A Year of Reinvention & Opportunity

F

ranchising closed out 2025 with strength, momentum, and an unmistakable sense of confidence. After several years of economic turbulence, the sector didn’t just bounce back — it surged. New units opened across the country. Job creation pushed upward.

Franchise brands expanded into new territories, experimented with new formats, and attracted more corporate refugees seeking control over their professional lives. The story of 2025 is simple: franchising won.

What drove this growth wasn’t luck. It was a combination of stabilizing economic conditions, the resilience of service-based business models, and the adoption of new technologies that made franchise operations faster, cleaner, and more efficient. But while technology — especially artificial intelligence — is shaping a new era for franchisors, it is not replacing the core human

NOTES

value that defines franchising. The strongest sectors this year demonstrate that clearly.

Property services, medical and wellness care, food, and fitness all had banner years. They also share something important: they are fundamentally human. No algorithm can fix a leaking pipe, guide a patient through recovery, prepare a great meal, or motivate someone through the last grueling minute of a workout.

AI can streamline. AI can support. AI can remove friction. But these industries run on people, trust, presence, and hands-on service — and that is why they are thriving.

This year’s growth was driven by several key factors. Inflation cooled. Interest rates began to ease. The job market shifted in a way that pushed more people to consider business ownership.

Service-oriented franchises, in particular, saw a surge because they solve essential needs with

BUT WHILE AI HAS INTRODUCED REAL EFFICIENCY, IT HAS NOT CHANGED ONE ESSENTIAL TRUTH: FRANCHISING IS STILL A HUMAN BUSINESS. predictable demand. Home repair, cleaning, restoration, senior care, medical aesthetics, urgent care, quick-serve food, fast-casual concepts, boutique fitness — these categories saw development pipelines fill quickly.

Another factor was the continuing shift away from traditional corporate structures. Many professionals are leaving large organizations in search of ownership, independence, and a clearer link between their work and their financial reward. Franchising provided the answer. The “corporate-to-business-owner” pipeline grew rapidly throughout 2025, creating a larger pool of qualified, well-capitalized buyers entering the franchise market.

Within this environment, AI advanced from experimental tool to everyday utility. Its influence is real. AI now assists franchise development teams by identifying stronger prospects earlier in the pipeline. It enhances marketing campaigns.

It predicts operational problems. It personalizes franchisee training. It automates scheduling, routing, back-office tasks, and customer followup. For franchisors, AI helps deliver consistency across hundreds of units. For franchisees, it removes administrative weight and lets them focus on revenue.

But while AI has introduced real efficiency, it has not changed one essential truth: franchising is still a human business.

Property service franchises are a perfect example. These brands require technicians, crews, cleaners, installers, and on-site problem solvers. AI can route jobs, optimize supply runs, or pre-diagnose an issue. But the work still happens in kitchens, backyards, businesses, and construction sites — by people customers trust to enter their homes and deliver quality. Demand for these services increased throughout 2025, and the category continues to be one of the most accessible and scalable in the franchise landscape.

Medical and health-care franchises grew even faster. While AI supports diagnostics, appointment management, and treatment

planning, the physical care itself will always rely on skilled professionals and personal interactions. Senior care companions, nurses, medical assistants, technicians, aestheticians — these roles can’t be replaced. They are rooted in empathy, connection, regulation, and judgment.

The success of this sector in 2025 underscores that no matter how advanced AI becomes, health remains human-centered.

Food franchising had an equally impressive year. Automation made kitchens more efficient, but customer experience made restaurants successful. Whether it’s a quick snack, a family meal, or a dining ritual, food remains tied to culture, comfort, and interaction. Even when AI predicts ordering patterns or improves drivethru flow, people still prepare the food, hand it over, and create an experience that keeps customers returning.

Fitness franchises round out the group. This category grew rapidly because it delivers an emotional connection that technology can’t

mimic. AI can track reps. It can adjust workout plans. It can guide someone through a sequence.

But it can’t replicate the energy of a live instructor, the encouragement of a coach, or the community created in a fitness class. Humans power motivation. Humans build culture. This is why fitness franchises consistently outperform other wellness models.

Together, these categories illuminate a clear truth about franchising’s future: the winning model is hybrid. The back end becomes smarter, faster, and more predictive. The front end stays anchored in human performance.

For franchisors, this means adopting AI where it improves outcomes without overpromising automation that undermines the human core of the business. Strong brands will present AI as a competitive advantage — not as a replacement for what makes their system valuable. AI should cut wasted time, improve decision-making, speed up onboarding, and allow franchisees to run more efficiently. But the brand promise remains grounded in service, quality, and human delivery.

12

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

For franchisees, it means choosing systems that lean into technology while still offering strong training, operational support, and a proven model. The best opportunities in 2026 and beyond will be in sectors that combine essential human services with the efficiency benefits of AI. This is where margins grow, customer satisfaction improves, and owners build true equity.

Looking ahead, expect franchisors to emphasize AI as part of their development story. Multi-unit operators will expand faster because automation will handle more of the repetitive administrative work that used to limit their scale. Back-office roles will shift, not disappear. Systems will become more predictive. But at the unit level — inside the home, clinic, restaurant, or studio — humans will continue to drive the product and the experience.

One final point: franchising remains strong because it is built on alignment. Franchisors and franchisees succeed together when the model works. Technology strengthens that alignment when used correctly. But the heart of franchising — the people, the operators, the teams, the customers — remains unchanged.

2025 was a standout year. It proved that franchising is not only resilient but also adaptive and forward-looking. As more tools emerge and more owners enter the ecosystem, the sector will continue to grow. And it will grow on the same foundation it always has: systems, support, community, and human service.

AI will make franchising smarter. But people will keep franchising strong.

Here’s to an outstanding year — and to an even brighter one ahead.

The Best Franchise Opportunities of 2025

by Seth Lederman, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

A

s the franchise industry continues to evolve in 2025, one thing has become clear—entrepreneurs are looking for opportunity models that balance innovation, stability, and scalability. The best franchises this year combine proven demand with forwardthinking business models that align with shifting consumer needs, technology adoption, and long-term profitability.

And 2025 has been a good year for franchising. By this past August, franchise units were on track to expand by 2.5%.

That’s alongside total franchise economic output growing by 4.4% jump over last year. That’s an output increase of more than $936 billion, as well as an expansion of 851,000 locations.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A 2025 FRANCHISE When evaluating franchise opportunities this year, investors prioritized: • Essential or recurring demand—Businesses tied to everyday needs are less volatile.

• Technology integration— Brands leveraging automation, AI, or advanced

systems offer scalability.

• Low overhead and high margins—The best models are simple to operate and quick to break even.

• Proven support systems— Strong training, operational guidance, and marketing make all the difference.

• Future relevance—Choose industries that will thrive long-term, not trends that fade.

The best franchise opportunities in 2025 reflected a new era of entrepreneurship—one defined by innovation, efficiency, and essential services. No matter the type of franchise, the key to success this year lay in aligning with a brand that values both performance and partnership.

TOPS IN 2025 From essential services and home improvement to technology-enabled automotive care, the standout franchises of 2025 aren’t just growing—they’re redefining what sustainable entrepreneurship looks like.

Below are some of the topperforming franchise sectors and the brands leading the charge.

• Health and Wellness— The health and wellness industry continues to surge as consumers seek

personalized, preventive care. Franchises offering fitness, nutrition, and home health services have proven to be very resilient and adaptable in today’s economy. From boutique fitness studios to medical support franchises, the ability to meet clients where they are—both physically and emotionally—has been key to growth.

• Home Services and Maintenance—The stay-athome culture that began during the pandemic has solidified into longterm consumer behavior.

Home repair, cleaning, and renovation franchises have benefited from steady demand and repeat customers. As homeowners prioritize convenience, professional service, and reliability, franchises that deliver consistent quality continue to thrive.

• Fast-Casual Dining and Beverage Concepts— The food service industry remains a cornerstone of franchising, but success in 2025 comes down to differentiation. Fast-casual brands emphasizing clean ingredients, sustainability, and digital convenience are dominating. Smoothie, poke bowl, and plant-based quick-service restaurants are expanding quickly, particularly in suburban markets.

• Education and Tutoring Services—As academic performance and skillsbased learning remain top priorities for parents, education franchises have

carved out strong positions in local markets. From early learning centers to test prep programs, franchises offering measurable outcomes and hybrid delivery options have proven both profitable and purposeful.

• Tech-Driven Servicese— From cybersecurity solutions to smart-home installations, tech-based franchises are becoming indispensable for both consumers and businesses. The best opportunities are those that combine specialized expertise with recurring revenue—helping clients stay connected, secure, and up to date with evolving technologies.

• Pet Care and Grooming— Pet ownership continues to rise, and with it comes demand for quality grooming, daycare, and training services. Franchises that emphasize care, convenience, and quality customer experience— often through mobile or membership-based models—are seeing steady growth.

• Automotive Services—Few industries blend necessity with profitability quite like automotive care. As vehicles grow more complex, franchises that specialize in repair, recalibration, and restoration have become increasingly lucrative.

Brands like Optic-Kleer (more on them below) are leading the way by combining essential services with advanced technology and efficient, scalable operations.

“I’M ALWAYS FOCUSED ON GETTING BETTER. I'M NOT FOCUSING ON BEING THE BEST." — Jared Cannonier FRANCHISE SPOTLIGHT: OPTIC-KLEER – DRIVING SUCCESS THROUGH INNOVATION Optic-Kleer has earned its place as one of 2025’s most promising franchise opportunities by reimagining what an auto glass business can be. As a full-service auto glass franchise, Optic-Kleer specializes in windshield and auto glass repair, replacement, and recalibration—services that are essential, profitable, and increasingly in demand.

At the core of Optic-Kleer’s success is a hybrid hub-andspoke model that combines a leased shop location with a mobile service van. The shop primarily caters to retail customers, while the mobile van serves both retail and commercial accounts,

including fleet operators, car dealerships, and body shops. This flexibility allows franchisees to capture a wider market share and operate efficiently across customer segments.

The real game-changer for Optic-Kleer is the introduction of ADAS recalibration services.

Modern vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)—including lane departure warnings, autonomous cruise control, and collision alerts—require precise recalibration after windshield replacement. Even a one-degree misalignment in the windshield can throw the system’s accuracy off by as much as 20 feet, potentially leading to dangerous steering or false alerts.

Recalibration isn’t just a critical safety measure—it’s also a major profit driver. The service typically commands between $250 and $600 per job, and since it’s softwarebased, it yields nearly 100% profit margin. Combined with an average $300 windshield replacement profit, OpticKleer franchisees can generate 20

strong returns on each service, often within an hour of work.

Another major advantage?

Many competitors don’t offer recalibration services because of the high cost of equipment.

Optic-Kleer, on the other hand, has already invested in top-tier technology and secured pre-negotiated rates with insurance companies, ensuring franchisees are paid in full for recalibration and replacement work.

Beyond windshields, OpticKleer also handles door and rear glass replacements, motor repairs, and headlight restoration—a popular addon that restores cloudy or yellowed headlights to likenew condition for just $3 in material cost, with customers paying between $120 and $150.

The result is a simple, highmargin service that boosts customer satisfaction and repeat business.

Optic-Kleer’s proven training, branding, and administrative support systems empower franchisees to launch quickly— often within 30 to 60 days—and operate confidently. With over 33 years of experience, more

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

than 200 franchises across five countries, and a family-oriented culture, the company blends the scale of an international network with the personal touch of a local business.

The brand’s focus on simplicity and profitability is clear: • Low investment and fast ROI • Quick-to-launch model with full support • Pre-negotiated insurance payments for reliable income • Essential industry with growing demand • Strong reputation for quality and safety As vehicles become more advanced and ADAS systems become standard on nearly all new models, Optic-Kleer is positioned for sustained growth. With a track record of success, robust profit potential, and a commitment to franchisee support, it’s no surprise the company is rapidly emerging as one of the best automotive franchise investments of 2025.

Franchisees who invest wisely today are setting the stage for steady, scalable success tomorrow. Frannexus can help.

Young Entrepreneurship in the Age of AI

by Alex Neonakis, Writer

T

echnology is everywhere in my life.

It follows me from the moment I wake up and check my phone, to the AIpowered tools I use in school, to the way I stay connected with my friends. My generation grew up with instant answers, instant notifications, and instant expectations. Every part of our lives is shaped by a digital layer that older generations didn’t have. For us, technology isn’t something new. It’s the water we swim in.

But here’s the truth I’ve come to understand: for all the innovation, all the speed, and all the automation, the basic parts of life don’t change. They can’t change. The world still needs people to take care of the things that really matter — the things that keep our homes,

24

families, pets, and communities running. And this is where entrepreneurship becomes more important than ever.

Even as a high-school senior, I see it clearly. If your toilet leaks, no app in the world can crawl under the sink and fix it. If your trash piles up, no AI can haul it away. If your dog needs a bath, and you don’t want your entire house flooded, someone has to roll up their sleeves and do it. Technology can help schedule the appointment, track the route, and process the payment, but the actual service — the real work — takes a human being standing in front of you.

That’s the part people forget when they talk about AI replacing everything. They picture robots doing all our jobs. But most of the jobs that

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

matter day to day are local, physical, and personal. They happen in real places with real people.

They’re the backbone of every community.

My dad works in franchising, so I’ve grown up seeing how entrepreneurship solves problems at a human level.

What I’ve noticed is that the most successful entrepreneurs aren’t the ones trying to chase trends or invent the next big social app. They’re the ones who look around their neighborhoods and pay attention. They’re the ones who realize that families still need clean homes, working air conditioning, mowed lawns, safe pet care, reliable food options, and people who actually show up when something breaks.

No matter how advanced technology becomes, people still live in physical spaces with physical needs. That’s why service businesses are powerful.

They’re tied to essentials.

They’re tied to real life.

My generation is often told we’re obsessed with screens, and maybe that’s true sometimes. But I also think we understand something important: we want to build lives with meaning. We want to create. We want flexibility.

We want to feel ownership over our time and our future. When I look at the entrepreneurs who inspire me, whether they’re in home services, food, fitness, pet care, or property maintenance, they share the same trait: they solve problems that can’t be ignored.

If the water stops running, people want a solution now. If the basement floods, someone has to come. If a storm knocks down a tree, someone has to remove it. You can’t download a plumber. You can’t livestream a junk removal crew. You can’t automate compassion when someone’s elderly parent needs in-home support. At some point, technology steps aside and the human being steps in.

That’s why local entrepreneurship is so powerful and so lasting. It exists where technology cannot replace the human touch — judgment, empathy, trust, skill, and presence. And when you combine that human element with smart tools, the possibilities become even bigger.

Technology can make entrepreneurs more efficient.

It can eliminate wasted time.

It can help them schedule smarter, market better, hire

I THINK AI WILL CHANGE JOBS. BUT THE WORK THAT REALLY MATTERS — THE WORK THAT KEEPS SOCIETY FUNCTIONING — WILL ALWAYS COME BACK TO PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO HELP, BUILD, FIX, SERVE, AND CREATE. faster, and serve customers more consistently. But it can’t replace the essence of their work. It can only highlight it.

In the next decade, I believe the most important businesses won’t be the flashiest or the most digital. They will be the ones that solve real daily needs with a combination of tech and human reliability.

Entrepreneurship will grow the most in the areas where life happens: in homes, hospitals, kitchens, gyms, neighborhoods, and local communities.

People talk about AI taking jobs. I think AI will change jobs. But the work that really matters — the work that keeps society functioning — will always come back to people who are willing to help, build, fix, serve, and create.

My generation has a huge opportunity in this. We’re

growing up understanding technology instinctively, but we’re also grounded enough to see where it falls short.

Entrepreneurship is the bridge between those two worlds. It lets us take the efficiency of technology and apply it to the basic needs that will never go away. It gives us a chance to shape our communities, solve problems for our neighbors, and build something of our own.

As I get closer to college and start thinking about my future, this is what excites me most. Technology may define the era, but people define the outcome. And as long as there are real-world needs that must be met locally, there will always be room — and demand — for entrepreneurs who show up.

The tools will evolve. The apps will change. The algorithms will get smarter. But the basics of life remain the same.

Water has to run. Trash has to be removed. Pets need care.

Homes need maintenance.

Families need support.

Wherever there is a need, there is an opportunity.

And that’s the story I think my generation is ready to write — not one where technology replaces humans, but one where technology empowers more people to build, fix, help, and serve in their own communities.

That’s entrepreneurship on a local level. And it’s always evolving!

FlyLock® Security Solutions: Reinventing a Legacy for the Modern Age How a postwar locksmith evolved into one of America’s most forward-thinking security franchises.

by Dave Sullivan, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company FROM KEYS TO CONNECTIVITY In an age where safety and technology intersect, few franchise brands embody both tradition and transformation quite like FlyLock® Security Solutions.

Formerly known as The Flying Locksmiths, the company’s story begins in 1946 when World War II veteran William McMenimon returned home to Boston with a Jeep, a key machine, and a mission: help people protect what matters most.

That small locksmith shop would become the foundation of a national brand—one that has redefined physical security for the 21st century.

“The tools have changed, but the mission hasn’t,” says the company’s leadership team. “It’s still about trust and service—only now we deliver that through technology.”

A LEGACY OF SERVICE, REINVENTED Today, FlyLock® stands at the cutting edge of commercial security. The company’s

slogan—“If it’s on a door, we handle it”— captures its evolution from traditional locksmithing to full-scale access-control and security integration.

Franchise owners and their teams install and maintain systems that protect hospitals, schools, corporate campuses, and government buildings.

Services range from electrified hardware and automatic doors to keyless entry, mobile credentials, and surveillance cameras.

By adapting to new technologies while maintaining its heritage of reliability, FlyLock® has turned a classic trade into a modern essential.

FlyLock® franchisees operate service-oriented businesses that focus on long-term client relationships rather than one-time retail transactions.

Their customers—property managers, universities, hospitals, and corporations— require ongoing maintenance, creating stability in an uncertain economy.

“FlyLock® shows how a trade built on keys can unlock opportunity in the age of connectivity.”

SYSTEMATIC SUPPORT, LOCAL IMPACT Behind FlyLock®’s success is a franchise system built for real-world execution.

Each franchisee receives comprehensive training in both operations and technology, along with business guidance that covers marketing, sales, and hiring.

Proprietary software manages scheduling, dispatching, and client communications—tools that let owners focus on scaling their business rather than running it manually.

Franchisees come from diverse backgrounds: business managers, veterans, and professionals seeking a purposedriven enterprise. Technical expertise is optional; leadership and organization are not.

BALANCING TRADITION AND TECHNOLOGY In a time when cybersecurity dominates headlines, FlyLock® reminds us that physical security remains

the first line of defense. The company’s blend of legacy craftsmanship and modern tech positions it uniquely within the franchise world.

Whether it’s installing cloud-managed systems or maintaining mechanical door hardware, FlyLock®’s work connects the tangible and the digital—a balance that few competitors can match.

“We’re not just in the security business,” one franchisee explains. “We’re in the trust business.”

SECURING THE FUTURE— ONE DOOR AT A TIME As the brand continues to expand nationwide, FlyLock® Security Solutions has become more than a franchise system.

It’s a network of professionals protecting communities, businesses, and institutions—

one door, one system, and one relationship at a time.

Its evolution is proof that innovation doesn’t have to replace tradition; it can strengthen it. FlyLock® is, quite literally, unlocking the future of security.

The AI-Proof Playbook: 5 Franchise Niches Guaranteed to Survive the Tech Wave 2026 and Beyond

by Jack Tiwari, Business Broker and Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company THE AUTOMATION TSUNAMI The chatter around Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shifted from theoretical innovation to immediate economic threat. In 2025, AI is moving past simple process automation, beginning to commoditize traditionally

safe, whitecollar service tasks like basic content creation, advanced logistics coordination, and detailed market analysis.

This rapid acceleration presents a critical challenge for entrepreneurs and investors: The greatest risk to your portfolio is no longer just poor market performance, but obsolescence. If an algorithm can perform your core business

function faster, cheaper, and 24/7, your investment is on borrowed time.

The smartest business strategy for 2026 and beyond, therefore, is to focus exclusively on sectors that are fundamentally AI-Resistant.

This article outlines The AIProof Playbook—a blueprint for investing in businesses defined by high-touch human necessity, specialized physical skill, and emotional connection. For the strategic investor, franchising provides the perfect structured avenue to diversify across these resilient sectors.

WHAT MAKES A BUSINESS "AI-PROOF"?

THE 3 PILLARS A business is truly AI-proof only if it relies on elements that technology cannot replicate.

Based on market resilience observed in 2025, the most successful franchise sectors anchor themselves in these three pillars: 1. High-Touch/High-Trust Emotional Labor: This includes services where human empathy, hands-on judgment, and personal relationships are the central product. AI can inform patient care, but it cannot deliver the compassion required by a senior care patient or console a grieving pet owner.

2. Specialized Physical

Presence: These are tasks requiring complex manual dexterity, problem-solving in an uncontrolled environment (like a customer’s home), and on-site repair. AI can diagnose a clogged pipe, but it cannot 32

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

A BUSINESS IS TRULY AI-PROOF ONLY IF IT RELIES ON ELEMENTS THAT TECHNOLOGY CANNOT REPLICATE. physically remove a foreign object or repair the structural damage left behind.

3. Local Regulation

& Irreversible Needs: Businesses tied to essential human needs or governed by strict, localized regulation.

Humans need to eat, live in functional homes, and dispose of waste. These localized, physical necessities cannot be outsourced to the cloud.

THE AI-PROOF PLAYBOOK: 5 RESILIENT NICHES Based on these pillars, here are five franchise categories that showed exceptional resilience in 2025 and are best positioned for success through 2026 and beyond: 1. The Essential Home Services Economy The need for functional homes is immutable. This sector is AI-resistant because every physical repair or maintenance task happens in a unique, uncontrolled environment requiring complex troubleshooting and specialized tools. The 2025 trend favored hyperspecialization—franchises focusing on niche services like foundation repair, mold remediation, or specialized tree care—making them difficult for general contractors (or bots) to replace. This category is protected by the Specialized Physical Presence pillar.

2. Senior & Child Care This is the pinnacle of the

High-Touch/High-Trust pillar. While technology assists with scheduling and health monitoring, the core product—compassionate care, emotional support, safety monitoring, and complex decision-making for vulnerable populations— requires human caregivers.

As the demographic shift continues (a theme we explored in the September issue), the demand for localized, human-driven services allowing seniors to "age in place" will only increase, securing its place as an AI-proof necessity.

3. Personal Wellness and Recovery The 2025 market saw an explosion in proactive health services, moving beyond traditional gym models.

Concepts like stretching studios, IV hydration, cryotherapy, and specialized mental wellness centers require direct, hands-on, human-to-human interaction.

Customers are paying a premium for a personal experience and expertise that AI can analyze but never deliver physically. This niche thrives on High-Touch Emotional Labor.

4. The High-Touch Pet Industry The human-animal bond ensures this sector’s resilience.

Pet grooming, specialized training, and boutique daycares are driven by High-

Touch Emotional Labor.

Owners view pets as family and demand hands-on care and emotional rapport that technology cannot provide. The trend toward premiumization means owners are less price-sensitive and more willing to pay for physical, compassionate services.

5. Waste & Environmental Services This sector is protected by massive, localized logistics, heavy equipment operation, and stringent environmental and municipal regulations.

The constant, essential need for waste removal, specialized recycling, and handling hazardous materials cements it under the Local Regulation & Irreversible Needs pillar. These highbarrier-to-entry businesses offer stability and protection from tech disruption due to their inherently physical and regulatory nature.

THE ULTIMATE DEFENSE: DIVERSIFICATION IN 2026 For the modern entrepreneur, the single most critical strategic move for 2026 is business diversification.

Even the most AI-Proof niche can face unexpected disruption (e.g., sudden regulatory changes or a minor technological leap).

The franchise model excels here. It allows you to build a portfolio by efficiently acquiring proven units across

its relentless ascent, the businesses that survive and thrive will be those that double down on the timeless, irreplaceable necessities of human life. The core of your strategic defense lies in the human element—the hightouch compassion, specialized physical presence, and localized expertise that technology cannot replicate. Don't chase the algorithm; invest in the businesses AI simply cannot touch. The future of lasting wealth is inherently human.

multiple AI-resistant sectors— for example, owning a Senior Care franchise (Emotional Pillar) alongside a Plumbing franchise (Physical Pillar) and a Waste Management contract (Regulatory Pillar). This strategy insulates your investment

against localized economic or technological shocks.

THE FUTURE IS HUMAN The true metric of success for 2026 and beyond is not the fastest growth rate, but resilience. As AI continues

Pearce Bespoke:

The Franchise That Suits the Hustler with Taste

by Joe Carter, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company People want convenience.

Personalization. Prestige.

Pearce Bespoke is the first and only mobile custom fashion franchise—and they’re owning the category. Suits start at $1,000. Margins hit a minimum of 60%. And every sale is prepaid, which means franchisees get instant cash flow.

Let that sink in.

You’re selling thousand-dollar suits. With zero inventory. And you get paid up front.

M

ost franchises want your storefront, your payroll, and your weekends.

Pearce Bespoke? They just want your ambition—and your tape measure.

We’re not selling frozen yogurt or fitness memberships here. We’re selling confidence.

Custom-made. Delivered directly to boardrooms, weddings, and cigar lounges.

No inventory, no storefront, no guesswork.

A MOBILE FRANCHISE BUILT FOR A NEW ECONOMY Truth is, fashion hasn’t evolved in decades.

But consumer behavior has.

38

THE ANTI-RETAIL RETAIL BUSINESS This isn’t old-school tailoring.

Pearce flipped the model: • Mobile showrooms (think speakeasy vibes, not strip mall) • Event-based sales (Tier 1: small trunk shows; Tier 2: B2B deals; Tier 3: major expos) • Direct-to-network growth (launch by selling to your friends, family, and sphere) No staff required. No fashion experience needed. They’ll train you in 4–6 weeks, and you’re out the gate.

Even better? You can hire a sales manager to run the show. It’s semi-absentee friendly, meaning you can stay CEO of your life while building a scalable business.

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

SUITS THAT FIT. MARGINS THAT FLEX. Let’s talk product.

• Sport coats: $750 to $1,500+ • Suits & tuxedos: $1,000 to $2,000+ • Trousers, overcoats, dress shirts—all fully custom Franchisees keep a minimum of 60% margin on all items.

That’s real money for real work.

No gimmicks. No junk fees.

And Pearce Bespoke stands behind their product with a Perfect Fit Guarantee—no matter how many alterations it takes.

TARGET MARKET: MEN WHO WANT TO LEVEL UP You’re not chasing fashionistas.

You’re serving the forgotten majority—guys who’ve never owned a custom suit but know they need to step up.

Think: • Bankers • Real estate agents • Entrepreneurs • Lawyers • Pro athletes • Grooms, grads, and guys hitting a new life stage In a world of mass production, custom wins.

Especially when you make it simple.

WHAT’S IT COST TO GET IN? The total investment runs $73K to $120K all-in. Includes: • Franchise fee: $49,500 • Training, trunk kits, tech stack, marketing, and launch support You’ll need $50K liquid and $200K net worth to qualify.

Veterans get a 5% discount on their first territory.

And since there’s no lease, no staff requirements, and no inventory, your break-even timeline moves fast.

WHY I’M BULLISH ON THIS MODEL I’ve sat in rooms with private equity firms and buyers who wouldn’t touch a franchise because the model relied on 30 employees, a 5-year lease, and the owner working 70 hours a week.

Pearce Bespoke is the opposite.

• Low CapEx • High EBITDA • Transferable model Want to build value you can sell? Start with a system that scales without you.

This is the kind of franchise where brand value compounds.

Every event booked. Every customer delighted. Every suit tailored—it all builds equity.

You’re not just selling clothing.

You’re building reputation capital.

And the kicker?

You get to feel good doing it.

Every time a client slips on their first custom jacket and stands two inches taller—you made that moment happen.

If you’re looking for a legacy play with margin, mobility, and style—Pearce Bespoke is worth a serious look.

It’s not for everyone. But for the right owner—sales-minded, people-oriented, hungry to build—this thing prints both revenue and relevance.

Simple? Yes.

Easy? No. Worth it? Absolutely.

The Best of 2025: The Year of Purpose-Driven Franchising How the franchise world is redefining success through mission, impact, and heart

by Joe Griff ith II, Air Force Veteran, Consultant, Retired Fire Lieutenant and Founder of the Bet on a Vet 100 & First Responder Initiative, The Franchise Consulting Company A NEW ERA OF FRANCHISING HAS ARRIVED 2025 will be remembered as the year franchising found its why.

Across America, brands and business owners began to shift focus — from merely building revenue to building impact.

In a year filled with change, one truth emerged stronger than ever: today’s entrepreneurs want more than profit margins. They want purpose. They want to know 42

that the business they invest in strengthens communities, empowers families, and creates meaningful work for others.

From green-tech startups to health and wellness franchises, from veteran-led service brands to first responder entrepreneurs, franchising in 2025 has become a movement of meaningful ownership. The Best of 2025 isn’t just about who grew the fastest — it’s about who grew the right way.

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

FRANCHISING FOR IMPACT, NOT JUST INCOME The numbers tell the story.

Purpose-driven brands have outperformed traditional models, not because of luck, but because of leadership. In every corner of the industry, franchise owners are redefining what success looks like — blending passion with professionalism, and profit with purpose.

Entrepreneurs today are asking new questions before signing a franchise agreement: • Does this brand make a difference?

• Is the culture built on integrity?

• Will I be proud to represent this business in my community?

The Best of 2025 highlights those brands that answered “yes” — companies that don’t just provide services, but solve problems, care for others, and stand for something bigger.

SERVING AGAIN — THIS TIME THROUGH BUSINESS As a veteran and retired firefighter, I’ve witnessed firsthand how those who’ve served our country and communities still crave one thing when they hang up the uniform — a mission.

That mission lives on through franchise ownership.

Through the Bet on a Vet 100 and First Responder Initiative, we’ve helped veterans and first responders receive up to $10,000 in grants toward franchise ownership. Since launching in 2023, this initiative has empowered hundreds of men and women to transition from public service to business ownership — without losing the purpose that drives them.

These aren’t just success stories; they’re legacies in motion. From fitness and restoration brands to home services and emerging green technologies, veterans and first responders are proving that their leadership, discipline, and teamwork are exactly what modern franchising needs.

“Franchising gives our nation’s heroes a new mission,”

I often tell candidates. “They’ve already proven heart and discipline — now they’re using those traits to build generational wealth.”

For many, that mission begins at VeteransFranchise. org, where hundreds of brands are organized by investment level and industry. It’s a free resource — built to serve those who’ve already served us.

INNOVATION MEETS PURPOSE: THE TRENDS DEFINING 2025 If 2025 had a theme, it would be innovation with intention.

The year’s best franchises didn’t chase every shiny new tool — they focused on how technology could enhance both efficiency and humanity.

Here’s what stood out this year: • Technology That Serves People: From AI-driven scheduling systems to mobile apps that simplify customer service, tech is making ownership smarter and easier.

• Eco-Friendly & CleanEnergy Growth: EV charging station networks, solar installations, and water conservation franchises are booming as consumers seek sustainability.

• Health, Wellness & Longevity: America’s obsession with quality of life has fueled rapid expansion in anti-aging clinics, fitness studios, and recovery centers.

• Simplified Ownership

THROUGH THE BET ON A VET 100 AND FIRST RESPONDER INITIATIVE, WE’VE HELPED VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS RECEIVE UP TO $10,000 IN GRANTS TOWARD FRANCHISE OWNERSHIP.

WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM | DECEMBER 2025

43

They’ll measure it by lives changed, communities built, and opportunities created.

Whether it’s a veteran opening his first EV charging station, a firefighter launching a restoration business, or a teacher starting a tutoring center, franchising continues to be America’s greatest pathway to entrepreneurship.

And for those ready to take that step — I’m here to help.

My work as a consultant isn’t about selling franchises; it’s about matching people with a business that fits their values, strengths, and goals.

“The best of 2025 showed us that success doesn’t come from what you own — it comes from what you build in others.”

Models: Semi-absentee and manager-run franchises are attracting career changers and retirees seeking flexibility and stability.

From drone-powered exterior cleaning to mobile med-spa clinics, 2025 reminded us that innovation and empathy can coexist beautifully in franchising.

COMMUNITY OVER COMPETITION Beyond technology and trendlines, the true hallmark of this year’s best franchises was culture. These brands invested in mentorship, training, and relationships that outlast the sale.

Take Window Hero, which continues to champion simplicity and centralized lead generation while expanding nationwide; or Outlaw FitCamp, where fitness 44

meets family and leadership builds from the inside out; or 4EverYoung Anti-Aging Solutions, transforming wellness into lifestyle empowerment.

The thread connecting them all? People first.

Franchising at its best is a partnership — between franchisors, franchisees, consultants, and the communities they serve. The most successful brands this year didn’t compete against each other; they collaborated toward shared goals. That mindset is what’s driving the next era of sustainable growth.

THE FUTURE: PURPOSEDRIVEN GROWTH As we look toward 2026 and beyond, the trajectory is clear. The next generation of franchise leaders won’t measure their success solely by unit counts or EBITDA margins.

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

YOUR BEST STORY AWAITS If you’re reading this and feel that tug — that calling to own something, to build something — listen to it. The Best of 2025 isn’t just a list of top brands; it’s a reflection of what’s possible when heart meets hustle.

Optic-Kleer:

Why It Earns a Place Among the Best Franchises of 2025

by Dustin Helms, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

I

n a year marked by rapid economic shifts, tightening consumer budgets, and the growing influence of automation, only a handful of franchise brands have demonstrated the resilience and long-term viability that define a true “Best of ” contender. Optic-Kleer, an automotive glass repair franchise, stands out as one of 2025’s strongest performers— not only for its business model, but for its strategic positioning in a world where many concepts are becoming obsolete.

OPTIC-KLEER’S FRANCHISEES BENEFIT FROM A DEMAND CYCLE THAT REMAINS STABLE IN DOWNTURNS AND OFTEN INCREASES AS DRIVERS HOLD ONTO THEIR VEHICLES LONGER. 48

RECESSION-PROOF

BY DESIGN Automotive glass repair occupies a rare crossroads of necessity and affordability.

When a windshield chips or cracks, consumers don’t have the luxury of waiting— regardless of the economy.

Optic-Kleer’s franchisees benefit from a demand cycle that remains stable in downturns and often increases as drivers hold onto their vehicles longer. This built-in resilience has helped position the brand as one of the most recession-proof opportunities in the franchising world today.

AI-PROOF AND AMAZON-PROOF In an era when AI is replacing jobs and Amazon is absorbing markets, Optic-Kleer offers

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

something refreshingly secure: a hands-on, onsite service that cannot be automated, outsourced, or delivered by a warehouse.

There is simply no substitute for a trained technician performing real-time repairs where the customer’s vehicle is located. This gives the brand enduring value as technology continues to reshape the f ranchise landscape.

AN AFFORDABLE AUTOMOTIVE FRANCHISE WITHOUT THE USUAL BARRIERS Unlike traditional automotive f ranchises requiring lifts, grease pits, heavy equipment, or expensive real estate, Optic-Kleer brings a

streamlined high ROI brick and mortar model to the industry that is perfect for the business owner that wants to manage a manager.

Franchisees operate with minimal equipment, and low overhead, making it one of the most cost-accessible automotive opportunities available today. Yet, despite the low entry cost, franchisees gain access to a massive, continually replenishing market—windshield damage that occurs daily, everywhere, and in every season.

A BRAND BUILT ON EXPERIENCE AND GLOBAL VISION What truly elevates OpticKleer is the leadership behind it. Eric, the founder, has spent most of his life building and refining the brand— successfully expanding it across two countries. Not many franchise founders can say that. His long-term commitment, operational expertise, and ability to scale across international markets give Optic-Kleer a depth of experience few emerging franchises can match. Under his guidance, the company is poised to grow into a true mega-brand.

FOR ENTREPRENEURS SEEKING STABILITY, GROWTH POTENTIAL, AND A MODEL ENGINEERED TO THRIVE NO MATTER THE ECONOMIC CLIMATE, OPTIC-KLEER IS NOT JUST ONE OF THE BEST FRANCHISES OF 2025 WHY OPTIC-KLEER IS ONE OF THE BEST FRANCHISES OF 2025 Optic-Kleer checks every box that modern franchise investors look for: • Durable, recurring demand • Resistance to automation and e-commerce disruption • Low start-up cost and low overhead • Simple operations with minimal equipment • A proven leader with decades of real-world experience • A scalable model backed by consistent consumer need In a franchise landscape

crowded with trends, technologies, and passing fads, Optic-Kleer stands out for its timeless simplicity and future-proof positioning. For entrepreneurs seeking stability, growth potential, and a model engineered to thrive no matter the economic climate, OpticKleer is not just one of the best franchises of 2025—it may be one of the smartest investments of the decade.

Despite a slow-down of business travel and relocations in 2020, the demand for long term furnished lodging remained consistent. AvenueWest continues to rapidly grow and has doubled its number of franchises nationwide over the last five-years. We plan to double it again over the next three years.

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

hen it comes to children’s enrichment, the landscape is filled with art studios and craft-themed concepts but Crayola® Imagine Arts Academy™ stands in a class of its own. It’s different. Very different. While others focus on paint and play, we use creativity as a gateway to education, helping children explore the world around them through imagination, empathy, and global awareness. That makes this franchise not just fun, but educational,

UNLIKE TRADITIONAL ART STUDIOS THAT RELY ON FAMILIES TO COME TO THEM, CRAYOLA® IMAGINE ARTS ACADEMY™ OPERATES AS AN OUTREACH MODEL - WE GO WHERE THE CUSTOMERS ARE. meaningful and sets us apart in a crowded marketplace.

As we look back on 2025, it is clear this has been a banner year for Crayola® Imagine Arts Academy™.

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

CREATIVITY WITH A MISSION At the heart of Imagine Arts Academy™ is a simple yet powerful belief: creative thinking is world-changing thinking.

Our programs inspire children to imagine a better world and empower them to build it. Through guided art-based exploration, kids learn about global cultures, environmental conservation, wildlife protection, and community impact.

From programs like Wild World, where kids explore the wonders of the animal kingdom, to World of Design, which connects art with innovation and problemsolving, each program is intentionally designed to teach through creativity. This unique blend of education and imagination gives children tools that extend far beyond the classroom - while giving franchise owners a business that’s both meaningful and marketable.

BACKED BY TWO POWERHOUSE BRANDS Few children’s franchises come with the brand strength of Crayola®. Crayola® is a name

families know and trust synonymous with creativity for more than a century. Combine that with the 40 years of franchising success from Mad Science®, and you have instant credibility, a proven business model, and strong operational support from day one.

MULTIPLE REVENUE STREAMS = STABILITY FOR OWNERS And it’s not just a feel-good concept - it’s a financially smart one. Crayola® Imagine Arts Academy™ offers five distinct revenue streams, giving franchise owners multiple

ways to grow and diversify their business throughout the year.

• Afterschool Programs – A consistent need, assisting schools in offering parents a safe, structured, and enriching alternative to screens.

• Birthday Parties – Timeless

AN OUTREACH MODEL THAT MEETS CUSTOMERS WHERE THEY ARE Unlike traditional art studios that rely on families to come to them, Crayola® Imagine Arts Academy™ operates as an outreach model - we go where the customers are. Whether it’s in schools, community centers, libraries, or recreation facilities, our programs are delivered right where children learn and play every day.

This flexibility not only eliminates the need for a brick-and-mortar space, but also allows franchisees to build strong partnerships within their communities. It’s a model that keeps overhead low, accessibility high, and the opportunities endless. When a school or organization needs enrichment - we bring the creativity to their door.

• In-School Workshops – Curriculum-aligned, hands-on programming that schools love because it reinforces learning in a fresh, creative way.

• Camps – High-demand during school breaks and summer, camps keep kids engaged, inspired, and entertained when parents need them most.

• Special Events – Big, crowd-pleasing experiences designed to entertain and inspire - perfect for schools, libraries, community centers, and festivals.

WHY NOW IS THE TIME Today’s schools and parents want more than entertainment - they want enrichment with purpose. Crayola® Imagine Arts Academy™ delivers programs that inspire empathy, creativity, and confidence in kids, all while reinforcing valuable educational concepts.

As schools, parents, and communities continue to embrace the importance of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) education, the need for innovative, creativity-driven learning experiences continues to grow. That’s why Crayola® Imagine Arts Academy™ stands out - and why 2025 has truly been its best year yet.

atrick and Shelley Preslar, a dynamic husband-and-wife team with deep entrepreneurial roots, have officially joined the Pillar To Post™ Home Inspectors network—the largest home inspection franchise in North America. Operating as The Triton Team, their office serves Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and surrounding communities in North Carolina.

For the Preslars, this new venture represents more than a business launch—it is a continuation of a lifelong commitment to service, integrity, and family legacy.

Central to the Triton Team story is Shelley Preslar, a disabled veteran who served in both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps. As a truck driver and heavy-equipment diesel mechanic, Shelley learned early what grit, discipline, and resilience truly mean. Those qualities became the bedrock of her remarkable 30-year career in the Life Sciences industry, where she built and led regulatory-compliant consulting operations across the U.S. and internationally.

Her unmatched expertise in regulatory compliance, operational leadership, and client relations has

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

shaped a career defined by tenacity. Whether serving her country, helping Life Science manufacturers deliver safe and reliable medications to patients, or now helping homeowners gain confidence in one of life’s major investments.

Shelley’s approach has never changed. Joining Pillar To Post, she says, is simply “a continuation of my lifelong commitment to service—this time by ensuring confident homeownership and enhancing the lives of the people and communities we serve.”

Patrick brings a uniquely comprehensive background to the home inspection field.

His career has woven together residential contracting, real estate, appraisals, licensed home inspections, and work as an insurance public adjuster, where he protected homeowners during insurance claims. Most recently, he excelled in talent acquisition, sharpening his ability to connect with people and understand what clients value.

Patrick has performed nearly every function surrounding the home inspection process— experience that now forms the backbone of the Triton Team’s service model. His industry knowledge, paired

with Shelley’s strategic leadership, creates a powerful combination.

“We chose Pillar To Post because of its cutting-edge technology, unwavering customer commitment, and outstanding industry reputation,” Patrick said.

“We’re dedicated to building a business rooted in our core values: serving with integrity, leading with courage, owning our actions, and—most importantly—having fun.”

After years of building successful operations for other companies as well as their own ventures, Patrick and Shelley felt called to create something with lasting impact—something that could eventually be passed down to their children.

Pillar To Post offered the perfect platform.

The franchise’s innovative tools, trusted brand, and commitment to homeowners aligned seamlessly with their personal mission of service and excellence. While Shelley continues her work in the Life Sciences industry, she remains steadfastly involved in shaping and supporting the family’s new enterprise. Patrick, with his extensive field expertise, will lead day-to-day operations.

As the Life Sciences sector continues booming across the Triangle, the Preslars recognize that rapid population growth and new job influx also create rising demand for reliable home inspection services.

“With so many people

SHELLEY AND PATRICK PRESLAR OF THE TRITON TEAM-PILLAR TO POST HOME INSPECTORS moving into the region, we’re excited to bring our skill sets together to enhance homeownership experiences in our community,” Shelley said.

Married for 31 years—after knowing each other only six weeks before wedding, Patrick and Shelley have built every chapter of their lives through teamwork, faith in one another, and unwavering determination. They have collaborated in multiple business endeavors, each time bringing complementary strengths and a shared vision for the future.

Their guiding principles have never changed: Take personal responsibility. Be courageous in everything you do. Put others first. Have fun.

These values now fuel The Triton Team’s approach to serving homeowners, sellers, and real estate professionals throughout Garner, Fuquay

Varina, Clayton, Wilson, Rocky Mount, Burlington, Pittsboro, Selma, Smithfield, Littleton, Henderson, and counties including Granville, Person, Caswell, Warren, Halifax, Nash, and Edgecombe.

As new members of the Pillar To Post network, the Triton Team is poised to make a meaningful impact across the Triangle Area of North Carolina.

Their unmatched blend of military discipline, regulatory expertise, construction knowledge, and client-focused service positions them as one of North Carolina’s most uniquely qualified home inspection teams.

For aspiring entrepreneurs, Patrick offers simple but powerful advice: “Be courageous. Commit to serving others, and you will find fulfillment in your efforts.”

The 2025 WARN Map and Your Future to Be Your Own Boss

by Ron Filian, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

T

he 2025 economic landscape is becoming clearer, and unfortunately, that includes the latest WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) reports. As companies make tough choices leading to significant layoffs, the traditional career path is feeling

increasingly volatile for many talented professionals.

If you've been impacted by a layoff, or simply feel the ground shifting beneath your corporate role, this moment—while challenging—is also a colossal opportunity to redefine your professional destiny. It’s time to move from being an employee subject to external decisions

to being a business owner in control of your own success.

THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SILVER LINING The talent pool created by these market adjustments is precisely what makes now the perfect time to explore a franchise business opportunity.

Leverageable Skills: Years of corporate experience— whether in operations, finance, marketing, or management—are your most valuable assets. A franchise model allows you to immediately leverage these high-level skills, applying them directly to the growth of your own enterprise, not someone else's.

The Desire to Build: You know how to build teams, manage projects, and deliver results. As a franchise owner, you get to build your own team, foster your own culture, and reap the direct rewards of your efforts.

The Power of a Brand: One of the biggest hurdles for new entrepreneurs is building trust and recognition from scratch.

Franchising eliminates this risk by providing you with a reputable business name, a proven operating system, and the immediate credibility needed to secure customers and attract top talent. This robust support system is your 'corporate team' without the corporate politics.

LEVERAGING YOUR RESUME: A BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS Your resume isn't just a document to apply for another job; it's a blueprint of your capabilities. Many professionals transitioning out of corporate roles possess

sophisticated skills that are highly transferable to franchise ownership.

• Operational Efficiency: Did you manage a department budget or streamline a process?

These skills are vital for running the day-to-day operations of a franchise efficiently and profitably.

• Sales and Marketing Acumen: If your background is in driving revenue, you already understand how to identify customer bases, market a value proposition, and close deals—core functions of any successful business owner.

• Leadership & Management: Building a team, mentoring employees, and managing performance reviews are all experiences that directly translate to leading your own staff in a franchise setting.

Instead of seeing your corporate experience as obsolete, recognize its value.

A franchise advisor can help you map these high-level skills directly to franchise opportunities where they provide a distinct competitive advantage.

THE ROLE OF A FRANCHISE BUSINESS ADVISOR Navigating the world of franchising can be overwhelming. There are thousands of brands across hundreds of industries.

This is where a qualified franchise business advisor becomes an indispensable guide. Think of them as your own personal career and business development consultant, working at no cost to you (their fee is paid by the franchisor if you decide to proceed with a brand).

The advisor’s process typically involves: 1. Assessment and Discovery: A thorough exploration of your skills, financial capacity, lifestyle goals, passions, and risk tolerance. This ensures the advisor understands exactly what kind of business owner you aim to be.

2. Education: Demystifying the franchise landscape, explaining terms, and clarifying the legal and financial aspects of business ownership.

3. Matching and Shortlisting: Based on your profile, area demographics and your financial capabilities the advisor curates a shortlist of potential franchise brands that align with your unique criteria. This saves you countless hours of research.

4. Guided Due Diligence: The advisor acts as a project manager for your investigation. They facilitate introductions to franchisor representatives and guide you through the critical step of "validation"—speaking

FINDING THE RIGHT MATCH: Beyond the Logo Finding the "right match" is more than just liking the product or service a franchise offers.

Mission and Culture Match: Do you believe in the company’s mission?

Is the corporate culture something you can thrive within? You will be signing a 5 to 10-year agreement; cultural fit is paramount to long-term satisfaction.

Market Viability: Is there a sustainable demand for the product or service in your desired geographical location? A good advisor helps you analyze market data to run a void analysis so the business has a strong chance of success locally.

Quality of Support: A robust support system (training, marketing, operational support) is the hallmark of a great franchise.

Validation calls with existing owners will confirm the quality of this support structure.

Take Control: Become a Franchise Business Owner Don't let the 2025 WARN map define

your year. Instead, let it be the catalyst for launching your next great chapter.

Becoming a franchise business owner means to you: Gain Autonomy: Control your schedule, your strategy, and your income potential.

Mitigate Risk: Start with a tested model and comprehensive training/ support.

Build Equity: Work toward building a valuable asset that you can sell or pass down.

By working through these steps with a trusted franchise advisor, you move from simply "buying a job" to carefully selecting a sustainable business model that utilizes your existing skills to build true generational wealth and autonomy.

Hold Fast Golf Carts

The Mobile Franchise That’s Reshaping the Golf Industry One Grip at a Time

by Lane Klastow, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

I

n a sport built on precision, confidence, and feel, golf grips have always been the most overlooked piece of equipment in the bag. They are the only thing a golfer physically touches before every swing, yet for decades, the process of replacing them has been slow, inconvenient, and outdated.

Until now.

Introducing Hold Fast Golf Grips, the number one emerging golf grip franchise in America and the first fully mobile regrip service in the country. Veteran-owned, bold in its branding, and revolutionary in its execution, Hold Fast has become the most exciting new business to hit the golf world in years. And according to early adopters, it’s not just a franchise. It’s the future.

THE BIRTH OF A DISRUPTOR Every breakthrough brand begins with someone who

sees what others don’t.

For Hold Fast Golf Grips, that someone is Jon, a lifelong golfer, competitor, and innovator.

He knew the truth: golfers hate replacing grips.

It’s slow.

It’s messy.

It takes days.

And worst of all the results are inconsistent.

Pro shops make golfers leave their clubs overnight, often for 24 to 72 hours. If the size or feel is off, tough luck. You’re stuck with it.

Jon realized there was a massive gap in the industry. A gap big enough for a franchise model that would rewrite the rules.

So, he built the solution from the ground up.

A MOBILE SERVICE THAT FIXES EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THE OLD WAY Hold Fast Golf Grips is simple: golf grip replacement brought directly to the golfer, at the course, at home, or at work.

The Hold Fast mobile unit arrives fully equipped with prograde tools, custom inventory, and a regrip system so refined that it feels like magic.

• Grips installed in under 60 seconds per club • No drying time — ready to play instantly • On-site service at the actual course • Custom grip sizing, feel, and fit This isn’t a minor improvement.

This is a transformation.

For the first time ever, golfers can replace their grips, walk straight to the range, and hit shots to ensure the sizing is perfect. If they want it thicker, thinner, firmer, or softer, it’s adjusted on the spot.

The old way took days.

The Hold Fast way takes minutes.

And in an industry where golfers spend freely on anything that gives them an edge, this brand hit the bullseye.

WITH NO EMPLOYEES, NO BUILDOUT, AND EXTREMELY LOW OVERHEAD, HOLD FAST IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST LIFESTYLE-BUSINESS FRANCHISES ON THE MARKET AND ONE OF THE FASTEST TO BREAK EVEN. 72

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

GOLFERS ARE ALREADY OBSESSED! AND FOR GOOD REASON. Golfers are some of the most loyal, passionate, and yes the wealthiest sports consumers in the world.

Golf is recession resistant, powered by a demographic with disposable income and an unending desire to improve.

There are two things’ golfers spend money on without hesitation: 1. Anything that saves time, and 2. Anything that helps them play better.

Hold Fast gives them both in one service.

And because grips wear down every 30 to 40 rounds, demand never slows. Every golfer becomes a recurring customer, every course becomes a referral source, and every franchisee becomes an indispensable part of the golf community.

THE FRANCHISE BEHIND THE FRENZY Hold Fast is now ranked among the top emerging golf franchises in the United States not because it has competition, but because it doesn’t.

It is the only mobile regrip franchise in America.

Its territories are large.

Its model is lean.

The investment is accessible.

And the returns are extraordinary.

Each franchise includes: • A fully wrapped mobile unit • A complete professional regrip kit • First inventory package • Comprehensive onboarding • Field training • Ongoing marketing support • A brand with unmatched momentum A single truck can generate over $200,000+ per year, and many franchisees quickly scale into multiple units. With no employees, no buildout, and extremely low overhead, Hold Fast is one of the strongest lifestyle-business franchises on the market and one of the fastest to break even.

HIGH DEMAND, LIMITED TERRITORY — A PERFECT STORM Because Hold Fast owns such a unique niche, territory demand is exploding.

Large territories mean fewer openings.

Fewer openings mean faster sellouts.

And with golf participation at all-time highs, investors are racing to secure the best regions before they’re gone.

If you’ve ever wanted a business that: Runs with one person Earns from day one Operates in a recessionproof sport Serves wealthy, passionate customers

Owns a category with zero competition Has national scalability …then Hold Fast Golf Grips is the franchise to beat.

THE FUTURE OF GOLF GRIP FITTING IS HERE For decades, golfers had only one option for grip replacement and it is slow, inconvenient, and inconsistent shop work.

Hold Fast rewrote the rulebook.

Now grips are replaced: • Faster • Better • On-site • Fully customized • With immediate playability This brand isn’t just improving the experience.

It’s reshaping it.

Hold Fast Golf Grips is building a national footprint, one course at a time, and rewriting the expectations of golfers across the country. As an emerging franchise, it is positioned to become a household name in a $100B+ industry and this is just the beginning.

Golf will never look at grips the same way again.

It’s a business that balances artistic expression with financial opportunity, offering the best of both worlds to those who dream of turning their love for art into a rewarding career. Founder Terri Lalonde’s journey is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance.

Franchisees become part of a growing network of creative professionals who share best practices and inspire each other to

innovate. Every workshop is designed not only to teach art techniques but also to encourage participants to explore their creativity and build confidence through self-expression.

igfoot Forestry, LLC, a land management and forestry mulching company based in South Carolina, celebrates its fifth anniversary. The milestone recognizes half a decade of reliable service to homeowners and landowners and honors a team-built approach that blends practical fieldwork with a customer-centered culture.

Founded in 2020, Bigfoot Forestry emerged during a time of global uncertainty, as the COVID-19 pandemic prompted homeowners to reimagine and invest in their outdoor spaces. While many businesses faced disruption, Bigfoot Forestry found clarity in purpose. "People realized that no matter what happens,

80

they'll always have their homes, their families. That's the foundation of our culture. We focused on helping families reclaim their outdoor spaces, not just for aesthetics, but for connection," founder Benjamin Bartnikowski shares.

The business focused initially on residential projects, transforming overgrown lots into safe, usable yards for family gatherings, play areas, and modest landscape features.

That practical, customer-first beginning started with a single machine and one crew and has evolved into a dynamic enterprise with a growing fleet and expanding reach.

Bigfoot Forestry now serves a diverse range of communities, from inland neighborhoods to coastal regions, reflecting its commitment to accessible, thoughtful land management.

The firm's work spans forestry mulching and brush

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

removal, stump grinding, land clearing, excavation and grading, demolition and yard cleanups, drainage solutions, and specialized trail clearing for geological testing and site access. Bigfoot Forestry favors mulching methods that manage vegetation in place, minimize waste, and reduce hauling, while remaining equipped to perform heavier excavation and grading when projects require it. To support this range, the company invests in top-tier equipment so crews can complete jobs efficiently and leave sites tidy.

A defining operational challenge was earning reliability in a sector where expectations varied. Bigfoot Forestry framed the obstacle as resetting what customers could expect: prompt callbacks, punctual arrival, and clean, complete work. "We knew early on that consistency would set

us apart. That's not flashy, but it builds trust. Integrity guides every job we take and every schedule we set. We also treat our clients like neighbors, not transactions. That mindset helped us stay steady through some unpredictable years," Bartnikowski says.

That emphasis on process and performance laid the groundwork for franchising.

Bigfoot Forestry now offers a turnkey franchise package.

Machines are delivered on trailers with attachments, a proprietary operating system, in-house onboarding and ongoing training, and a centralized digital platform that consolidates leads, client records, and marketing.

"We're happy to share that we've recently welcomed our first franchise partners, including operators near Charlotte, North Carolina, and in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

A campaign has generated substantial interest, and additional openings are progressing in markets such as Texas and Tennessee," Bartnikowski shares.

For five years, Bigfoot Forestry has transformed overgrown land into functional spaces, restoring yards, improving access, and strengthening communities. Homeowners enjoy peace of mind, developers gain reliable access, and franchise owners drive local investment. As the company celebrates this milestone, it remains focused on expanding services and supporting new franchises while staying true to its founding values of family, integrity, and respect.

MORE ABOUT BIGFOOT FORESTRY Bigfoot Forestry was started solely on relationships and taking care of one another. The team prides themselves on being a “relationship company” that performs land management services. Based on these values Ben’s vision is to take the Bigfoot Forestry Brand across the country to give others an opportunity to the freedom of owning their own business. By facilitating the expectations of all customers with a moral and ethical direction, Ben hopes to start changing the compass of all industry standards.

The Value of Outsourcing Bookkeeping & Payroll Services for a Franchise

by Jim Kokenge, Founder, Bookwerks

B

uying a franchise is a major investment for both the buyer and the franchisor. The new franchisee is investing a substantial chunk of money, whether it comes from excess cash or their life savings, they’re making a significant commitment to the franchisor

84

and its brand.

Everyone wants new owners to succeed, and the first year in business is the most critical hurdle to make that happen.

A franchisor once told me that he tells new owners they must do four things right, right out of the box: First they need to “hire the right

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

people”, then they need to “sell-sell-sell” to get up and running successfully in that challenging first year. Makes sense!

However, what if that new owner asks what they should handle bookkeeping and payroll? These are “nonrevenue generating” tasks that most owners aren’t well versed in and shouldn’t waste their limited time, talent, and resources in addressing.

Many franchisors will simply reply, “find someone to handle it for you”, what we call the “Uncle Bob” method.

A recent trend in franchise bookkeeping is for franchisors to mandate new owners to use a specified bookkeeping firm and a payroll provider for the first 12 months. This creates two major benefits: First, the new owner can stay focused on growing the business while having their monthly results delivered to them in an affordable and timely manner, so they will know how well they are

performing. The second benefit is to the franchisor who also wants to see how the franchisee’s performing without having to chase after them each month for the results.

Using a preset Chart-ofAccounts, all the franchisees’ reports will be consistent.

With this accumulated data, a bookkeeping firm like BookWerks™ can run various customized reports for the franchisor so they can measure the average overall performance of their franchisees.

Knowing average costs of

such expenses as occupancy, labor, advertising etc. helps a franchisor understand expenditures levels new owners should be targeting.

We know the first year is critical to the long-term success of the franchisee.

Under a franchise wide bookkeeping program, the franchisor can receive monthly

reports to study specific numbers such as royalties owed, franchise fees and other critical data.

After the initial training and launch of the new franchise, mandating a specified bookkeeping firm like BookWerks™ provides a winwin for both the franchisor and their franchisees.

Leaving High Level Corporate World Behind Couple Launches Floor Coverings International Temecula Valley Flooring ®

by Rhonda Sanderson, CEO, Sanderson & Associates

J

eremy and Tricia Steiding talked for years about building something of their own rooted in community service, and the kind of customer experience they always felt was missing in home improvement. This year, they made that dream real.

The couple has opened Floor Coverings International® of Temecula Valley, bringing a fresh and much-needed approach to flooring right to the doorsteps of homeowners in Temecula, Escondido, Fallbrook, Bonsall, and Murrieta in California.

FCI’s arrival introduces one especially game-changing feature: the Mobile Flooring Showroom™. Instead of spending weekends hauling samples between stores, homeowners can now explore more than 3,000 flooring options from the comfort of their own living rooms. Seeing samples next to existing décor and lighting has transformed the buying process, making decisions easier, faster, and more accurate. It has, quite literally, revolutionized how people shop for floors.

Behind this new venture is 88

a powerhouse partnership.

Jeremy, 52, has over a decade of medical device sales experience, three years in pharmaceutical sales, and earlier work in real estate and the golf industry. His entire career has been grounded in relationship-building, listening between the lines, helping customers clarify what they really need, and guiding them toward the best solution. That instinct translates seamlessly

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

into flooring, where every home has a story and every homeowner has a vision.

Tricia complements him with a career steeped in program management for software and business process projects, as well as years leading operations and project management for large, customized leadership development and coaching programs. She’s skilled at connecting people, processes,

and technology to create seamless experiences. For FCI customers, that means a level of organization, communication, and followthrough that makes flooring projects feel manageable—and even enjoyable.

Their journey to FCI wasn’t sudden; it was intentional. For a long time, they searched for a business that aligned with their values and allowed them to work directly with their community. When they discovered Floor Coverings International, something clicked. The people, the support system, the shared values, and the proven business model stood out.

They recognized a fragmented market where homeowners often feel overwhelmed or underserved, and they saw a chance to change that.

As consumers themselves, they knew the difference a truly high-quality, personal experience could make.

Both Jeremy and Tricia come from corporate backgrounds, and they’ve lived through the less-than-stellar sides of home improvement. Missed calls, rushed appointments, confusing timelines—they’ve been there. Their mission now is to fill that gap by offering the kind of experience they always

wished they’d had personal, thoughtful, transparent, and rooted in genuine care.

As they introduce FCI to the region, they’re also tapping into major industry trends. Petand kid-friendly floors continue to be top choices, offering the look of natural wood with the easy cleanup families love.

Sustainable laminate flooring made from recycled wood fibers is gaining traction as homeowners seek eco-friendly alternatives. Authentic-looking wood visuals, whether in laminate, vinyl, or engineered hardwood—remain in high demand. Waterproof options are hotter than ever, especially with unpredictable weather becoming the new normal.

Vinyl flooring has evolved to offer incredibly realistic wood and stone appearances, and for those who still crave the warmth of carpet, today’s textured and patterned options provide cozy, modern alternatives to the shag of past decades. For pure luxury, engineered hardwood remains a standout, offering true wood veneers with remarkable detail and durability.

With their blend of professional expertise, community-driven values, and a shared passion for elevating the homeimprovement experience,

Jeremy and Tricia are setting the stage for something special in Temecula Valley.

Floor Coverings International isn’t just a new business— it’s the beginning of a new chapter for local homeowners who want quality, convenience, and the personal touch they deserve.

Ask the RESULTS Guy : ™

Are You Leveraging the Power of Strategic Partnerships?

by Tony Jeary, The RESULTS Guy™

W

e just got back from Success Mortgage Partners’ (SMP) 13th annual sales conference, and it reminded me of exactly why strategic partnerships matter so much. SMP is a prime example—our values align, we execute with excellence, and we’ve built a relationship that multiplies value for everyone involved. That’s what real partnership looks like, and it inspired this article.

Strategic partnerships are one of the most overlooked accelerators in business.

Done right, they save time,

92

reduce friction, and open doors faster than going it alone. I recently finished SMP co-founder Owen Lee’s new book, Powerful Partnerships, and it reaffirmed what I’ve seen time and again: when partners are intentional and aligned, extraordinary things happen.

Whether you're a franchisor looking to support your system, a franchisee looking to expand your reach, or a consultant advising both, strategic partnerships are critical to sustainable growth. These aren’t just nice-to-have relationships—they’re Force Multipliers.

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

Q: TONY, HOW DO YOU DEFINE A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP? It’s more than collaboration.

A strategic partnership means both parties are aligned on purpose, values, and outcomes.

It’s not transactional— it’s transformational.

You're not just working together, you're building something bigger than either side could do alone.

When you’re strategic, every move is made with Clarity, Focus, and Execution.

You define expectations early, share resources intelligently, and commit to making each other better. That’s what SMP has done with us, and it’s why the relationship continues to thrive.

Q: WHAT MAKES A PARTNERSHIP “STRATEGIC” VERSUS JUST “CONVENIENT”?

Convenience is about proximity. Strategy is about purpose. In a strategic partnership, you’re intentionally combining

strengths, filling gaps, and growing faster together than you could independently.

For a franchisor, this might look like partnering with vendors who understand the brand and can scale alongside you.

For a franchisee, it could mean aligning with local business owners who enhance customer reach. Consultants should be asking: “Where are the synergy points that can unlock more value?”

You ask: Where do we complement each other?

Where do we align on values?

How can we create a win for all stakeholders? That kind of thinking builds partnerships that last and scale.

Q: WHAT’S YOUR FRAMEWORK FOR BUILDING STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS THAT ACTUALLY WORK? It starts with Clarity, Focus, and Execution. Be crystal clear on the “why” behind the partnership. Focus on who brings what to the table, your “Unique Contribution.” Then execute with discipline and consistency.

You also need to align expectations upfront. How will decisions be made, how will wins be measured, and how will each side stay accountable?

The more intentional you are early on, the more trust you build over time.

For franchise systems, this alignment is crucial when bringing on strategic suppliers, regional support partners,

or marketing firms. These relationships impact the brand across multiple locations, so precision matters.

Q: WHAT’S ONE MISTAKE PEOPLE MAKE WHEN PURSUING PARTNERSHIPS? They don’t think long-term.

They chase short-term gain instead of building foundational alignment. Or they enter into agreements without truly knowing the other party’s values and vision.

That’s where things fall apart.

In our book Strategic Partnerships, we emphasize the need to consider all stakeholders. If a partnership doesn’t serve franchisees, customers, teams, leadership, and even the families involved, it’s probably not built to last.

Q: WHAT SHOULD LEADERS BE ASKING THEMSELVES RIGHT NOW? Who are you partnering with—and why? Are your current relationships creating exponential results, or are they just maintaining the status quo? Are you leveraging each other’s strengths to create new possibilities, or just sharing the workload?

Great partnerships don’t just add value—they multiply it. And when done right, everyone wins.

Strategic partnering is a choice. It’s a mindset and a method. Companies like SMP remind us what’s possible when partners are fully

aligned and committed to helping each other win.

If you want to expand your reach, strengthen your execution, and grow faster, you don’t need to go it alone. You just need the right partners and a strategic approach to making the most of them.

Beyond Home Care:

Perfect Care Match Elevates Senior Care Franchising with Integrated Geriatric Care Management

by Leah Doroch, CDP, HP, CHT, CADDCT, Founder and CEO, of Perfect Care Match

T

he senior care marketplace is evolving rapidly.

Entrepreneurs who want to make a lasting impact while building sustainable businesses need more than a traditional home care model. Perfect Care Match (PCMatch), already a trusted leader in holistic home care, is setting a new benchmark by expanding its franchise through a specialized Geriatric Care Management service line that strengthens both client outcomes and franchise opportunity.

INDUSTRY DYNAMICS AND THE NEXT GENERATION OF CARE As thousands of Americans turn 65 each day, the demand for comprehensive senior care is rising. Perfect Care Match is meeting this need by expanding its proven holistic care model to include professional Geriatric Care Management.

Built on matched caregivers, live-in care, and wellnessfocused support, PCMatch now guides families through

96

complex health and life challenges with coordinated, expert oversight.

WHAT IS GERIATRIC CARE MANAGEMENT Geriatric Care Management helps families navigate the growing complexity of aging care. It provides professional guidance, coordination, and advocacy to ensure seniors receive the right care at the right time.

Through this program, families gain access to a dedicated Geriatric Care Manager who assists with: • Crisis situations such as hospitalizations, infections, or falls • Managing medical appointments and medications • Addressing family disagreements over care decisions • Ensuring safety and independence at home • Identifying appropriate levels of care or housing Care Managers coordinate with providers, caregivers, and community resources to ensure seamless communication and

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

consistent care. Continuous monitoring keeps each plan responsive and focused on stability, safety, and quality of life. The program also offers expertise in chronic disease management, dementia and Alzheimer’s care, and family education. For families at a distance, virtual consultations provide direct professional support from anywhere. This proactive approach transforms reactive caregiving into a coordinated care system.

FROM HOME CARE TO COMPREHENSIVE CARE MANAGEMENT The Geriatric Care Management service line moves beyond traditional home care by integrating professional oversight, health navigation, and family communication into every plan. The program’s focus on prevention and advocacy ensures seniors receive not only hands-on support but also structured, proactive care that promotes independence and long-term wellbeing.

STRATEGIC FRANCHISE GROWTH THROUGH SERVICE-LINE EXPANSION For franchise owners, this expansion delivers meaningful advantages.

It differentiates PCMatch from competitors and builds strong referral channels with hospitals, physicians, and senior resource organizations.

The new service line adds high-value revenue streams, diversifies client intake, and aligns franchisees with healthcare professionals seeking trusted partners outside institutional settings.

Rather than competing in the crowded hourly care market, franchisees become comprehensive care providers addressing a full continuum of needs.

This creates deeper partnerships, stronger trust, and long-term client relationships.

THE PERFECT CARE MATCH ADVANTAGE Perfect Care Match’s leadership brings decades of experience across assisted living, home care, skilled nursing,

and memory care. This foundation has produced a model that delivers exceptional results for clients while giving franchisees a proven path to success.

The Perfect Care Match Advantage includes: • A personality-matched caregiver system that builds lasting relationships and improves retention • A holistic wellness focus emphasizing nourishment, movement, and social engagement • Structured care management that ensures quality and consistency • A model designed to meet physical, emotional, and social needs HOLISTIC CARE: THE HEART OF THE PERFECT CARE MATCH MODEL Holistic care remains central to the PCMatch mission.

The company focuses on nourishing the mind, body, and spirit rather than limiting care to physical tasks. This includes proper nutrition, consistent movement, emotional connection, and

genuine social interaction.

Many families rely on adult children to coordinate care for aging parents, making this holistic approach especially relevant to their concerns about safety, connection, and quality of life. By combining holistic care with Geriatric Care Management, Perfect Care Match delivers an unmatched blend of compassion and professional oversight that resonates deeply with families seeking peace of mind.

WHY FRANCHISEES SHOULD PAY ATTENTION NOW The aging-in-place trend remains strong, with nearly 90 percent of older adults preferring

WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM | DECEMBER 2025

97

to remain at home and 85 percent of adult children supporting that choice.

Geriatric Care Management enables franchisees to meet this demand more comprehensively while expanding their business opportunities.

Traditional home care providers face tighter margins, higher turnover, and limited differentiation.

PCMatch franchisees benefit from a model that builds stronger referral relationships, attracts higher-value clients, and ensures longterm sustainability through comprehensive care solutions.

THE FUTURE OF FRANCHISING IN SENIOR CARE The home care industry is

98

changing, and families now expect more than basic caregiving.

Perfect Care Match’s integration of Geriatric Care Management into its holistic franchise model represents the next evolution in senior care. By combining compassionate caregiving, wellness expertise, and professional coordination, the company is setting a new standard for homebased support.

For entrepreneurs seeking to enter or expand within the senior care sector, Perfect Care Match offers a distinctive franchise opportunity supported by proven systems, comprehensive

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

training, and an innovative model positioned to lead the future of holistic home care.

Best of 2025: Top Zors of 2025

The brands that got it right this year and the people behind them.

E

very year, new franchise brands make their mark. But in 2025, it’s not the flashiest concepts or the biggest ad budgets that are standing out.

The brands built with purpose, strong brand standards, support and people-first leadership – are building communities.

At Limitless Franchise Growth (LFG), we’re lucky to work with founders who lead that way.

Growing and expanding but doing it well. Below are a few of the brands setting the tone for what strong, sustainable franchising looks like in 2025.

ALL DOGS UNLEASHED Category: Pet Services The team at All Dogs Unleashed has taken

102

something simple – dog training and has created a transformative method on how dogs and owners connect. Their signature 2-Week Board & Train Program delivers measurable, lifechanging results, giving dogs new skills and owners lasting peace of mind.

For franchise owners, it’s a rare opportunity: a proven, high-ticket program with compelling unit economics that scales without the headaches of traditional pet businesses. But the impact goes beyond revenue.

Owners become part of their communities, building relationships that extend far beyond the training room.

The U.S. pet industry

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

continues to boom, topping $136 billion last year (American Pet Products Association, 2023), and All Dogs Unleashed is helping franchise owners capture that growth while making a tangible difference in their community.

JETSET PILATES Category: Boutique Fitness JETSET is the modern Pilates concept everyone’s been waiting for. Sleek, high-energy, and grounded in results. With studios opening from San Diego to Washington DC, it’s clear the brand has struck the right chord: beautiful design, a connected community, and a repeatable model that works.

In a booming Pilates market, JETSET stands out and is

rooted in community.

The brand has surpassed 230 studios open or in development nationwide, reinforcing its position as a premier name in Pilates and boutique fitness.

FUNDRAISING UNIVERSITY Category: Youth Sports / Service-Based If there’s a franchise that defines “impact meets simplicity,” it’s this one.

Fundraising University helps schools and teams raise the money they need and they’ve already done it to the tune of $200+ million.

With schools and teams under mounting pressure to fill budget gaps - one recent study found that 26.5% of all U.S. fundraising requests came from K-12 schools (We Raise Together, 2025) Fundraising University’s model

addresses a real, widespread need.

With a sub-$85K investment, no employees, no buildout, and no marketing needed, it’s one of the most accessible business models in franchising. But what really drives it is heart. Franchise owners love what they do, and it shows.

PROJECT LEANNATION Category: Health & Nutrition Project LeanNation (PLN) takes healthy living out of theory and into real life. Its hybrid model: retail storefront meets meal prep subscription - gives owners multiple ways to win. But more than that, PLN builds accountability and community around health in a way that sticks.

It’s a brand that’s real and effective and that’s what keeps customers coming back.

With roughly 76% of sales coming from recurring meal subscriptions, PLN delivers both steady income and lasting impact for franchisees.

(See Project LeanNation FDD Item 19, 2025).

WHAT STANDS OUT TO LFG Before a brand ever joins the LFG portfolio, it goes through a thoughtful vetting process. One centered on people, performance, and purpose – referencing our ethos Great Brands, Great People, Great Culture.

“At Limitless Franchise Growth, we look for brands that have a strong foundation—meaning they’ve proven their concept, have clear unitlevel economics, and deliver a product or service that’s truly differentiated in the marketplace. Beyond financial performance, we place a lot of emphasis on leadership. We want to partner with founders and executive teams who are coachable, missiondriven, and committed to supporting franchisees long-term.

We also look for concepts that align with today’s consumer and aren't considered a trend or fad…businesses that are scalable, provide recurring revenue opportunities, and allow franchise owners to make an impact in their communities. Our goal isn’t just to grow unit counts; it’s

to build sustainable franchise systems with real brand equity and a culture of support.”

— Lance Freeman, CEO of LFG WHY THESE BRANDS ARE AT THE TOP According to the International Franchise Association’s 2025 Economic Outlook, the fastest-growing segments in franchising are personal services (~4.3%) and retail food, products & services (~3.5%). It’s no coincidence these are exactly the spaces where LFG brands thrive.

From All Dogs Unleashed’s hands-on service model to JETSET’s elevated fitness experience, Fundraising University’s school-based programs, and Project

LeanNation’s retail-meetsnutrition approach. Every brand in this group operates where purpose meets demand.

This circles back to scalable models that align with the strongest growth sectors in franchising.

WHAT DEFINES THE BEST OF 2025 When you look at what’s working across these systems, a few themes rise to the top: • Simplicity and scalability - No unnecessary layers, strong systems and clear paths to success.

• Authentic leadership - Real people, invested in every owner’s journey.

• Culture that carries -

From leadership to local markets, these brands attract good people who care about what they do.

That’s what franchising needs more of. And it’s what LFG looks for in every partnership we take on.

At LFG, we don’t chase volume. We focus on working with great people and great brands — helping them scale the right way. Our portfolio of emerging and established franchisors represents what’s best about this business: strong models, real relationships, and a long view of growth.

Butterfly Home Care:

The Heart of Compassionate Care and the Future of a Growing Industry

by Becky Wang, Founder, Butterfly Home Care

I

n an era when families are searching for trustworthy, dignified, and compassionate care for their loved ones, Butterfly Home Care is emerging as one of the most inspiring new brands in the home care industry. Built on a foundation of personal experience, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to quality, Butterfly Home Care represents the best of what modern home care can—and should—be.

At the core of Butterfly Home Care is a powerful personal story. Before becoming a founder, I was a mother learning to navigate caregiving in the most intimate way: through supporting my son with disabilities. Those years taught me what true care feels like—not just the tasks, but the emotional presence, patience, and advocacy families desperately need.

Later, after working and living

among seniors and caregivers, I saw the gaps in the industry: caregivers exhausted and undervalued, families overwhelmed, and individuals with disabilities longing for independence and dignity.

Butterfly Home Care was built as an answer to these challenges.

Today, Butterfly Home Care focuses on seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those with autism. But our mission reaches deeper than services—we aim to transform the entire caregiving experience for families, clients, and the dedicated caregivers we proudly call our team.

A STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE ROOTED IN REAL CARE What makes Butterfly Home Care stand out among home care brands is our commitment to individualized, whole-person support. We believe that care is not a checklist—it is a relationship.

Every care plan is carefully tailored to honor each client’s personal history, preferences, daily routines, cultural background, and goals. Our caregivers are trained to understand not just what to do, but why it matters.

108

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

Seniors deserve to live with joy, autonomy, and support that respects their dignity.

Individuals with disabilities deserve opportunities to grow, learn, and build independence in meaningful ways. Families deserve transparency, communication, and relief.

Butterfly Home Care delivers all three with excellence.

Our clients often tell us that our caregivers feel like family.

That is the greatest compliment we can receive—and evidence that our mission is working.

A FRANCHISE MODEL DESIGNED FOR SUCCESS AND IMPACT As one of the most exciting new home care franchises, Butterfly Home Care is committed to empowering franchise partners to build a thriving business and make a meaningful difference in their communities. What sets us apart is how much support we provide from day one: personalized coaching, franchise development guidance, operational systems, marketing support, and business mentoring rooted in years of industry experience.

We understand that most franchise owners are passionate about helping others but may not have prior experience in caregiving or health services.

That’s why our training is robust, hands-on, and continuous.

From state licensing to hiring caregivers, from local marketing to building community relationships, we walk with our franchisees every step of the way.

Butterfly Home Care also embraces modern innovation. We incorporate AI-

enhanced tools to streamline scheduling, documentation, communication, and administrative work—making it easier for franchisees to focus on what matters most: delivering high-quality care and growing their business.

Our goal is simple: to help franchisees succeed financially while becoming pillars of trust and compassion in their local communities.

A GROWING NEED—AND A GROWING MOVEMENT The demand for home care is skyrocketing. America’s senior population is growing faster than ever before. More individuals with disabilities are seeking communitybased services that empower independence. Families want care that fits their lifestyles, cultural values, and long-term needs.

Butterfly Home Care is uniquely positioned to serve this growing demand, not just through services, but through a philosophy rooted in empathy, respect, and empowerment.

Our approach honors every individual’s journey—whether an 85-year-old grandmother who wants to continue gardening in her backyard, or a young adult with autism learning life skills and building confidence. These stories are at the heart of our work.

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT: SMALL MOMENTS, BIG IMPACT We chose the butterfly as our symbol because caregiving changes lives in the same gentle, powerful way a butterfly’s wings can shift

the air. A caregiver helping a senior walk outside again… a PCA guiding a young man toward greater independence… a family finally breathing with relief knowing their loved one is supported—these are the moments that define us.

Butterfly Home Care is more than a company. It is a movement to restore dignity to caregiving, to uplift families, and to build stronger communities through compassion-driven service.

LOOKING AHEAD As we expand our franchise family across the country, we are seeking passionate individuals who want to lead with heart, serve their communities, and join a brand committed to excellence.

Butterfly Home Care is ready to welcome those who believe in making the world better—one home, one family, one caregiver, one client at a time.

Because when we care with compassion, we create transformation.

And that is the very best of home care.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Becky Wang is the founder of Butterfly Home Care, a fast-growing home care franchise designed to help entrepreneurs build meaningful, community-focused businesses.

With a background shaped by personal caregiving experiences, she champions compassionate service and innovative support for franchise partners.

Inside the FranRealCo RE System How Franchisors Turn Site Chaos into Predictable Openings Powered by FranRealCo with Laurex Realty Advisors Inside the System

by Alex Johnson, Laurex Group, Inc, FranRealCo local partner FRANCHISE GROWTH WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK Most brands award franchises faster than they can open them. Discovery Days go well, candidates sign, and then timelines break down — inconsistent site filters, unclear zoning, unexpected MEP conditions, and delayed build-outs. These failures slow validation, disrupt Item 19 consistency, and weaken royalty growth.

The FranRealCo RE System, delivers your problems to licensed realtors who are market experts throughout the USA and replaces that unpredictability with a franchisor-centric realestate model. The system aligns with your FDD, protects unitlevel economics, and creates a reliable path from site strategy to grand opening. FranRealCo doesn’t sell addresses — it derisks openings.

THE FIVE PHASES THAT DERISK EVERY OPENING 1 · Brand Intake (Weeks 1–2) Your prototype and FDD become measurable filters: square footage, clear height, parking ratios, utility requirements, traffic patterns, and investment bands tied to Items 5–7.

All filters are anchored to 112

Item 19 performance ranges so franchisees start with real-estate options aligned to your brand’s economic expectations — before a tour is scheduled.

“BEFORE WORKING WITH ALEX FROM LAUREX, ZONING WAS OVERWHELMING. HE ASKED THE RIGHT QUESTIONS, SIMPLIFIED THE PROCESS, AND GAVE ME THE CLARITY I NEEDED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH CONFIDENCE.” — Stan Guzik, Resting Rainbow – Chicago South

DECEMBER 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

2 · Trade-Area Prioritization (Weeks 2–4) Markets are ranked using demographics, employment density, lifestyle segmentation, daytime population, spending capacity, and access mapping.

Each trade area receives: • Demand Opportunity Score • Customer Alignment Score • Network Harmony Score These protect franchisees from cannibalization and protect franchisors from poorly placed units.

3 · Sourcing & Shortlist (Months 1–2) Using your approved criteria, FranRealCo delivers a shortlist of 3–5 tour-ready properties.

Each option includes a TradeArea Summary outlining: • Co-tenancy mix • Competition profile • Traffic patterns • Demographic fit • Alignment with your FDD investment model Franchisees receive datadriven business cases, not guesswork and brochures.

4 · Validation & LOI (Months 2–3) Before any LOI is executed, FranRealCo verifies: • Zoning compliance • MEP and utility capacity • Setbacks and use permissions • Conditional-use pathways • Permitting timelines LOIs include brand-protective items such as: • Co-tenancy standards • Rent-commencement triggers tied to build-out readiness • Cure ladders that safeguard financial and operational consistency 5 · Lease, Build & Opening (Months 3–6+) A Critical-Path Report tracks: • Permitting • Construction milestones • Inspections • Pre-opening readiness steps

Variance alerts notify franchisors when Days-toOpening drift outside baseline thresholds — supporting stronger validation, cleaner Item 19 performance, and faster royalty flow.

Pre-opening launch plans map daytime population, psychographics, and household density to guide local marketing.

METRICS THAT MATTER Quarterly reporting links your real estate process directly to financial outcomes: • Demand Score — population × spending potential • Co-Tenancy Health — anchor strength + center stability • Cannibalization / Halo Index — sales-transfer modeling pre-LOI • Days-to-Opening Variance

— accuracy against franchise baseline • Validation Impact Index — post-launch ROI + franchisee confidence FINANCIAL NARRATIVE — WHY IT MATTERS A 10% underperforming unit at $1.2M AUV creates roughly $120,000 in lost royalties per year. Ten such units erase the profitability of an entire region.

The FranRealCo RE System prevents that loss by validating economics before the LOI is signed and controlling timelines through permitting and construction oversight.

This is not just real estate — it is franchise system risk management.

RESULTS BY THE NUMBERS Franchisors using the FranRealCo RE System report:

WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM | DECEMBER 2025

113

• Working with knowledgeable local brokers who know the market • 30–40% faster openings from franchise award to grand opening • Lower site fallout due to early zoning and MEP validation • Higher franchisee validation scores tied to predictable timelines • More stable Item 19 performance across early markets • More consistent royalty flow during scaling phases Franchising doesn’t succeed because brands sell more agreements — it succeeds because those agreements turn into high-performing, onschedule openings.

The FranRealCo RE System gives franchisors the discipline,

proof, and predictability necessary to scale with confidence.

In franchising, trust is earned through systems that deliver on time and on budget — every time.

old Fast Golf Grips is the number one emerging golf grip franchise in the U.S., redefining the way golfers replace their grips. Founded by Jon, a lifelong golfer and innovator, the brand solves the industry’s biggest problem: slow, inconvenient grip replacement that traditionally takes days. Hold Fast brings a fully mobile, professional regrip service directly to the course, home, or workplace, installing grips in under 60 seconds with no drying time, so golfers can immediately hit balls and dial in the perfect size and feel.

As the only mobile golf grip franchise in the country, Hold Fast owns a completely untapped niche within a $100B+ industry.

Golfers are wealthy, loyal, and constantly seeking performance upgrades, making this service both recession-resistant and in high demand. With large territories, low overhead, and revenue potential over $200K per truck annually, territories are expected to sell out quickly. Hold Fast is poised to revolutionize golf grip fitting nationwide.

FRANAPCO

One of 2025’s Most ForwardThinking Franchise Brands

The Go-To Branded Merchandise Partner for Franchisors in 2025

www.4EverCharge.com

www.FranApCo.com

EverCharge earned its place as a top franchise brand of 2025, delivering a first-mover opportunity in the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure space. 4EverCharge brings together installation expertise, proven hardware, software systems, and franchise support in one package.

What sets 4EverCharge apart is its technologybacked, scalable business model. Franchisees don’t need a storefront, large staff, or inventory.

Instead, they establish charging stations at high-traffic locations like hotels, office parks, and multi-unit developments — owning the asset and earning recurring revenue every time a driver plugs in. The EV infrastructure gap in the U.S. is massive — with current stations numbering in the hundreds of thousands while the demand is projected to jump into the millions — creating a commercial window that is wide open now. 4EverCharge franchisees benefit from exclusive territories, backend technical support, and a business model aligned with sustainability and future mobility.

For entrepreneurs seeking a franchise brand with strong tailwinds, asset-based leverage, and minimal storefront constraints, 4EverCharge checks all the boxes. Its combination of infrastructure, recurring revenue, and strategic timing make it one of the best brands of 2025.

From custom apparel and elevated tradeshow kits to turnkey onboarding packages and unique, high-impact giveaway items, FranApCo helps brands rise above the noise and connect with serious candidates.

What sets the company apart is its service model. Jancy Darling and her team don’t just take orders; they guide franchisors through product selection, sourcing, timelines, and creative execution.

PROVIDING QUALIFIED, TRUSTWORTHY NATIONWIDE COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL SECURITY SOLUTIONS

Formerly known as The Flying Locksmiths; reintroduced, revitalized and refocused!

OVERVIEW FlyLock Security Solutions is a white-collar business management franchise opportunity in a technology-driven industry with unlimited growth potential. Formerly known as The Flying Locksmiths, the Boston-based security provider has evolved from their humble locksmith roots to its most profitable and fastest growing productsegment: access control.

The Access Control / Locksmith market is over $37 billion annually.

FRANCHISE DEVELOPMENT Franchise development is being spearheaded by Dennis Mulgannon of Franchise Scale who has successfully launched Junk King, Home Care Assistance, WaveMAX and NerdsToGo into national brands.

FlyLock Security Solutions represents not only a revamping of our current brand, but a shift in strategy and focus. Keys are being replaced with fobs and card access systems. Camera systems are ubiquitous.

Intercoms and automatic doors are more prevalent than ever before and the list of qualified companies that can work on them is short.

FRANCHISE DEVELOPMENT We are looking for franchise owners that are ready to run the business on a full-time basis. They should be looking to scale and manage a business versus working in the field.

We have a national call center that manages all prospective customer inquiries through a toll-free number. We educate the customer about our services, give basic pricing when appropriate, schedule the job or survey and route the job through our proprietary software.

The Franchise Disclosure Documents state an average revenue of >$1M sales, but they mention that is biased upwards by a few large city locations. Springfield already has a lot of donut shops, are they oversaturated?”
