Franchisees positioned to serve this population can expect substantial growth and profitability.

Reported in the January 2024 issue of The Hearing Journal, “In their revealing publication, Haile, Orji, Reavis, et al. (2023)3 report approximately 73 million people in the United States experience auditory problems (hearing loss, sub-clinical hearing loss, listening disorders, etc.). As one might expect, they report most problems are “mild” and “disability” was mostly experienced and reported in those with “moderate” or worse

hearing thresholds. Of note, the prevalence of hearing loss was 28% higher in 2019 than in 1990. Further, they note 10% of individuals with hearing loss use hearing aids. Therefore, an estimated one in five people experience hearing and/or listening difficulty and of those, only one in 10 use hearing aid amplification.”

TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGHS: REDEFINING HEARING CARE

The hearing aid industry has witnessed a revolution in recent years. Modern devices are no longer the bulky, stigmatized products of the past. Today's hearing aids are sleek, discreet, and packed with advanced features.

• Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI-powered hearing aids can adapt to different listening environments, automatically adjusting settings for optimal sound quality.

• Health Tracking: Steps, Blood pressure and fall detection.

• Connectivity: Bluetooth compatibility allows seamless streaming of audio from smartphones, TVs, and other devices.

• Rechargeable Batteries: Eliminating the need for frequent battery changes, rechargeable options enhance convenience.

• Smartphone Integration: Companion apps provide users with control over their hearing aids and access to valuable information.

• Sound Protection with Prescription Products: Utilizing the latest custom technology in preventing hearing loss from noise exposure. These advancements have not only improved the user experience but also expanded the potential customer base.

FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITIES: A SOUND INVESTMENT

For franchisees, the hearing aid industry offers a compelling business model.

• Recurring Revenue: Hearing aids typically require replacement every few years, ensuring a steady income stream.

• High Profit Margins: Advanced hearing aids command premium prices, leading to substantial profit margins.

• Essential Service: Hearing aids are a necessity for many seniors, creating a consistent demand for products and services.

• Customer Loyalty: By providing exceptional service and support, franchisees can build strong relationships with clients, leading to repeat business and referrals.

KEY TO SUCCESS: FOCUS ON CUSTOMER CARE

While technology is a driving force, the success of a hearing aid franchise ultimately hinges on customer care. Providing personalized fittings, comprehensive hearing assessments, and ongoing support are essential for

building trust and loyalty. Additionally, staying informed about the latest technological advancements is crucial. By offering cuttingedge products and services, franchisees can differentiate themselves from competitors and attract tech-savvy seniors. The convergence of an aging population and groundbreaking technology has created a golden opportunity for hearing aid franchisees. By understanding the needs of the senior market and leveraging the latest advancements, franchisees can build thriving businesses while making a positive impact on the lives of their customers.

Boost Home Healthcare: Setting Itself Apart in the Home Healthcare Franchise Industry

by Joe Fox, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

The home healthcare industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors globally, driven by an aging population and the increasing preference for inhome care over institutional settings. In this competitive landscape, numerous franchises offer home healthcare services, each with their own unique set of features and operational strategies. However, Boost Home Healthcare stands out among its peers, thanks to several distinguishing traits that make it a compelling choice for both franchisees and clients. Boost has over 20 years of successful experience in healthcare and is backed by Best Life Brands, a leader in senior industry franchise brands.

1. COMPREHENSIVE AND PERSONALIZED CARE SERVICES

One of the primary differentiators of Boost Home Healthcare is its commitment to providing a wide range of personalized care services. Unlike some franchises that focus solely on non-medical care or basic companionship, Boost Home Healthcare offers a full spectrum of services, including skilled nursing,

physical therapy, occupational therapy, and more. This allows the franchise to cater to a diverse clientele, from those needing minimal assistance with daily activities to individuals requiring complex medical care.

The personalized approach is central to Boost’s philosophy.

The franchise emphasizes creating tailored care plans that address the specific needs of each client. This customization ensures that clients receive the right level of care, which enhances their overall well-being and satisfaction. The ability to deliver both medical and

non-medical services under one roof sets Boost Home Healthcare apart from many other franchises that may limit their offerings.

2. STRONG SUPPORT AND TRAINING FOR FRANCHISEES

Boost Home Healthcare recognizes that the success of its franchisees directly impacts the quality of care delivered to clients. Therefore, the franchise places a significant emphasis on providing robust support and training to its franchise partners. This support begins even before a franchise is launched, with comprehensive initial training that covers all aspects of running a home healthcare business, from clinical care protocols to business management and marketing strategies. Moreover, Boost offers ongoing support to ensure franchisees stay updated with the latest industry trends, regulatory changes, and best practices. This includes access to a network of industry experts, regular training sessions, and a dedicated support team that is always available to assist with any operational challenges. The continuous investment in franchisee education and support helps maintain high standards of care across all locations, which is a key differentiator compared to other franchises that may offer less extensive support.

3. COMMITMENT TO QUALITY AND COMPLIANCE

In the home healthcare industry, maintaining high standards of care and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements are critical for long-term success. Boost Home Healthcare has established itself as a leader in this regard, with a strong focus on quality assurance and regulatory compliance. The franchise has developed rigorous protocols and procedures to ensure that all care services meet or exceed industry standards. Boost also invests heavily in technology to support its quality assurance efforts. For example, the franchise utilizes advanced software systems for care management, which help monitor the quality of care in real-time and facilitate compliance with healthcare regulations. These systems

also provide valuable data that can be used to continuously improve service delivery and client outcomes. This proactive approach to quality and compliance is a distinguishing factor that sets Boost Home Healthcare apart from competitors who may not prioritize these aspects as highly.

4. INNOVATIVE MARKETING AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Another area where Boost Home Healthcare excels is in its marketing and community engagement strategies. Understanding that trust and local reputation are crucial in the home healthcare sector, Boost places a strong emphasis on building relationships within the communities it serves. The franchise encourages its locations to actively participate in community

events, collaborate with local healthcare providers, and engage with potential clients and their families through educational seminars and outreach programs.

Boost’s marketing approach is also innovative, leveraging both traditional and digital marketing channels to reach a wider audience. The franchise provides its partners with comprehensive marketing support, including access to professionally designed marketing materials, digital marketing strategies, and guidance on how to effectively promote their services locally. This well-rounded approach to marketing and community

engagement helps Boost franchisees build strong, trust-based relationships with clients, which is often a critical factor in the decision-making process for families seeking home healthcare services.

THE RESULT

In an industry where trust, quality, and personalized care are paramount, Boost Home Healthcare has successfully differentiated itself from other home healthcare franchises. Through its comprehensive service offerings, robust support for franchisees, commitment to quality and compliance, and innovative marketing strategies, Boost has established a strong

reputation as a leader in the home healthcare sector. Boost is a great option for franchisees looking to enter this growing market. Boost Home Healthcare offers a unique and compelling opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those they serve.

Paul Davis Restoration of Tampa crew came together for a special team building event in support of the American Red Cross and our local Tampa Bay ARC chapter. The event, held at the Tampa office, was not just an opportunity for team building, but also to acquire vital life-saving skills through CPR training to further assist the community in time of need.

The training session, conducted by a certified American Red Cross instructor Paul Wichert, equipped the team with the knowledge and skills needed to perform CPR in any emergency situations. The team learned basic CPR, AED, choking, severe wound first aid, and environmental first aid. This

initiative underscores Paul Davis of Tampa’s commitment to the safety and well-being of their community, reflecting the core values of Paul Davis Restoration.

The national franchisor entered a sponsorship agreement with the American Red Cross in January of this year.

“So far we’ve held Blood Drives and Sound the Alert community programs that introduced smoke detectors to the community, and we helped distribute them with the help of local firefighters,” said Darren Impson, Owner of PDR of Tampa.

“I’m also thrilled to have been recently named to the Board of Directors for the Tampa Bay American Red Cross chapter,” Impson added.

“OUR TEAM LEFT THE TRAINING FEELING MORE CONFIDENT IN THEIR ABILITY TO RESPOND TO EMERGENCIES, READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ALL CRITICAL MOMENTS AND SITUATIONS.”

— Darren Impson, Owner of PDR, Tampa

“Darren’s leadership and dedication to community service inspires his team to actively support organizations like the Red Cross, which play a crucial role in disaster relief and preparedness,” said members of Impson’s team.

“This event was not just a learning experience but also a chance to deepen our connection with the American Red Cross and its mission,” explained Impson. “Our team left the training feeling more confident in their ability to respond to emergencies, ready to make a difference in all critical moments and situations.”

Impson encourages everyone in the community to consider getting certified in CPR and to support the American Red Cross in their vital work. Paul Davis Restoration staff and team

members are known as #thedifferencemakers.

Paul Davis Restoration has established their own fundraising site with the goal of increasing their overall donation to the American Red Cross from their initial $500,000 to a total of $1,000,000.

Capitalizing on the Silver Tsunami

How the Growing Senior Population Fuels the Booming In-Home Care Industry and Creates Lucrative Franchise Opportunities

by Patty Cordoba, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

The rapid growth of the senior population, often referred to as the "Silver Tsunami," presents a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors. As the Baby Boomer generation ages, the demand for in-home care services has surged, creating a lucrative market for those looking to capitalize on this trend. Among the key players in this expanding field is Seniors Helping Seniors, a franchise that not only meets the rising demand but also offers significant benefits to franchise owners. This article explores how the growth of the senior population fuels the in-home care industry, the advantages of owning a Seniors Helping Seniors franchise, and the positive impact on communities.

THE SILVER TSUNAMI AND THE IN-HOME CARE INDUSTRY

The United States is experiencing a dramatic increase in its senior population. By 2030, it is estimated that one in five Americans will be 65 or older, with over 72 million seniors

projected by that time (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020). This demographic shift has spurred a rising demand for in-home care services, as many seniors prefer to age in place rather than move to assisted living facilities or nursing homes. In-home care offers several advantages, including personalized care tailored to the individual's needs, the comfort of staying in a familiar environment, and often a more cost-effective solution compared to institutional

care settings. This growing preference is driving the need for innovative and compassionate care solutions, positioning companies like Seniors Helping Seniors at the forefront of the industry.

PROVEN FRANCHISE MODEL

Seniors Helping Seniors operates on a franchise model that has been refined and tested over the years. The company’s approach focuses on pairing seniors with trained

caregivers who are also seniors, fostering a unique bond and understanding. This model has demonstrated success and offers franchisees a blueprint for operating a profitable business.

FINANCIAL BENEFITS

Owning a Seniors Helping Seniors franchise can be financially rewarding. The in-home care industry is experiencing robust growth, with the global market projected to reach $560 billion by 2025 (Grand View Research, 2021). This expansion translates to significant revenue potential for franchise owners. Additionally, the company’s established brand and operational support reduce the risk associated with starting a new business.

FRANCHISE SUPPORT

Franchisees benefit from comprehensive support, including training, marketing assistance, and operational guidance. Seniors Helping Seniors provides its franchisees with a well-developed support system, ensuring that new owners have the tools and knowledge to succeed. This includes access to best practices, ongoing training, and a network of experienced peers.

FLEXIBILITY AND INDEPENDENCE

franchise ownership with Seniors Helping Seniors offers flexibility, allowing owners to manage their business in a way that fits their lifestyle and goals. This autonomy is coupled with the advantage of operating under a recognized

brand that carries significant market credibility.

IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY AND MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS

Owning a Seniors Helping Seniors franchise goes beyond financial success; it also makes a meaningful impact on the community. The company’s approach to in-home care addresses several critical issues facing the senior population:

Reducing Isolation: Social isolation is a significant concern among seniors, impacting their mental and physical health. By providing companionship and support through in-home care, Seniors Helping Seniors helps combat loneliness. Caregivers and clients often form deep connections, which can greatly enhance the quality of life for seniors.

Improving Mental Health: The companionship provided by caregivers who understand the challenges of aging contributes to improved mental health. Studies have shown that social interactions and meaningful relationships can reduce the risk of depression and cognitive decline among seniors (National Institute on Aging, 2022).

Community Engagement: Franchise owners play a vital role in their local communities, offering employment opportunities and fostering a supportive environment for seniors. By investing in a Seniors Helping Seniors franchise, owners contribute to the well-being of their communities and address a critical need for quality inhome care services.

BRING YOUR OWNERSHIP VISION TO LIFE

The growth of the senior population, driven by the Silver Tsunami, is transforming the in-home care industry into a thriving sector with ample opportunities for entrepreneurs. Seniors Helping Seniors stands out as a franchise that not only offers financial advantages but also makes a significant positive impact on the lives of seniors and their communities.

For prospective franchisees, owning a Seniors Helping Seniors franchise means embracing a proven business

model with strong financial prospects, receiving extensive support from the franchisor, and contributing to the wellbeing of seniors by addressing issues of isolation and mental health. As the demand for inhome care continues to rise, investing in a Seniors Helping Seniors franchise presents a compelling opportunity to be part of a meaningful and profitable industry.

sugaringLA is Disrupting the Hair Removal Industry with Organic, Non-Toxic Care

by Marisa Kochnover, Director of Development, sugaringLA

If you are old enough to remember when CDs replaced cassette tapes, you'll recall how they revolutionized music with superior sound quality, durability, and track-skipping convenience. This shift transformed consumer behavior and reshaped the music industry. That revolutionizing moment in time is exactly where we are for self care, specifically the hair removal industry. Over half of today's consumers are seeking better hair removal options, but have a lack of access to it. sugaringLA is poised to capture this massive opportunity and change the way people remove hair from their bodies forever. In a world increasingly aware of the harmful chemicals present in everyday products, the beauty industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Consumers are seeking alternatives that are not only effective but also safe for their bodies and the environment. sugaringLA, a leader in the hair removal industry, is at the forefront of this change, offering an organic, non-toxic hair removal method that is safe for EVERY BODY. With its commitment to using only the finest organic

products and a proprietary process that outperforms traditional methods, sugaringLA is setting a new standard for self care.

sugaringLA was founded to provide something beyond traditional methods for hair removal with products and services not only better for the customers, but the environment as well. For years, at sugaringLA, clients were met with a customized, elevated, and more effective treatment for hair removal. Now, the brand is poised to disrupt the entire self care industry bringing quality sugaring to EVERY BODY nationwide.

THE ORGANIC DIFFERENCE

sugaringLA is more than just a hair removal service; it is a movement towards a healthier, more sustainable approach to personal care. The company uses an all-organic sugar paste, made from just three simple ingredients: sugar, water, and lemon juice. This natural blend is not only effective but also completely biodegradable and even edible, making it a perfect choice for those conscious of

their environmental impact. Unlike traditional waxing, which often contains synthetic resins and harsh chemicals, sugaring is gentle on the skin. The sugar paste is never used hot. Rather, it is applied at body temperature, eliminating the risk of burns, a common issue with hot wax. This natural formula is hypoallergenic and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the benefits of smooth, hair-free skin without the worry of adverse reactions.

MORE EFFECTIVE, LESS PAINFUL

Although sugaring is considered an ancient form of hair removal, sugaringLA utilizes a unique, proprietary Smart Sugaring™ method to remove hair with a modern twist. Sugaring removes unwanted hair by applying a paste of only three simple ingredients – lemon, water and sugar. At sugaringLA, there are four different types of this sugaring paste allowing our sugarists to customize the experience based on

age, skin type, hair texture, temperature on the skin, temperature in the room, etc. All of these are contributory factors in the comfort level, making your experience at sugaringLA significantly less painful. Additionally, hot wax is applied in the direction of the hair growth, and removed in the opposite direction, causing live skin to lift, the hair follicle to tear, and results in redness, irritation and ingrown hairs. Conversely, sugaring uses a body temperature mixture that can only attach to dead skin cells, so while the hair is gently removed, there is an incomparable level of exfoliation and skin conditioning benefit that leaves the skin remarkably soft with little to no redness or down time.

FASTER, MORE CONVENIENT SESSIONS

In our fast-paced world, time is a luxury, and sugaringLA understands this. Their Smart Sugaring™ technique is a game-changer! It is not only more effective, but also faster than traditional waxing and

other sugaring options. A typical Brazilian sugaring session, for instance, can be completed in just 15 minutes, compared to the 45 minutes typically required for a Brazilian wax. This efficiency doesn’t come at the expense of quality; in fact, it enhances the experience, allowing clients to fit sessions into their busy schedules with ease. With sugaringLA, achieving smooth, hair-free skin is quicker and more convenient than ever before, allowing the client an elevated offering, the sugarist more clients a day meaning a higher income potential, and the business owner a larger opportunity to capture revenue.

GENTLE ON THE SKIN, SAFE FOR EVERY BODY

Hair removal has historically been seen as feminine focused

and typically marketed towards women getting ready for a pool day or a date night. This is the direct antithesis of sugaringLA’s brand positioning and market message. This space is intentionally created to be a gender neutral, warm and inviting studio where EVERY BODY is welcome to come feel good in their skin. Sugaring is suitable for all skin tones, textures, and ages. Unlike waxing, which can cause hyperpigmentation or scarring on certain skin types, sugaring is gentle and safe for everyone. This inclusivity is a core value of sugaringLA, ensuring that every client, regardless of their skin type or age, can experience the benefits of organic, elevated hair removal.

JOIN US IN DISRUPTING THE INDUSTRY

sugaringLA is quickly

becoming a strong competitor in the franchise industry by offering a fresh approach to hair removal. As more people look for eco-friendly and effective beauty options, sugaringLA’s franchise opportunities are gaining traction, making it a serious player in the franchise world.

Growing With the Industry: A Place At Home's Strategic Services Expansion

by Jerod Evanich, co-founder, A Place At Home

The senior population is one of the fastestgrowing demographics in the U.S., with 10,000 seniors turning 65 every day, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Most seniors want to age in the comfort of their own homes, but as the Home Care Association of America reports, 70% of them will need some sort of assistance with

daily living activities. Statistics like this are why the senior care industry is seeing some of the fastest growth among franchise industries.

Franchises like A Place At Home are redefining success in the senior care industry by diversifying their service offerings. While some brands offer only in-home care, transportation, or staffing, A

Place At Home has strategically added service lines to follow its clients through their aging journey. These service lines also open new revenue opportunities for franchise owners.

INNOVATING BEYOND BASIC CARE

Founded on a commitment

to providing high-quality senior care, A Place At Home continuously adapts to market demands by integrating additional service lines that complement its core offering of non-medical in-home senior care.

“When looking at a new service line, it’s crucial to look at the market dynamics and determine if it’s sustainable or just a temporary trend,” said Jerod Evanich, President and Co-Founder of A Place At Home. “Understanding whether to add a new service involves a strategic evaluation of market demand and ensuring it’s a natural extension of existing services.”

Another factor A Place At Home considers when adding a service line is the franchise owner. It needs to make sense not only for the customer but also for franchisees.

“We work to ensure that franchise owners don’t feel burdened or overwhelmed by adding a service line but feel empowered and confident. We want them to feel that they’re bringing value to their market and positively impacting their bottom line without being distracted from providing exceptional senior care,” said Evanich.

One successful example is the addition of A Place At Home’s senior placement services. Evanich and his co-founder

Dustin Distefano wanted their journey with clients to continue after they move out of their houses. So, they began helping seniors find an appropriate senior living facility and charged them for the time spent on the process.

However, with experience and research, they discovered there are placement agencies that partner directly with the facilities. This means that instead of billing the client, A Place At Home now contracts directly with facilities, and the facility will pay a portion of what they make from A Place At Home’s client. This new approach now provides a free service to clients and established A Place At Home as a valuable partner to senior living facilities.

LEARNING FROM CHALLENGES

While adding senior placement services was successful, not every service line is destined for success. During COVID-19, A Place At Home launched the ‘A Place At Work Program’ offering employee health screenings. Despite already having the necessary staff, A Place At Home found the market saturated, with many businesses managing the screenings internally or outsourcing them to other companies.

“While this initiative turned out to be a temporary need, it shows how we’re continuously looking to improve our model to make sure franchisees have the best chance for success,” Evanich said.

Evanich emphasizes that a key factor in successfully

exploring new service lines is maintaining flexibility and a conservative approach. This starts with a clear strategy and implementation process. Keeping a tightrope on new ventures will help ensure that not too many resources are wasted on a flop.

“This cautious approach makes sure that we preserve our resources for projects with a higher profitability and longterm success,” Evanich said.

GROW AND INNOVATE WITH A PLACE AT HOME

A Place At Home has grown by nearly 200% in just the last three years to more than 60 units. Even as the franchise expands, it remains committed to its mission of improving the lives of seniors by providing comprehensive care solutions. A Place At Home franchisees currently offer in-home senior care, care coordination, senior living alternatives, and staffing solutions in long-term care communities.

The rapid brand growth underscores the increasing demand for diversified senior care solutions, reinforcing A Place At Home’s position as a leader in the industry. For entrepreneurs exploring the senior care industry, A Place At Home offers a proven franchise opportunity.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jerod Evanich co-founded A Place At Home in 2012 in Omaha, Neb., alongside his childhood friend Dustin Distefano, after both experienced challenges to find high-quality care for their loved ones. They began franchising their Senior-Focused Care model in 2017 and have grown it to more than 60 locations.

Lindora's Mission: Empowering People to Live Healthier, Longer Lives Through Metabolic Health

In today's health-conscious world, consumers are increasingly focused on holistic wellness, embracing aspects like weight management, metabolic health and longevity. This shift towards proactive health management has created a demand for personalized, science-based approaches to wellness. This shift reflects a broader movement towards proactive health management and a preference for sustainable solutions that support longterm wellness.

Lindora, a heritage brand in this field, has been at the forefront of this movement for over 50 years, going beyond traditional weight loss methods to encompass a more comprehensive approach to metabolic health and overall wellbeing for clients. It’s a holistic perspective that combines cutting-edge medical expertise with personalized care to transform lives through comprehensive metabolic health solutions incorporating nutrition, lifestyle, exercise and the latest innovations in weight-loss medications (GLP-1); IV hydration; hormone replacement therapy (TRT); and other services.

With more than 15 million patient visits since 1971,

the experts at Lindora have developed a deep understanding of the science of weight loss. Its 50 years of clinical research and experience, combined with an ongoing passion to continually improve and enhance their program, Lindora is known as the pioneer in weight management.

“Lindora brings years of rigorous weight loss research and development to our medically-guided weight management solutions that are delivered with a hospitalityminded approach,” says Dr. Amy Lee, Chief Medical Advisor for Lindora. “We strive to be the approachable authority that creates a remarkable client experience.”

So what does that experience look like for a client when they walk through Lindora’s doors? Clients embark on a transformative journey that combines advanced medical expertise with personalized care, all delivered in a welcoming and supportive environment designed to empower lasting change.

THE CLIENT JOURNEY

Now part of Xponential’s family of brands following its acquisition at the start of 2024, Lindora’s wellness boutique experience begins with a comprehensive medical

consultation and personalized assessment to learn about each client’s medical history, metabolic health journey and personal goals and obstacles.

Medically, each new member undergoes an exam and a complete lab panel.

“We conduct a VAP (Vertical Auto Profile) Cholesterol Test, a full chemistry panel that tests for diabetes indicators, inflammation and over 20 diagnostic values because it’s critically important to know your numbers,” saysLee. “It’s also empowering for clients to understand their true and current state of health beyond how they look or feel.”

The evaluation identifies risk for conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, abnormal cholesterol levels, metabolic syndrome, and other preventable diseases that may be associated with insulin resistance and excess weight.

The consultation also includes a baseline body composition assessment using In-Body. Ongoing periodic assessments are then used to track and measure progress throughout the program.

Based on all of the metrics and information gathered, a tailored 10-week plan is devised to set weight loss and body composition goals, and ultimately improve the client’s metabolic health.

SCIENCE BACKED NUTRITION DELIVERS RESULTS

Customized ketogenicbased, lean-protein, low-carb nutritional programs are largely what drive the desired results and what Lindora focuses on. Each client is monitored regarding his/her response to the programs on these medically-based, science backed meal plans. To complement this, members also receive one-on-one nutritional coaching.

“Our regimen entails educating our clients upfront, and throughout their journeys,” said Lee. “This empowers individuals to create lasting change to improve their lives when it comes to not only eating better, but moving more and reducing stress.”

A HOLISTIC APPROACH

Physical stress is well known to be destructive against overall wellbeing and Lindora addresses this as a key focus area with each client,

measuring stress by a blood biomarker called hs-CRP.

“Many clients who suffer from overweightness and obesity have an elevated number,” explains Lee. “This biomarker is a protein that is made from adipose (fat tissue) so we know that once one starts losing weight, this marker will also respond and decrease.”

Lee explains more from a holistic standpoint.

“Physical stress from inflammation is not benign,” she says. “Having a high level of inflammation can affect other condition states and also result in overall pain and aches of the body. Further, physical stress can be the result of ongoing psychological stress, so it is very important to treat the body as a whole, both mentally and physically.“

BEYOND THE WEIGHT LOSS

Taking a genuinely holistic approach and treating the body as a whole goes beyond weight loss and Lindora’s comprehensive approach delivers outcomes far beyond the number on the scale. Lindora has has developed a full suite of services to support holistic health outcomes including hormone replacement therapy, vitamin injections, IV hydration and more, with flexible plan options. Outcomes include lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, abnormal cholesterol levels and other preventable conditions and diseases associated with being overweight.

“Another benefit is a decrease in inflammation which leads to less pain, increased mobility and better

focus,” says Lee.

When it comes to metabolic health, Lee says it’s much like physical fitness.

“Once you achieve a fitness goal at the gym, you don’t quit the gym, you modify to maintain,” she says.

For each 10-week weight loss program, the final two weeks include a metabolic adjustment where clients increase their food intake to allow their bodies to acclimate to a new set point, and for the body to process additional calories.

“When our clients reach their weight loss goals, they are encouraged to transition to a maintenance program to ensure their habits and diet support maintaining their target weight,” explains Lee.

The brand offers wellness memberships to aid in weight management and help clients sustain their goal weight.

Lindora is ultimately dedicated to transforming lives for the better from the inside out which is a longterm, ongoing commitment by clients.

“For 50 years, our team of scientists, researchers, and medical advisors has been guiding people on their individual journeys toward holistic health,” says Lee. “We are helping people increase both their lifespan and healthspan.”

Serial Entrepreneur Puts His Significant Knowledge to Work With Pillar To Post Home Inspectors®

by Rhonda Sanderson, CEO, Sanderson & Associates

Tim Burke knows homes from the inside out and he believes that makes him a perfect fit as he launches a new career as an owner within the Pillar To Post Home Inspectors® network, the largest home inspection franchise in North America. The Herndon, Va., resident serves homebuyers and sellers throughout Fairfax and Loudoun counties.

The 54-year-old Burke has started and sold several home-centric businesses of his own, ranging from custom window coverings and custom closets to handyman and renovation services. “I felt it gave me a well-rounded background that will greatly assist me in growing my business,” Burke said.

Burke was downsized from his last position following a previous merger and he decided the time was right for him to go back into business for himself. “I had always thought about home inspections and figured why not now?” Burke said. “I wanted to work with a

franchise to expedite my learning curve and utilize the additional resources a franchisor provides. It took only a little research before I realized Pillar To Post Home Inspectors was the best in the business.”

Burke is a perfect fit for 500 plus locations chain and the business model affords him the opportunity to structure the business as he sees fit, whether hiring employees or doing it all himself. One thing is certain, Burke couldn’t be more eager to launch the next chapter of

his life as he returns to being a small business owner.

“I am also excited about the opportunity to educate and instill confidence in millennials, who are now becoming home buyers,” said Burke.

"Revamping our franchise system was a perfect jumping point to begin 2024,” said Eric Steward, Pillar To Post's Senior Director of Franchise Recruiting back in March. To expand its network of franchise business owners,

Pillar To Post is actively seeking individuals just like Tim Burke who are interested in building multi-inspector teams. While home inspection or real estate experience such as Tim’s is welcomed, it is considered optional.

The brand aims to accelerate its growth in both new and established markets through streamlined training approaches, technological advancements, and the proven support of a traditional franchise system.

“We have been the leader in the home inspection category for 30 years,” said Pillar To Post President and CEO Charles Furlough. “After our success so

far, this new revamp, and the addition of franchisees like Tim Burke, our process will become more efficient and streamlined for all our franchise business owners. Local business growth is our priority, as is maintaining the standards we've set. With this new process in place, we'll help franchise business owners to run, not walk, when establishing their new business."

Skipping a home inspection can be costly. A survey from insurance firm Hippo found that most homeowners – 77 percent – had to pay for an unexpected repair within the first year of owning a house. During COVID and

the subsequent housing boom, many buyers skipped contingencies like home inspections, on contracts for a scramble to win the scarce homes available. Later this contributed to their remorse for spending too much money and rushing into buying.

“No one should skip a home inspection or be put in that situation ever again,” said Burke. “The housing market around Washington, D.C., is one of the more stable markets in the country.”

ABOUT PILLAR TO POST HOME INSPECTORS®

Founded in 1994, Pillar To Post Home Inspectors is the largest home inspection company in North America with home offices in Toronto and Tampa. There are over 550 franchises located in 49 states and nine Canadian provinces. Long-term plans include adding 500 to 600 new franchisees over the next five years.

Sound Investments: How Hear Again America Franchises Benefit Baby Boomers and Teenagers with Hearing Loss

by Anissa Burdett, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

Hearing loss is a widespread issue affecting millions across different age groups, from baby boomers to teenagers. As the population ages and the number of teenagers unsafe listening practices increases, the demand for effective hearing solutions continues to grow. This creates a unique business opportunity for those looking to make a meaningful impact while enjoying financial success.

Hear Again America, a leading provider of hearing aid solutions, offers a franchise model that leverages this booming market, allowing entrepreneurs to benefit from a proven system and reputable brand.

OWNERSHIP BENEFITS WITH HEAR AGAIN AMERICA

Owning a franchise offers numerous advantages, particularly when compared to starting a business from scratch. Franchises provide a proven business model, significantly reducing the risks associated with new ventures. Franchisees benefit from established brand recognition,

ongoing support, and a loyal customer base. Hear Again America stands out in the hearing aid industry due to its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. As a franchisee of Hear Again America, you gain access to a reputable brand trusted by customers nationwide. This trust translates to a steady stream of clients seeking reliable solutions for their hearing needs. The company’s established systems and procedures ensure that

franchisees can provide consistent, high-quality service, which is crucial for building and maintaining customer loyalty. Hear Again America provides comprehensive training, marketing assistance, and operational guidance, greatly shortening the learning curve for new business owners.

FINANCIAL ADVANTAGES

The financial advantages of owning a Hear Again America franchise are substantial. The hearing aid industry

is experiencing significant growth, driven by the aging baby boomer population and the increasing prevalence of hearing loss among younger generations. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day, and this trend is expected to continue until 2030. Moreover, the World Health Organization estimates that around 1.1 billion teenagers and young adults are at risk of hearing loss due to exposure to loud noise. Franchisees benefit from multiple revenue streams, including the sale of hearing aids, maintenance services, and follow-up consultations. The profitability of a Hear Again America franchise is further enhanced by the company's competitive pricing, bulk purchasing power, and strong supplier relationships, which help to keep costs low and margins high. Additionally, the company’s established marketing strategies and national advertising campaigns drive customer traffic to franchise locations, ensuring a steady flow of business.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Hear Again America is at the

This commitment to innovation ensures that franchisees can offer the best possible solutions to their customers, staying ahead of industry trends and providing cutting-edge products and services.

IMPACT ON COMMUNITY

The impact of a Hear Again America franchise on the community cannot be overstated. Hearing loss can be a debilitating condition that affects every aspect of a person’s life. By offering high-quality hearing aids and related services, franchisees can help individuals regain their ability to communicate effectively, participate in social activities, and enjoy a higher quality of life. This, in turn, helps to reduce the stigma associated with hearing loss and encourages more people to seek help.

Addressing hearing loss in teenagers can have a profound impact on their educational and social development. Early intervention and effective treatment can help prevent the long-term consequences of untreated hearing loss, such

DEGREE WELLNESS JOINS FRANCHISE

FASTLANE’S FAMILY OF BRANDS

Emerging self-care studio offers wellness services in a luxurious setting

Franchise FastLane, the industry’s No. 1 franchise sales organization (FSO), has announced that Degree Wellness has joined their portfolio of high-performing brands. Degree Wellness is an emerging franchisor that offers consumers a wide variety of self-care solutions in state-of-the-art retail studios — empowering them to feel, look, and be their best selves. Each of the innovative services are science-backed, including Cryotherapy, Infrared Sauna, Red Light Therapy, Cold Plunge, Contrast Therapy, IV Drips, and Vitamin Booster Injections.

“We’re so pleased to welcome Degree Wellness to our family of best-in-class brands,” shared Carey Gille, CEO of Franchise FastLane. “The health, wellness, and beauty industry continues to outperform expectations and we’re very confident that Degree Wellness

will be an amazing opportunity at the community level for many new franchisees. Through our proven processes, we look forward to enhancing their leadgeneration program, as well as strengthening their sales and development efforts to drive responsible growth at the unit level.”

The services offered by Degree Wellness leverage cutting-edge technologies that offer a holistic approach to increase energy, relieve pain and inflammation, detox properly, boost metabolism, stay young, and many more healthy lifestyle solutions. The membershipbased business model offers state-of-the-art services in a retail studio setting, with private suites and touches of luxury throughout. Due to the nascent and everincreasing popularity of the retail-based self-care industry, the female-founded brand determined that the timing was right to franchise the concept with

the goal of becoming one of the first scale players in a highly fragmented but lucrative marketplace, part of the $1.8 trillion global wellness industry. There are currently four corporate-owned Degree Wellness studios – all of which are enjoying positive growth thanks to recurring revenue from the brand’s threetiered membership model.

Degree Wellness also recently announced an exclusive investment partnership with Franworth, a leading franchise growth organization that specializes in scaling franchise brands through mentorship, purchasing power, and best-in-class support. Franworth is no stranger to the health, wellness, and boutique fitness industry, having successfully grown franchise brands such as Pure Barre, Title Boxing, and The Lash Lounge. To help raise brand awareness on a national level, Franworth has also secured a brand ambassador role with future NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees, who has signed on as an investor to help promote the brand and serve as an official spokesperson.

DEGREE WELLNESS PRESIDENT AMANDA LIGHTCAP’S EXCITEMENT FOR FUTURE GROWTH

Back in March of this year, Degree Wellness established their corporate headquarters in Jacksonville, Fla. as part of a multi-million dollar investment in the brand by its executive team and investors. “Franchisee success is critical to our mission of bringing cutting-edge self-care solutions to communities across America,” stated Amanda Watts Lightcap, president of Degree Wellness and owner of four corporate-owned locations. “As the first brand ever to pass the rigorous vetting and selection process of both Franchise FastLane and Franworth, I look forward to leveraging the strengths of these amazing organizations to do just that. I am a firm believer in the power of entrepreneurship, and cannot wait to work side-by-side with our franchise owners, where we can all feel proud to build the leading brand in this exciting, high-growth industry.”

By integrating cutting-edge technologies and a holistic approach, beem™ Light Sauna is set to revolutionize the way people perceive and utilize saunas. One of the key differentiators of beem™ Light Sauna is its combination of various light therapies. The franchise utilizes Infrared Light Therapy, Red Light Therapy, and Chromotherapy, each contributing unique benefits to the user. Infrared Light Therapy is renowned for its therapeutic effects, which include promoting wound healing, enhancing skin renewal, and boosting metabolism. This type of therapy penetrates deep

into the skin, reaching muscles and joints, thus providing relief from pain and improving overall circulation. It’s particularly beneficial for those with chronic pain conditions or those seeking to recover from intense physical activity.

Red Light Therapy, another integral component of beem™ Light Sauna, is acclaimed for its ability to reduce skin issues and enhance joint health. This therapy works by stimulating collagen production, which not only improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles but also aids in the repair of tissues and joints. Regular exposure to red light can lead to significant improvements in skin clarity and joint mobility, making it a popular choice for both aesthetic and therapeutic purposes. Additionally, beem™ Light Sauna incorporates Chromotherapy, a method that uses specific colors of light to improve mental health and alleviate pain. Chromotherapy is based on the principle that different colors evoke different physiological and

Medi-Weightloss®: Transforming Health and Revolutionizing Weight Management

by Bob Hays, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Campany

Obesity and its associated comorbidities are a significant public health concern both in the United States and globally. With approximately 70% of American adults classified as either having obesity or being overweight, this issue has reached epidemic proportions. Nearly a decade ago, the American Medical Association officially recognized obesity as a disease that necessitates a range of medical interventions. Being obese or overweight

poses serious health risks, contributing to leading causes of death such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, and heightening the likelihood of certain types of cancer. Encouragingly, research indicates that losing 5% to 10% of body weight through diet and exercise can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in adults grappling with obesity or excess weight.

It is essential for medical professionals to play a crucial role in addressing the needs of individuals affected by obesity. By providing tailored interventions and support, healthcare providers can make a meaningful impact on the health and well-being of patients struggling with excess weight.

Weight loss programs offer various approaches to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Whether through diet, exercise, medical supervision, or behavioral changes, the key is to find a program that aligns with people goals and supports long-term, sustainable weight loss.

Supporting this objective, Medi-Weightloss® is a nationally recognized weight loss franchise. They are committed to fighting obesity and changing lives. Their business is revolutionizing health and well-being in the United States. They provide clinically proven, science-driven results that help individuals not only lose weight but keep it off.

Founded in 2005, MediWeightloss® is a nationally recognized non-surgical medical weight management franchise. Their mission is simple: fight the obesity epidemic in America.

Spas Pave Pathway to Peace of Financial Mind

Retired Too Early?

by Robyn Deering, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Campany

SPA FRANCHISES OFFER SOFTER AVENUE FOR WORKFORCE LEAVING

THE ‘RAT RACE’

Call it ‘quiet quitting’ or retirement, layoffs or outsourcing. Finding oneself with a stagnant cash flow and no job title can be unsettling. Many who have been caught in these cross-hairs are now saying the imagined freedom has left them wanting some enterprise to fill their days, their social calendar or their financial portfolios. Fortunately, spas are not only sought after by consumers looking for quick wellness. Spa franchises quickly and efficiently duplicate their success making them an ideal choice for investors seeking easily scalable businesses with certain prestige and sound profitability.

PRESTIGE OF SPA OWNERSHIP IS ALLURING

Retiring early also can lead to an identity crisis for many who feel more than a little lost without a job title to define themselves, according to the financialsamurai.com June 2024 article The Dark Side Of Early Retirement. Retiring young also can lead to nagging worries

about running out of money and the lack of options available should they find themselves forced to re-enter the job market with outdated skills at an advanced age following a prolonged hiatus. USA Today reported in January that nearly two-thirds of employees had not intended to retire before age 67, but many are forced out of the jobs without the $ 1.8 million experts say is needed to retire comfortably.

Owning a franchise capitalizes on the latest innovations in personal care may bridge the financial shortcomings for those who relied solely on employment income and fill existential gaps for those who missed being part of a team endeavor. Whether they need cash flow or a raison d'être,

spas may be just the shot in the arm many are looking for. From IV hydration and oxygen bars to luxurious lashes and massage therapies, personal services are performing lucratively with appealing ascetics and low-key sweat equity while outpacing many other sectors.

Franchisors at dermani MEDSPA boast that franchise owners can spend as little as 15 hours a week just tending

to key decision making while a slim staff of registered nurses administer sought-after services including skin rejuvenation and hair removal. With just a $49,000 franchise fee and subscriptionbased clientele, it is easy to see how their reports of gross revenue for franchise locations ranging from $500.000 to $1,000,000 would result in a tidy profit with a minimum of effort for the owner.

GLOBAL MARKET VALUE FOR MEDICAL SPAS

EXPECTED TO NEARLY DOUBLE IN NEXT 5 YEARS Franchises seem to be impervious to economic upheavel, The Franchise Consulting Company CEO Nick Neonakis pointed out during a recent ‘Town Hall’ meeting. Statistics compiled in the 2023 Franchising Economic Report by the International Franchise Association prove his point. The association asserted ‘the economic uncertainty initiated by the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the many benefits of the franchise business model.’ According to the IFA, 50% of franchisees said they were better able to navigate inflationary pressures and other pandemic-era business

challenges thanks to the support of their franchise network. Specifically, personal services was expected to continue growth by more than 2% while other sectors cooled significantly. During that same time, stocks fell to record lows and are now even worse, according to ABC news.

SPA FRANCHISES ARE IN HIGH DEMAND

Generating a reliable revenue stream is important at any age as is maintaining a sense of purpose. But not everyone is equipped to bear strenuous physical effort, or have medical degrees or have access to large outlays of cash. Those reasons make personal service franchises, like many offered by FCC, so very attractive to a diverse population of entrepreneurs. Spas require little or no heavy lifting and come with a status in the community that many owners seek.

For example, Live Hydration Spa, provides an inviting spa environment with a cuttingedge product offering that gives an owner options to be as involved as they care to be in day-to-day operations or community outreach. Even an

absentee manager may want to drop by to enjoy the benefits of the beauty and health treatments. With a franchise fee of less than $50,000 and a comprehensive live coaching program, launching the first location in is easier than most can imagine because the business plans include the administrative support needed for easy staffing, smooth merchandising and marketing, and methods of operation already proven successful.

“In recent years, IV therapy has gained traction as a powerful wellness tool — a quick, efficient, and effective catalyst for boosting hydration, delivering essential nutrients, and supporting overall health,” according to a July 2024 nyweekly.com health article. “Ultimately, Live Hydration Spa is rooted in a genuine desire to help people achieve better health and wellness through education and empowerment. As the IV therapy industry continues to evolve, its leadership and dedication will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the industry’s future.”

GAMEDAY MEN'S HEALTH AS OF TODAY

A franchise opportunity designed to address the “silent health crisis” among males

n recent years, society has taken a nuanced approach to men’s health and wellness. Overcoming the traditional male stigma about self-care is evolving, and not a moment too soon. Gender stereotypes have begun to give way, allowing men to be open and honest about taking charge of their own specific health and wellness concerns. What the Men’s Health Network describes as a “Silent Health Crisis” is backed by startling statistics. Did you know that women are 100% more likely to seek annual and preventative medical care than men? It’s been reported that just over half of all men schedule annual physical exams and a full 40% delay doctor visits until issues become serious. According to the CDC, men die at higher rates than women in nine of the top 10 leading causes of death.

Enter Gameday Men’s Health

Considering the statistics, the timing is right for a simplified approach to men’s health services that addresses the most common ailments. These include low energy levels, loss of muscle, fat gain, low strength, stamina, and endurance, and decreased libido. Enter Gameday Men’s Health, a pioneering men’s health clinic designed to treat four specific concerns: testosterone replacement (low-T), erectile dysfunction (ED), weight loss management, and vitamin therapies. Treating these issues head-on is Gameday’s way of helping men reclaim their lives while optimizing their health and wellness.

What Men Refuse to Confront

As men age, their bodies begin to break down at the cellular level, an issue that only accelerates as they age. The statistics for some of the most common men’s health issues don’t lie. They represent a clear and present danger for men who hope to lead lives with optimal health and wellness.

One in four men over the age of 30 suffer from low testosterone, which manifests itself in symptoms like low energy, decreased libido, and weight gain. By age 45 and older, this percentage jumps to 40%

More than half of all men will struggle with erectile dysfunction at some point in their lives. Over the age of 40, they’re three times as likely to experience these symptoms than their younger counterparts.

How do most men respond? They often suffer in silence, but tend to research solutions on their own without finding a suitable outlet to treat these critical health issues.

Addressing Men’s Health Through Franchising

While it’s a well-known fact that men traditionally avoid going to the doctor or seek getting medical attention for these common issues, what if there were a better alternative – one without the stigma? What if instead of a cold, sterile examination room, they could seek routine care and treatments in a “Man Cave” environment. Say, a turnkey medical suite replete with plush leather chairs,

flat-screen TVs playing ESPN around the clock, sports memorabilia wherever you look, and complimentary refreshments and snacks? Thanks to Gameday Men’s Health, this is now a new reality. Established in 2018 by founder Evan Miller, Ph.D., the Gameday brand began with a simple vision: to create the right setting where men could seek the care needed to reclaim their performance and look and feel their best. Gameday Men’s Health offers franchise owners a fully designed outpatient clinic, with each location assigned a chief medical officer to oversee the delivery of the brand’s four core services. After opening the first few corporate locations, Gameday Men’s Health turned to Franchise FastLane in 2023 to drive accelerated, but responsible, growth.

The interest level of this incredible brand was nothing short of astonishing. To date, Gameday Men's Health has awarded over 900 territories, both in the U.S. and Canada. While this brand grew quickly, their team

of experts are committed to helping Gameday Men's Health franchisees get up and running, while providing unmatched support. Check out some of these amazing statistics!

Meet Jerry – A Gameday Men’s Health franchisee in Overland Park, KS

To hear Jerry tell it, Gameday is the perfect fit. “[Founder] Evan’s vision for Gameday was the final step that we needed to make a quick decision to move forward. Franchise FastLane made the contracting process easy and within days from Confirmation Day, we were the proud owners of three territories with a clear path to opening within a matter of months. I enjoy building something that I am confident is going to be successful. I enjoy knowing that my staff and I are making a difference in men’s lives and helping them feel their best as they age. I appreciate the support and guidance that is available to me as a franchisee of Gameday. Coming from the sales side, I enjoy going out in the community meeting new people, creating relationships, and spreading brand awareness of this incredible brand.”

Meet Haleem – A Gameday Men’s Health franchisee in South Florida

Thanks to Franchise FastLane’s assistance, he shared his thoughts on what it’s like to be a Gameday franchisee. “As a physician, I love being able to provide direct, conciergelevel healthcare in a fun, upbeat setting like Gameday. Many of our patients come from other ‘men’s clinics’ or med spas and they’re blown away by the difference of Gameday Men’s Health clinics which is a real doctor’s office! We love the freedom and autonomy that comes with owning a business. I would highly recommend Gameday to anyone considering a franchise.”

A Few Words for Men of a Certain Age from Founder Evan Miller

“Let’s go! There’s no shame in your game. Any areas that make you feel like you’re not a man, we’re all one and the same here. It’s both private and confidential. We are the experts, and we want you to feel as good as possible, as quickly as possible.”

Franchise Document Review

Experienced Franchise Attorneys

As you progress with a franchise investigation, an important question you should ask yourself is if you need an attorney to review the documents. The answer is absolutely, yes! This is a legal contract that you are entering into which can impact your business for years and cost you a great deal of money and time to fulfill. It is important that you have an experienced franchisee attorney, such as the attorneys at Luther Lanard, review the documents to be on your team to protect your legal rights and explain the documents to you.

The attorneys at Luther Lanard have over 20 years of experience evaluating franchise documents nationwide for their clients. Franchise law is a highly regulated, complex and specialized area of law that involves federal and state regulations. It is important to have experienced franchisee counsel review the FDD and franchise agreement even if the franchisor indicates that the agreement is not negotiable. Many times these “non-negotiable” documents are negotiable and can be amended to clarify terms or add provisions. The attorneys at Luther Lanard represent clients nationwide looking at investing in a franchise.

The review by our attorneys will include explanation of the expectations a franchisee should have, the obligations the franchisee has to the franchisor, any concerns that the attorney reviewing the documents may have and requirements imposed on the franchisee that are not typical and that may present a concern.

Floor Coverings International Franchisee Says Family Drives His Passion to Flourish

by Rhonda Sanderson, CEO, Sanderson & Associates

When family comes first, good things follow. That philosophy is going to serve Preston Dumas well since he opened Floor Coverings International of Clear Lake, serving a wide territory including League City, Friendswood, Clear Lake, Seabrook, Kemah, Clear Lake Shores, Nassau Bay, El Lago, Taylor Lake Village, Dickinson, Bacliff, San Leon, Bayview, Webster and parts of Houston and Texas City.

Dumas is joined in the venture – which officially opened its doors on June 17, 2024 – by his wife, Emily, who serves in the combined role of project coordinator and office manager. In addition, Miles Dumas, Preston’s brother, will serve as the team’s Design Associate. To say that family is the bedrock of their business is not an understatement. “I have a wife and two young children,” Preston said. “They are the reason I get up and go to work each day. When I leave the house, I want to make sure that my time spent away from them directly impacts our lifestyle

in a positive way. I want to be proud of the products I sell and the service I provide. As a business owner, I get to ensure that happens on every job. Whether we sell a floor or not, we strive to help our customers and make sure the experience they have with us is a positive one.”

Forty-seven-year-old Preston spent more than 25 years in hospitality and sales management, a background that he believes closely parallels his new career. “I’ve always gravitated toward solving problems for customers with a focus on customer service,” Dumas said. “Flooring is the same thing: customers come to me with flooring problems they need to solve, and everyone appreciates a great customer experience.”

With Floor Coverings

International having already revolutionized the market, the flooring industry is undergoing significant changes and innovations as well, as consumers demand more quality, variety, and sustainability in their flooring choices. Recently FCI added

several new support roles at their Norcross, Georgia headquarters and in the field to further support the growing number of franchisees eager to get in on the hot home improvement industry. Current market conditions are also factoring into when and why consumers decide to i nvest in new flooring. According to U.S. Bank, the housing market continues to be strongly affected by elevated interest rates.

Higher rates, combined with rising home values, means housing is now a much costlier expense for potential buyers than was the case only a few years ago, it reported. As a result, people might be choosing to stay in their current homes and remodel, rather than move. And Dumas speaks from experience… plenty of experience.

“Most people only buy a floor on average 1.7 times in their entire life. My wife and I have replaced flooring in our house five times prior to owning Floor Coverings International,” Dumas said. “We have the unique

experience of understanding how transformative a new floor can be and I really want to be able to share that feelgood experience with my customers. We can’t all afford to move every time we get bored with our living space, but we can change the flooring and feel as though a dream came true.”

Preston’s background has uniquely positioned him to navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship, especially working alongside his wife. His advice to aspiring franchisees is grounded in honesty and realism. “My wife and I both realize the most important thing is to trust and respect

one another and stay in your lane,” Preston said. “And my advice to other franchisees is to do your research and find something that speaks to you the way Floor Coverings International did to us. Once you can get behind an idea, it becomes fun and rewarding.”

And while the real estate market may still be somewhat fickle, those who do take the plunge and become movers, are also shakers when it comes to their flooring, Dumas said. “Fifty percent of new home buyers replace a floor in the first six months and our area is growing fast,” he said. “Both millennials and boomers are turning to

home improvements and remodeling rather than moving. Every one of these people can benefit from the fantastic customer experience we provide.”

ABOUT FLOOR COVERINGS INTERNATIONAL

The 240 franchisees (with 95 more under development) and their Design Associates offer a unique in-home experience with a mobile showroom that comes directly to the client’s door.

How the Buying Power of a Franchise Platform Helps Franchise Owners Grow Their Business

by Andrew J. Mengason, Chief Growth Officer, Five Star Brands

What sets franchising apart from other business models?

The shared resources and proven systems that power the franchise model help business owners streamline their path to success while mitigating the risks associated with opening a small independent enterprise. Franchise owners can leverage existing brand awareness and economies of scale to immediately ramp and quickly scale their business.

A franchise platform takes that idea to the next level. Franchise platforms, especially platforms focused on a single vertical or sector, such as home services, amplify the traditional benefits and advantages of the franchise model. Based on the same principle that has driven the franchise industry for decades, franchise platforms offer a robust superstructure that allows franchise owners to unlock multiple opportunities for additional growth.

Compared with a single franchise brand, an effective platform streamlines business operations so owners can target

sales, profitability and growth. The combined energy driving a growing franchise platform extends in all directions, so the advantages apply to all parties, including franchise owners, individual franchise brands and all the way up to the platform level. As the platform grows, franchise owners can tap into more effective and efficient revenue streams and other systems to fuel continuous growth.

One of the most powerful tools for franchise platforms is combined buying power. The depth and breadth of many franchise platforms is an immediate advantage when it comes to strategic and vendor partnerships. The platform model brings together hundreds of franchise owners across multiple brands, offering a range of unique services.

This combined experience and diversity of skill sets adds up to enhanced buying power. This allows platforms to select top vendors and negotiate competitive prices and exclusive services or products that would be unavailable to

independent small business owners or even individual franchisors under a single nonplatform franchise brand.

Some of the specific built-in advantages of the combined buying power of a franchise platform include:

• Experience: Each franchise owner brings their own background and unique expertise to a platform. They can each provide useful, actionable insight on the needs of franchise owners. Together, they make up an incredibly valuable network the platform can leverage when planning and negotiating contracts with vendors.

• Options: Independent business owners must work on their own by researching trade publications and online directories and visiting industry showcases and events in order to stay up to date on available products and services and evolving technology and

best practices. Individual franchise owners can rely on information and guidance from the franchisor, but the franchisor may have limited resources to apply to research. Franchise platforms, on the other hand, can dedicate more expertise and resources to staying informed about inventory, equipment, technology and other needs. They’ll be more efficient, working more quickly and delivering better results – all while ensuring franchise owners are free to focus on activities that directly drive growth.

• Negotiating strength: A network of connected franchise owners empowers a franchise platform to operate from a position of strength. Platforms can leverage

the combined buying power of franchise owners across multiple brands to successfully negotiate with vendors, unlocking value and making exclusive deals, products and services accessible to those owners.

• Flexibility: Franchise platforms are better equipped than independent business owners and single-brand franchisors to effectively and efficiently monitor and assess the results of vendor relationships. As industries and economic circumstances evolve, platforms have the ability to continuously evaluate those relationships and pivot as necessary to continue maximizing value for franchise owners.

The ultimate value of franchise platforms and their combined buying power is that they save

franchise owners time and effort that they can apply more profitably. Connecting to a platform’s network of preferred vendors means owners don’t have to find their own solutions. They can focus on growing their business.

The greatest power of franchise platforms is the shared sense of purpose across brands that reinforces resilience and stability. Leveraging the mission, culture, and values of each individual brand, a platform can implement a comprehensive vision that incorporates and multiplies each brand’s strengths. A common, shared approach allows teams and leaders at each level to meet day-today challenges and identify opportunities for enhanced service, efficiency, and value.

When all levels of a franchise platform are aligned, there’s a cascading effect. Shared resources and efficiencies, supported by a common vision, will open new growth opportunities that in turn strengthen the company, drive new efficiencies and opportunities, and empower sustained accelerated growth.

Ask The RESULTS Guy™: How Can I Maximize My Time?

by Tony Jeary, Strategist, Keynoter, Coach

As a franchisee or franchisor, managing your time effectively is crucial to achieving success. In this column, we'll discuss three essential questions related to time management and provide valuable insights.

Q. Tony, how do I best manage my time?

A. Most people don’t know how many hours are in a week. If you are part of this majority— and even if you already know the answer—let’s break it down together: There are 168 hours in a week. 56 of those should be spent sleeping, and we average another 12 on personal maintenance. That leaves the average person with 100 hours to manage, which are typically split between personal and professional commitments.

Focus on five to seven HighLeverage Activities (HLAs) in both aspects of your life to maximize the impact on your life and your franchise growth. HLAs are the activities that are the highest and best use of your time; getting clear on these will Force Multiply your efforts.

Q. Tony, how do I determine the best use of my time?

A. In 2006, I wrote my bestseller, Strategic Acceleration. In it, we introduced the concept of HLAs. As I mentioned, having five to seven HLAs that you prioritize within your personal and professional hours can help you zero-in on that best use of your time. If you are stuck on how to isolate your HLAs, try making a list of goals,

a list of your daily professional and personal activities, and rate and compare these findings until you’ve singled out which activities have been working best or even what new activities you must implement to achieve your goals even faster.

When identifying my own priorities to create a clear vision for my day, week, month, or year, there are five key areas I like to consider (my professional HLAs):

1. Attracting strong qualified business prospects.

2. Delivering great value to our clients, partners, and readers.

3. Using clarity to constantly sharpen the

FOCUS ON FIVE TO SEVEN HIGH-LEVERAGE ACTIVITIES (HLAS) IN BOTH ASPECTS OF YOUR LIFE TO MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE AND YOUR FRANCHISE GROWTH

vision for the day, week, month, or year ahead for my team.

4. Gaining wisdom by reading and studying so I’m always at my personal best to help others win.

5. Nourishing my rolodex by writing articles, sending gifts, autographing books, or simply sending notes over text or by hand.

When something comes to my life and it doesn’t fit into one of those items, I have to be careful about saying “yes” or pouring too much time into those initiatives so I can really stay focused on the HLAs I’ve already defined for myself. I encourage you to do the same thing—what are your big five HLAs?

Q. Tony, how do I manage flexibility as the day quickly progresses?

A. My solution for this is a classic—create a daily priority list and regularly assess your progress. You can do this on your notes app, a legal pad, or somewhere more formal; whatever works best for you and is accessible for you to check frequently. Several times a day, ask yourself, What's the best use of my time right now? Adapt your schedule as needed when new tasks arise. At the end of the day, evaluate whether you

achieved the desired results or merely stayed busy. Xs in the boxes mean you’re being productive—keep it up! Focus on being actively productive, not just busy.

Wrapping it up, time management is a total gamechanger for franchisees and franchisors looking to hit their goals. By zoning in on those HLAs in your personal and work life, you'll make the most of your time and see some serious progress. Creating a daily to-do list, checking in on your progress, and staying flexible when life throws you curveballs can help you stay locked in on your HLAs. Remember, it's all about being productive, not just busy. Put these tips into play, and you'll be well on your way to mastering your time and finding the success you're after.

Innovation at the Elements Massage Brand – A Legacy Brand with Incredible Growth Opportunities

by Kelli Schroeder, VP of Franchise Development, WellBiz Brands, Inc.

If you do a quick Google search on the benefits of massage therapy, you’ll see plenty of results. From reducing stress, improving circulation, to decreasing joint inflammation, the list goes on and on. It’s no wonder that massage therapy is part of a growing, billiondollar industry. It’s far from new, and neither is the Elements Massage® brand – but what is new and exciting is that the brand will be launching skincare services this Fall!

The brand has been providing clients customized therapeutic massage services since 2006, and is managed by WellBiz

Brands, Inc., the pre-eminent beauty and wellness franchise platform catering to the needs of the affluent female consumer. The WellBiz Brands' portfolio of brands also features other category leaders including Drybar®, Amazing Lash Studio®, and Radiant Waxing®. The Elements Massage brand continues to grow with close to 250 studios with an average AUV of $894,425 (per Item 19 of the 2024 FDD), and strong owner validation.

As a best-in-class brand management platform, WellBiz Brands, Inc. continues to invest in innovation across brands and identify opportunities to further improve models and increase revenue for franchise owners. Research showed that clients want skincare services, and the Elements Massage brand was the only primary player in the market that didn’t currently offer those services.

A recent survey of Elements Massage clients revealed that nearly two-thirds had received a facial in the past, and nearly half would book a facial at an Elements Massage studio.

The Elements Massage brand has stood out with its sole focus on massage therapy and will now add skincare services. Staying true to the brand ethos of straightforward, customizable services, some notable details about the new offering:

• Working with Sanitas Skincare - Boulder, CO.

• Aligned with a holistic approach that considers the relationship between all parts of the whole, and quality

• Simple Initial offering - A customizable facial addressing every skin type and most skin conditions.

• Optimized launch for cost effectiveness for franchise ownersService protocols do not require significant CAPEX investment or studio retrofitting. (In limited cases, some jurisdictions will require sinks.)

The Elements Massage brand’s knowledge in massage therapy has helped franchise

owners recruit and retain the best talent and attract loyal clients. A robust skincare pilot program has allowed the brand to develop support materials and tools to recruit and train the best esthetician talent and help set franchise owners up for success with

this newly added revenue stream.

The Elements Massage gender-neutral aesthetic attracts a diverse client base. While the average age of clients can range from 35 to 50, the services extend to everyone, as selfcare is truly for everybody that values wellness. The selfcare vertical continues to grow as consumers continue to make that an important part of their routines.

The brand has a monthly membership model that offers an opportunity to enjoy frequent visits at an affordable price. This strategic approach not only benefits clients but also creates recurring revenue. The new skincare offering will be part of the monthly membership.

The highlights of the skincare innovation for the Elements Massage brand include:

• Promotion of comprehensive self-care

• Allows the brand to reach a wider audience

• Strengthening the membership value proposition

• Increases gift card versatility

• Increases room utilization

• Adds additional revenue streams to the model with retail products

• Newness & InnovationSignificant new offering for a trusted and strong legacy brand

Over 600 territories remain available – don’t wait on the opportunity to grow with this established brand.

2ND FAMILY: A Commitment to Quality In-Home Senior Care

by Will Siegel, Director of Franchise Development, REP’M Group

Finding quality care for elderly loved ones can be overwhelming, but 2nd Family emerges as a source of hope and compassion. Founded by cousins and Chad Tracey and Josh Markland, this familyowned franchise is dedicated to providing exceptional in-home senior care services, rooted in personal experience and a deep understanding of the challenges families face.

The journey of 2nd Family began with a shared experience that touched both founders profoundly. Like many families, Chad and Josh struggled to find reliable care for their grandmother. The emotional toll of navigating the complexities of senior care, coupled with the desire to maintain a high quality of life for their loved ones, sparked the idea that would later become 2nd Family.

2nd Family’s mission is clear: to make the senior care experience easier and more enjoyable for clients and their families. This mission is accomplished by managing the entire home care process from start to finish, allowing families to focus on what truly matters— creating cherished memories with their elderly loved ones.

THE GRANDMA GUARANTEE®

Central to 2nd Family’s approach is their “Grandma Guarantee®.”

This unique promise is the basis of their care philosophy: If we wouldn’t trust a caregiver to care for our grandmother, we won’t send them to our clients’ homes. This guarantee underscores 2nd Family’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of care, ensuring that every caregiver not only meets professional qualifications but also embodies the compassion, trustworthiness, and dedication that Chad and Josh would expect for their own loved ones.

THE 2ND FAMILY DIFFERENCE

In addition to their unique approach to senior care, 2nd Family sets itself apart with cutting-edge technology that enhances the client experience. They offer an "uberization" of home care through a customized app, allowing clients and their families to stay connected and informed with ease.

Through the 2nd Family portal, accessible via the app, users can view schedules, request schedule changes, access past shift data, and review care plan information—all

from the convenience of their smartphones or computers. This level of transparency and control ensures that families are always in the loop, providing peace of mind and making the care process as seamless as possible. The integration of this technology not only streamlines communication but also empowers families to manage their loved one’s care more effectively. By combining personalized care with innovative technology, 2nd Family offers a truly modern approach to in-home senior care, tailored to meet the evolving needs of today’s families.

WHY 2ND FAMILY

For 2nd Family, the journey is deeply personal. Chad and Josh’s experiences with their own families have fueled a passion for making a difference in the lives of others. They know firsthand the relief that comes from having a trusted partner in the caregiving process, and they are determined to provide that peace of mind to as many families as possible.

As a family-owned franchise, 2nd Family combines the warmth and understanding of a family business with the

OUR “GRANDMA GUARANTEE®” THIS UNIQUE

PROMISE

IS THE BASIS OF THEIR CARE PHILOSOPHY: IF WE WOULDN’T TRUST A CAREGIVER TO CARE FOR OUR GRANDMOTHER, WE WON’T SEND THEM TO OUR CLIENTS’ HOMES.

professionalism and resources of a larger organization. Their commitment to excellence in senior care has earned them a reputation as a trusted provider in the industry, and their continued growth is a testament to the impact they are making in communities across the country.

2nd Family is more than just a senior care franchise—it’s a lifeline for families seeking compassionate, reliable care for their elderly loved ones. By

taking on the complexities of care management, 2nd Family allows families to focus on what truly matters: spending quality time with their loved ones. With a mission grounded in personal experience and a deep sense of responsibility, and backed by the “Grandma Guarantee®,” Chad Tracey and Josh Markland have created a franchise that is truly making a difference, one family at a time.

InXpress - Global Shipping Solutions Franchise

InXpress is a business-tobusiness sales franchise in the shipping and logistics industry. Our franchisees sell global shipping and freight services to small-and medium-sized businesses. No retail storefront, no handling packages, and no employees required!

InXpress is the ONLY logistics company in the U.S. contracted as an authorized reseller with multiple major carriers covering all three types of typical business shipping needs - international small parcel, domestic small parcel, and palletized freight services. Due to our massive group shipping volume, franchisees receive deeply discounted

shipping rates, which they then offer to small-to-medium sized businesses. Shipping and logistics is an essential industry that enjoys stability and even growth during economic downturns.

There is very low overhead with no office, storefront, or employees required at startup, and Franchisees only need a cell phone, a computer and a car to start the business ...along with sales hustle!

InXpress franchisees are salespeople and shipping consultants. Dedicating their days to proactive outreach, including cold calling and door- to door visits from 9:00a-5:00p. Their main targets are small- and medium-sized

businesses. These companies typically cannot get big discounts on shipping services. With the InXpress volume, franchisees can save these customers between 11-33% on shipment costs on average. The franchisee will speak to the person in charge of the business’s shipping needs and then if they’re successful in obtaining the business as a customer, they set them up with InXpress’ proprietary software so that the business can schedule shipments on their own. The franchisee then provides personal customer service after the sale, ensuring a high rate of customer retention. The customer continues to ship, and each time they do, the franchisee makes money on each shipment. As the franchisee sells more customers, the residual income builds!

This is a sales-focused franchise model. We require franchisees to commit full-time to the business. This is NOT AN ABSENTEE OR SEMI-ABSENTEE MODEL.
