Welcome to the July issue of Franchising USA. Shopping around for the right franchise opportunity can be overwhelming, but attending a franchise expo can be a great place to start your search. We recently attended the International Franchise Expo held in New York and were pleased to see a great variety of franchise options. With over 400 hundred franchise opportunities mingling under one roof, we were able to make some great connections, learn more about some of the top proven opportunities, and welcome some new subscribers to our magazine. As the largest franchise expo in the country, we urge you to attend the IFE for the next round in 2019. But in the meantime, have a look at some of the other expos coming up in or near your city and take the time to explore what they have to offer because it might just get you one step closer to finding the right opportunity. On the Cover this month is HealthSource, America’s largest group of clinics specializing in holistic healthcare. As more and more Americans are increasingly moving toward natural and holistic ways of healing their bodies, HealthSource is well positioned to serve this growing demand. Turn to page 10 to learn more about the new holistic
direction in healthcare and find out why HealthSource is on a Healthy Growth Path. Our Special Feature this month is Mobile Franchising, with PIRTEK USA on the Feature Cover. Started in 2015, the industrial hose-replacement franchisor has since put 26 new locations on its map, with more to come in the near future. The brand is steadily climbing up Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500® list, so be sure to read more about this quickly growing franchise and its strategies for continued success. Our Special Feature this issue also includes a Focus article on LEAKPRO, yet another mobile franchise opportunity that’s Poised for Unprecedented Growth Throughout the U.S. Find out more about this franchise that specializes in automotive water leaks, air leaks and wind noise repair, with Individual, Master and Regional Franchises currently available throughout the U.S. As always, we’ve included a variety of helpful Expert Advice from our Industry Experts, including 5 Secrets to Crazy Franchise Success from our long-time regular contributor George Knauf, and 4 Ways to Channel Your Entrepreneurial Spirit and Build a Thriving Franchise by Alejandra Font. There’s plenty more practical advice from other top industry experts that you don’t want to miss, so be sure to check them all out in this issue. Happy reading!
