The investment was a natural extension of the relationship between 10 Point Capital, Brandon Landry and Drew Brees from Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux. Recognizing similar high-growth potential in Smalls Sliders, they have joined forces again to drive significant growth at Smalls Sliders.

COVER STORY: PJ’s Coffee

PJ’s Coffee Announces Sixth Annual Veteran Franchise License Giveaway New Orleans-Based Coffeehouse Chain Awards Franchise License to Deserving Veteran Family

62 Franchising MAGAZINE USA

PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans, the coffeehouse known for its “southern hospitality” experience, the freshest products, and better beans with superior roasting technique, has announced its annual Veteran Franchise License Giveaway, which was most recently awarded to a husband and wife team, Kyle and Jen McElhaney.

The franchise believes in brewing up small business opportunities for military veterans, who are looking to join the evergrowing $100 billion a year global coffee industry. PJ’s Coffee seeks hardworking, passionate applicants who align with its core values of delivering best-in-class coffee with the highest regards to service and hospitality.

“With many of our previous veteran franchisees, we’ve seen a seamless transition from military life to entrepreneurship, so we started this initiative to attract like-minded individuals to our concept, and as a way of saying ‘thank you for your service,’” said Ryan Stansbury, PJ’s Coffee Vice President of Franchise Development. “We’ve found

We’ve found that our “ veteran franchisees have an extra attention to detail and level of care when it comes to how they present themselves and our brand..

ABOUT PJ’s Coffee PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans was founded in 1978 by Phyllis Jordan, a pioneer in the coffee industry.

that our veteran franchisees have an extra attention to detail and level of care when it comes to how they present themselves and our brand.”

In April 2022, Kyle and Jennifer executed a multi-unit option agreement to own and operate two PJ’s Coffee locations within the Memphis area, with the first unit scheduled to open by the end of 2022.

After that, the pair would like to introduce about a dozen locations to the tri-state area.

Kyle attended the University of Mississippi ROTC and then served as an Army Officer and helicopter pilot for 8 and a half years.

He piloted an AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter, and was deployed to Jalalabad, Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom from 2010-2011. He then spent two years in the Mississippi National Guard where he left service at the rank of Major. Kyle then became a military recruiter for Northern Kansas before going to work for ADP, and eventually opening his own businesses.

“I am incredibly fortunate to have been awarded this opportunity,” said Kyle. “As coffee consumers in the community, once we tried the product, we knew there was a need for this. We’re thrilled to be the ones to debut PJ’s menu offerings and familylike atmosphere in Memphis.”

The couple are heavily involved within their community and have owned and operated several businesses. Together, they have invested in high demand concepts throughout Memphis, including a logistics company, a full-service interior design support business and a fleet cleaning business.

The brand was acquired by Ballard Brands in 2008 which was spearheaded by brothers Paul, Scott and Steve Ballard.

The New Orleans-based coffee franchise demonstrates that better beans, superior roasting techniques, and pure passion for the art of coffee-making matter. The brand serves a wide variety of hot, iced and frozen coffee beverages using only the top one percent of Arabica beans, as well as organic teas, breakfast pastries, sandwiches and New Orleans inspired beignets.

PJ’s Coffee has more than 150 locations open and operating nationally and internationally.

The PJ’s Coffee brand is passionate about giving back to the veteran community in any way it can. The company is a fivestar VetFran member, proudly offering qualified veterans a 20 percent discount on the initial franchise fee.

The company also ranked No. 48 within the 2022 Fast Casual Top 100 Movers & Shakers list of innovative restaurant brands and executives shaping the fast casual segment. The judges look at profitability, growth, innovation, nimbleness and creativity.

About Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning®

found Oxi Fresh, one of the fastest-growing carpet cleaning franchise brands available.

Wade has effectively transferred many of the skills he developed from his long law enforcement career to his new business.

His clientele has recognized him for his keen attention to detail, knowledge of local companies, and ability to effectively converse with and educate them on the advantages of Oxi Fresh.

What’s more, upon first opening his Oxi Fresh business earlier this year, Colvard realized that his 17 years of working faceto-face with the community as a police officer was helping him immensely. Thanks to his background, he was able to quickly establish connections with business leaders and potential clients, giving his Oxi Fresh business a head start.

For those in the franchising industry, Colvard and his Oxi Fresh business stand as a shining example of how one can utilize skills developed in real-world situations to operate a successful small business.

World-Class Cleanings with the Power of Oxygen At Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning of Boone, Colvard and his team use eco-friendly solutions that are tough on dirt and grime but easy on the environment. But what, you may ask, happens during an Oxi Fresh cleaning?

Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:

Step 1 First, Wade starts by doing a careful inspection of the floors for any particularly soiled areas.

Step 2

Through innovative products and modern technology, Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning offers green carpet cleanings and exceptional results. The company’s powerful combination of knowledgeable people, innovative technology, and strong processes has landed the brand in Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500, ranked in Inc. magazine’s Inc. 500|5000, and saw them named as one of “America’s Best Franchises to Buy,” by Forbes magazine.

He then applies an enzyme-powered pretreatment to the most heavily soiled spots. This solution is able to break down stuck-in grime and dirt.

Step 3 Next, Wade will use the brand’s core cleaning solution across the floor. This two-part solution contains an oxygenated booster that breaks down dirt. As that works, the encapsulator in the solution traps debris in microscopic sodium crystals.

Step 4 Wade then breaks out his revolutionary OF1000 carpet cleaning machine. The OF1000 uses dual, counter-rotating brushes to agitate the carpet fibers and extract trapped debris.

Step 5 To wrap it up, Wade will vacuum and groom the carpet to leave it with a pristine finish.

Make an appointment for your next Boone carpet cleaning by using Oxi Fresh’s Online Scheduler at www.oxifresh.com or by calling (828) 278-4088.

FRANCHISOR IN DEPTH: JDog®️ Junk Removal & Hauling and JDog®️

Veteran-Owned Business Creates Employment Opportunities for Veterans and Family Members JDog®️ Junk Removal & Hauling and JDog®️ Carpet Cleaning & Floor Care franchise systems empower Veterans and their families to enter business ownership, combating high Veteran unemployment rates.

Every year, nearly 200,000 Veterans struggle to find a job after military service, with just 25% of servicemembers having a job lined up in preparation for their exit, according to the Pew Research Center.

The transition from military service to civilian life is notoriously difficult as Veterans adjust to new ways of life and consider educational and career opportunities once their service is complete. As hordes of servicemembers approach this transition without job security or knowledge of how skills developed during their military service may translate to civilian jobs, hundreds of thousands of Veterans find themselves separated from the military with no employment prospects.

JDog Brands, the franchisor behind JDog® Junk Removal & Hauling and JDog® Carpet Cleaning & Floor Care, was founded by Army Veteran Jerry Flanagan

the camaraderie found in the military.

From corporate leadership to individual franchisees, everyone within the JDog network is prepared to support one another, setting Veterans up for both financial success and a strong, understanding network of like-minded individuals.

According to the Institute for Veterans and Military Families, there are five major challenges that new Veterans face.

60% struggle to navigate VA programs, benefits and services, 55% have trouble finding a job, 41% find adjusting to civilian culture difficult, 40% are left to address financial challenges, and 39% are unsure how to apply their military-learned skills to civilian life. At times, it can be easy to address these problems individually, but finding support and understanding from those who understand how these challenges intertwine is less common.

Being surrounded by a group of people who are not only committed to supporting business success but also understand the more personal challenges of the transition allows Veterans to find a safe, relatable community with the JDog team.

HAVE YOUR SAY: Junk King

Junk King

was named to Franchise Business Review’s 2022 list of 100 Recession Proof Franchises For over 15 years Junk King has continued to expand our footprint and our environmental impact while creating jobs nationwide as well as expansion into Canada.

Today we have a fleet of over 500 trucks on the road and more than 150 franchised locations.

70 Franchising MAGAZINE USA

Recently Junk King was named to Franchise Business Review’s 2022 list of 100 Recession Proof Franchises. I credit a number of factors for keeping Junk King growing even in the face of a global pandemic, including but not limited a strong brand and marketing support for our network of franchisees, and our commitment to serving communities and partnering with like minded entrepreneurs with a passion for our services and goal to leave this world better than we found it.

According to P3 Cost Analysts.com a recession proof franchise is an “ industry that provides essential products and services that people and businesses will need regardless of the economic climate.”

Living in a consumer driven world creates a constant stream of waste. At the current rate that people are buying goods, traditional waste management models are not sustainable. Junk King strives to innovate a solutions driven, innovative system of waste removal that translates into reusing as much material as possible.

In implementing a logistics structure for waste management, we are also able to reduce our own carbon footprint and not add to the problem. Whether it is time to declutter that crawl space or just take out the weekly recycling, Junk King provides unparalleled customer service, professional and sustainability focus junk removal for our clients.

So the problem we are addressing outdated waste management coupled with an increasingly harmful environmental impact - is ongoing and creates the

potential for a constantly growing stream of business even in the face of a challenging economic climate. In order to keep expanding a franchise company you need two things, more customers and more franchise owners/locations. This brings us to the first of a couple of our VIP initiatives… marketing.

Marketing strategies focus on the key business attribute known as brand recognition. When Junk King was created in the early 2000s, we immediately focused on establishing a brand for itself.

Similar to how a pro sports team or elite organizations like the various branches of our military lean into cohesive ‘branding’ in the way of rallying cries and uniforms, Junk King aimed to visually stand out among our competition from the very beginning. One way we did this was launching with bright red trucks that are 20% larger than our competitors’. It’s nearly impossible not to notice one of our fleet on the road, and consumers are proven time and time again to choose companies with a brand they recognize when making their purchasing decisions.

A big part in expanding our brand recognition and updating our marketing approach is Crissy Russo, SVP of marketing at Junk King. WIth Crissy’s guidance we have created a social media presence that is reliant on engagement and used as a tool to keep franchisees connected to their communities. Followers

and consumers are encouraged to interact with our social media posts, which in turn has improved our online conversion rate, lead generation and overall brand recognition.

Another reason I’d like to credit for our success is our focus on a service oriented, team culture that starts within our network of franchise owners and extends into each of their local communities.

Nurturing business relationships within communities allows us to connect with consumers and creates brand likability.

One way Junk King approaches this is by supporting community outreach programs.

For example, we have always been proud of our partnership with Military Makeover.

Through Military Makeover. Junk King provides our services and disposes the waste created during the home renovations given to service men and women.

Internally this cause is close to Junk King’s heart. Today we have numerous veteran owned and operated Junk King locations across the US. We see a high level of success among our veteran employees.

Junk King’s service minded, team focused structure resonates with current and former military members.

Skills like commitment, hard work, and an overall mission oriented approach to a purpose “bigger than oneself” seamless transfer into the successful operation of a Junk King location and creates a strong bond between its team members.

A perfect example of this is Melissa Michel, owner and operator of two Junk King locations, Junk King Baton Raton and Junk King Fort Lauderdale.

Military Veteran Melissa Michel of Junk King Baton Raton and Junk King Fort Lauderdale, has said...

My strong training skills “ are a product of my military training and career. These are passed down to my staff and customers and each and every job. Being well organized and having the ability to manage a staff while performing a wide range of duties is second nature to me and a key to success at our location.

FOCUS: Cinch I.T

Cinch I.T Hosts 100 Mile Ruck March Challenge Cinch I.T. - one of the fastest growing I.T. service providers in the U.S. - hosted the 2nd annual 100-Mile Ruck March Challenge this month to help benefit families dealing with childhood cancer.

Former U.S. Army Ranger, President of Cinch I.T., and Princeton Massachusetts resident, Rick Porter was at the helm of

72 Franchising MAGAZINE USA

the operation. The event took place from July 21-24 in neighboring Worcester and collected donations during its nightly events from participating athletes and volunteers. 100% of the money that was raised has been donated to Why Me & Sherry’s House, an organization dedicated to providing love and support services to families with childhood cancer. Why Me & Sherry’s House is the vision of thirteenyear-old Sherry Shepherd, and the promise

kept by those who loved her to keep her dream alive. This year’s event raised over $133,945, nearly $62,000 over its initial goal. The donation link will be open until the red-carpet premier of the documentary film, which is slated to release in October.

The 100-Mile Ruck March Challenge is a military-inspired event, where a small group of 33 athletes rucked (hike with a weighted rucksack) 25 miles a day for four days. Each competitor camped out on the farm of a local brewery and continued the march each morning at sunrise. Athletes carried everything they needed for the four-day event on their backs as they navigated the 100-Mile course, cooked their own meals, set up and broke down their own camps each night, tended to their feet and bodies, dealt with tornado warnings, avoided a family of bears, and battled through one of the most intense heat waves on record, all in an attempt to earn the coveted 100-Mile Ruck March Finisher Medal. At the end of each day, individuals would come out and support the ruck athletes by joining the competitors at a different brewery to toast their accomplishments and encourage them to ruck on. The three participating breweries; Milk Room Brewery, Stone Cow Brewery,

and Oakholm Brewing, all helped by offering their hospitality and providing an area for the competitors to camp, making the entire event possible.

“This charity holds a special place in my heart,” said Porter. “When you speak with the selfless individuals who have created and run Why Me & Sherry’s House on a daily basis, you can’t help but be in amazement of what they’ve built. When I hear the words spoken by the families whose lives have been touched by this remarkable organization, I realize that the struggles and difficulties we will face during this ruck march aren’t even a fraction of the battles these families go through every single day. Their strength and courage and love for their children is awe-inspiring, and I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to support them in some small way.”

Each competitor camped “ out on the farm of a local brewery and continued the march each morning at sunrise.

”

“ The 100-Mile Ruck March Challenge is a military-inspired event, where a small group of 33 athletes rucked 25 miles a day for four days.

”

Despite the extreme challenges faced by competitors along the way, the event was a great success. An intense heat wave hit the east coast the weekend of the march, forcing athletes to battle through mid-tohigh 90-degree temperatures. This heat caused extreme dehydration in several athletes, with some being taken to the emergency room.

“We had the hottest heat wave in years, making the conditions difficult,” said athlete, Eric Chatelle. “However, having the support from my amazing family, medical staff, supply staff, the Sherry’s House team, wives that transitioned to field triage, and a band of brothers and sisters hiking for a common cause, made seemingly impossible conditions possible.”

To Julia Becker Collins, an athlete in the event, the 100-Mile Ruck March gave her

an incredible amount of motivation to fight through her own battle with cancer.

“When I was diagnosed with cancer two years ago, I thought my bucket list dream of racing 100 miles was off the table,” said Collins. “Cancer and cancer treatment ravaged my body in a way I wasn’t prepared for and I was left with a body I didn’t recognize or understand. To say that I’m in shock that I finished would be an understatement. I took it one mile at a time, one step at a time, and it wasn’t until I was two miles from the finish that I realized that I was going to do it. I started crying while I walked because it all hit me, I was about to reach that goal that never seemed possible, that my cancer body was about to break every mold, beat back the odds, and do the thing no one thought it could.”

At ZIPS we’re committed to being an environmentally responsible organization: Every location accepts hangers for recycling, is illuminated by energy-efficient LED lights, uses 100% biodegradable plastic bags and an odor-free hydrocarbon solvent, and captures by-product in clay filters that are disposed of through a third-party government compliance specialist. We also avoid individually wrapping using each garment or adding tissue paper in the sleeves, which cuts down not only on waste but on cost as well.
