Premier Martial Arts:

A Different Kind of Growth in 2021

by Seth Lederman, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

"CHARACTER CANNOT BE DEVELOPED IN EASE AND QUIET. ONLY THROUGH EXPERIENCE OF TRIAL AND SUFFERING CAN THE SOUL BE STRENGTHENED, AMBITION INSPIRED, AND SUCCESS ACHIEVED."

A

ccording to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), the number of business owners in the United States dropped by 22 percent from February to April 2020.

That was the most significant decline in business ownership since World War II. Business activities across the globe experienced the disruption of the pandemic.

Most industries faced significant drops in the number of active business owners. The economic impact could be felt across all sectors and regions, with few exceptions. Construction, hotels, restaurants, transportation, and personal services all faced significant declines in the number of active business owners due to COVID‐19.

Employer business applications, as measured by the U.S. Census weekly

16

— HELEN KELLER Business Formation Statistics (BFS), fell in the five weeks from mid‐March to mid‐April by over 27 percent over the year prior (Wilmoth, 2020).

The Society for Human Resource Management report entitled "COVID-19 Research: Small-Business Challenges" finds that 75% of small-

DECEMBER 2021 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

business owners are confident that their business will be better prepared to handle a crisis like COVID-19 if something similar occurs in the future.

In the weekly U.S. Census "Small Business Pulse Survey," small businesses report having experienced adverse effects from the COVID‐19 pandemic (Bohn, Mejia, & Lafortune, 2020; U.S. Census Bureau, 2020).

Nationally, 78.7 percent of small businesses responded that the COVID-19 pandemic had hurt their business. 34.2 percent reported a significant impact, while 44.5 percent of businesses reported a more moderate impact.

WHO FARED BETTER IN THE PANDEMIC, SMALL BUSINESSES OR FRANCHISE BUSINESSES? During the COVID-19 pandemic, despite new challenges, many franchise brands have found success.

The franchise business model has proven durable, rising like a phoenix from past recessions. The pandemic will be no different. According to the "2021 Economic Outlook for Franchising" report by the International Franchise Association (IFA), although COVID-19 "brought unprecedented challenges to the franchising industry, franchisors and franchisees have responded quickly and carefully to minimize losses."

The franchise model allows for faster growth, hiring, and response to shifts in the economic reality than independently-owned businesses. This resilience is reflected in FRANdata's forecasts of 7 percent growth in the economic contribution of franchising in 2021, with total franchise establishments expanding at a rate of 3.5 percent. All indications are that the market will recover fully, and the number of franchise units will be even higher than pre- COVID, 2019 levels. One of the franchise brands experiencing hypergrowth coming out of the pandemic is Premier Martial Arts.

PREMIER MARTIAL ARTS EXPERIENCES HYPERGROWTH The world has changed due to the pandemic, and consumer behavior has changed significantly, leading to a different kind of growth.

For example, COVID-19 forced schools across the country to shut their doors and go virtual, which led parents to worry about their children's physical and mental health.

Premier Martial Arts, one of the largest martial arts systems globally with more than 90 locations in the United States, has seen demand increase during the pandemic. As many Americans, especially children, felt hopeless, demand for in-person and online martial arts training increased. Parents looking to empower their children and give them the tools to move forward from this challenging time in their lives turned to activities like martial arts. Premier Martial Arts, a children's brand focused on developing leadership and character through a physical discipline, experienced hyper-growth.

Consumer demand combined with a small footprint and standard curriculum make Premier Martial Arts an attractive, low-investment operator-friendly martial arts franchise.

Entrepreneurs with a passion for martial arts and their community flock to the opportunity, opening schools across the country. Some would describe owning a Premier Martial Arts as a life-changing opportunity with an opportunity to change lives. The affordable business model and significant profit potential make Premier Martial Arts a franchise brand to watch in 2022.

BUSINESS ADVICE

CertaPro Painters:

The Most Successful Painting Franchise in the US

by Greg Mohr, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company STRUCTURED SUPPORT. You will have a dedicated jump start general manager assigned to you. You will also have a marketing manager that will work with you every year. Where are you at this year, where do you want to be. You plan together to get it done. This makes for a fast ramp up and a continual increase in revenue year after year.

I

recently had the opportunity to sit down with Chad Wright from CertaPro Painters to find out what makes CertaPro the number one painting franchise in the US. CertaPro is the largest painting franchise in the US with 378 territories. CertaPro does more in revenue per year than the next 10 brands combined!

20

Of course, the most important question I receive from my candidates is, what’s in it for me.

Well, I asked Chad that directly.

Here is what he said: 30 years of growth. That is a lot of experience that you will be working with. 30 years of numbers and metrics. Being number one they know how to get it done and they have the numbers to prove it along with a known brand name.

DECEMBER 2021 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

VALIDATION. What will you hear f rom other f ranchisees? Follow the process. The process works.

The systems and processes CertaPro have in place will get you to where you want to be.

Some f ranchisees have been with CertaPro for 20 years or more. You definitely want to talk with these folks and make f riends with them when you investigate CertaPro. Great validation.

Speaking of which, where do you want to be? Chad finds it interesting that although most people do not dream about running a painting company when they grow up, once they find out what running a painting f ranchise will allow them to do, it lines up with their goals.

Be your own boss, set your own schedule, more time for family.

From my experience for people looking into running a business for themselves these are some of the goals they have and what they look for in a business: BRAND NAME: With 378 franchise territories and 30 years in the painting business CertaPro fits this.

SCALABILITY: Looking to grow into a very large revenue stream, yes, check this one off as well. Multiple territories if desired, yes.

BUILD A FAMILY BUSINESS: Many franchisees have grown their business and then turned it over to their kids to continue to operate. Also, family friendly.

Set your schedule, do what you want, when you want. No sitting behind a desk for 40 hours per week. Go to your kids’ events.

PROVEN EXIT STRATEGY: I work with resales quite a bit and CertaPro always has a list of resales, and they go fast. Right now, they have 40 resales available. Contact Chad or myself to find out what is available in your area. They sell for good multiples as well.

A FEW OTHER FACTS… CertaPro started off as 100 percent residential painting.

A couple of ambitious franchisees decided to try out commercial painting. It worked, CertaPro did a beta test on a few other franchisees, that worked as well. They are now 60 percent residential

and 40 percent commercial.

Not only does this open up more revenue streams, but it also shows that you may have systems and processes to follow but it is still your business. You can still put your personal touch on it and try out new ideas. Albeit, after spending a couple of years following the systems and building up your revenue.

Even though they have 378 territories that are taken there are still 150 territories available.

Along with the 40 resale territories. Contact Chad or myself to find out if territory is available in your area.

CertaPro’s has one of the best success rates I have seen.

Check the FDD for verification, it is in there, you will be impressed!

Chad Wright has sent the last 14 years in franchising helping numerous franchises grow their systems. He has spent the last 3 years with CertaPro Painters helping them grow.

Chad believes in making sure you are the right person for CertaPro and CertaPro is the right franchise for you. That is one of the reasons CertaPro has such a high success rate.

BUSINESS ADVICE

Forget The Widget

by Jen Wherrell, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

W

idgets are indeed apps that appear on the home screen of your iPhone or iPad. They come in a wide range of sizes. However that’s not the widget I am speaking about.

The widget I am referring to is the “what” you are selling when it comes to a business.

Is your widget expertise in an area? Is it a burger and fries, or maybe a perfectly waxed brow. Your widget is whatever you are selling to a consumer. When it comes to buying a franchise. I want you to FORGET the widget. At least during the exploration phase of buying a franchise.

What you need to be doing in the beginning, is focusing

on the business model in the following ways. Here are just a few simple things to review when deciding which franchise to buy.

BUSINESS MODEL INNOVATIONS A business model is a strategy or document that defines how a company or organization provides value to its consumers. When you start to deep dive into researching a business to buy, you’ll want to include information about the company's customer perspective, the needs of that market, and the significance that the company's products or services have. What is the all in cost to buy and what is the rate of return on investment. The process through which an entity updates its business model is referred to as business model innovation. This development frequently involves a broader shift in how a company provides value to its clients, either through creating new income streams or channels of distribution.

FUTURE SUCCESS OF THE FRANCHISE Adequately providing for the future is perhaps one of the most challenging difficulties in any life – or any franchise business. Even with the most exhaustive research and finest available information,

24

DECEMBER 2021 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

predicting what will happen next is far from a science. But, in our investigation of different brands, we can look to the CEO and team for information on their growth strategy. We can review their plans, forecasts and discover how focused the brand is on future growth. You as a potential franchisee will want to know where the brand sits on focusing on what’s coming next. If they are planning for the future, a new franchisees success will be a priority.

CUSTOMERS RETENTION When you are buying a franchise you are also buying a reputation. When you are exploring a brand, find out what their customer retention rate is and maybe explore information about customers who have previously purchased from them. And how likely they are to do so again.

Consumer satisfaction aids in the development of a broad, dependable customer base. A franchise business with a high rate of return customers that are happy with their service are inclined to go back to buy from them again and again.

As a result, persuading existing consumers to make a repeat purchase is significantly more cost-effective than acquiring new ones. The overall profit impact that a client has provided to your company is measured by lifetime value.

The higher the lifetime worth of a devoted customer, the longer they stay with you.

When it comes to customer retention look at any programs that the franchise may offer to help keep customers happy.

How does the company give thanks to their clients. Do they have a digital award program, or an app that collects date to learn their customers well and give back with discounts or freebies? Anything that the franchisor does to help you start off with a larger customer base is key. Where do the franchises you are looking at fall when it comes to retention?

RECURRING REVENUES OF THE BUSINESS Companies that generate a are much more valuable and appealing to both customers, investors and potential franchisees. Does the company have a membership based program or incentives to come in monthly? When a company expects to receive revenue every month, recurring revenue-generating suggests stability. The recurring income model allows the companies to form closer bonds with its existing customers. Because they have such a devoted customer base, they spend less time and investment in advertising attracting new consumers, and focus on building brand loyalty. That is part of the benefit of buying into a franchise, they have done the heavy lifting of creating a customer base for you.

DON’T FORGET So remember next time you

are searching for a franchise to purchase, its more than the widget. Your focus shouldn’t be about buying a gym franchise because you enjoy exercise. You should focus on what the franchise you want to purchase offers long term. A sound business model, plans for the future, a loyal customer base and recurring revenues.

You aren’t buying a job, you are buying financial freedom.

THE BRAND GAME

by Rich LeBrun, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

I

magine the following: An empty room with two chairs, a table, and both of us sitting in front of each other. On that table, there’s a pile of cards with a brand logo on each one. Some of the brands are famous, others are not. I bring in two buckets and ask you to play a game with me. The game rules are very simple: Put the best brands in one bucket and put the weakest in the other. If your choices are right, you win.

Now, you can easily recognize some of these brands. They are on billboards, on TV, and on the radio. One of them

28

even made it to your social media feed a while ago. Those must be famous, you might think, right? But then you pause and wonder: “Are these brands really the best ones, or was I just biased to the ones I know?”

Here you’ll start asking for more information to make this a fair game. “The beauty of the logo is not enough” you might say. As a franchise consultant who has been in the business for a number of years, I can’t help but agree with you and grant you four types of information to make it a fair game.

DECEMBER 2021 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

FINANCIAL STATUS The first thing that comes to mind when evaluating a brand is its net worth in the market. If the company is financially strong, it should be a good brand, right? Well, not necessarily. This is where many people forget to differentiate between financial equity and profitability. The brand might have a great amount of assets, but it’s slowly going out of business.

For our game, you’ll ask for net worth and proof of profitability over the past years to see for yourself how every brand is doing. This is what

every investor does before purchasing a franchised business. Successful brands can easily show their records of success over the years. But this might make you wonder: How did they overcome the hard times such as COVID-19?

RESILIENCE In a study conducted between March 2020 and February 2021, the number of business closures during the COVID-19 pandemic reached 100,000 businesses above the traditional exits every year.

COVID-19 was a reminder for investors to check how strong businesses respond to such extraordinary events.

During COVID-19, many brands changed their strategies entirely. Some came up with new COVID-19 “essential” product/service lines. Others invested in their digital stores and delivery services to adapt to the new normal we had to face. We like to say the strong survived and thrived but the weak are gone.

The pandemic flipped things around and accelerated technology adoption. For our game, you’ll ask for

proof of resilience on how this pandemic and other recessions affected each brand. However, technology acceleration might bring another idea into your mind: Is the brand future-ready?

NICHE IN THE MARKET Before investing in any business, investors usually run multiple scenarios in their heads to see if the brand is future-ready or not.

For example, if someone proposed investing in a fax machine brand, then they will probably be rejected immediately. Today, we’re only one click away from reaching all our documents. Fax machines are fading away with time and becoming obsolete. Once you ensure your brand is future-ready, you’ll be confident to say that you’re moving in the right direction.

For our game, you’ll ask for each brand’s niche and where it positions itself in terms of today and tomorrow.

Still, as we speak of today, ou may wonder: Who’s leading the brand to that successful future?

ONE OF THE KEY ELEMENTS IN DRIVING YOUR BRAND TO SUCCESS IS ENSURING THAT WHOEVER IS IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT OF YOUR BUSINESS, KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE THE BRAND IS GOING AND HOW TO GET THERE.

EXECUTIVE TEAM Even after having a rough day at work, going to a good restaurant can make your day just perfect. You love the atmosphere, the staff, and the food. The restaurant executive team is positioning their teams and strategies to help focus on their customers’ experience.

One of the key elements in driving your brand to success is ensuring that whoever is in the driver’s seat of your business, knows exactly where the brand is going and how to get there.

For our game, you’ll ask for summaries about the executive teams and their experiences in the market.

You want to check their qualifications and ensure they’re the right team before making your final decision.

Now that you have the information you need, you can easily put the right cards in the right bucket and set yourself up to win. After the game, you’ll even be ready to invest in a franchise yourself. Just make sure you have someone who can provide you with the information you need for each card, and that someone is your Franchise Consultant.

The Franchise Landscape

by Jon Ostenson, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

O

n the heels of Covid lockdowns and quarantine, we are seeing unprecedented levels of interest in business ownership with much of this interest coming through the avenue of franchising. Year-to-date, our client placements have increased well over 50% vs.

2020, which despite Covid, saw similar levels of expansion over 2019. The vast majority of these placements have come in industries outside of food and lodging, which we will touch on later.

So who are these new franchise owners? More than

ever before they represent a substantial cross section of Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials. As outlined throughout media headlines, Covid has caused many across the spectrum to reflect on the path they are on. For many, this reflection has led to the decision point that now is the time to scratch their entrepreneurial itch.

In some cases, these newly minted business owners are jumping in with both feet, leaving their corporate roles and taking on the reins of owner-operator of a new enterprise. In other instances, they are taking a step into

DECEMBER 2021 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

entrepreneurship via a ‘semi absentee’ model with the plan to put in 10-15 hours a week.

The latter group is seeing business ownership as an ‘asset class’. Business ownership provides tax advantages that many other investments do not.

With the stock market at an all time high, low interest rates, and only so many good real estate deals available, investors are looking at alternative options for parking their record levels of sidelined cash.

Why are so many opting for franchising over a traditional ‘start up’? They recognize that franchising provides them with:

What A Franchise Provides For You: 1. A proven playbook from which to operate.

2. In some cases, a recognizable brand.

3. A ‘coach’ with aligned interests on the sideline in the franchisor.

4. Support and learnings of owners in other markets.

5. The ability to go in with ‘eyes wide open’ via the ability to review the Franchise Disclosure Document and validate with current owners before making a purchase.

6. The potential for a more attractive exit based on an apples-to-apples comparison vs. traditional startups.

include home and property services, automotive, health and wellness, businesses that support the senior population, children/ education, and pets.

There are so many unique niches within these spaces that people have never considered. In fact, through my matchmaking process, I have found that over 80% of my clients end up in a sector that they never had on their radar prior to our ‘peeling back the onion’ and building a framework from which to evaluate opportunities.

Certainly franchising is not right for everyone. For instance, I have to explain to a handful of my clients that they are ‘too entrepreneurial’.

They are not willing to live within the franchise system, desiring to put their fingerprints all over a new

95% OF OUR PLACEMENTS HAVE BEEN IN INDUSTRIES OUTSIDE OF FOOD AND LODGING. THESE INCLUDE HOME AND PROPERTY SERVICES, AUTOMOTIVE, HEALTH AND WELLNESS, BUSINESSES THAT SUPPORT THE SENIOR POPULATION, CHILDREN/EDUCATION, AND PETS. So, what industries are resonating the most with would be business owners? I have shared in many interviews that over the past year that we have seen a leaning toward ‘Covid, Amazon, Recession resistant businesses’. 95% of our placements have been in industries outside of food and lodging. These

business. However, for many would-be business owners, the support and resulting success rate that are found in franchising prove to be a perfect fit. Based on what we are seeing both at a macro level, as well as on the ground, franchising is poised for even more strong growth in the years ahead!

Your Best Year Ever!

Consider These Important 3 Tips When Looking for a Franchise

by Phyllis Pieri, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

L

ooking for a franchise could be the biggest decision you ever make besides owning a home.

Consider these three tips when doing your research.

Tip # 1 Time...

One of the key differences between starting your own business and finding the right franchise that will accomplish your personal, professional goals is time. Statistics say that if you start your own business it will probably take you three years to get everything figured out and profitable. Afterall think of all the things you will need to

36

do. On the other hand, if you consider a franchise you can be open for business in 60 - 90 days with a proven business model, complete training and a marketing plan so you know exactly how you are going to find your customers.

“TIME IS MORE VALUABLE THAN MONEY. YOU CAN GET MORE MONEY, BUT YOU CANNOT GET MORE TIME.”

DECEMBER 2021 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

— Jim Rohn

Tip #2 Preconceived Notions... Most people

when they think of franchising, they think of food. However, the people who are successful in the food industry go into with past experience and a love for the industry. Others discover that it is a lot more work than they expected. It takes longer to open than they thought so the cost goes up, it comes with long hours and constant employee issues, I hope you like HR because you are going to do a lot of it.

And, oh by the way, you will probably need to open three locations to make the money

you are hoping for.

The other problem with people having preconceived notions is they base their opinion about a business on what they think, not on what they know about a business, if they don’t do enough investigation. A great example would be the service industry. Did you know that it is booming right now and we don't see it slowing down anytime soon. Why? So many people are working at home and loving it. Now they see what needs to be fixed and they are happy to have the work done.

People are learning that owning any kind of business that has to do with improving homes is a great idea. The franchise company wants you to be the CEO of the company, visit the homeowner in the beginning to bid the job and send your team in to do the work. As your business grows you hire a manager who then does that job and you oversee the teams going out.

You become part of your local community and the franchise company gives you lots of tools to do just that.

“DID YOU KNOW THAT FORBES DID A SURVEY AND DISCOVERED THAT 54% OF WORKING PEOPLE HATE THEIR JOBS.”

“IF YOU DO WHAT YOU LOVE, YOU'LL NEVER WORK A DAY IN YOUR LIFE.” — Marc Anthony

Tip #3 Do What You Love... Did you know

Negative attitudes and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness can create chronic stress, which upsets the body's hormone balance, depletes the brain chemicals required for happiness, and damages the immune system. Chronic stress can actually decrease our lifespan. If it’s your job or your business, do something you love. I am a true believer that everything you have done to this point in your life has prepared you for what is next.

Yes you have financial goals that you want to achieve, this is very important. However, if you base your decision about a franchise primarily because the business can make $X dollars, you might be disappointed. If you don’t jump out of bed every morning excited to get your day started, you will probably not make that money.

Let’s do a simple exercise.

I want you to think back on your career and make a list of all the jobs you have ever had, starting in high school.

Now take a moment and

think about those jobs and answer for yourself, what was the most fulfilling job you ever had? Now I want you to think about what you were doing in that job and go find a business that will make you feel that way!

I hope you found these tips helpful. Wishing you a very successful 2022!

Connecting with Katie Spadoro,

Founder/CEO of CYB HR Resources!

Outsourcing HR Services for Franchising.

by Rick Morgin, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

Rick Morgin: Tell us how CYB Human Resources was founded?

Katie Spadoro: CYB Human Resources was founded in January 2015.

I had just moved to Tulsa, OK and I began connecting and learning about the countless small "familyowned" business that existed. There were so many incredible companies, run by knowledgeable individuals.

These are companies that had been passed down through generations and had been growing the whole time. They were the best at their trade.

However, a major missing piece in their business was in Human Capital. Either HR was completely overlooked due to lack of education or experience in Human Resources, or even worse, someone was managing

40

it internally without the proper credentials and experience to do so successfully long-term.

The liability for a small business attempting to grow, without the infrastructure to support it, is immense. I realized that I could help these businesses by providing my HR Director level experience, in a way that was both cost-effective, and easy to understand and implement.

That way, these small businesses could become and remain compliant, continue to grow successfully, and avoid frivolous lawsuits. All of this, without having to break the bank or hire someone in-house that may or may not have the true Human Resources background that is required when it comes to managing employees and weeding through the insane amount of employment laws that change regularly.

Rick Morgin: What does CYB stand for?

Katie Spadoro: I like to say that the answer

DECEMBER 2021 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

to this question depends on what industry you are in Truly, CYB stands for Cover Your Bases. For some of my amazing clients in industries such as construction and energy, CYB affectionately means "Cover Your Butt."

Rick Morgin: What need or gap did you see in small to medium size businesses in their HR processes?

Katie Spadoro: The lack of education surrounding the Human Resources profession, in general, was a major red flag.

The old, crusty idea that "HR" is just the crazy HR lady in the corner that yells when someone hasn't turned in their benefits paperwork or says something inappropriate, is an extremely out-of-date way of thinking about HR. HR is so much more at a growing company. It is the building block that your culture and employees will build upon.

I have spent a lot of my time over the years educating individuals and small business owners on how important HR infrastructure is to grow your business. Companies are built by employees. Those

employees want to feel valued by their managers and coworkers and secure in their roles. The only way to provide those two elements in my experience is by implementing policies and processes that employees, managers, and the company can rely on. Having policies and procedures is something that in my experience, is feared at first. However, once the intent behind them is understood, it is seen as a tool to increase productivity by decreasing misunderstandings and miscommunications. It provides management the support and ability to make business decisions as needed, without needing to worry about a lawsuit. It provides employees with clear directions and boundaries. All around, HR is something that benefits everyone at the company, from the top to the bottom.

Rick Morgin: Are you also a fractional HR service provider like a fractional CFO? Katie Spadoro: Yes, we are essentially a small business's HR Department.

We have different levels, depending on the company's size and current needs. We have built out our processes to remain cost-effective while ensuring that each client remains in compliance with all HR regulations.

Rick Morgin: How have you helped clients who are in the Franchise industry?

Katie Spadoro:

One of the greatest concerns we see when partnering with franchised companies is the concern of brand dilution.

When the so-called "baton is passed," and someone else is running a company with your brand name on it, what happens at that company matters. When working alongside franchised businesses, we can offer them the sense of comfort knowing that all of the hard work that they have put into building their business will not go to waste due to a frivolous lawsuit or false claim of harassment.

The peace of mind that we can provide to business owners has been incalculable over the years. Knowing that when you franchise your company, each franchisee knows where to go and whom to talk to when it comes to employee issues provides a true sense of relief.

Rick Morgin: What are the top three concerns your clients worry about when they hire your firm?

Katie Spadoro: The top three concerns I would say are 1. Concerns when it comes to Loss Aversion – Loss of employees, loss of money, loss of time attempting to manage HR when it can be done by a certified HR professional with years of experience, loss of reputation when faced with a lawsuit or EEOC charge, etc.

2. Lack of Infrastructure – Having issues with growth lack of employee productivity due to constant miscommunications and confusion.

3. Out of Date Policies & Procedures – Employee Handbooks that are downloaded from Google

WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM | DECEMBER 2021

41

or written in 1992. Failure to recognize the changing work environment and the need to grow along with it.

Rick Morgin: Do you help clients with their HR needs in any state?

Katie Spadoro: We are nationwide! Our HR Team is SHRM certified and comfortable with employee regulations and laws across the US. We have clients in many states and are continuously expanding. It is a great opportunity for me to be able to work with so many different companies across the board.

History in the Making

by Camantha Magoon, Communications & Content Specialist, FranDevCo

A

ndy’s love affair with cars began at just 6 years old. Unlike a typical 6 year old kid playing with toy cars, Andy was working on actual cars with his dad in their backyard garage. By the time he was 12, he was assisting his father in completing valve jobs, putting clutches in, and even rebuilding transmissions. From then on, Saturdays would be spent with 5 or 6 cars lined up down the block from friends, neighbors, and family to have their vehicles worked on by Andy and his dad.

In 1986, the kid’s young obsession manifested into an adulthood profession and

44

Andy Fiffick became President and CEO of Rad Air. Andy was a mechanic by trade and out of his love for cars, built a thriving radiator and air conditioning specialty shop in Parma Heights, Ohio after many years in the automotive industry.

The same year the name was updated to Rad Air Complete Car Care and expanded into other high tech areas of service, proceeding to become specialists in complete car care and automotive repair services.

It wasn’t until 1999 that they awarded their first franchise location to one of Andy’s current employees who wanted to help expand the incredible brand. It proved to be worthwhile, and the Rad Air mission of delivering quality repairs with superior customer service continued to flourish and grow in Ohio. In 2005 the brand even began offering services on hybrid vehicles due to technology advancements in the automotive industry

DECEMBER 2021 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

because they continuously strive to stay present with industry trends.

Fast forward to 2014, and Bill Snow is now an Owner of a Rad Air location in Wickliffe, Ohio.

His goal when he opened his location was simple: to make car repair better. Not only did his new business venture do that, but in 2020 Bill was hired as the Vice President of Marketing & Franchise Development for the Rad Air Franchise and he has been crucial to their development ever since. Today there are 10 Rad Air locations in the Greater Cleveland-Akron area, and they have now set their sights on expansion across the nation!

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION With 45+ Years of Industry Experience, Andy and Bill have built the business on values of integrity and honesty. Since 1975, Rad Air has been widely recognized as a regional automotive repair brand and the neighborhood car care center that consumers trust. Rad Air builds clients, not customers, and their clients choose them because they’re seen as more than just a number. They treat their clients' vehicles as if they were their own, and their brand is based on a few, simple

timeless principles that Andy’s father instilled in him from a young age: treat everyone fairly and with respect, and always fix the vehicle right the first time.

Every Rad Air location specializes in comprehensive car maintenance and professional automotive repairs. Clients call on their local Rad Air to handle everything from preventative car services, such as tire checks and wheel alignments, to urgent repairs, like a faulty transmission or a failed E-Check exam. Their goal is to provide a great experience for their clients by always doing the job right and abiding by their four Golden Rules.

FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY With the Rad Air automotive concept, Franchise Owners are granted industry leading experience that’s been proven

through 45+ years of success, culture based on home-grown values, extensive marketing expertise and support, and a cutting edge concept that yields extremely high results.

They stand out from their competitors because they specialize in a multitude of automotive repair and car maintenance services that encompass the whole car, rather than just one or two

4 GOLDEN RULES 1. Fix the car right the first time.

2. Charge a fair price.

3. Never sell the client something they don’t need.

4. Make sure the client is happy.

areas. Additionally, their bumper-to-bumper services are rated a 5 Star experience because they have proven operational procedures that not only make things simple for Franchise Owners, but keep clients happy and coming back! In essence, they excel at what others don't: going the extra mile. Because to them, the care is in the details.

Rad Air was created to help people, and they are always honest and forthright with their clients because to them, they are friends and family.

As they continue to expand across the nation, these are the values they strive to instill in their potential Franchise Owners as well.

ecomaids: the original

eco-friendly cleaning maid cleaning service

F

or ecomaids, focusing on the increasingly popular “green” trend isn’t just an attempt to capitalize on a fad—providing consumers with top quality eco-friendly cleaning services is its primary mission.

It’s no secret that demand in the residential cleaning services industry is climbing.

With more than $50 billion in annual sales, more and more consumers are looking for brands and maids that will offer them a top-quality service for an affordable price. But people are also interested in working with companies who share their same values. And right now, one of the biggest lifestyle trends in the industry is being environmentally conscious.

To capitalize on this rising awareness and cognizance, along with an aging customer pool with more disposable income than ever, cleaning companies across the country are rolling out their own packages and special offers that focus on using eco-friendly products. But there’s only one company that’s 100% focused on remaining environmentally conscious no matter what service it’s

providing: ecomaids.

“It’s clear that the industry is shifting towards the trend of using eco-friendly products. But being environmentally conscious isn’t just a trend to us—it’s

how we operate our entire business,” said ecomaids CEO Lindsay Dellasega. “As the original eco-friendly cleaning maid cleaning service, we’re the experts in our field. Every product that we use and

“WE’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT LIVING A SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE THAT ALSO ENCOURAGES OTHERS TO HELP THE ENVIRONMENT AND THEIR FAMILIES AT THE SAME TIME.” —Lindsay Dellasega, ecomaids CEO

every job that we complete is specifically geared towards making a positive impact both on the environment and in our clients’ lives.”

“Our cleaning services are designed with our customers

in mind. Whatever a person’s or family’s needs are, we have a program in place that we can then tailor make to their individual space and preferences,” said Dellasega. “That ability to make a personal connection with our clients is another way that ecomaids stands out. Not only are we fully committed to using environmentally friendly products that are safe for children to be around, we’re also invested in making a positive difference in people’s lives.”

To make that positive impact on a larger scale, ecomaids goes the extra mile to offer competitive advantages that no other cleaning service brand does.

By using products that are free of all carcinogens, sodium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorate, for example, the brand makes it easier for people to focus on taking care of their families while also eliminating the stress of cleaning themselves. Every one of ecomaids’ employees also goes through a background check, with the brand handling all timekeeping and payroll so that customers don’t have to worry about keeping

track of reporting. And the maids behind the brand are all bonded, insured and fully trained to ensure that top quality services are consistently being carried out.

Beyond those signature services and advantages, ecomaids is also making it easier for consumers to use green cleaning products on their own. The brand made its proprietary product line of eco-friendly cleaning agents available for direct purchase, increasing accessibility to green cleaning solutions for its clients as a result.

“We’re passionate about living a sustainable lifestyle that also encourages others to help the environment and their families at the same time. By using fewer resources, protecting our clients’ health, and relying on sustainable business practices, we’re able to bring green living to thousands of customers,” said Dellasega. “Going forward, we’re eager to continue expanding our reach as a brand and making an even bigger impact than ever before. Demand for our services is only going to grow, and we’re fully prepared to make the most of our unique position in the marketplace.”

aving worked in franchise organizations for most of his life, Charles StClair cast a discerning eye when he made the decision to become a franchisee himself. He found the best fit with Floor Coverings International and in October, StClair launched operations with the brand that’s consistently ranked No. 1 in the mobile flooring category – visiting customers’ homes in a Mobile Flooring Showroom stocked with thousands of flooring samples from top manufacturers. Floor Coverings International of Louisville serves customers throughout the East End including Jeffersontown, Middletown, Anchorage, Crestwood, Prospect, Shelbyville, Simpsonville, Eastwood, Buckner, and Goshen.

The 57-year-old has more than 20 years of sales, marketing, and operations experience as an executive in large companies as well as running start-ups.

“Having worked in franchise organizations most of my life, I was looking for a franchise opportunity with

DECEMBER 2021 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

a reputable company, with good support systems and a disruptive selling proposition,” StClair said. “Floor Coverings International was the best fit.”

StClair had always wanted to own and operate his own business, like his grandfather and father before him. After a long and successful corporate career, he tried retirement for a year but soon realized it wasn’t for him. He said his former career experience in both large and start-up companies prepared him well for small-business ownership.

“The continuity between the two is that I have always been focused on creating customer satisfaction through personal relationships and excellent customer service,” StClair said.

“I have a proven record of developing successful teams that consistently deliver on consumer expectations with excellence. What better place to apply all that skill than to my own franchise within a winning system?”

“WE MAKE BUYING FLOORING EASY BY CONDUCTING FREE IN-HOME CONSULTATIONS... WE DO EVERYTHING IN ONE APPOINTMENT.” — CHARLES STCLAIR

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

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

“We make buying flooring easy by conducting free inhome consultations where we’ll do the measuring, show you samples in your actual room and lighting and provide you with a comprehensive quote,” StClair said. “There is no more running around trying to gather small samples to take home or waiting for someone to come measure.

We do everything in one appointment.”

With the home improvement industry booming, the flooring market is also keeping pace.

The global flooring market was estimated at $388 billion in 2020, but is expected to reach $409 billion in 2021, according to Grand View Research. The market is expected to grow at an annual rate of more than six percent from 2021 to 2028, reaching overall sales of $621 billion.

“More people are working from home, and as a result, they want to upgrade their home office and living spaces,” StClair said. “It is driving robust growth in the home improvement sector, which is hopefully a trend that will continue for several years.”

ABOUT US

The Ark Pet Spa & Hotel: Providing Stand-Out Pet Care in a Recession-Resistant Industry

by Camantha Magoon & Genevieve Konieczny

W

orking from home has become commonplace this year, mostly due to the unforeseen circumstances of the Coronavirus Pandemic.

As many of us have adapted to new remote work environments, another group found their lives impacted as well: our pets, who suddenly saw a huge uptick in facetime with their owners as offices moved from corporate buildings into kitchens and bedrooms. However, that extra facetime between pets and owners hasn’t stopped The Ark Pet Spa & Hotel from providing quality service to their local pets. Amidst the pandemic, and throughout the past year with remote work still being in play, the pet services franchise continued to be valuable for their grooming, boarding, and daycare services. In fact, the trying times re-confirmed the industry’s recession-resistance, as well as The Ark’s Franchise as a whole.

It’s true, The Ark Pet Spa & Hotel is an award winning Franchise concept in a completely recession resistant Industry. Not only did the pet industry stand strong through 9/11 and the Great Recession of 2008 and come out relatively unscathed, the same can be said for the Coronavirus Pandemic. If anything, 2021 pet spending statistics have proven that our pets are more important to us than ever before, and several factors support a very positive near and long-term outlook for the pet services industry (U.S. Market Outlook 2021-2002).

SURGE IN PET ACQUISITION & ADOPTION Not only did pets benefit from the shift to remote work environments, but pet adoptions also surged in 2020. In many cases, they opted to introduce new furry family members into the mix, recognizing the value of their emotional support and companionship. During this period, the increased bonding with pets only deepened the needs of pet owners to spend generously on pet care products and services to keep their pets, and themselves, healthy and happy.

NON-DISCRETIONARY PET SPENDING 2021 pet spending statistics point to the fact that we’re more invested in our pets than ever before, and typically once pets are homed, we use non-discretionary income to provide for their wellbeing, happiness, and care.

Additionally, the increase in pet adoptions seen in 2020

indicate a long-term need for pet supplies and services.

“OMNIMARKET” COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE An industry-wide pet care trend points toward multiservice facilities: those which house a variety of pet necessities under one roof such as grooming, boarding, training, as well as food and supplies. The Ark is a rising competitor as they provide a one-stop-shop for pet owners with their range of different services.

Furthermore, non-medical pet care is the most rapidly growing sector of the pet industry, and data indicates that the segment of pet owners seeking these types of services is only getting larger.

Statistics prove it: according to the National Pet Owners Survey (2019-2020) conducted by the American Pet Products Association, almost 85 million households have at least one

pet, and pet ownership has climbed from 56% to 68% of all households over the last 30 years. With increased pet ownership comes a need for increased services, positioning The Ark Pet Spa & Hotel for successful nationwide expansion.

As individuals and families stand poised to dote even further on their pets, The Ark Pet Spa & Hotel stands ready to deliver award-winning care at facilities currently located in the southeastern United States. With a new location coming soon to Salt Lake City, Utah, the all-inclusive pet service franchise is on the move across the nation, and your market could be next.

DAVID HILL

Principal Chief of the Muscogee Creek Nation

David Hill was elected to serve as the principal chief of the Muscogee Creek Nation in 2019. After a career as an executive with a major aerospace contractor, he is now focusing on the future for his people. This proud Nation traces its heritage back across time and has had many notable members.

As a major employer in Oklahoma, the Muscogee

60

Nation supports almost 9,000 jobs and contributes over $1.4 Billion to the US Economy with more than ½ of that in Oklahoma alone.

A leader who was recently named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential Americans, Hill has spent a lifetime leading and serving a variety of constituents. Prior to being elected Principal Chief, Hill served three consecutive four-year terms as a representative of the tribe’s legislative body, the National Council.

During his 12-year tenure, Hill’s Council experience included membership on the Tribal Affairs Committee; Business, Finance and Justice Committee; the Internal Affairs Committee; and the River Spirit Casino/ Hotel Expansion Oversight Committee. Hill’s colleagues also selected him, for two terms respectively, as National Council Sergeant-AtArms and Second Speaker.

Prior to his political career, Principal Chief Hill spent 30 years in the aerospace industry at the Nordam Corporation, including 23 years in Management within the organization that

DECEMBER 2021 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

employs over 2,500 people across multiple, strategicallylocated operations and customer support facilities around the world.

The firm designs, certifies and manufactures integrated propulsion systems, nacelles and thrust reversers for business jets; builds composite aircraft structures, interior shells, custom cabinetry and radomes; and manufactures aircraft transparencies, such as cabin windows, wing-tip lens assemblies and flight deck windows.

The same year he was elected his Nation took its fight to protect its sovereignty all the way to the Supreme Court and won. The McGirt v. Oklahoma decision the summer of 2020 was a groundbreaking triumph for all of Indian Country. The court held that the land the Muscogee Creek Nation was guaranteed in exchange for leaving their ancestral home remains a reservation today.

While many see the signs of the Nation throughout Oklahoma, their history is amazing. The Nation includes the Creek people and descendants of their African-descended slaves who were forced by the US government to relocate from their ancestral homes in the Southeast to Indian Territory in the 1830s, during the Trail of Tears. They signed another treaty with the federal government in 1856 The Creek established a new government in 1866 and selected a new capital

of Okmulgee. In 1867 they ratified a new constitution to incorporate elements of the new peace treaty, and their own desire for changes. They built their capitol building in 1867 and enlarged it in 1878.

Today the Creek National Capitol is a National Historic Landmark. It now houses the Creek Council House Museum, as more space was needed for the government.

During the prosperous final decades of the 19th century, when the tribe had autonomy and minimal interference from the federal government, the Nation built schools, churches, and public houses.

The Muscogee (Creek) Nation, rebranded in May of 2021 as simply the Muscogee Nation, is a federally recognized Native American tribe based in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. The nation descends from the historic Creek Confederacy, a large group of indigenous peoples of the Southeastern Woodlands. Official languages include Muscogee, Yuchi, Natchez, Alabama, and Koasati, with Muscogee

retaining the largest number of speakers. They commonly refer to themselves as Este Mvskokvlke (pronounced [isti məskógəlgi]). Historically, they were often referred to by European Americans as one of the Five Civilized Tribes of the American Southeast Today, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation is headquartered in Okmulgee, Oklahoma and serves as the seat of tribal government.

The Muscogee Nation's Reservation status was affirmed in 2020 by the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Sharp v.

Murphy, which held that the allotted Muscogee (Creek) Nation reservation in Oklahoma has not been disestablished and therefore retains jurisdiction over tribal citizens in Creek, Hughes, Okfuskee, Okmulgee, Mayes, McIntosh, Muskogee, Rogers, Seminole, Tulsa, and Wagoner counties in Oklahoma.

In 2019, the total population of Muscogee (Creek) citizens was 87,344. Oklahoma accounted for 65,070 of this population, with California

MUSCOGEE NATION, IS A FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBE BASED IN THE U.S. STATE OF OKLAHOMA. THE NATION DESCENDS FROM THE HISTORIC CREEK CONFEDERACY, A LARGE GROUP OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE SOUTHEASTERN WOODLANDS.

accounting for 4,787 and Texas with some 4,466 citizens. Tulsa, Oklahoma was the city most populated with citizens at 11,194. The population is split exactly in half, 50% of the citizens are female and 50% are male, with the age range of 18-54 dominating.

In addition to their many commercial activities, The Muscogee Nation is dedicated to the future of all their members and has founded a tribal college in Okmulgee, the College of the Muscogee Nation (CMN), one of only 38 Tribal Colleges in the US. CMN is a two-year institution, offering associate degrees in Tribal Services, Police Science, Gaming, and Native American Studies. It offers Mvskoke language, Native American History, Tribal Government, Indian Land Issue classes as well as traditional undergraduate courses.

Under the leadership of Chief David Hill, the future of the Muscogee Tribe is in good hands as they focus on the future with their deep roots honoring their ancestors.

ounder Jay Floyd was feeling pet stressed when he and his family began researching boarding options for their beloved Rottweiler, Sophie.

They were leaving town on a short vacation, but everywhere they looked, they got the sneaking suspicion that Sophie wouldn’t be having as much fun as them during their time off.

To fill this gap, Jay set out to create a safe harbor for pets — a fun place where their parents wouldn’t feel an ounce of guilt leaving them for the day or for the week. The Ark would be an all-inclusive pet hotel, spa and daycare where all creatures could feel safe and loved, from dogs and cats to hamsters and lizards.

rawl Space Ninja began to solve the problem of indoor air quality (IAQ) as it relates to the crawl space and basement of our homes. IAQ is the #1 environmental health concern according to the WHO before the pandemic. The spread of Coronavirus has certainly improved the publics awareness of IAQ even more and made our services in high demand. Solving issues like wet crawl spaces and basements with high humidity will not prevent damage to the foundation of the home but will prevent the spread of harmful molds, termites, and even help limit the spread of viruses, bacteria, and dust mites. We are an essential business even with being deemed so by those in authority. Our growth during a time with others have had to close their doors has been extraordinary.

he Two Maids & A Mop story began inside a 250 square foot office space on April Fools' Day back in 2003.

In our first year of operations, we cleaned less than one hundred homes and staffed a few part-time employees.

It took the business eighteen months to make its first dollar in profits.

The business started to grow fast in 2005.

We opened two additional stores along the gulf coast of Florida. Between 2009 - 2015, we opened more than a dozen stores across five southeastern states. We employed more 200 employees and served 500 customers on a daily basis. Today, we serve over 90 markets across the country and plan to keep growing.

Our story started picking up steam nationally and major publications profiled our business' story. Our rags to riches story has been chronicled in national magazines such as Entrepreneur Magazine, Better Homes & Garden, Success Magazine, CNN Money, Yahoo News and even CNBC. For the past three years, Two Maids & A Mop has been recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing cleaning companies in the entire country.

A

RCpoint Labs was founded in 1998 by Felix Mirando, offering drug and alcohol testing to small and medium-sized businesses in Greenville, South Carolina.

Around this time, Felix observed an important gap between large and small companies in the diagnostic lab testing industry: Large ones cannot provide the same level of personalized services and the small one can’t compete with the national buying power of the larger ones.

He saw value in the local owner model based on his experience as a large brick-and-mortar franchise owner.Local lab collection agencies were developing great relationships with community organizations, while large national companies were able to leverage immense buying power and technology to decrease costs and position themselves better to potential clients. By combining the two—local ownership with national technology and buying power— Felix aimed to capitalize on a market that wasn’t being tapped. His idea allowed local franchise owners to meet their community’s needs while reaching their professional and financial goals.

C Kinetix is a concierge medicine pain clinic. QC Kinetix treats damaged joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and tissue due to arthritis or injury. We use non-surgical injections to restore damaged tissue, decrease pain, and increase the quality of life. This is designed to be a long-term fix and keep patients out of surgery, away from toxic steroid injections, and off addictive pain medications. Franchisees can be absentee or semi-absentee.

Between injuries on the field, the wear and tear on his joints from dancing his way to a Mirror Ball Trophy, and a life-long athlete who once said, “You can’t play the game if you can’t play with pain,” Smith understands the benefits of using QC Kinetix’s state-of-theart treatments and the body’s own healing properties to treat pain and enjoy an improved quality of life.

QC Kinetix is thrilled to be partnering with the NFL’s all-time leading rusher to introduce one of the fastest-growing medical specialties to people in need of pain relief.

EXTAFF is based on the simple premise that companies are always looking to hire, and people are always looking for jobs, so what do our Franchise Owners do?

They match companies with employees and charge for the service- it’s that easy! NEXTAFF Franchise Owners receive our proprietary X-FACTOR recruiting method which has been statistically proven to outperform a traditional staffing competitor or HR department by as much as 100%! Not only that, but we have changed the way Owners pay royalties, increased territory size, and offer an outstanding back-office support system.

Our IT franchise is based on one simple premise: companies are always looking to hire quality people, and people are always looking for jobs. NEXTAFF provides a service that is vital to the business landscape in any economy.

e all know that buying a franchise is a great opportunity to own your own business and receive guidance every step of the way. While the Moxie Salon & Beauty Bar® franchise lies within the thriving hair care industry, the brand has already proven to be successful. So why should you consider a full service salon over other business models?

Simple, economy of scale! Though some blowout bars are successful now, why narrow your reach. Could there come a time when blowouts are no longer in vogue? Sure! That’s why our business model makes more sense.

Moxie has generated a easy to predict cash flow that is to be expected by a franchise. The prices that customers will find at Moxie Salon & Beauty Bar® are affordable compared to those of a typical salon.

Our ultra-modern high end salon design and brand imaging combine to form an inviting and alluring salon experience. And we back that up with the kind of service experience customers want but at a great value.

Conserva’s system sales continued to grow rapidly throughout 2020 & 2021 despite the COVID-19 pandemic. As American’s hunkered down at home, they increased investments in home improvement and maintenance activities, and Conserva is well-positioned to take advantage of increased demand.

ignworld Business Partners is an owner's alliance. Not to be confused with the printers and banner shops, Signworld is a light manufacturing business model in an industry that keeps growing, which allows our operations to charge a higher profit margin. We are in an industry where the projects are customized and application based. No royalties, so they can keep their profits and grow the business. Signworld has "No Rules" unlike a franchise. It is a fun business! Every project is different; every day is different. This is a one-location business with regular business hours and few employees.

98% of all signs are indoors. They are paper posters, cardboard, banners and thin plastic like materials. Most signs are thrown away every month. In December, they say “Happy Holidays”.

In January, they say “Clearance”. In February, they say “Valentine’s Day”, and on and on.

Drive down any street, walk into any business, notice vehicles of all sizes wrapped in pictures and graphics or visit a tradeshow and the opportunity for building a business in the sign industry will become very clear.

Why Signworld? ‣ Signworld is not a franchise, it is a business opportunity. There are NO ROYALTIES to pay and NO RULES to follow! You will have your very own identity and make your own decisions but yet have the daily support of an association. It’s the perfect choice for the true entrepreneur. ‣ A proven business model with over 33 years in the industry and a 90% location success rate. We have helped hundreds of owners grow their business from the ground up. ‣ Signworld isn’t just a business opportunity, we are a collaborative family. You will truly appreciate and understand the family element to our model and recognize that it’s a big piece of our organizations success.

It’s what stands us apart from all the others franchise concepts.

What is most important for you to know?

Business Activity ‣ Business to business - primarily with long-term repeat customers. Typically, 80% of your revenue can come from less than 30 clients who order frequently. Signs touch every business so every business is a potential customer! ‣ No cold-calling, not a hard-sell type of business. We teach proven networking and internet marketing techniques that help each owner generate leads that produce business through relational sales. ‣ The sign industry is fun! Every job, every customer and every day is different than the day before. The result is a happy staff and more importantly a happy customer through tangible visible results.

Economics ‣ Only one location, only one employee to start and very low inventory creating low start-up overhead and a relatively quick cashflow break-even point. ‣ The sign industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. Signs have been around forever and are recession resistant. ‣ Manufacturing businesses usually build more equity than most other types of businesses which allows for a higher business resale when the owner is ready to retire.

Lifestyle ‣ Monday - Friday, 9-5 - No nights, weekends or holidays. ‣ Community involvement ‣ Choose your own name, build your own brand, create your very own company culture!

Since then, not only has Mark had the privilege of becoming Owner and CEO, but he has been able to grow his local plumbing operation into a highly successful company serving as the model for all 1-800-Plumber +Air locations. Transitioning from a Franchisee to the Franchisor has given Mark a unique perspective ensuring the systems 1-800-Plumber +Air has built are always in the best interest of the franchise owners and the brand. The plumbing and HVAC industries combine to a nearly $200 billion dollar industry.

As one of the only franchise opportunities offering the unique combined revenue streams of plumbing and HVAC under one brand, 1-800-Plumber +Air allows franchise owners to operate in an incredibly strong and viable industry.

vybrook Academy provides a progressive approach to early childhood education, which values students’ individual voices within our community and cultivates compassionate citizens who find joy in learning. Children’s unique voices must be heard and ideas honored as they actively participate in their learning.

Our learning community believes in a strong partnership between families and committed educators. An ideal early learning environment consists of opportunities for children to explore, create, solve problems, and work collaboratively with others. We believe that children are born with a natural curiosity about the world, and that cultivating this curiosity with careful listening and support is the key to successful lifelong learning.

Guided by this, we provide a curriculum that combines progressive approaches to early childhood education which draws from the customized learning approach of Montessori, the experiences in Reggio Emilia, and Multiple Intelligence research. These philosophies are blended into our comprehensive half-day preschool providing a solid foundation for our children’s early learning years.

T

he Driveway Company is a one-stop opportunity for your concrete repair, renew, and maintenance needs.

We’ve been in business for over 30 years.

Ninety percent of concrete driveway replacements are preventable. Due to the rate that concrete can deteriorate, it’s smart for homeowners to prepare their driveways, walkways, pool decks, and patios ahead of time. In the cooler months when rain and snow absorb and moisture penetrate unsealed concrete, freezing can cause up to nine percent expansion. The concrete will then loosen and start to crumble, damaging the appearance while making it even more susceptible to further damage. For those of you that use salt and chemicals to remove ice, even more damage is being done to unprotected concrete. In the southern climates, heat can cause surface damage to concrete as water seeps down below the surface and is absorbed.

osta Oil provides a hassle-free,10minute oil change service. Their success is built on the premise of efficiency and superior customer service. Costa Oil’s stores are prefabricated buildings located on formerly unused parking areas, providing a revenue source for the landlords and allowing the franchisees to manage overhead costs. By restricting their offerings to oil changes, they can provide excellent service with just two trained employees on site.

CEO and founder, Costa Kapothanasis, is a native of Portland Maine and graduated from Mount St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg Maryland. He went on to receive an MBA and MSF from New England college. After a career in asset management, Costa began a small custom baseball bat business where his love for entrepreneurship began. Starting a quick lube business was a natural progression, as his father and uncle already had a successful private company with 26 quick lube shops across Maine.

Whether it’s with ingredients, recipes or techniques, we constantly explore opportunities to delight our guests with delicious, healthy and craveable food crafted from clean label ingredients.

ow Did You Get Into the Industry?

I was given an opportunity to open a little food shack on Venice Beach, and I took it. It was less than 150 sq. ft, so I knew I had to keep it really simple and do one thing well, and being from Scotland, fish & chips is our national dish. So what I’ve done is take this classic dish and gave it a little California twist, bringing it into the 21st Century. That’s how The Wee Chippy was born.

What’s New in Your Business/Franchise Model?

Even before the pandemic, white tablecloth dining was very much in decline, being replaced with high-quality, quick-service food establishments. The Wee Chippy offers all that and something new — no one is doing just fish & chips. And no one does it like we do. Our fish & chips can be seasoned in unlimited ways with our line of specialty gourmet salts, giving customers a different flavor experience every time.

Where Do You See Opportunities and/or Challenges for the Business/Franchise Model?

The Wee Chippy adapted to a radically changing environment. Our focus on achieving zero-waste and using recyclable products.

osquito Shield was founded in September of 2001 in response to the absence of an effective residential mosquito control service and the inadequacy of control products such as body sprays, candles, and mosquito magnets. Now, over 1 million treatments and 50 franchise locations later, Mosquito Shield’s proprietary control products and specialized spray techniques keep tens of thousands of American homes mosquito and tick-free every year.

Company founder, David Briggs, spent twenty years as a franchisee with a national lawn care franchise and, having listened to the evolving needs of his customers, understood there was a market for a residential mosquito control service and decided to strike out on his own. He started developing his own proprietary blend of all-natural oils and select control products, and testing application methods and frequencies with the goal of perfecting an effective and responsible solution.

n 2012, long-time friends, Dustin Distefano and Jerod Evanich, were inspired by their own personal experiences to start a business built on providing professional in-home senior care that allows seniors to remain happy and independent in the comfort of their own home. Unlike any other senior home care company, A Place At Home built a Senior-Focused Care model. This model offers four continuum of care services providing multiple streams of revenue, which include in-home senior care, care coordination, senior living alternatives, and staffing solutions.

Senior care is one of the most impactful businesses a community can have. Committed to their ‘We are CARE’ philosophy of being Compassionate, Accountable, Respectful, and Ethical, they began franchising this business model in 2017. Deemed "a next-gen home care franchise opportunity" by FRANX, they have now opened 21 locations coast-to-coast.

Guests can get creative with their cravings and build their own bowls in a fast-casual restaurant setting with a variety of gluten-friendly bases, veggies, proteins, sauces, and add-ons that are all prepared fresh in-house daily. Here, freshness isn’t just a saying, it’s a commitment. A sincere belief that a good mood begins with good food.

That’s why our menu items are created using clean ingredients with individual tastes and dietary needs in mind. We believe the positive energy we send out into the world expands and multiplies.

mokin' Oak Wood-Fired Pizza has carved out an incredible niche in the fast casual pizza market. We make our own sauces, our own dough, chop ALL our veggies by hand throughout the day and even roast our meats in the oven in the morning. Our pizzas bake in just a couple of minutes in our wood-fired oven fueled by 12-month aged oak wood. We have elevated the experience by offering an optional self-serve taproom wall, offering beer, wine and even mixed cocktails (the taproom wall has an ROI of less than 12 months!). Our Cost of Goods Sold is one of the lowest in the industry, and we have an impressive Franchisee on-boarding program which takes our Franchisees from site selection all the way through grand opening day.

ounded in 2012 by entrepreneurs Rob and Erin Arnold, Launch Entertainment is an innovative leader in the family entertainment industry.

The Arnold’s were inspired to start their own business after a rainy day on vacation at Disney World. Rather than running around in ponchos at a theme park, the pair searched for indoor fun but couldn’t find many options, so they created their own. What started as an indoor trampoline park for kids has evolved into a year-round, all-inclusive family entertainment center featuring an XP Arena, ninja courses, climbing walls, laser tag, battle pits, bowling, giant trampoline surfaces, and more. As an ideal space for kids and adults alike, Launch offers a safe and enjoyable environment for date nights, birthday parties, family events, corporate events, church outings, fundraisers, and other get-togethers. Currently, there are 29 parks open and operating in 13 states, with numerous others in development across the country.

ike Merrick founded Fish Window Cleaning in January 1978. Based on growing demand and his success, Mike realized there was a need for this service in other markets. He used his 20 years of experience to create the Fish Window Cleaning franchise system. In 1998, the first FISH franchise opened in Tampa, FL, and from there, FISH became the world’s largest window cleaning company with over 275 franchise locations coast-to-coast.

FISH franchise owners experience a business that gives them a great lifestyle immediately (no nights, weekends, or holidays) and the ability to go out every day and grow their business in a market with fragmented competition. Most importantly, the owner is not the window cleaner, but the business professional who is dedicated to following the complete franchise system.

How to know if

Your PR Firm Is Guessing.

Can your PR firm prove it’s generating media coverage around the specific topics your customers and franchise candidates are searching for online and on social media?

If not, they are simply guessing what story angles convert candidates into customers.

PR firms are typically evaluated based on soft metrics like media coverage and media impressions… not measurable results.

That’s why we created 919 Insights – the franchise industry’s first and only AI powered data analytics platform that identifies the exact topics your customers and candidates are searching for online and on social media as they evaluate franchise brands and options.

Our clients know that every PR campaign is driven by hard, measurable data, NOT fuzzy guesswork.

Join our family of franchise brands and shift your consumer and franchise development PR programs from “I think” to “I know” what success looks like.

ason Mazzarone started making acai bowls for friends and family along with his homemade granola, now dubbed SoBol’s “special sauce.” It was a hit! Jason’s mom turned this into a “teaching moment” and allowed Jason to sell his acai bowls before the Italian Ice Shack opened every morning. Jason and his acai bowls outgrew the Ice Shack and his next move was to negotiate some space in a nearby deli about half a mile away. He quickly outgrew that space too, as lines formed to get a taste of his bowls and smoothies. That’s when he and his partner opened their flagship store in 2014, in Sayville, New York.

With locations now operating across New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Florida, Virginia, California, North Carolina, and New Jersey, SoBol is quickly becoming one of the most recognizable superfood shops in the country."

There are a lot of gym franchises, but there is only one RockBox Fitness. Our franchisees have the opportunity to scale very early on in their launch, and then expand through multiple revenue streams.

We also don’t have rows of treadmills or expensive equipment to maintain and fix like most studios. Franchisees will be entering a market that is growing in size every year with a prospect base that is unsatisfied with the results they are getting at their current gym.

Unfortunately, the obesity trend in our nation is staggering, but fortunately that offers an incredibly large market for to serve. Of all the new fitness franchises, RockBox stands apart, because we help members better their health with not only the best workout, but also nutritional guidance, dietary supplements, 1:1 accountability coaching, and valuable resources which get results, while also generating competitive immunity for our franchisees.

affrano is a boutique café specializing in fresh gourmet crepes, with an authentic worldly array of recipes. As a full-service restaurant, Saffrano has an international themed menu that includes gourmet savory crepes, dessert crepes and waffles, breakfast crepes and waffles, freshly roasted coffee, and more.

Taylor and his wife Angie opened Saffrano in January 2020. Angie is a professional chef with a decade worth of experience in the culinary industry, and her dream was to open her own restaurant. Taylor is a CPA with 11 years of public accounting experience. Taylor and Angie working together caused this dream to become a reality. Despite opening weeks before a global pandemic, the Saffrano brand has taken off in south Florida, and customers every week beg the owners of Saffrano to expand to more locations. Saffrano is now poised for tremendous growth beginning in 2022 by way of franchising.

wning this franchise is the best decision I ever made."

— Nate Van Valkenburg Labor Panes started providing professional exterior window washing, pressure washing, and gutter cleaning services to the larger Charlotte Metro area in 2005. We keep our menu of services simple to allow us to focus on growth and customer service. Tyler Kirk founded the company on the premise, “We are a customer service company that happens to do exterior cleaning.”

People and relationships are at the core of our business. By offering services that our clients need on a recurring basis, we develop a loyal customer base (and repeat business!). We focus on the higher end residential market because these homeowners take great pride in their homes, value quality over price, and opt to outsource the majority of their home maintenance needs.

Labor Panes launched our first franchise in 2013, and we now have operating locations spanning the South East with more to come in 2022.
