NOTES

Fostering Innovation and Economic Growth: The Impact of Start-Up Businesses in the USA

I

n the dynamic landscape of the United States, start-up franchise businesses have emerged as powerful catalysts for creativity, job creation, and economic opportunities.

As the engine of innovation, these enterprises not only contribute to the nation's economic growth but also shape the workforce of the future. Recognizing the significance of startups, the U.S. government has implemented various programs to support small businesses, emphasizing the crucial role of political support in sustaining this vital sector.

CREATIVITY UNLEASHED: THE BIRTH OF START-UP FRANCHISING Start-up franchise businesses are the breeding grounds for creativity and innovation. In a nation known for its entrepreneurial spirit, these ventures become the incubators for novel ideas, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Entrepreneurs often embark on these journeys with a vision to solve existing problems, disrupt industries, or introduce groundbreaking technologies. Using the franchise framework gives entrepreneurs the ability to tap into a vast pool of knowledge, resources and support that is often unavailable in other disciplines.

Government programs designed to foster creativity in start-ups often include grants, research and development (R&D) incentives, and innovation hubs. These initiatives empower entrepreneurs to explore unconventional ideas, take risks, and contribute to the national narrative of progress. The result is a landscape enriched with diverse businesses, each offering a unique perspective and solution to contemporary challenges. Many of these concepts make

ideal franchise systems. In fact, many of the companies highlighted in this issue have benefited from these support platforms to help them get to where they are today.

One of the most tangible benefits of a thriving start-up ecosystem is the generation of employment opportunities. Start-ups, by nature, are labor-intensive, requiring skilled professionals, technicians, marketers, and administrative staff.

The ripple effect of job creation extends beyond the confines of the start-up itself, positively impacting the communities in which they operate. When these companies start selling franchises, they magnify this impact across the country into a multitude of communities when the franchisees open their location and start investing into their business….and community.

Government programs play a crucial role in supporting job creation by providing financial incentives, tax breaks, and access to

capital. Initiatives such as the Small Business Administration (SBA) loans and grants provide essential funding for start-ups to hire and retain talent. By fostering an environment conducive to job growth, policymakers contribute not only to the well-being of individual citizens but also to the overall economic health of the nation.

Start-ups open the door to a multitude of opportunities, not only for entrepreneurs but for the broader community. From local suppliers and service providers to emerging professionals seeking experience, the ecosystem surrounding start-ups becomes a vibrant network of interconnected opportunities.

By creating an environment that encourages collaboration and knowledge-sharing, policymakers contribute to the development of a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem. This, in turn, attracts talent and resources, creating a positive feedback loop that drives continuous growth and innovation.

Recognizing the vital role of start-ups in shaping the economic landscape, the U.S. government has implemented several programs to support small businesses. The Small Business

Administration (SBA), for instance, provides financial assistance, counseling, and access to government contracts. Additionally, the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs allocate a portion of federal research and development funds to small businesses, fostering innovation and technological advancement.

Tax incentives, such as the Research and Development Tax Credit, further encourage start-ups to invest in innovation. By allowing businesses to claim a credit for qualified R&D expenses, the government incentivizes risktaking and experimentation, essential elements of the entrepreneurial journey.

Moreover, the government's commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in entrepreneurship is evident through programs like the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) and the Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contracting Program. These initiatives aim to level the playing field and ensure that all entrepreneurs, regardless of background, have equal access to opportunities and resources.

Political support is the backbone of a flourishing start-up ecosystem. Policies and regulations set the tone for the business environment, influencing the ease of doing business, access to funding, and the overall entrepreneurial culture. A supportive political environment can fuel innovation by providing a safety net for risktaking and ensuring that barriers to entry are minimized.

Policymakers must recognize the interconnectedness of economic growth, job creation, and start-up success. By enacting legislation that supports access to capital, streamlines regulatory processes, and encourages public-private partnerships, politicians contribute to the sustained growth of the start-up sector.

Furthermore, consistent support for education and training programs geared towards entrepreneurship equips the workforce with the skills needed to thrive in an innovative economy. By investing in the next generation of entrepreneurs, political leaders secure the longterm sustainability of the start-up ecosystem.

The creativity, job opportunities, and economic growth generated by start-up franchise businesses make them invaluable contributors to the fabric of the United States. Government programs that support small businesses play a pivotal role in nurturing this vital sector, providing the resources and incentives needed for entrepreneurs to thrive. As the engine of innovation and job creation, start-ups deserve unwavering political support to ensure their continued success and contribution to the nation's prosperity. Through thoughtful legislation and strategic initiatives, policymakers can pave the way for a future where the entrepreneurial spirit flourishes through franchising making the American dream of business ownership attainable to anyone who wants to put the time and effort into it. This can do spirit is what will continue to drive the United States towards new heights of economic and creative achievement in the years to come.

EMERGING BRANDS

Emerging Businesses

F

ranchising is a driving contributor to the economy. In the U.S. alone, franchising had an economic output of approximately $790 billion in 2021. And more and more people recognize the power of franchising to help them achieve their dreams of home ownership. An estimated 790,000 franchise establishments opened in 2022.

While you can choose from many established names in franchising, many people also like the idea of getting

in on the ground floor with a new franchising system. After all, even the biggest names started with one location before growing. There are risks with an emerging brand, but the rewards outweigh them — from lower franchising fees to more location options.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN AN EMERGING FRANCHISE Emerging franchise brands often bring new and innovative concepts to the market. This could be a unique product or service, a distinctive business

JANUARY 2024 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

model, or a novel approach to an existing industry. Even though these new brands, they’ve typically demonstrated some success in their initial locations. They may have a few pilot stores or units that have shown promising results and attracted the attention of potential franchisees.

Take note of how scalable the brand is. A successful franchise concept should be easily replicated across various locations with consistent

“BELIEF IN ONESELF IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BRICKS IN BUILDING ANY SUCCESSFUL VENTURE." — Lydia M. Child success. The emerging brand should have a plan for expanding its footprint and reaching new markets that are adaptable. What works in one location may need to be adjusted for success in another, and the emerging franchise should be able to accommodate these variations.

An emerging franchise brand should have a welldefined and unique brand identity. This includes a recognizable logo, a consistent brand message, and a positive reputation that franchisees can leverage to attract customers. Finally, for a franchise system to thrive, there needs to be strong support from the franchisor to franchisees. This support may include training programs, marketing assistance, ongoing operational guidance, and other resources to help franchisees succeed.

STARTING A FRANCHISE BUSINESS Starting a franchise business — an emerging brand or an established name — can be exciting and potentially lucrative. If you are considering starting your franchise in the New Year, here are some things to consider: Investigate the Franchise: Research the franchise thoroughly. Understand its business model, reputation, and financial health. Consider talking to existing franchisees

to get their perspectives.

Financial Planning: Understand the initial investment required, including franchise fees, equipment, inventory, and other startup costs. Also, consider ongoing operating expenses such as rent, utilities, employee salaries, and marketing. Create a comprehensive business plan to estimate your costs and revenues.

Seek Legal Advice: Consult with a franchise attorney to ensure you understand all legal aspects, including the franchise agreement and your rights and responsibilities.

Training and Support: Choose a franchise that offers comprehensive training and ongoing support. This can be crucial for your success, especially if you are new to the industry.

Location Selection: Choose a location based on your target audience. Consider foot traffic, accessibility, and the demographics of the area.

Negotiate favorable lease terms, considering the longterm sustainability of the business.

Marketing and Branding: Invest in local marketing to create awareness in your community. Customize promotional efforts to suit local preferences. Establish a strong online presence. Utilize social media and other digital platforms to connect with your target audience.

BRAND TO WATCH — WALLABY WINDOW Remodeling and home improvement have surged in the United States since the pandemic. In 2020, 76% of American homeowners did a home improvement project, while the industry earned $1.1 billion in 2021. Franchises that capitalize on this industry’s tremendous growth are experiencing strong returns.

What better way to ensure your success and explore your goal of being your own boss than by investing in an emerging brand focused on home improvement?

Wallaby Windows & Doors is a sales and marketing franchise with a proven track record in exponential franchise growth and disrupting the homeservice franchise category. The Wallaby Windows franchise model was designed with the semi-absentee franchise owner in mind and offers flexible ownership options.

Other advantages include quickly ramping up a franchise location and a moderate investment, thanks to no need for a brick-and-mortar location.

Franchises benefit from the need for minimal staff and equipment to get a Wallaby Windows & Doors up and

running. The brand also boasts sales software technology that gives customers an invoice the same day as the estimate. Franchisees run the business during daytime hours, meaning your nights and weekends are your own.

Finally, territories are generous, containing 200,000 or more potential clients.

Wallaby Windows & Doors provides a proven business and system with high-ticket invoices and great returns.

It is an ideal opportunity for a semi-absentee franchisee or an operator interested in multiple units, and it doesn’t require previous experience.

All you need is a strong motivation to succeed, some experience managing a small business and strong communication skills. Best of all, a Wallaby Windows & Doors location can be up and running in as little as 60 days of onboarding inception, allowing you to quickly take advantage of the 17% increase in home remodeling expected from 2021 to 2022 alone. Potential franchisees interested in building an empire and who are prepared

to handle the workload that comes with it should reach out to learn more.

Remember, the success of any franchise business is often a result of careful planning, ongoing learning, and a dedication to delivering quality products or services. Be patient and stay committed to your long-term goals.

Franchise consultant Seth Lederman can help save you time and money and help you find the best-emerging franchise for you and your dreams. If you are excited by the idea of an emerging franchise, working with an experienced franchise advisor who can guide you in the process can be helpful.

Young Minds, Big Dreams: Inspiring Start-Up Success Stories by Children

by Max Neonakis

id you have a lemonade stand when you were a kid? What did you do to make extra money? I remember my brother Alex and I starting a lemonade stand when we were kids. Our friends all helped and even though we drank most of the lemonade, we had people stop by and buy it. It was such an amazing experience to have someone give you money for something you made. It made me feel independent and entrepreneurial. That same drive exists in a world where innovation knows no age, young minds are proving that entrepreneurship is not restricted by the number of candles on a birthday cake.

Across the globe, children are stepping into the realm of business with fresh ideas, resilience, and an inherent passion to make a difference.

Many of these businesses have the ability to franchise if they so choose and knowing that the growth of their vision is not limited to their city or even the amount of money they have in their bank account is a powerful reason why franchising needs to be taught to young entrepreneurs.

1. MOZIAH BRIDGES — MO'S BOWS: At the tender age of nine, Moziah Bridges from Memphis, Tennessee, embarked on a journey that would redefine the world of fashion. Recognizing the lack of stylish and unique bow ties for children, Moziah founded "Mo's Bows," a company that specializes in handmade bow ties. What started as a simple desire to stand out at formal events turned into a thriving business.

Moziah's entrepreneurial spirit led him to appear on the hit television show Shark Tank, where he secured a deal with Daymond John.

Today, Mo's Bows has grown into a successful enterprise, with a range of accessories and partnerships with major retailers. Moziah's story highlights the power of passion and the impact a young entrepreneur can have on an industry.

2. ALINA MORSE — ZOLLIPOPS: Alina Morse, at the age of seven, came up with a sweet solution to a common problem: oral health. Frustrated with the lack of delicious and toothfriendly candy options, Alina created Zollipops, a sugarfree lollipop that is not only tasty but also promotes good oral hygiene. Alina's business acumen has earned her the title of the youngest person to ever land a product on the shelves of major retailers like Walmart.

Zollipops has since expanded its product line to include other oral care products under the brand "Zolli Candy." Alina's success not only showcases the potential for innovation at a young age but also the importance of addressing real-world problems through entrepreneurial solutions.

3. HANNAH GRACE — BEYOUTIFUL After being challenged by her father to create the same products she loved from her favorite health and beauty stores, Hannah Grace got to work. She quickly learned how to make bath bombs and soon started her own bath and beauty brand, BeYOUtiful. You can find her products on her website and in retail stores.

Grace, who has type 1 diabetes, donates 10 percent of every online purchase to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund.

4.CALEB NELSON — ROMEO RICKSHAWS: Caleb Nelson, who lives in Cedar City, Utah, opened Romeo’s Rickshaws with his dad in 2017 when he was only 14 years old. The pedicab business launched during the Utah Shakespeare Festival, one of the biggest tourist events in Utah, and flourished among the city’s visitors. Soon, it expanded, offering pedicab rides across the downtown and transportation for special events like weddings. Nelson brought on additional drivers and began offering local tours of Cedar City. Romeo’s Rickshaws cost nothing, setting them apart from all other transportation services.

Instead, they operate on a tiponly system.

5. MIKAILA ULMER — ME & THE BEES LEMONADE: Mikaila Ulmer, at the age of four, received a beekeeping kit as a gift, sparking her fascination with bees and their importance to the ecosystem. Drawing on her love for lemonade and the family recipe, Mikaila founded "Me & the Bees Lemonade" at the age of ten. What makes her product unique is the use of honey as a sweetener, supporting local beekeeping and environmental causes.

Mikaila's lemonade gained widespread attention after her appearance on Shark Tank, where she secured a deal with Daymond John and expanded her business significantly.

Beyond her success in the beverage industry, Mikaila has become an advocate for sustainability and youth entrepreneurship.

These young entrepreneurs prove that age is no barrier to making a significant impact in the business world. From fashion to oral care, baked goods, hair care, and beverages, these children-turnedentrepreneurs have demonstrated creativity, resilience, and a keen understanding of market needs.

Their stories serve as an inspiration for other young minds, encouraging them to dream big and pursue their entrepreneurial aspirations. The success of these start-ups not only showcases the potential of young entrepreneurs but also emphasizes the importance of fostering an environment that nurtures and supports the innovative ideas of the next generation. When this creativity is paired with the franchise model, amazing things start happening. While you were reading this article and thinking, this reminds of this brand or that brand - don’t be surprised if you see some of these as a franchise coming to a town near you soon!

NURTURING YOUNG MINDS: The Importance of Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills for Children

by Rudy Frederico, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

C

ritical thinking and problem-solving skills are vital in empowering children to navigate the complexities of life, make informed decisions, and tackle challenges with confidence. In today's rapidly changing world, these skills are more crucial than ever.

In this article, we will explore

the significance of critical thinking and problem-solving skills for children, highlighting their impact on academic success, personal growth, and preparing children for a future filled with uncertainties.

ENHANCING ACADEMIC SUCCESS Critical thinking and problemsolving skills are fundamental

to academic success. By developing these skills, children become active learners who can analyze information, evaluate evidence, and make reasoned judgments. They learn to ask questions, seek multiple perspectives, and think independently. These skills are particularly valuable in subjects such as mathematics, science, language arts, and social studies, where children are encouraged to think critically, solve complex problems, and engage in higher-order thinking. By honing their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, children not only excel academically but also develop a deep understanding of the subjects they study.

PROMOTING EFFECTIVE DECISION MAKING Critical thinking and problemsolving skills enable children to make effective decisions in various aspects of their lives.

They learn to identify problems, analyze the situation, and consider multiple options before arriving at a solution.

Children develop the ability to weigh pros and cons,

anticipate consequences, and evaluate the impact of their decisions. These skills are transferable to everyday life, empowering children to make informed choices related to their health, relationships, and personal well-being. By equipping children with these skills, we empower them to navigate challenges and make decisions that align with their values and goals.

FOSTERING CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION Critical thinking and problemsolving skills are closely linked to creativity and innovation.

Children who possess these skills are more likely to approach challenges with a mindset of curiosity, exploration, and openness to new ideas.

They learn to think outside the box, generate innovative solutions, and embrace failure as an opportunity for growth.

Critical thinking encourages children to question assumptions, challenge conventions, and explore unconventional approaches. By nurturing these skills, we foster a generation of creative thinkers who can tackle complex problems, adapt to change, and contribute to the advancement of society.

BUILDING RESILIENCE AND ADAPTABILITY Critical thinking and problemsolving skills build resilience and adaptability in children.

Through engaging with challenging problems, children learn to persevere, overcome obstacles, and view setbacks as opportunities for learning.

They develop the confidence

to approach unfamiliar situations with a problemsolving mindset, knowing that they have the capacity to find solutions. These skills prepare children to navigate an ever-changing world, where adaptability and resilience are crucial for success. Children equipped with critical thinking and problem-solving skills become resilient problem solvers who can thrive in dynamic environments.

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are essential for preparing children for the future. In a world characterized by rapid technological advancements, global challenges, and complex societal issues, these skills are in high demand.

As children grow into adults, they will face a multitude of problems that require creative and analytical thinking.

Whether it's addressing climate change, designing innovative technologies, or finding solutions to socioeconomic disparities, the ability to think critically and solve problems becomes invaluable. By nurturing these skills from a young age, we empower children to become active contributors to society, capable of making positive changes in their communities and the world.

Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are foundational for children's success and well-being. By cultivating these skills, we enable children to excel academically, make effective

decisions, embrace creativity and innovation, build resilience, and prepare for a future filled with challenges and opportunities. As parents, educators, and society at large, it is our responsibility to foster an environment that nurtures critical thinking and problemsolving skills, providing children with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of life, become lifelong learners, and make meaningful contributions to the world.

The 43-year-old spent 22 years working in corporate finance and human resources for both GM Financial and Amazon, leading both large and small teams in a variety of areas. Now he’s putting his corporate skill set to use as a small-business owner. “I’ve always thrived creating new

things and helping people, but I wanted to do it on my own,” Baldwin said. “I’ve always enjoyed working with high-performing teams and Floor Coverings International is the best of the best. Their corporate mindset is customer obsession and that goes handin-hand with my experience at

GM and Amazon.”

Floor Coverings International is changing the game for those looking to upgrade their homes or offices with new flooring. With their innovative and award-winning customer service tools and unique mobile showroom experience, customers can now view more than 3,000 flooring options.

Launched in September, Floor Coverings International of Seattle serves customers throughout North Seattle, Lake Forest Park, and Shoreline.

The mobile showroom allows clients to see how different options will look with existing furniture, lighting, and paint colors all within the comfort of their home.

Floor Coverings International

"BEING OUT ON MY OWN FOR THE FIRST TIME IS EXCITING, BUT PARTNERING WITH A FRANCHISE THAT SUPPORTS ITS FRANCHISEES AND CUSTOMERS IN THE WAY THAT FLOOR COVERINGS INTERNATIONAL DOES IS THE MOST EXCITING PART FOR ME." — Mark Baldwin, Floor Covings International Owner has already revolutionized the market as it consistently ranks as the No.1 Mobile Flooring Franchise in North America by Entrepreneur Magazine. As projected by Hardware Retailing, home improvement sales are expected to reach $625 billion by 2025 worldwide. The flooring industry is undergoing significant changes and

innovations as consumers demand more quality, variety, and sustainability in their flooring choices. According to a recent report by Expert Market Research, the United States flooring market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.50 percent through 2028, driven by the increasing population, rapid urbanization, and growing investments in renovations and remodeling of infrastructures.

According to the latest figures, there are more than 5.5 million family businesses in the United States and familyowned businesses contribute to 57 percent of the GDP and employ 63 percent of the workforce. Baldwin said setting boundaries is an important part of making a family-owned business work.

“Work stays at the door, and we focus on the kids and pets when we get home,” he said.

“At work, we each have our own duties and own that part of the business,” he said.

Nurturing Earth Stewards: The Importance of Environmental Education and Sustainability for Children

by Steve Rotay, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

E

nvironmental education and sustainability are crucial for children to develop a deep connection with nature, understand the impact of human actions on the environment, and become responsible stewards of the Earth. By instilling environmental knowledge, values, and practices, we empower children to make informed decisions, advocate for sustainable solutions, and work towards a healthier and more sustainable planet. In

this article, we will explore the significance of environmental education and sustainability for children, highlighting their impact on fostering environmental awareness, promoting sustainable practices, and nurturing a sense of environmental responsibility.

FOSTERING ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AND CONNECTION Environmental education cultivates environmental

awareness and a strong connection with nature in children. By learning about ecosystems, biodiversity, and the interdependence of living organisms, children develop an understanding of the delicate balance of the natural world. They learn to appreciate the beauty and wonders of nature, fostering a sense of awe, curiosity, and respect for the environment.

Environmental education also raises awareness about environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction, empowering children to become informed advocates for positive change.

PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES Environmental education encourages children to adopt sustainable practices in their daily lives. By learning about the principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle, children develop an understanding of the importance of conserving natural resources and minimizing waste. They learn about the impact of their choices and ac-

tions on the environment, such as energy consumption, water conservation, and responsible consumption. Environmental education promotes sustainable habits like using reusable items, composting, conserving energy, and adopting eco-friendly transportation options. By integrating these practices into their lives, children contribute to building a more sustainable future.

EMPOWERING CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM-SOLVING Environmental education empowers children with critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By engaging in handson activities, investigations, and inquiry-based learning, children learn to analyze environmental issues, evaluate different perspectives, and develop innovative solutions.

They explore real-world problems such as pollution, deforestation, and habitat loss, and are encouraged to think critically, consider the consequences of actions, and propose strategies for positive change. Environmental education nurtures creativity, resilience, and adaptability, qualities that are essential for addressing complex environmental challenges.

FOSTERING A SENSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY Environmental education instills a sense of environmental responsibility in children, emphasizing the importance of their role as global citizens. By understanding the intercon-

nectedness of ecosystems and the impact of human actions, children develop a sense of personal responsibility for the environment. They learn that their choices and behaviors can make a difference in preserving natural resources, protecting wildlife, and mitigating climate change. Environmental education fosters a sense of agency, empowering children to take action, participate in conservation efforts, and advocate for environmental sustainability in their communities.

PROMOTING CONSERVATION AND BIODIVERSITY PRESERVATION Environmental education emphasizes the importance of conservation and biodiversity preservation. By learning about the value of diverse ecosystems, endangered species, and the importance of ecological balance, children develop an appreciation for the need to protect and conserve biodiversity. They learn about the significance of natural habitats, the role of conservation organizations, and the importance of sustainable practices in ensuring the survival of various plant and animal species. Environmental education fosters a sense of wonder and awe for the natural world, inspiring children to become guardians of biodiversity.

PREPARING FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Environmental education prepares children for a sustainable future.

By equipping them

with knowledge about sustainable technologies, renewable energy sources, and innovative solutions, children become agents of change in transitioning to a more sustainable society.

Environmental education also nurtures skills such as collaboration, communication, and leadership, essential for working collectively towards a sustainable future. By fostering a sense of environmental responsibility and empowering children to take action, we ensure a brighter and more sustainable future for generations to come.

Environmental education and sustainability are essential for children to develop a deep understanding, appreciation, and responsibility for the environment. By fostering environmental awareness, promoting sustainable practices, and nurturing a sense of environmental responsibility, we empower children to become active participants in creating a more sustainable and resilient planet. Environmental education not only equips children with the knowledge and skills necessary to address environmental challenges but also cultivates a lifelong commitment to environmental stewardship. Together, let us inspire the next generation to protect and preserve our precious Earth.

MindChamps International Preschool: Proven, Experienced, Yet Still Emerging!

by Joe Fox, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

A

s the global landscape of education evolves, so does the realm of preschools and early childhood development. One notable player making waves in this field is MindChamps International Preschool, an emerging franchise brand that is redefining early education

58

with its innovative approach.

While they have sold over 270 franchises worldwide, they are just now entering the US market.

A PIONEERING CONCEPT IN EARLY EDUCATION: Founded in Singapore, MindChamps International

JANUARY 2024 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

Preschool has quickly gained recognition for its unique and holistic approach to early childhood education.

The franchise stands out by integrating the best of educational practices from around the world, creating an enriching environment that nurtures young minds.

At the core of MindChamps' philosophy is the belief that every child is a champion, capable of reaching their full potential with the right guidance and environment.

The curriculum goes beyond traditional academics, incorporating a blend of academic, creative, and socialemotional learning. They refer to this as “The 3-Mind Revolution”. Through this approach, they are “Building the Champion Learner for life”. The 3 primary areas of focus are the Creative Mind, the Learning Mind, and the Champion Mind. This comprehensive approach aims to foster well-rounded individuals equipped with the skills needed for success in the 21st century.

PROVEN SUCCESS AND GLOBAL EXPANSION: MindChamps International Preschool's success is evident in its rapidly growing number of worldwide locations and positive outcomes for enrolled children. While new to the US, the franchise has previously demonstrated its effectiveness through over 270 franchises sold in 6 countries and having over 100,000 students enrolled.

This impressive growth since 2008 serves as a testament to the viability of its unique educational model.

With a solid foundation in place, MindChamps has embarked on a global expansion journey through franchising. The emergence of this brand in the US signals not only its success in the competitive field of early education but also the potential for further growth and impact.

INNOVATIVE CURRICULUM: Central to MindChamps' success is its curriculum, which combines the best practices from various educational philosophies, and the latest findings in neuroscience.

The result is a dynamic and engaging learning experience that stimulates a child's cognitive, social, and emotional development.

The curriculum focuses not only on academic excellence but also on nurturing essential life skills such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. This holistic approach prepares children not just for the next level of education but for

a lifetime of learning and success. Children attending MindChamps International Preschools learn through many varied approaches designed by experts in the fields of Education, Psychology, Neuroscience, Theatre and Music. Additionally, the company has conducted significant research into the aforementioned areas, as well as Nutrition for children.

They have even appointed a Global Director of Nutrition!

MindChamps International Preschool is committed to ensuring that kids attending their schools receive proper nutrition through wholesome and healthy offerings that kids actually enjoy.

SUPPORTIVE FRANCHISE SYSTEM: For entrepreneurs looking to invest in the education sector, MindChamps offers a comprehensive and

supportive franchise system.

The franchisor provides extensive training programs for franchisees and their staff, ensuring that the MindChamps philosophy and methodologies are implemented consistently across all locations. They have trained over 2500 Preschool Teachers through a very comprehensive program that involves 200 hours of combined theory and practicum.

Ongoing support includes marketing assistance, operational guidance, and access to a community of like-minded educators. This level of support is crucial for the success of an emerging franchise, as it helps maintain the integrity of the brand and

ensures a consistent and highquality experience for children and their families.

COMMUNITY IMPACT AND CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: Beyond its commitment to educational excellence, MindChamps International Preschool places a strong emphasis on community impact and corporate social responsibility. Many of its franchise locations actively engage with local communities, organizing events, and initiatives that contribute to the well-being of children beyond the confines of the classroom.

This commitment to social responsibility not only aligns with the growing trend of 60

conscious consumerism but also reflects the brand's genuine dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of the children it serves.

PROVEN, EXPERIENCED, YET STILL EMERGING: As an emerging franchise brand, MindChamps International Preschool exemplifies the innovation and dedication needed to redefine early childhood education.

Its unique approach, global success, and commitment to creating well-rounded individuals position it as a promising investment opportunity for entrepreneurs in the US seeking to make a meaningful impact in the field of education. As MindChamps continues to expand its reach, it is likely to shape the future of early education and contribute to the development of a new generation of champions.

Begin 2024 on a Fresh and Healthy Note with “The Fresh Monkee” Franchise

by Seema Govil, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

Judy, it's thrilling to witness a woman leading the way as a franchisor in the health food sector. Can you share the story behind the inception of Fresh Monkee?

The journey of The Fresh Monkee began with the timeless wisdom, "If you can't find it, build it."

My background was in finance, a career I loved for many years. However, life took unexpected turns. A complex divorce left me with minimal savings and little more than my two young children. Returning to finance, I found myself in a corporate role, realizing it wasn't the right fit. Yearning for a change, I began daydreaming about what that change could look like. Fate led me to a modest 650 sq ft space in Wethersfield, CT, where I spent my childhood after being adopted from Korea. It felt like 68

JANUARY 2024 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

I became a thriving small business owner. Starting with a bold idea for quick, healthy, and delicious offerings, we now boast five shops and embark on national franchising.

If you ever wonder if it's possible, remember: If I can do it, ANYONE CAN!

the perfect place to start anew.

Considering a small business, I gravitated towards something health-focused. Growing up with body image challenges, I understood the importance of nutrition. Overcoming a decadelong battle with an eating disorder, I learned what the body truly needed to thrive.

As I contemplated a business from scratch, nutrition became my core focus. Making Protein Shakes at home had been a daily ritual during my challenging days as a single mom. Disenchanted with the artificial and sugar-laden options at popular smoothie chains, I knew I could create something better.

Armed with a single blender, a used fridge, Ikea shelving, and the support of friends and family, we painted and opened the first Fresh Monkee. A year later, we expanded to a second location, added a food truck, and, within a couple of years, three more locations. Word of mouth spread, and our Protein Shakes, rich in macronutrients, gained a reputation for being deliciously wholesome. We prioritized No added sugars and whole fruits and vegetables, resulting in unique and flavorful combinations.

From a newly divorced single mom seeking assistance for utilities and Christmas gifts,

Please enlighten our readers about your vision for Fresh Monkee and the positive impact you hope to make on the world, one shake at a time. It must be super exciting to receive feedback.

Since opening in 2014, we've enjoyed serving customers and working alongside our dedicated staff for almost a decade. It's heartening to receive messages from those who've moved away, expressing how they miss our unique Shakes, often saying, "There's nothing like your Shakes here; you should open one in our new community."

Contemplating this possibility, the most thrilling aspect for me was that our brand could become a beacon for others.

It could empower individuals to replicate our success, introducing a healthy and straightforward option to their communities while providing a lively avenue for earning a living. The Fresh Monkee has the potential to flourish in every city and state, catering to individuals of all ages. The simplicity of our offering not only facilitates the management of multiple units but also creates opportunities for everyone—from teenagers to adults—to join our team, with the possibility of advancing into management roles.

How many locations is "The Fresh Monkee" currently operating?

We currently have five corporate locations that opened between 2014 and 2018. As of 12.11.23, we expect to have 10-12 franchised locations open Looking ahead to 2024, could you share the expansion plans? Are there specific states you're targeting for initial growth?

Our focus is the Northeast, Southeast, and the western states of Texas and Arizona. We will add over 10 locations in 2024 and over 20 in 2025 and beyond.

What sets 'The Fresh Monkee' apart as an easily manageable franchise?

When I envisioned TFM, simplicity was key. I aimed to provide wholesome, tasty Protein Shakes exclusively unlike competitors with a diverse menu, including salads, soups, sandwiches, bowls, etc. I opted for mastery in one area: Shakes. This strategic decision eliminates the need for complex cooking equipment like hoods, stoves, or ovens, making it cost-effective. With staffing averaging 2-4 people, even during peak times, and a straightforward menu, training, ordering, and inventory management are seamless. This simplicity facilitates the efficient operation of individual units and makes handling multiple units entirely feasible. And, above all, it's enjoyable!"

The Vital Stretch Meets The Needs of An Expanding Market

by Dr. Rob and Melissa Goldring , Owners,Vital Stretch

A

ccording to an article published in Athletech News in October, “Assisted Stretching Franchises are the next best thing in wellness.” That’s not surprising considering what used to be a niche offering in wellness spaces has exploded onto the scene in the form of emerging businesses devoted to improving their clients’ flexibility and overall health.

While you’ll still find assisted stretching available in health and fitness centers across the country, stand alone facilities like The Vital Stretch franchises

are riding the wave of success to reach clients and franchisees across the country.

THE ASSISTED STRETCHING INDUSTRY IS AN EXPANDING MARKET Industry reports claim stretching-related businesses have enjoyed a growth rate of over 20percent due to an increased awareness of the benefits associated with the practice. An agingpopulation, stressed out clients, and athletes looking to improve their performance have all contributed to this success, creating a demand for one-on-one assisted stretching

sessions that are tailored to their individual needs. The Vital Stretch is right there to meet them.

“Movement is medicine, and the general population is realizing just how important stretching is to improving their flexibility, reducing their stiffness and soreness, and undoing damage caused by stress,” explains Melissa Goldring, co-owner of The Vital Stretch. Our business model is built upon providing clinically designed, safe, medically sound assisted stretching services that have been tested on hundreds of patients (of Melissa and Rob’s in their clinical practice) to ensure the perfect fit.

HOW THE VITAL STRETCH MEETS THE NEEDS OF THIS EXPANDING MARKET The Vital Stretch is having a moment thanks to that solid business model and over 50 years of clinical experience (Robert Goldring is a licensed Chiropractic Physician while his wife and co-owner, Melissa Goldring, is a licensed Physical Therapist). Due to the company’s continued success and commitment to growth, franchisees are rushing to enjoy their own piece of The

THE VITAL STRETCH’S FIRST FRANCHISEE

Vital Stretch pie.

As an emerging business, zees are in for a treat when working with Melissa and Robert.

“Franchisees who come in during the early stages of franchising gain some pretty enviable benefits,” Robert says.

Prime territories and markets are generally available in the beginning, and these zees have a fantastic opportunity to work directly with the developers and founders of the business. “We are excited to be working with a fantastic group of energized, passionate, and skilled franchisees,” Melissa adds about the zees who’ve been onboarding during the past year. To date, 14 units have been awarded. Talk about a quickly emerging business!

Jacob Mani knows a good thing when he sees it. The Vital Stretch’s first franchisee, this inspired go getter is using his background in business development and franchise management to bring the Vital Stretch Method to three locations in Fairfield County, Connecticut. As an athlete who’s dealt with a back injury since 19, Jacob finally found relief from his sessions at The Vital Stretch.

“I found that the stretching modalities from The Vital Stretch were superior to other services I received,” he says.

“So, when the opportunity arose to own a piece of this business, it was a simple choice for me.” He is opening his first franchise in Wilton, Connecticut in December of this year.

Jacob’s passion for health and wellness along with his entrepreneurial mindset are definite assets when it

comes to launching these new establishments. Robert and Melissa are cheering him on from behind the scenes, and they’re committed to supporting him every step of the way. “My main goal is to create a stress-free environment where clients will get an incredibly customized assisted stretch.

They’ll leave each session able to move through their day and life with more ease than before,” Jacob says.

HOW TO BECOME A THE VITAL STRETCH FRANCHISE OWNER Looking to join an incredible team? The Vital Stretch has three main tenets for potential franchise owners. If you tick all of these boxes, consider contacting Rob and Melissa Goldringabout franchising opportunities by visiting Franchising at TheVitalStretch. com.

Attention to Detail Pays Off as Pillar To Post Home Inspector Celebrates 25th Anniversary with Prestigious Award

by Rhonda Sanderson, CEO, Sanderson & Associates

F

ace time has a different meaning for David Dalfino than it does for most everyone else. It’s not a way to make video calls to friends and family. Instead, it’s the literal definition of the word: time spent in face-to-face contact with someone. In this age of virtual meetings, Dalfino prefers to do things the old-fashioned way as an owner within the Pillar To Post Home Inspectors® network, the largest home inspection franchise in North America. Having purchased the franchise in 1998, the Livonia, Mich., resident serve homebuyers and sellers throughout the greater Metropolitan Detroit area.

The attention and professionalism Dalfino shows to his clients and professional associates doesn’t go unnoticed, and that’s why he was recently recognized as the 2023 Strategic Partner of the Year for the Greater Metropolitan Association of Realtors® the largest, local Realtor® association in the State of Michigan with more than 11,500 members.

“Dave Dalfino’s recognition as the 2023 Strategic Partner of the Year is a testament to his outstanding contributions to the real estate community,” the organization said. “His devotion to service, commitment to building relationships, focus on education, and impact on the community make him a deserving recipient of this prestigious award.”

The timing of the award coincides with Dalfino celebrating his 25th anniversary as a Pillar To Post Home Inspectors owner. It was especially meaningful to him since nominees can only be nominated by a GMAR member, such as a Realtor® or broker. The Strategic Partner of the Year award is the highest honor a Strategic Partner Member can receive from GMAR. “I believe the No. 1 key to successful marketing is consistency. Show up to events, participate, and become a fixture for the organization. You

want people shocked if you don’t come, more than surprised that you’re there,” Dalfino said. “I’ve been a member of GMAR since the beginning and engage in any opportunity that they afford me. We strive to be a consistent professional

in all areas, from the reports we provide, the presentation of that information, and in our ongoing support. Our slogan is ‘Professionals supporting professionals.’ We want our clients to be served.”

Dalfino has shown the importance of building and cultivating relationships. He earns them, a notion that didn’t go unnoticed by his GMAR brethren. “At the heart of Dave’s success is his unique ability to build meaningful relationships with busy, professional Realtors®. In an industry where time is of the essence, Dave’s approach goes beyond mere transactions,” the organization said. “He understands that fostering genuine connections is essential for long-term success.”

Home inspections have become a vital part of the real estate sector, providing buyers and sellers with reliable information about the condition and value of a property. The U.S. building inspector industry, measured by revenue, is estimated to have a market size of $4.9 billion according to global research firm IBISWorld. Pillar to Post Home Inspectors has been at the forefront with its outstanding and innovative technologies that were introduced just in time to provide contactless home inspections during the pandemic.

Dalfino grew up around construction. His father was a homebuilder for more than 50 years, as well as an accomplished craftsman and inventor.

Before joining Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, Dalfino spent 22 years in manufacturing engineering and property management and had been vice president of sales and engineering for a plastics company before joining Pillar To Post Home Inspectors.

“I was drawn to home inspecting because it is both an assessment of the property and an offering of education of our findings to our clients,” Dalfino said. “My previous career focused on understanding the issues and providing a service of information and solutions, so I thought it was a perfect transition.”

Today’s homebuyer – especially in the ever-

changing housing market – would be wise to turn to Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, given some recent findings. According to Clever Real Estate, 72 percent of homebuyers who purchased in 2021 or 2022 have regrets over their home purchase. The most common factors that contributed to their remorse were spending too much money and rushing into buying.

And there are some other important considerations to mull in addition to a home’s square footage and number of bathrooms.

Clever’s survey also found that almost half of homebuyers – 43 percent – made financial concessions like waiving a home inspection amid fierce competition for homes, according to CNBC. And skipping that home inspection can be costly. A survey from insurance firm Hippo found that most homeowners – 77 percent – had to pay for an unexpected repair within the first year of owning a house. Two-thirds of respondents said those fixes cost more than $1,000, said the CNBC report.

“The No. 1 thing a homeowner can do to help in an inspection is to provide good access to all areas of the home such as the attic, electrical panel, and crawlspaces. If we are unable to access an area, we are unable to inspect it. Additionally, providing the buyer a clear disclosure can help move your home along faster,” Dalfino said. “For the seller who wants to be ahead, we offer a prelisting inspection. We will go through the home and evaluate it for any issues that could impede your transaction. We have clients who leave our report out during showings of their home to show to potential buyers.”

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

Barefoot Concrete Coatings is changing the way concrete coatings are done. They are bringing back the “Service” to home services.

Our number one priority is to provide quality customer service!

Starting in January of 2019, Barefoot Concrete Coatings was established, which was named after Brian’s mom. Brian’s mom always put others before herself, and her desire was to make everyone happy. Brian has incorporated this customer-first principle into his company from the beginning. Barefoot Concrete Coatings is all about the customer experience and they “just happen” to install exceptional concrete coatings too. They use state of the art software for scheduling, quoting, and communication with the customers, this is not often experienced in the home improvement industry. Whether it’s a phone call, text message, email, or face to face communication, the customer is kept informed throughout the entire process.

IV Nutrition stands as a premier destination for IV therapy, offering a unique franchise opportunity in the health and wellness industry. By providing top-quality IV infusion services, it plays a pivotal role in helping people achieve optimal health. The clinics offer a comprehensive range of services, including IV Drips, Nutrient Injections, B12 Injections, NAD+ Drips, and full panel testing, all tailored to meet individual health needs.

A significant advantage for franchisees is that IV Nutrition Corporate holds medical licenses across the United States. Additionally, its partnership with a construction firm greatly expedites the buildout process of new clinics.

This strategic infrastructure supports rapid and efficient expansion.

IV Nutrition's commitment to health and wellness is evident in its focus on essential wellness services, consciously avoiding treatments like Botox. This dedication, combined with a proactive approach to regulatory compliance, ensures adherence to the highest industry standa

We are helping kids channel their technology obsession and turn it into something that actually encourages them to explore and understand and even turn it into a thriving career after high school. We strive to prepare students at an early age for the changing workplace infrastructure and help mitigate the severe shortage of STEM employees in the workforce. A staggering 50% of current jobs will be replaced with technology by 2025; however, the public education system does not have the programs in place to adequately prepare students for emerging careers in tech-related fields. We provide a clear solution to this problem by offering Career Readiness education to students ages 7-18 that build interest, excitement, and requisite skills for not just the jobs that exist today, but for those that will be in demand in the future.

Through its commitment to quality services and customer satisfaction, Fiesta Auto Insurance and Tax Services has become a trusted and reputable brand in the industry.

The kind of change that beautifies a home, increases functionality & value in an investment property, or rounds off a commercial project. This is what drives us, this is what excites us!

We work with a unique 3-stage selling process: Browse our online flooring catalog with in-room viewer, then a design consultant visits your project site with our mobile design showroom, whereafter the office takes control of the potential client. This keeps overhead low, bringing samples to the client, while also allowing for competitive pricing. This results in high profit margins and quick break even for our franchisees. We also offer a centralized call center and Done-for-You Digital Marketing Program, making this an easy business to run.

Founded in 2012 by Dustin Distefano and Jerod Evanich, A Place At Home is rapidly becoming a leader in the senior care industry. Inspired by their personal experience of struggling to find quality care for loved ones, the founders developed a comprehensive, senior-focused care model. Beyond traditional in-home senior care, the franchise also offers care coordination, senior living alternatives, and staffing solutions.

This diversified approach not only enhances quality of care but also provides franchise owners with multiple avenues for revenue.

As the "silver tsunami" of aging baby boomers approaches, the demand for senior care is set to surge, presenting a lucrative and ever-growing market. A Place At Home positions entrepreneurs at the forefront of this expanding industry. With nearly 30 owners operating over 50 territories across the US, the franchise has doubled in size since 2020.

Our Founder, Patrice Rice, has a strong passion for animals. Years ago, she lost one of her beloved Alpacas to a mosquito borne illness.

She wanted to find a better way to protect her animals, with more green and all-natural methods. From that need, Mosquito Sheriff was born. Mosquito Sheriff offers a 100% nontoxic, eco-friendly Mosquito Control service. The product is effective on mosquitos and ticks, but safe for other animals and the environment.

This can be a great owner operator or semiabsentee franchise model. We have strong marketing strategies and a call center to help our owners convert leads to customers! If you are looking for a recession resistant business, with strong recurring revenue, this could be it! Prime territories are available across the country with exciting incentives for our new owners.

Since 2011, Balloon Kings has brought back the personalization of 70’s and 80’s mom-npop customer service. We’ve then added the mega store inventory of the 90’s & 2000’s. Our inventory consists of 3,000 different balloons, at all times. Completing the circle with a customer’s ability to order online with the option of Same Day Delivery. Now THAT is Service!!!!

With personal dealings of the unreliability from Out-of-Home or lack of customer service from Big-Box ballooning, I opened Balloon Kings to be a local and reliable Balloon Store.

There are more than those that want to admit of personal hardship with the market crash of 2008-09. I can tell that I lost everything & was even working out of parking lots to make ends meet. As fate would have it, I got a second chance and made it through Covid. Let me show you how Balloon Kings with it’s “Secret Sauce” how we made $1.3 million in 2022.

“A Party without a balloon is just a meeting.”

Let’s make the world happy again!

CertaPro Painters® is the largest residential and commercial painting company in North America. You don't need painting or home improvement experience to join us; CertaPro focuses on guiding and leading teams.

Our corporate culture is at the heart of our success, a source of immense pride built on core values. These values define us: delivering on promises, taking pride in our work, respecting every individual we encounter, fostering continuous improvement, and embracing the limitless potential of our brand.

Our unwavering commitment to constant improvement distinguishes us in the service industry. We genuinely care about our franchisees, working to create an environment where their creativity and collaboration are not just welcomed, but celebrated. Our support system goes beyond providing tools and resources; it's about fostering a sense of belonging within a community of like-minded individuals.

Our primary objective is to provide franchisees with the resources and support they need to achieve success.

Carolyn Berry, owner of Clean Colonic, has always been passionate about helping people. But it wasn’t until her own health issues and years of suffering that she turned to colonics for the answer to unlocking the mystery of her own health – leading her down the path to becoming a successful business owner today.

For people that are experiencing gastrointestinal issues, and even ones that aren’t, Colon Hydrotherapy is said to work wonders.

More and more research is showing the gut is the second brain and people are realizing how many other health benefits it offers. We get a lot of people who come in and have no issues; they just wanted to try it because they heard about it. They always are surprised at how much better they feel after. It is life changing.

Weight loss is certainly one benefit because the body can hold onto quite a bit of waste in the large intestine. While the first several sessions generally serve to clear out contents, and clean the pockets and walls of the colon, the real benefit comes after about ten to 12 sessions, which Berry refers to as a “reset”.

But with use comes the need for cleaning and repairs.

If grills haven’t been professionally cleaned within six months, cancer-causing carcinogens left behind by old food and rodent droppings cause real health risks. YUCK! Bar-B-Clean is the mobile home service business that provides a service that customers want done, but don’t want to do themselves – just like window and carpet cleaning!

Our mission is to cheerfully provide children with a joyful, positive, and a nurturing environment so they can experience the joys of dance, self-expression, and movement. With over 10 years of franchising success, Tippi Toes has established proven systems to impact communities across the country. As a 100% mobile curriculumbased business, franchisees launch and scale quickly while experiencing low startup costs.

M14Hoops is the FIRST national basketball development franchise in the country! We offer training and development programs for youth grades K-12 in programming dedicated to teaching transferable basketball and life skills. But guess what? This takes place YEARROUND, so it is NOT a seasonal business! At M14Hoops, we have a variety of recurring revenue opportunities from camps to clinics to team and private training. These athletes see results. So much so that 90% of athletes reenroll in future programs. So, why M14Hoops?

This is not your typical basketball league or team. M14Hoops is built to develop athletes and turn their dreams into reality by focusing on the fundamentals. M14Hoops requires NO build out. How? Franchisees rent or commit to short term leases in local gyms or schools to run programming.

Hallmark Homecare is the only homecare referral agency in franchising! Unlike a traditional homecare agency, the family is the employer of the caregiver and has complete control of the relationship allowing them to make all of the decisions related to their care.

Hallmark Homecare is an industry disruptor as it’s solving challenges that the overregulated, high-cost, unhappy, provider model of traditional senior care faces. Our business model is more profitable than a traditional homecare agency with less overhead and fewer employees. The model is largely unregulated, which means franchisees are not spending as much time with compliance and licensing fees and protracted start-up timeframes.

With the home-based model and two-phase launch programs, franchisees can be operating their business and generating revenue within days. So, why Hallmark Homecare?

Hallmark Homecare is different than ALL other homecare franchises.

As Soccer Stars continues its meteoric rise, its commitment to empowering children through soccer remains unwavering, promising an even broader positive impact in the years ahead.

My City Allstars is a premium youth sports summer day camp that introduces kids to a broad range of sports and activities. It teaches children the value of cooperative team sports and sportsmanship and encourages individual excellence in an atmosphere of healthy competition. Our expert staff modifies activities to enhance the individual skill level of both novice and experienced participants alike.

Our vision is to instill a life-long love of fitness and exercise in all kids. Participants are exposed to a variety of sports and activities that they might not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in, or try. They learn to appreciate all sports, not just the handful of options that may be readily available outside of camp or in which they may already excel. Additionally, “wear and tear” on these young athletes is limited due to the cross-training nature of schedules and variability of activities.

From our beginnings at the corner of Mott and Bayard streets in Lower Manhattan, MK Vision Center emerged from the Mott Optical Group one of the most patient-centric, family-owned and operated optical groups in the New York City area.

Siki Ma, a Chinese immigrant, founded the Mott Optical Group. He believed in the American Dream where anyone can succeed by providing excellent service through forging strong and genuine relationships.

In four decades, the Mott Optical Group grew from one store to nine, spanning four out of the five boroughs of New York City. Each store served its community by carrying out our founder's ethos.

The Mott Optical Group created the MK Vision Center brand in 2010 when we felt our optical stores could serve a broader mission. We now not only provide clear sight through eyewear and vision care services but also aim to inspire your vision.

Rescue Clean 911 is owned and operated by Matt Rillo and Nick Massimino. Matt has years of experience as a licensed insurance agent and Nick is a hazardous materials Captain at the fire department. Rescue Clean 911 is one of the largest and fastest growing restoration companies in South Florida.

The founders of Rescue Clean 911 have over 35 years of experience when dealing with disasters, insurance claims, hazardous materials, HVAC, and remediation services. We pride ourselves on the company’s teamwork, attention to detail, and customer service, as reflected in our “A+” rating on the Better Business Bureau and our 5.0 Star Customer Rating on Google.

As partners in our clients' projects, we uphold values of transparency and integrity. Our primary mission is to fully grasp their vision and needs, putting their objectives ahead of our own.

MULE BOX

BAD DOGS PIZZA

CEO

CEO

www.mulebox.com

www.bigdogspizza.com

Mule Box is an independently owned and operated mobile storage company. We deliver weather-resistant, 16-foot portable storage containers to homes and businesses when they are moving, renovating or needing to secure supplies and equipment onsite. For those moving, we transport the filled container to a desired location or can store it in our climatecontrolled warehouse.

Our founders, Steve and Jack, have both spent their careers making good brands even better.

In that spirit, they recognized an opportunity to create a portable storage brand that customers could better relate to. While there were a few local alternatives to the “big national 800 lb. gorilla,” they didn’t see a brand delivering a true “retail” experience with the capabilities of the national guys and the personal touch of local ownership. The result: Mule Box, a brand stubbornly devoted to bringing portable storage and moving solutions to local neighbors.

Every day the brand gains more fans as Mule Box kicks some much-needed life and personality into the portable storage industry.

Bad Dogs Pizza was established in 1997. The brand is not a copy of any other pizza shop but rather a family owned and developed recipe using the finest ingredients and a passion for the product.

Our pizza truck stands out in our market for great quality pizza and roasted wings with a proven process for speed and accuracy. Other pizza trucks in our industry just simply cannot compete with the process we have developed.

We have the flexibility to feed a festival full of people to and 300 person wedding reception to lunch at an office complex or a grad party in someone's driveway. There are endless possibilities for lunch, dinner and late-night income in any market. Our truck is known as a must have for local large events because most people love pizza! Our lines are consistently the longest and yet quickest to get served with no wait times for slices and under 10 minute wait times for custom items.

Flooring company Floor Crafters is growing quickly and we want you to be a part of our family!

For us, this is personal. Floor Crafters is not designed to be in business for a week, month or even a year.

It’s designed to be a multi-generational business that will be around for many lifetimes.

Our passion is seeing the amazing changes a new wood floor, tiling project, or carpet can make.

The kind of change that beautifies a home, increases functionality, value, and makes customers excited again. That’s what drives us, and combined with years of experience (since 1988) and using industry best practices, our projects result in a level of quality and professionalism that is difficult to match.

We’ve helped countless clients, contractors and designers over the years, and we’re proud of our reputation for superior end product quality, clear-concise-honest communication, and overall customer satisfaction.

And that’s what excites us!
