NOTES

THE DAWN OF A

NEW ERA IN FRANCHISING

E

very successful company you know today—whether it’s a household name like McDonald’s, Subway, or The UPS Store—started off as someone’s dream. What began as a single location with a passionate founder and a big idea grew into the iconic brands we see today. This growth wasn’t magical; it was fueled by ambition, innovation, and a franchising model that allowed visionary entrepreneurs to share their success with others.

We launched Franchise Journal in January 2020 and as we look toward the next four years, there is an undeniable energy in the franchising world. We’re witnessing a surge of new franchise systems, each one uniquely positioned to transform industries, communities, and lives. It’s an exciting time to be part of this world, whether as a franchisee, franchisor, or investor. The future is business-friendly, and the opportunities are ripe for those willing to seize them.

10

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

In this issue we will highlight a number of the new brands that have entered the market with big goals. Who knows, some of these might become the next household name!

A NEW FRONTIER: EV CHARGING AND 4EVERCHARGE One of the most exciting developments in franchising is the rise of brands that address global challenges while offering immense business potential. Take 4EverCharge, for instance. This innovative company is changing the game in the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry. As EV adoption accelerates worldwide, the demand for reliable, accessible charging infrastructure has skyrocketed.

4EverCharge’s franchising model empowers entrepreneurs to step into this booming market with the backing of a company that provides cutting-edge technology, exclusive territorial rights, and partnerships with industry leaders like Bay Electric and Evercharge. What sets 4EverCharge apart is its mission-driven approach: making the world cleaner and safer while offering franchisees the chance to build thriving businesses with 24/7 revenue potential.

The EV charging industry is poised for explosive growth, and 4EverCharge is leading the charge— pun intended. This is the kind of forward-thinking business that exemplifies the best of what franchising can offer: a blend of profitability, innovation, and positive impact.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS: THE IV NUTRITION FRANCHISE Another sector seeing remarkable innovation is health and wellness, a category that has proven resilient even during economic downturns. The IV Nutrition franchise is a standout example of how franchising can tap into emerging trends and consumer needs.

IV Nutrition offers a range of intravenous therapy services designed to boost immunity, enhance athletic performance, and improve overall well-being. In a world increasingly focused on preventative healthcare and selfcare, IV Nutrition provides a compelling value proposition for both clients and franchisees.

What makes this franchise particularly appealing is its adaptability. Franchisees can operate in diverse markets, from urban centers to suburban communities, catering to a wide range of clients—from busy professionals to fitness enthusiasts. For entrepreneurs seeking a business with high growth potential and a meaningful impact on people’s lives, IV Nutrition is a perfect fit.

A COMPASSIONATE OPPORTUNITY: RESTING RAINBOW PET FUNERALS AND CREMATIONS Franchising isn’t just about fast food and fitness—it’s about meeting the needs of communities in unexpected and deeply personal ways. Resting Rainbow Pet Funerals and Cremations is a poignant example of this.

Pets are family, and losing them can be heartbreaking. Resting Rainbow provides compassionate funeral and cremation services for pets, helping families honor and memorialize their beloved companions. This franchise is redefining the pet care industry by addressing an often-overlooked need with sensitivity and care.

For franchisees, this is more than just a business—it’s an opportunity to make a meaningful difference during some of the most difficult moments in a pet owner’s life.

With an emphasis on community engagement and personalized service, Resting Rainbow offers a unique business model that combines profitability with purpose.

FRANCHISING ISN’T JUST ABOUT FAST FOOD AND FITNESS—IT’S ABOUT MEETING THE NEEDS OF COMMUNITIES IN UNEXPECTED AND DEEPLY PERSONAL WAYS. THE BENEFITS OF NEW FRANCHISE SYSTEMS One of the most exciting aspects of these emerging franchise systems is the opportunity they provide to work closely with the founders.

Unlike established franchises where the brand is often managed by large corporate teams, new franchise systems give franchisees direct access to the visionaries behind the brand.

WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM | JANUARY 2025

• Looking for a business with a heart? Resting Rainbow Pet Funerals and Cremations offers a deeply rewarding opportunity.

This diversity reflects the ever-expanding scope of franchising as a business model. It’s no longer limited to restaurants and retail—it’s a platform for innovation, impact, and entrepreneurship.

This proximity allows franchisees to be part of the brand’s early growth story, influencing its trajectory and receiving personalized support.

Founders are deeply invested in the success of their first wave of franchisees, which often translates to enhanced training, guidance, and collaboration. For franchise investors, this level of engagement is invaluable—it means being part of something fresh, dynamic, and full of potential.

Moreover, new franchise systems often come with the advantage of exclusive territories, flexible investment options, and the chance to grow alongside the brand. It’s a rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor of what could become the next big name in franchising.

A DIVERSE RANGE OF OPTIONS What makes this moment in franchising so unique is the sheer diversity of options available.

Whether you’re passionate about sustainability, healthcare, pet care, or even niche markets, there’s a franchise opportunity tailored to your interests and goals.

• Want to make an environmental impact while building a profitable business? Look no further than 4EverCharge.

• Interested in riding the wave of wellness trends? IV Nutrition has you covered.

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

AN OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS As we step into the next four years, the business landscape is brimming with potential. Economic indicators point to a favorable environment for entrepreneurs, with low-interest rates, supportive government policies, and a growing consumer demand for innovative products and services.

For franchise investors, this is a golden opportunity to take advantage of these trends.

Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or a first-time investor, the franchising world offers a proven path to success with the added benefit of mentorship and support.

The rise of new franchise systems is a testament to the resilience and creativity of entrepreneurs.

These systems are not just businesses—they’re vehicles for change, addressing real-world challenges with ingenuity and heart.

JOIN THE FRANCHISING REVOLUTION As we look ahead, one thing is clear: franchising is more than a business strategy—it’s a movement.

It’s a way for dreamers to turn their visions into reality, for investors to build meaningful careers, and for communities to thrive.

At Franchise Journal, we’re thrilled to be part of this journey, shining a light on the incredible opportunities emerging every day. We encourage you to explore the possibilities, connect with founders, and discover how franchising can help you achieve your goals.

The future is bright, the opportunities are endless, and the time to act is now. Let’s dream big, build together, and create a legacy that lasts.

EMERGING BRANDS

Emerging Franchises

The Next Wave of Business Opportunities

by Seth Lederman, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

I

n the world of franchising, established names often dominate headlines, but emerging franchises are carving out their own niche, offering innovative concepts and fresh opportunities for entrepreneurs. From techdriven ventures to sustainable lifestyle brands, these rising stars are reshaping the franchising landscape.

For those looking to invest in the future of business, understanding these trends and evaluating these burgeoning franchises is key.

WHY EMERGING FRANCHISES MATTER Emerging franchises bring innovation, adaptability, and fresh market appeal.

Unlike established chains, they often cater to evolving consumer demands, whether it’s prioritizing sustainability, embracing technology, or focusing on underserved markets. By tapping into current trends, these franchises provide a unique opportunity for early adopters to get in on the ground floor of potentially lucrative ventures.

Investing in an emerging f ranchise comes with several advantages. Many newer f ranchises have lower f ranchise fees and startup costs compared to established brands. With limited locations, early f ranchisees often enjoy larger territories and less competition. Finally, being part of a franchise’s early stages allows f ranchisees to grow alongside the brand and influence its development.

However, potential investors must weigh these benefits against the risks associated with newer businesses, such as less established track records and market uncertainties.

TRENDS DRIVING EMERGING FRANCHISES Several key trends are shaping the rise of emerging franchises: • Health and Wellness: The pandemic heightened awareness of health and wellness, spurring demand for franchises offering fitness, mental health, and nutritional services.

• Sustainability: Consumers increasingly favor ecofriendly businesses, pushing franchises to adopt green practices and offer sustainable products.

18

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

• Tech Integration: Franchises leveraging technology—from appbased services to AI-driven operations—are attracting tech-savvy entrepreneurs.

• Personalization and Customization: Consumers value tailored experiences, prompting franchises to offer personalized products and services.

MAKING LIVE MUSIC TRANSPARENT, EFFICIENT, AND PROFITABLE TuneHatch is on a mission to transform the live music industry. The franchise’s endto-end platform simplifies the complex processes behind booking, promoting, and running shows— empowering independent venues, promoters, and artists to thrive. From managing ticket sales (online or at the door) to ensuring accurate payouts, TuneHatch eliminates inefficiencies while boosting transparency and profitability for all parties.

Christal Hector, Co-Founder and CEO, founded TuneHatch after witnessing the financial

struggles of talented musicians in Nashville. While pursuing a songwriting career and studying at Vanderbilt University, she realized live performances offered the greatest earning potential for smaller artists. TuneHatch was born to provide an ecosystem that supports musicians while equally benefiting venues and promoters.

TuneHatch streamlines show management by integrating: • Booking: Simplify the process of finding and securing acts.

• Promotion: Efficient tools to spread the word about upcoming events.

• Ticketing: Manage online and door sales with ease.

• Payouts: Transparent and automated payment processes.

Powered by predictive analytics, the emerging franchise’s tech-driven platform helps users maximize show profitability. While TuneHatch focuses on enabling collaboration, fans also benefit from betterorganized events and seamless ticketing.

WHY FRANCHISE WITH TUNEHATCH? TuneHatch offers a unique opportunity for music and entertainment enthusiasts who want to make an impact. Its semi-passive franchise model allows franchisees to onboard venues in their territories and earn royalties from ticket sales indefinitely. Franchisees play a critical role in building relationships with venues and ensuring they get the most out of TuneHatch’s platform.

Key benefits include: • Low Time Commitment: Minimal ongoing responsibilities after onboarding venues— monthly check-ins suffice.

• Generous Revenue Sharing: Franchisees earn 45% of revenue generated by ticket sales in their territory, whether they onboard the venue or not.

• Affordable Startup Costs: A one-time franchise fee of $50,000 with no additional expenses.

• Comprehensive Training: Remote training is available, with an option to train in Nashville.

WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM | JANUARY 2025

19

f ranchise’s mission, values, and business model align with your goals and interests.

Territory sizes are populationbased, averaging 1-2 million people, though TuneHatch offers flexibility to fit franchisees’ needs. With a quick sales cycle, onboarding venues is straightforward, and TuneHatch’s system does the heavy lifting from there.

TuneHatch officially launched in May 2024, following a successful beta and recognition as one of Nashville’s best startups. The company has sold over 44,000 tickets and processed $1 million in transactions, proving the platform’s value for independent venues and artists.

The franchise model is ideal for individuals with a passion for live music and basic sales skills. By joining TuneHatch, franchisees help create a sustainable ecosystem for live music while earning passive income.

20

WHAT TO CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING While emerging franchises can offer exciting opportunities, potential investors should evaluate several factors before committing. Assess whether the franchise’s concept meets a genuine market need and has growth potential in your target area. Review the franchise’s financial performance and ensure it has the resources to support expansion.

Emerging franchises should provide robust training programs and ongoing support to help f ranchisees succeed. Determine what sets the franchise apart from competitors and whether it has a strong value proposition. It is also important to ensure the

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

THE FUTURE OF EMERGING FRANCHISES As consumer needs evolve, emerging franchises will continue to lead the charge in innovation. For aspiring entrepreneurs, investing in an emerging franchise is not just about financial gains but also about being part of a dynamic, forward-thinking business movement. By conducting thorough due diligence and aligning with a franchise that matches their vision, today’s investors can shape the franchises of tomorrow.

The world of emerging franchises is ripe with opportunity. Whatever your passion, there’s likely an innovative franchise that aligns with your interests and goals.

With the right approach, you can become a key player in the next wave of business success.

EMERGING BRANDS

Davis Tarwater: From Olympic Gold Medal Winner To Multi Unit Franchisee

by Rick Morgin, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

DAVIS TARWATER is a franchisee of Streamline Brands, who franchise a variety of swim schools including SafeSplash + Swim Labs swim schools. Davis is a multi-unit owner of Swim Labs Swim Schools.

WHEN DID YOU EXPERIENCE A NEED TO DEVELOP YOUR SWIM EDUCATION BUSINESS? I had a background in the sport of from a very young age. Swimming has always been a significant passion in my life. As a college athlete at the University of Michigan, I was elected team captain my senior year and was a three24

time national champion. After spending most of my twenties as a pro- athlete, my career culminated by winning a gold medal in the 4x200 freestyle relay at the London Olympics.

After a brief-stint working in an asset management firm, I did a great deal of research in the markets in which I am located and found that swim lessons that were both convenient in terms of location, easy to schedule and could be conducted over an extended duration of time (rather than seasonal session-based options), were in short supply.

So, after further examination, I felt that the fastest way to scale was to partner with an existing franchise organization to put a large-scale development plan in place. To that end, I have been extremely happy with the decision to go the franchise route with my partners at Streamline Brands and to offer industry leading expertise as the company has grown.

HOW LONG HAS SOUTHEASTERN SWIM SCHOOLS BEEN IN BUSINESS? Our company, Southeastern Swim Schools, which has area rights to develop, SafeSplash + Swim Labs Swim Schools,

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

has been in business since 2019. In fact, we initially began teaching out of a hotel pool. However, in January of 2020, we opened our first brick and mortar location in Knoxville, TN, followed shortly by 2 more in the Nashville area. There were significant challenges during the COVID timeframe in terms of both construction and operations. However, we were able to weather that storm and are embarking on a new wave of development.

HOW MANY LOCATIONS DO YOU HAVE OPERATING AND IN WHICH AREA OF THE COUNTRY? We have 3 locations currently open: Knoxville, TN, Franklin, TN and Nashville, TN. We are on track to open our fourth location in Simpsonville, SC this coming January.

HOW DO ADULT AND CHILD STUDENTS FIND YOU? We employ a variety of different marketing strategies to drive traffic to our website.

Through a combination of digital advertising, local partnerships and traditional local, grassroots efforts, we

have been successful in educating our communities of the fact that learning to swim is not simply a seasonal pursuit, but something that needs to be done on a more consistent basis, much like learning a new language, to develop longterm mastery of the skill.

WHAT CERTIFICATIONS DO YOUR INSTRUCTORS HAVE? Our teachers have both traditional certifications in lifeguarding and CPR in addition to our in-house curriculum certification which takes a great deal of time, and our team takes great pride in.

Additionally, we review our staff on a quarterly basis to ensure they are adhering to the highest possible level of both safety and curriculum delivery.

WHO IS YOUR COMPETITION? Currently, the competition in the space is a little varied, but the industry in general is becoming far more consolidated with more national brands emerging and franchised operators getting into the industry. Additionally, the competitive landscape is interspersed with operators who might rent pool space, as well as YMCAs, health clubs etc.

However, what we are seeing now is an interesting shift in the industry away from competing solely with YMCAs, health clubs, etc. to competing with other franchise operators from different brands.

WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR YOUR COMPANY OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS? Over the next few years, we

hope to continue to grow in terms of units opened, as well as continue to deepen our roots in the communities in which we operate by being a good partners and exceeding expectations with the families we have the pleasure of serving. While we learned a great deal of resilience and creativity opening this business during COVID, our hope is that we see a more normalized environment moving forward that is conducive to growth.

It has been a really fulfilling journey not only to see very

young children, daily, recognize a great sense of achievement, but also to create jobs and see the personal and professional development of our staff. We think the future looks bright and our team is excited for the challenges that lie ahead.

Let’s dive into the trends and brands paving the way for 2025.

1. SUSTAINABILITY AT THE CORE The drive for sustainability is no longer optional— it’s essential. Consumers

FEATURED FRANCHISE: 4EVERCHARGE 4EverCharge is revolutionizing the electric vehicle (EV) charging station sector. This franchise offers entrepreneurs the ability to dominate their local market by owning exclusive rights to strategically place EV charging stations throughout their territory.

Developed in partnership with Bay Electric Company and EverCharge, a subsidiary of the SK Group, 4EverCharge equips f ranchisees with cutting-edge technology and robust support systems.

The timing couldn’t be better. As EV adoption accelerates and government

For environmentally conscious investors seeking a high-demand, high-growth opportunity, 4EverCharge delivers a win-win: profitability and a meaningful contribution to a cleaner planet.

2. TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN INNOVATION Technology continues to redefine how businesses operate and serve their customers. From AI to robotics, tech-driven franchises are reshaping the future workforce and unlocking new opportunities.

FEATURED FRANCHISE: ROBOTLABS RobotLabs is blazing a trail as

the world’s first robot franchise.

With over 30 million business robots already in use and a projected 100-fold market growth by the end of the decade, RobotLabs positions franchisees at the cutting edge of automation and AI innovation.

Driven by labor shortages and the need for efficiency, demand for robotics has never been higher. Franchisees receive extensive support to meet this demand, while businesses across industries increasingly adopt robotic solutions. For investors passionate about technology and its transformative potential, RobotLabs offers a chance to lead in a sector poised for explosive growth.

3. COMMUNITY IMPACT AND PURPOSE-DRIVEN MODELS Brands that combine profitability with purpose are captivating both consumers and franchisees.

By addressing pressing social and environmental issues, these franchises create meaningful community impact while achieving business success.

FEATURED FRANCHISE: CONSERVA IRRIGATION Conserva Irrigation® exemplifies how purpose and profitability can align.

Rooted in water conservation,

this brand offers sustainable irrigation solutions for residential and commercial properties. Its innovative techniques reduce water usage by up to 60%, delivering lush landscapes while significantly lowering costs.

As the first nationally branded irrigation franchise, Conserva provides franchisees with the support of a largescale operation while fostering local ecosystem sustainability.

Sitting down with us, this dynamic coach paints a vivid picture of his professional landscape, which is as diverse as it is impactful.

His approach to business development is equally innovative. In our conversation, he outlines how he assists companies in optimizing profit margins organically and building robust corporate credit scores— achievements he assures can be accomplished in less than 180 days, a feat many would consider ambitious.

"It's about creating a path where there was none," he asserts with confidence. His methodical yet empathetic guidance offers businesses the tools to accelerate sales growth within a mere 90 days.

But his influence extends beyond the boardroom. As a prison minister and keynote speaker, he brings creativity and biblical wisdom to the fore, impacting lives on a deeply personal level. "My work as a prison minister is about redemption and hope," he shares poignantly.

"Everyone deserves the chance to become the best version of themselves that GOD has created them to be. It’s about showing them the path that aligns with their true purpose."

He has also published multiple works, each a testament to his commitment to sharing knowledge and inspiring change. His books, infused with realworld insights and spiritual guidance, serve as a beacon for those navigating the complexities of modern life.

"Writing allows me to reach individuals I might never meet otherwise," he reflects. "It’s a way to extend my message of inspiration and transformation beyond physical boundaries.

Which is the very foundation of Metaphysics of which I have a doctorate in."

As our conversation draws to a close, his parting words resonate with the fervor of

a mission-driven leader: "I am here to serve. I am here to inspire. LET’S GO, and let's GROW together." His enthusiasm is infectious, and his resolve, unshakeable. In a world hungry for genuine leadership and innovation, he stands ready to guide others toward a future brimming with potential and promise.

BUSINESS ADVICE

Understanding Your Psychological Capital in Entrepreneurship

by Terra Utter, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

E

veryone understands financial capital and even human capital, but the term psychological capital is fairly new and under-researched. However, it is a vital component of characteristics that we are not born with but can develop and strengthen over time. In the world of entrepreneurship, the journey often feels like a rollercoaster ride, filled with ups, downs, and unexpected twists. As entrepreneurs, we are constantly challenged with decision-making, risk management, and the pursuit of innovation. However, one aspect that often goes unnoticed is the importance of understanding our own psychological capital. This concept plays a pivotal role in shaping our mindset, resilience, and ultimately, our success in the entrepreneurial landscape.

of entrepreneurship. By cultivating and understanding these traits, we can enhance our performance, improve our well-being, and foster a thriving business environment.

Self-Efficacy (a.k.a. selfconfidence): This is our belief in our ability to execute tasks and achieve goals. As entrepreneurs, self-efficacy empowers us to tackle challenges head-on. It drives us to take risks, explore new opportunities, and persist in the face of adversity. When we believe in our capabilities, we are more likely to take initiative

WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL? Psychological capital, often referred to as PsyCap, comprises four key components: self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and resilience.

Each of these elements contributes to our ability to navigate the complexities 36

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

and innovate, which is crucial in a competitive market.

Optimism: Optimism is the tendency to expect positive outcomes. In entrepreneurship, optimism fuels our passion and motivation. It enables us to envision success, even when the road ahead is fraught with obstacles. An optimistic entrepreneur tends to inspire their team, create a positive work culture, and attract customers who resonate with their vision.

Hope: Hope is the belief that we can find pathways to our goals and that we have the

motivation to pursue them. In the entrepreneurial context, hope encourages us to set ambitious goals and develop actionable plans to achieve them. It fosters creativity, enabling us to think outside the box and pivot when necessary. When we embrace hope, we become more adaptable and open to change, which is essential in a rapidly evolving business landscape.

Resilience: Resilience is our ability to bounce back from setbacks and challenges.

Entrepreneurship is inherently risky, and failures are part of the journey. Resilient entrepreneurs view failures as learning opportunities rather than insurmountable obstacles. They understand that setbacks are temporary and use them as stepping stones to future success.

By nurturing resilience, we cultivate a mindset that embraces challenges, allowing us to persevere and thrive.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF-REFLECTION Understanding our psychological capital requires a commitment to self-reflection.

As entrepreneurs, we often focus on external factors such as market trends, competition, and financial metrics. However, taking the time to introspect and assess our psychological strengths and weaknesses can lead to profound insights.

Self-reflection allows us to identify areas where we may need improvement, recognize patterns in our behavior, and celebrate our achievements.

By regularly evaluating our psychological capital, we can make informed decisions about

our growth and development.

It also helps us understand how our mindset influences our actions and, ultimately, our business outcomes.

HOW TO BUILD AND NURTURE YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL The journey toward understanding and enhancing our psychological capital is ongoing. Understanding that the following list is by no means a comprehensive list, it does give you a place to start.

BY REGULARLY EVALUATING OUR PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL, WE CAN MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT OUR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. Here are some strategies to cultivate these essential traits: • Set Realistic Goals: Break down your long-term vision into manageable shortterm goals. This process not only boosts self-efficacy but also fosters a sense of accomplishment as you achieve these milestones.

• Practice Gratitude: Cultivating an attitude of gratitude can enhance optimism. Take time each day to reflect on what you are thankful for, whether it’s a supportive team, a

loyal customer, or a lesson learned from a setback.

• Seek Support: Surround yourself with a network of mentors, peers, and supporters who can provide encouragement and guidance. Engaging in discussions about your experiences can foster hope and resilience.

• Develop Coping Strategies: Identify healthy coping mechanisms to deal with stress and setbacks. This can include mindfulness practices, exercise, or creative outlets that allow you to recharge and refocus.

Understanding and enhancing our psychological capital is crucial for success in entrepreneurship. By recognizing the significance of self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and resilience, we can empower ourselves to navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship with confidence and determination. Investing in our psychological well-being not only benefits us as individuals but also enhances the overall health of our businesses. As we continue our entrepreneurial journeys, let’s prioritize selfreflection and actively cultivate our psychological capital to unlock our full potential.

A NEW PARADIGM IN WELLNESS Evolve introduces the world’s first open-access social wellness playground, a groundbreaking concept that empowers

approach fosters a communitycentric environment where members can connect with like-minded individuals, transforming wellness routines into social experiences.

COMPREHENSIVE WELLNESS MODALITIES At Evolve, members have

access to over 20 biohacking modalities designed to enhance physical and mental well-being. These services include Norwegian and infrared saunas, cold plunge and contrast therapy, cognitive and neurotraining, vibration and inversion therapy, compression sleeves, red light therapy, and more. The facility is often described as a “wellness playground,” offering a space where individuals can build personalized routines and enjoy the experience with friends and family.

MEMBERSHIP-BASED MODEL Evolve’s membership-based system offers flexibility and affordability, addressing the common issues of high costs and scheduling constraints in traditional wellness centers.

Members can choose between day passes and monthly memberships, granting them unlimited access to all services without the need for appointments. This model encourages consistent use of wellness modalities, which we call BioHabits™.

Evolve Human Optimization Labs offers a compelling franchise opportunity for individuals passionate about wellness and interested in innovative business models.

The startup investment ranges from $394,000 to $660,000, with an initial franchise fee of $40,000. Exclusive equipment pricing is available for franchisees, and financing options can be explored. The membership-based model ensures consistent revenue, and the low staffing and inventory requirements contribute to operational efficiency.

IDEAL FRANCHISE OWNER PROFILE Evolve seeks franchise owners who believe in the power of BioHabits™ and are enthusiastic about being part of a movement that transforms lives. Ideal

candidates may include personal trainers, physical therapists, chiropractors, aspiring entrepreneurs with an interest in wellness, and existing franchise owners in the self-care or personal care sectors. A passion for wellness, biohacking, and workout recovery is essential.

Additionally, inventory is minimal, limited primarily to retail merchandise in demand from members, further streamlining operations.

estlake, Florida residents Omar Garcia and Vanessa ChoyMontalvo are enjoying their new careers as franchisees of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors®. Team Garcia services the expansive county of Palm Beach. Omar and Vanessa bring a wealth of experience, and a strong skill set to their new role, ensuring the highest standards in home inspection services.

After spending several years in the banking industry Omar realized he was ready for a change. While he enjoyed the structured environment and trust-building aspects of his previous job, he sought greater independence and control over his career. The decision to transition to home inspection was not made lightly, but it was driven by a desire to leverage his skills in a new and impactful way.

The couple’s decision to join the Pillar To Post Home Inspectors network marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in their professional lives. With their backgrounds in banking, they bring a unique skill set that is perfectly suited to the demands of home inspections. Their commitment to detail, financial acumen, and

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

customer service sets them apart in the industry.

Shared Omar, “In banking, attention to detail is paramount. Financial transactions, policies, and compliance requires meticulous scrutiny. This precision is equally crucial in-home inspections, where the ability to spot minor issues before they escalate into major problems is essential.

Our banking backgrounds equip us with a keen eye for detail, ensuring that nothing is overlooked during inspections.”

Managing finances is a critical aspect of running a successful business. Omar’s experience in banking has endowed him with a deep understanding of budgeting, cash flow management, and financial planning. These skills are instrumental in maintaining the profitability and sustainability of their home inspection business.

In addition, continued Omar, “Building and maintaining long-term relationships with clients is at the heart of the banking industry. I have honed my ability to establish trust and rapport with clients, a skill that is equally vital in the home inspection business.

Commitment to exceptional customer service will be a

cornerstone of our business, fostering strong relationships with homeowners and buyers.”

In home inspection, Omar found an opportunity to apply his analytical mindset to help homeowners and buyers make informed decisions. The ability to provide valuable insights and ensure the integrity of a property aligns with his passion for meticulous work and customer service.

Pillar To Post inspired the couple to join as franchisees because it offered them the best of both worlds: the freedom to run their business with the backing of a proven system, support, and a trusted, well-established brand. The franchise provides access to marketing tools and training that can accelerate their growth and enhance client service.

Amongst the key factors that attracted Omar and Vanessa to Pillar To Post were technological innovations the company introduced during and after the COVID period. These innovations enhance accuracy, efficiency, and reporting, giving inspectors a completive edge.

They were also attracted to the comprehensive support and training provided by the franchise. The training program ensures that franchisees are well-prepared to deliver top-notch home inspection services from day one. This support system is invaluable for new business owners, providing a solid foundation for success.

Effective marketing is essential for business growth, and Pillar To Post equips its

franchisees with a suite of marketing tools to promote their services. From online advertising to community outreach, Omar and Vanessa will have the resources they need to build a strong presence in Palm Beach County and beyond.

EMERGING BRAND

Pioneering the Future of EV Charging Through Innovation and Partnership The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is transforming transportation, with projections showing 30 million EVs on U.S. roads by 2030—a staggering leap from today’s figures. However, this growth presents a critical challenge: the need for 28 million EV chargers to support these vehicles. 4EverCharge, a trailblazer in EV infrastructure, is addressing this gap with visionary leadership, cutting-edge technology, and powerful partnerships. By leveraging a unique franchising model, 4EverCharge is building the backbone of sustainable transportation while creating opportunities for local entrepreneurs.

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

MEETING THE EV CHARGING CHALLENGE The rise of EVs is driven by consumer demand, government mandates, and the need for environmental sustainability. In 2024, the U.S. surpassed 6% EV market penetration—a key milestone signaling mainstream adoption. Yet, with only 140,000 public charging ports nationwide, the infrastructure to support this surge lags far behind. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates the need for 20 million Level 2 chargers and 8 million DC fast chargers to meet future demand.

For 4EverCharge, this shortfall represents an unprecedented business opportunity. By combining innovative technology with decades of industry expertise, the company is ensuring EV adoption isn’t limited by inadequate charging infrastructure.

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS: A COMPETITIVE EDGE At the heart of 4EverCharge’s success are its partnerships with industry leaders EverCharge, SK Group, and Bay Electric Co. These collaborations bring unparalleled expertise and technology to the EV charging market.

EVERCHARGE: SMART TECHNOLOGY AT SCALE With over 11,000 EV chargers installed nationwide, EverCharge’s SmartPower technology revolutionizes power distribution, enabling multiple vehicles to charge simultaneously without overloading the grid.

This intelligent approach maximizes efficiency and minimizes costs, making scalable EV infrastructure a reality for urban, workplace, and residential settings. For 4EverCharge franchisees, EverCharge provides access to proven, world-class solutions trusted by Fortune 500 companies.

SK GROUP: A GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY POWERHOUSE As the parent company of EverCharge, SK Group brings global vision, strategic guidance, and advanced manufacturing capabilities. Their $2.6 billion investment in Georgia underscores their commitment to clean energy and the EV future. SK Group’s expertise in renewable energy and battery manufacturing aligns perfectly with 4EverCharge’s mission, enabling rapid and sustainable growth.

BAY ELECTRIC CO.: A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE With 65 years of experience in electrical contracting, Bay Electric Co. is the operational backbone of 4EverCharge. Under the leadership of CEO John Biagas, Bay Electric ensures every EV charging installation meets the highest standards. From government projects to private sector initiatives, their precision and reliability are unmatched.

VISIONARY LEADERSHIP DRIVING INNOVATION 4EverCharge is led by John Biagas, a seasoned expert in electrical infrastructure who also serves as CEO of Bay Electric Co. Biagas is committed to building a sustainable EV charging ecosystem that benefits everyone, from drivers to local businesses.

“4EverCharge is about more than just chargers—it’s about empowering communities to embrace the EV revolution,” says Biagas. “Our franchising model combines cuttingedge technology with local entrepreneurship to create a network that drives real change.”

Supporting this mission is General Anthony Tata, a retired U.S. Army general and former Undersecretary of Defense.

EMERGING BRANDS

Ask the RESULTS Guy : Are You Designing Your Own Life? ™

by Tony Jeary, Strategist, Keynoter, Coach, Tony Jeary International

M

any people want success, and only a small fraction take the necessary steps to achieve it. One of the most powerful actions you can take is writing down your goals. Yet, for many people, goal setting is an overlooked Blind Spot for getting the clarity needed for success. If you’re serious about designing your own life, goal setting is the foundation; here’s some key strategies from my book Designing Your Own Life that can help you align your values, goals, and actions for extraordinary results.

Q: Tony, you’ve mentioned

you have more written goals than anyone you’ve ever met. Can you tell us about your goal-setting journey?

That’s true! I have 150 pages of written goals, and goal setting has been a driving force in my life. Years ago, my coach told me there was someone who had more goals than me—Peter Thomas. Naturally, I had to meet him. I studied his goals, added some of them to my own, and eventually ended

112

up with more goals than him! Peter and I became best friends and even co-authored a book together, Business Ground Rules. He is also my partner in super growing Dogtopia as we pursue our original goal of making it a billion-dollar company. Every year, we meet multiple times as mastermind partners to sharpen each other’s goals and strategies. The results have been incredible.

This journey taught me the value of intentional goal setting and designing a life you love. How about you? Are you taking the time to design your life? If not, you should be.

Q: Tony, what makes

goal setting so essential to success?

Goal setting isn’t just about having aspirations—it’s about creating clarity and direction in your life and your business. Writing your goals down transforms them from vague ideas into tangible targets. It’s also scientifically supported by how your brain works. The Reticular Activating System (RAS)—a

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

set of nerves in the back of your brain—plays a crucial role. Your RAS filters what you focus on and what you notice in your environment. When you’re clear about your goals, your RAS helps you attract opportunities and resources that align with what you want to achieve.

In Designing Your Own Life, I explain that goals should be tied to your values. Start by identifying 6 to 10 core values that matter most to you. Then, build goals around those values, and align your daily actions—particularly your High Leverage Activities (HLAs)—with those goals.

This alignment ensures that you’re not just busy, you’re busy doing the right things to achieve the success you want.

Q: Tony, what are the key

components of effective goal setting?

Effective goal setting has three major components, and they all work together to help you succeed:

1.

WRITE IT DOWN Writing clarifies your vision, commits your intentions, and makes your goals tangible. Plus, the act of writing engages your mind in ways that thinking alone doesn’t.

2. VISUALIZE IT Visualization means mentally seeing yourself achieving your goals. This primes your mind for success and reinforces your belief that your goals are achievable. When you visualize, your brain starts identifying ways to make it happen.

3. SELF-TALK Congruent self-talk is critical. Your internal dialogue needs to support your goals, not sabotage them. Positive, reinforcing self-talk aligns your mindset with your aspirations and helps overcome doubts or fears.

When all three components— writing, visualization, and selftalk—are aligned, they create a powerful synergy that drives your actions and accelerates your success.

Q: Tony, how can

someone start designing their own life?

Start by getting clear about what you truly value. Once you’ve identified your top values, write them down and use them as a foundation for setting your goals. Then, create specific, actionable goals tied to those values. Finally, break those goals into daily actions, focusing on your High Leverage Activities—those tasks that have the biggest impact on achieving your objectives.

Another tip: take time to reflect and refine your goals regularly. Peter Thomas and I do this every year during our mastermind sessions, and it

Returning Home to Start a Legacy Business, This Couple

Dove into the Booming Home Improvement Segment with Floor Coverings International

by Rhonda Sanderson, CEO, Sanderson & Associates

F

loor Coverings International surely attracts couples who have had professional careers for a couple of decades, and they are now ready to combine their rich skillsets and work together on something of their own. Chip Dozier and his wife Katie are such a couple.

They opened Floor Coverings International of Midtown St. Louis in April. Katie, who serves

144

as the administrative and business professional, and Chip, who manages the rest, have been showcasing FCI’s extensive collection of over 3,000 flooring samples to homeowners in their territory since opening and the customer feedback has been “fantastic” according to Chip.

What sets Floor Coverings International apart from traditional flooring retailers is their unique mobile showroom.

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

This innovative approach brings everything a customer might need directly to their doorstep, including flooring samples, installation options, and scheduling services.

This eliminates the need for customers to visit big box stores, where they often struggle to find assistance in the flooring section.

Chip Dozier brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to his flooring business.

With a decadelong career as an Anesthesiologist Assistant, Chip has honed his ability to earn trust quickly, a skill he finds invaluable in his latest role.

Reflecting on his career shift, Chip explains, “The pandemic was a turning point for me. I faced pay cuts and hazardous situations, and the healthcare system’s focus seemed to shift away from patient care. It was time to look for an exciting new career.

I could also retain my freelance career in Anesthesiology.

Floor Coverings International’s culture and commitment to excellent customer service inspired me to join as a franchisee.”

Both Chip and Katie were born and raised in the St. Louis area. They were excited to start this new chapter together.

“We’re a couple of St. Louis kids who left for a bit and came back to start a family,” Chip shares. “Katie, with her exceptional business skills, took the leap with me, and we’re thrilled to build a brand our family can be proud of.”

Floor Coverings International of Midtown STL is not just about convenience; it’s also about staying ahead of the latest trends in the flooring industry. Chip is particularly excited about the resurgence of laminate flooring and the trend of bringing hardwoods back to their original natural colors.

While clients see the distinctive Floor Coverings International Mobile Flooring Showroom pull up to their residence, what they don’t see or might not realize, is what an industry juggernaut Floor Coverings International has become as evidenced by its record-breaking growth.

FCI had its strongest development year in the

company’s 36-year history in 2023, awarding 95 franchises covering more than 160 territories, marking a 50 percent increase in units added compared to 2022. Continuing where it left off, FCI signed 19 new franchisees in the recordbreaking first quarter of 2024, marking a 90 percent growth increase compared to Q1 of 2023, putting it on track to its goal of awarding 100 new franchises this year.

With Floor Coverings International having already revolutionized the market, the flooring industry is undergoing significant changes and innovations, as well, as consumers demand more quality, variety, and sustainability in their flooring choices. What’s more, according to real estate company FastExpert, new flooring can make homes more appealing to potential buyers when looking to sell.

According to statistics from the National Association of Realtors, 54 percent of house purchasers are inclined to shell out additional money for homes with hardwood floors, amounting to an extra $2,080, reported FastExpert.

“The average cost for installing hardwood floors is around $4$6 per square foot. But, doing so can increase home value

by three percent to five percent on average, making it a wise investment for those looking to sell. For example, if your home is valued at $500,000, installing hardwood floors could increase its value by $15,000 to $25,000, providing a substantial return on investment,” FastExpert reported.

“We’re excited about the future and the opportunity to bring high-quality flooring to our community,” Chip says. “Whether it’s the latest in laminate flooring, natural hardwoods, or sustainable options, we’re here to help our customers find the perfect flooring for their homes.”

Floor Coverings International of Midtown STL is not just a business; it’s a family endeavor that reflects the Dozier’s dedication to their community and their passion for helping homeowners create beautiful and functional spaces. With their innovative approach and commitment to excellence, they are sure to make a lasting impact on the St. Louis flooring industry.

Reimagining Fast-Food One Noodle at a Time

PastaNito is a new

franchise that is making waves in the industry one little fresh noodle at a time. At PastaNito, fresh, high-quality pasta dishes are prepared in front of customers, combining the convenience of fast service with the authenticity of traditional cuisine. Thanks to founder Toni Calderone’s signature pasta noodle, dishes are sautéed to order and ready within minutes. This innovation not only delights customers but also challenges the age-old notion that fast food must compromise on

156

quality or freshness.

To say restaurants run in Calderone’s blood is an understatement. When her grandparents emigrated from Sicily to the US in the 1950’s, they opened the first pizzeria in York, Pennsylvania. There they taught local diners how to hold a slice and nourished their passion for bringing people together around the table. Her family went on to start other pizza shops, a donut store, a grocery, and more. This entrepreneurial spirit continued through the generations, as her father

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

developed his own Italian restaurant concept in Florida, where Calderone grew up.

From an early age, she was engrossed in the intricacies of the restaurant business.

Family conversations revolved around operational efficiency and growth opportunities. At just 14 years old, she took her first job at McDonald’s, gaining valuable hands-on experience in the workings of a successful franchise. This early exposure fueled her desire to follow in her family’s path and carve her own way in the industry.

With determination embedded in her character, Calderone honed her skills in fine dining, which led to the opening of her first restaurant: Tutoni’s, a farm-to-table fine dining establishment, in 2014.

To streamline operations and improve kitchen efficiency, Calderone developed her proprietary fresh pasta noodle that cooks in just three minutes—a fraction of the typical 13-minute cooking time for dried pasta. This breakthrough innovation became the foundation for her future endeavors.

Recognizing the potential of her signature noodle, Calderone expanded her reach by launching the Riga-toni food truck in 2018. The truck operated successfully for five years, offering locals a much-needed dining option

during the pandemic and selling pasta and sauces for home cooking. The food truck bridged the gap between fine dining and a more accessible, family-friendly experience.

Building on this success, Calderone established a fast-casual dining concept called Presto Fast Italian in 2019. By leveraging the economic challenges of the pandemic, she negotiated discounted leases, allowing her to expand her business quickly and strategically. She also tested the Presto concept in a variety of store sizes and models to zero in on the ideal setup for scalability and efficiency. In 2024 in order to begin franchising, Presto Fast Italian was rebranded as PastaNito, a quick-service, build-your-own pasta concept

that encapsulates Calderone’s vision of quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

“I’ve removed all the variables of what it means to operate a restaurant and made it easy to execute the concept—no chef required,” says Calderone.

A key pillar of PastaNito is giving back to the communities in which it serves. The “Pasta Lovers Unite” program brings neighbors together and makes sure that the less fortunate are fed. Through partnerships with local organizations, hosting community fundraisers, and an in-store “pay it forward” option, PastaNito aims to create connections that go beyond the plate. The Noodle Fund empowers each local store to support a nonprofit in

their area that serves food to community members in need.

Calderone’s industry experience, innovative mindset, and determination to perfect her model have positioned PastaNito as an exciting new franchise option.

By eliminating complexity and focusing on efficiency, she has created a concept that is easy to operate while maintaining the integrity of the food and nourishing the community.

The world of franchising is noticing, too: Calderone was named a Top 50 Woman of Wonder in franchising for 2024 and the concept at large was named in a list of 100 Game Changers by Franchise Dictionary Magazine.

PastaNito represents the culmination of Calderone’s lifelong journey in the restaurant industry. From her family’s legacy to her own groundbreaking innovations, she has built a fast-casual pasta concept that blends tradition with modern convenience, ensuring its place as a staple in the fast-casual dining landscape.

Tip Top K9: The Anti-Dog Whisperer Revolutionizing Dog Training

H

ave you ever dreamed of letting your dog run freely in the park without worrying if she’ll listen to your commands? Forget everything you’ve heard about “dog whispering” and its magical effects. Ryan Wimpey, the founder of Tip Top K9, is turning traditional dog training methods upside down. His growing franchise offers a fresh approach to dog training that focuses on structure, consistency, and proven, science-based techniques. Best of all, it’s a method anyone, from nine to 99 years old, can learn to use.

Wimpey explains that the

160

Tip Top K9 method is different from traditional dog training, which often relies on rewards and punishments. Instead, Tip Top K9 uses a technique based on classical conditioning. This method focuses on making positive connections through repeatable actions that anyone can follow and apply.

“Our goal is to empower dog owners,” says Ryan Wimpey.

“You don’t need to be a socalled dog whisperer to have a well-behaved dog. What you need is a clear, effective system that you can use consistently. That’s what Tip Top K9 is all about.”

The Tip Top K9 training method works for almost all dogs—no matter their breed, age, or behavioral problems. This includes dogs that other trainers might call “untrainable.” With techniques that emphasize structure, repetition, and clear

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

communication, Tip Top K9 trainers often achieve faster and more reliable results than traditional methods.

“Our system is simple and effective,” Wimpey adds. “In just 20-30 minutes, we teach the dog owner how to handle their dog like a professional trainer. After just a couple of lessons, our clients can see their dog off-leash in their own yard.”

While some trainers rely on intuition and dominance theory, Tip Top K9’s method is based on well-known psychological principles.

Classical conditioning is all about creating associations between a certain trigger and a behavior. This method works not only in dog training but in many other areas of psychology too.

Tip Top K9’s approach is proving successful, which is why the franchise is

expanding quickly. The company now has locations in states like Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, Utah, Tennessee, and Michigan, and it continues to get great reviews.

“We’re proud to be one of the top-rated dog training companies on Google in every state where we operate,” says Wimpey.

What makes Tip Top K9 stand out is its focus on a reliable system rather than relying on the personality of individual trainers. This consistency across all locations means the quality of training is always high, and customers can expect great results no matter where they are.

The success of Tip Top K9 isn’t just about helping dogs; it’s also about the people who open Tip Top K9 franchises.

Many of the franchisees come from backgrounds that have nothing to do with dogs, yet they’ve found success by following Tip Top K9’s method.

Take Seth Flint, for example.

Before becoming a Tip Top K9 franchise owner, Seth was a youth pastor with no business experience. Wanting to own his own business and create wealth, he embraced the Tip Top K9 method. Today, Seth owns four Tip Top K9 locations—two in Oklahoma, one in Tampa, and another in Nashville, Tennessee.

“Tip Top K9 gave me the tools and support I needed to succeed,” Flint says. “I had no business background, but the system is so clear that it didn’t matter. I was able to open my first location with confidence, and now I run four successful businesses.”

Seth’s story shows that Tip Top K9’s franchise model can work for people from all walks of life. With a proven training method, solid support, and a tested business model, people from any background can run a successful Tip Top K9 business.

“Our franchise owners prove that you don’t have to be a dog whisperer to run a successful dog training business,” says Wimpey.

“What you need is passion, hard work, and a system that works. We provide that system, plus the support, so our franchise owners can focus on what they love— helping dogs and their owners live happier lives.”

The CRS Franchise Model:

A Localized Solution to a Universal Problem

T

he CRS Franchise model is built on the understanding that disasters don’t discriminate—they can affect anyone, anywhere. This localized approach empowers franchisees to serve their communities with the tools, training, and support needed to deliver high-quality services through their franchise that has sold over 100 units in the past 2 years.

TECHNOLOGY MEETS COMPASSION One of the defining features of CRS is its commitment to innovation. The company uses advanced techniques

168

and equipment to clean and restore a wide range of items, from electronics to clothing.

For instance, ultrasonic cleaning can remove soot and water damage from delicate items, while ozone treatments eliminate odors caused by smoke or mold.

However, what truly makes CRS stand out is the human element. Taylor and Duckstein have instilled a culture of empathy throughout the organization. “We’re not just restoring items; we’re restoring lives,” Taylor explains. “When people see their belongings brought back to life, it gives them a sense of normalcy and hope during one of the most

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

challenging times of their lives.”

This compassionate approach is evident in every aspect of the business, from how staff communicate with clients to how they handle fragile or sentimental items. It’s a level of care that has earned CRS a loyal customer base and glowing testimonials.

EMPOWERING ENTREPRENEURS THROUGH FRANCHISING For those interested in making a difference in their communities, CRS Franchise offers an attractive business opportunity. With low startup costs and comprehensive

training, the franchise model is designed to set entrepreneurs up for success.

Franchisees receive ongoing support in areas such as marketing, operations, and technology, ensuring they can focus on what matters most: helping clients.

“We wanted to create a franchise system that empowers business owners to thrive while serving a meaningful purpose,” Taylor says. “Our franchisees aren’t just running a business; they’re making a real impact in their communities.”

A MISSION-DRIVEN FUTURE Looking ahead, Taylor and Duckstein have ambitious plans for CRS. They envision expanding their franchise footprint across the country, making content recovery services more accessible to families and businesses in need. But growth isn’t just about numbers for this duo— it’s about maintaining the integrity of their mission.

“Our goal is to be the gold standard in content recovery,” Duckstein explains. “That means not only staying at the forefront of technology but also continuing to prioritize the human side of what we do. Every item we recover is a piece of someone’s story, and we take that responsibility seriously.”

Under Taylor’s strategic leadership and Duckstein’s

pioneering vision, CRS is wellpositioned to achieve these goals while staying true to its core values.

A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR CRS FRANCHISE AND CRS PACKOUT In an industry often defined by chaos and loss, CRS Franchise and CRS Packout offer a beacon of hope. With their unique combination of cutting-edge technology, compassionate service, and a scalable franchise model, Taylor and Duckstein are redefining what it means to support homeowners and businesses in the aftermath of disasters.

For anyone facing the daunting task of recovery, CRS

is more than just a service provider—it’s a trusted partner on the road to restoration.

And for entrepreneurs looking to make a difference, it’s an opportunity to turn their passion for helping others into a thriving business.

In the end, CRS is about more than content recovery; it’s about community, resilience, and the belief that even in the face of disaster, there’s always a way forward.

This is not just a story about a business—it’s a story about hope, leadership, and the power of human connection.

With Ashley Taylor and Henry Duckstein at the helm, CRS is setting the standard for what it means to rebuild not just homes, but lives.

Steering Toward Success: EZ Learning Driving School

by Kyle Heck, Consultant, The Franchise Consulting Company

F

or many, driving isn’t just a skill—it’s the gateway to freedom, independence, and opportunity. Since its founding in 2005, EZ Learning Driving School (EZL) has helped thousands of students, from teenagers to seniors, unlock those opportunities through professional driver education.

Now, with nearly two decades of proven success, EZL is offering entrepreneurs the chance to build a rewarding business of their own through its growing franchise program.

“Teaching someone to drive is life-changing,” says Andres Patino, Founder and CEO of EZ Learning Driving School.

“For young people, it’s about independence. For immigrants or adults, it’s often about jobs, stability, and starting a new life.”

With multiple locations across Central Florida—including Tampa, Winter Garden, and Winter Park—EZL has established itself as a leader in driver education. The company’s blend of cutting-edge technology, hands-on training, and exceptional community support makes it a strong, scalable franchise opportunity for aspiring business owners.

A CHANGING MARKET: THE NEED FOR DRIVER EDUCATION The landscape of driver education has shifted

172

dramatically in recent years.

Public schools, once the primary providers of drivers’ education, have largely phased out these programs. EZL has stepped in to fill the void with innovative solutions, like its driving simulators, which allow students to practice collision avoidance, night driving, and even stick-shift operation in a risk-free, virtual environment.

“We’re not just teaching students to pass a test,” explains Patino. “We’re using the latest tools to help them develop safe, modern driving habits—techniques they won’t learn elsewhere.”

This commitment to innovation has kept EZL ahead of the competition and positioned its franchisees to succeed in a growing, recession-resistant industry.

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

WHY FRANCHISE WITH EZ LEARNING DRIVING SCHOOL? Starting a business from scratch can be daunting, but EZL has streamlined the process for franchisees with a proven, turnkey system.

Franchisees receive: • Complete Training and Support: Two weeks of hands-on training split between corporate headquarters and on-site operations.

• Technology-Driven Operations: Tools like driving simulators, digital scheduling, and paperless systems to simplify management.

• Marketing and Licensing Guidance: Support for obtaining state licenses, launching local campaigns, and driving student registrations.

• Steady Demand: EZL’s home office averages 115 new student registrations per month, with demand consistent year-round.

“Franchisees don’t need to reinvent the wheel,” Patino shares. “We’ve already trialed and errored for nearly 20 years.

Our system works, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.”

WHO ARE THE STUDENTS? A DIVERSE CUSTOMER BASE EZL’s customer base includes far more than just teenagers: • Young Drivers: High school and college students gaining independence.

• Immigrants: Individuals seeking licenses for work and everyday life.

• Seniors: Refresher courses often required by insurance companies.

Religious institutions, community centers, and word-of-mouth referrals serve as powerful sources of new students. Immigrants, in particular, are loyal customers who often recommend EZL to friends, family, and members of their local churches, mosques, or temples.

“Driving is not a right—it’s a necessity,” says Patino.

“Whether you’re a young parent or a professional moving to Florida, people need licenses to succeed.”

begin with as little as 1–2 cars and scale steadily, adding vehicles every 6–12 months. By the third year, most franchisees operate with six cars or more, maximizing revenue potential.

• Total Investment: $75,000– $140,000 • Semi-Absentee Option: Allows flexibility for investors or retirees.

• Discounts: $2,500 discounts for military veterans and first responders.

This scalability makes EZL an attractive opportunity for: • First-Time Business Owners • Semi-Retirees looking to transition to a new career • Investors seeking a lowoverhead, high-demand business • Parents buying a franchise for their children to run RESILIENT, RECESSIONPROOF BUSINESS Driving schools remain in demand regardless of economic cycles. When recessions hit, many individuals seek licenses for better job opportunities or to supplement income through services like rideshare driving.

EZL’s track record speaks for itself: during the 2008 economic downturn, the business saw a temporary

slowdown but continued to thrive, thanks to steady demand and strong referrals.

THE ROAD AHEAD For entrepreneurs looking for a meaningful business with high demand and proven systems, EZ Learning Driving School offers a clear path to success. With EZL’s blend of technology, community focus, and unwavering support, franchisees are positioned to grow a thriving, impactful business.

“We’re not just teaching driving,” Patino emphasizes.

“We’re teaching freedom, opportunity, and confidence— and now we’re sharing that success with our franchise partners.”

Take the wheel and drive your future with EZ Learning Driving School.

The Rise of Jeff’s Bagel Run: A Story of Passion, Community, and Opportunity

by Jeff Perera, Co-founder, Jeff's Bagel Run

W

hat started as a simple idea in our home kitchen has grown into something I never could have imagined. At Jeff’s Bagel Run, we set out to bring authentic New York-style bagels to our community in Central Florida, and along the way, we discovered something even bigger: a chance to build connections, foster joy, and share a passion for quality with people everywhere.

FROM A DREAM TO A BAGEL REVOLUTION The story of Jeff’s Bagel Run began with a craving—

and not just for bagels, but for something authentic, something real. My wife Danielle and I were frustrated by the lack of high-quality bagels in our area, so when I got laid off from my corporate job I decided to try making them myself. Early mornings

in our home kitchen turned into experiments that brought us closer to creating the perfect bagel: crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and always fresh.

We started small, selling batches to friends and neighbors. The response was overwhelming. People didn’t just love the bagels; they loved the sense of community we were creating. In 2021, Danielle quit her job to join me and we opened our first brick-and-mortar location in Ocoee, Florida. Seeing customers line up early in the morning for our bagels was a moment I’ll never forget. It was clear that Jeff ’s Bagel Run was becoming more than a shop—it was a community gathering place.

BUILDING AN EMERGING BRAND From day one, Danielle and I knew we wanted Jeff’s Bagel Run to be about more than just food. It’s about creating experiences and fostering connections. Every bagel we make, every coffee we craft, and every smile we share

184

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

at the counter reflects our commitment to quality and community.

As the demand for our bagels grew, so did our vision.

We wanted to share this experience with more people, which led us to develop a franchise model. Today, Jeff’s Bagel Run is expanding into new markets, and it’s incredible to see how each location becomes its own hub of community and connection.

We’ve worked hard to build a brand that franchisees can be proud of—a brand that combines authenticity, quality, and support.

WHY JOIN AN EMERGING BRAND? Being part of an emerging brand like Jeff’s Bagel Run is a unique opportunity. When you join us, you’re not just opening a business; you’re joining a movement. Unlike larger, established chains, we offer franchisees the chance to grow with us, to help shape our future, and to make a real impact in their communities.

We’re here to support our franchisees every step of the way, with tools, training, and a

proven model that’s designed for success. But what excites me most is the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit that each franchisee brings to the table. Together, we’re building something truly special.

A BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD Looking back, it’s amazing to see how far we’ve come.

What started as a dream in our kitchen has grown into a brand that’s making waves in the franchise world. But what excites me even more is looking ahead. The best is yet to come for Jeff’s Bagel Run. If you’re an entrepreneur

looking for more than just a business opportunity—if you’re looking for a chance to build community, create connections, and share a passion for quality—we’d love to have you join the Jeff’s Bagel Run family. Together, we can keep spreading the joy of great bagels, one community at a time. After all, our motto is Bake Fresh. Bring Joy. Build Community. We can’t wait to see where this journey takes us next.

TACO SPOT AZ: Where Flavor, Community, and America’s Love for Mexican Food Collide

I

f there’s one cuisine that has captured America’s heart, it’s Mexican food.

From the sizzling fajitas to the comforting warmth of handmade tortillas, Mexican cuisine has transcended cultural boundaries to become a staple in households and dining scenes across the United States.

In Arizona, where the sun meets the desert, one name is creating waves: Taco Spot AZ. This local gem has quickly grown into a multi-location phenomenon, with loyal fans lining up to savor tacos so flavorful they border on legendary.

THE HEART OF TACO SPOT AZ At Taco Spot AZ, it’s not just about serving food—it’s about crafting experiences.

Founded with the simple idea of bringing authentic Mexican flavors to Arizona communities, the brand has perfected a menu that pays homage to traditional dishes while embracing the fresh, vibrant tastes that modern food lovers crave. Whether you’re a taco connoisseur or

188

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

someone looking for their next great foodie find, Taco Spot AZ delivers.

From the first bite, you’re transported straight to the bustling taquerias of Mexico. Imagine juicy carne asada sizzling on the grill, tender al pastor marinated to perfection, and golden tortillas that strike the perfect balance of chewy and crisp.

Each taco feels like a labor of love, topped with fresh cilantro, onions, and zesty house-made salsas that bring a punch of flavor.

But it’s not just the tacos.

Taco Spot AZ’s menu extends into Mexican food classics like burritos, quesadillas, and nachos, each prepared with high-quality ingredients and the same care that defines the brand. Don’t skip their crowd-pleasing agua frescas or street corn, either—every detail reflects a commitment to delivering an authentic, soul-satisfying experience.

THE AMERICAN LOVE AFFAIR WITH MEXICAN FOOD There’s a reason Mexican cuisine has carved a permanent place in American hearts (and stomachs). It’s food that feels approachable, communal, and deeply satisfying. It’s bold yet comforting, familiar yet exciting. According to the National Restaurant Association, Mexican food remains one of the most popular cuisines in the U.S., with taco culture growing stronger every year.

Taco Spot AZ is the perfect

representation of this phenomenon. By blending traditional recipes with a modern twist, they tap into the emotional connection Americans have with Mexican food. Whether it’s a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a late-night taco fix, Taco Spot has become a go-to spot for all occasions.

RAVING FANS AND GROWING LINES What makes Taco Spot AZ truly exceptional is its loyal following. Across their multiple locations in Arizona, fans line up daily—some even traveling miles to satisfy their cravings.

The Unique Path to Automation: Why Every Business Needs a Tailored Approach

usinesses today face increasing pressure to reduce costs, improve productivity, and operate more efficiently.

Automation and artificial intelligence (AI) have emerged as key solutions to achieve these goals. Yet, despite its widespread potential, automation is more than just a one-size-fits-all solution. Every business is unique, and so are

its automation needs.

As the first AI and automation franchise, Valenta has built a transformative model to deliver tailored solutions that respect the individuality of every organization. Whether on the manufacturing floor, in healthcare claims management, or within finance operations, automation—when

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

WHY TAILORED AUTOMATION MATTERS The real power of automation lies in its ability to adapt to the distinct challenges and opportunities of a business.

A global manufacturer’s production workflows vastly differ from a regional healthcare provider’s claims process or a financial team’s reconciliation work. Generic automation approaches often fail to address these nuances.

At Valenta, our focus is customization. We view automation as a strategic partnership, with our franchisees working alongside businesses to analyze operations, pinpoint areas for improvement, and implement solutions that align with specific needs. Backed by our centralized delivery teams, Valenta franchisees ensure organizations experience measurable, transformative results.

MANUFACTURING: STREAMLINING PRODUCTION AND QUALITY In manufacturing, speed, precision, and consistency are critical. Yet, many manufacturers still need to rely on manual processes that increase costs and cause production delays. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) can optimize workflows by automating real-time inventory management and quality control reporting tasks.

For instance, bots track inventory levels, trigger alerts, and automate reorder processes to prevent costly downtime. Similarly, automation collects machine performance data to identify quality defects, ensuring compliance with production standards. By removing inefficiencies, manufacturers improve resource allocation and meet growing market demands.

With Valenta’s tailored solutions, manufacturing businesses benefit from streamlined operations that save time, reduce errors, and increase competitiveness.

claims processing. Bots prescreen claims for missing information or inconsistencies before submission, significantly reducing rejection rates. For denied claims, RPA quickly analyzes rejection codes, retrieves supporting documentation, and resubmits claims with updated data.

The result? Faster reimbursements, improved cash flow, and more time for healthcare providers to focus on patient care.

Valenta franchisees work with healthcare organizations to customize these solutions for lasting, measurable results.

FINANCE OPERATIONS: REDUCING ERRORS AND REPETITIVE WORK For finance teams, tasks like reconciliations, invoice processing, and reporting demand precision but are often time-consuming and prone to errors. RPA provides relief by automating routine financial workflows, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.

For example, bots automatically match thousands of transactions during bank reconciliations, flagging inconsistencies for human review. Automation accelerates invoice verification and approval workflows in

HEALTHCARE: OVERCOMING CLAIMS DENIAL CHALLENGES Claims denial is a persistent issue in healthcare, with 10% of claims denied on the first submission due to errors like missing data or coding mistakes (American Medical Association, 2022). Denials create financial strain, increase administrative workloads, and delay patient reimbursements.

RPA addresses these challenges by automating WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM | JANUARY 2025

accounts payable, reducing delays and minimizing processing costs.

With manual work reduced, finance professionals can shift focus to more strategic initiatives, such as forecasting and analysis. Valenta’s franchisees help finance teams implement these automation tools, creating long-term savings and operational improvement opportunities.

VALENTA: PIONEERING THE AI AND AUTOMATION FRANCHISE MODEL Valenta’s franchise model is the first of its kind, blending innovation in automation with an opportunity for professionals to lead in a high-growth industry. Unlike traditional franchises focusing on replicating a product or service, Valenta empowers its franchisees to act as trusted advisors.

Our franchisees bring advanced automation solutions to their local markets, supported by Valenta’s global delivery teams. This model allows them to focus on building relationships, understanding client needs, and driving growth. Each franchisee operates in an exclusive geographic territory, ensuring they can develop strong partnerships without internal competition.

A FUTURE DEFINED BY TAILORED SOLUTIONS The demand for automation is no longer reserved for large enterprises. Today, businesses of all sizes are realizing the value of automation in driving efficiency and competitiveness.

Manufacturers are streamlining operations, healthcare providers are addressing claims denial,

With over 40 locations across five states — Georgia, New York, Oklahoma, and Arizona, in addition to its strong Florida presence — 3Natives is introducing its healthy, on-the-go menu to new communities and solidifying its reputation as the destination for fresh, nutritious food and beverages across the U.S. Beyond physical expansion, 3Natives has embraced digital innovation to enhance customer experience.

Launching a new mobile app and loyalty program has made it easier than ever for fans to engage with the brand, enjoy seamless ordering, and earn rewards.

Helping Families Say YES to More Just Between Friends

Franchise Systems Inc, the nation’s leading children’s pop-up resale event, is expanding with a goal to be in all 50 states

I

t’s a fact most parents know all too well. Raising kids is expensive. Very expensive. In fact, according to Bankrate. com, parents will spend an average of $26,000 a year to cover the basic costs of raising a child.

This makes it challenging for many families who also want to give their kids the extras.

When living on a budget, it can be difficult to say yes to the extra toy or game that lights up a child’s eyes; the bicycle or new wagon; the cute outfit “everyone is wearing at school”. This is one of the biggest driving forces behind Just Between Friends Franchise (JBF): helping parents “say yes” to more for their kids and families. JBF is the nation’s leading children’s pop-up resale event in the

202

United States. What began as a small sale in a living room in Tulsa, Oklahoma is now a nationwide franchise, with more than 150 local, community resale events in 33 states.

JBF franchisees are families who are also experiencing the realities of parenting. They know firsthand the challenges of making ends meet and the desire to give their families more. This award-winning franchise helps families across the country save money and make money which in turn allows them to “say yes” to their families: say yes to nice clothes, shoes, toys, games, baby gear, outdoor gear and much more – at 50 to 90 percent off retail. They can also sign up as consignors to sell items their children have outgrown or perhaps never even used. They earn cash they can use to cover their daily expenses, take a family vacation or even save for college. Just Between Friends offers potential franchisees the opportunity to truly make an impact in their community.

HOW IT WORKS • Families sign up as consignors with their local JBF event • Consignors prepare and

thousands of families in their local community. Many others asked for help starting an event in their community, so they launched a franchise system in 2003.

•

Consignors earn between 60 and 70 percent and typically receive their check within two weeks of the event.

GIVING BACK If there are unsold items, consignors can choose to pick them up at the end of the sale or they can donate them. JBF makes an in-kind donation to their charity partner after every sale. Many of the local events also donate cash to their charity.

Since it began, JBF events have donated more than four million items nationwide.

Those items combined with cash donations add up to more than $66 million worth of donations that JBF has given to hundreds of charities across the country.

SUSTAINABILITY In addition to helping families save and make money, JBF also helps the environment by keeping clothing and other items out of landfills. Every second, people collectively throw away 2150 pieces of

clothing in the U.S., according to the EPA. That equals about 100 pounds of clothing per person, per year. Events like JBF help make a big dent in that number by providing an easy way to “recycle by reselling” instead of throwing it away.

THE FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY At Just Between Friends, you can find pride, purpose and profit as a franchisee.

They currently have more than 150 franchisees in 33 states and are expanding into all 50 states adding more franchise locations.

In 2022, top franchisee Tracy Panase bought Just Between Friends Franchise Systems, Inc. After spending nearly 15 years running top performing franchises in Pennsylvania, Panase is now the CEO of the entire franchise system. Cofounder Shannon Wilburn is still involved as a Brand Ambassador.

Just Between Friends Franchise just celebrated 20 years as a successful franchise system in 2023.

Former Sports Illustrated Editor Joins D1 Training To Lead Media Efforts

I

n the spring of 2003, Dom Bonvissuto was a young sports writer at the local newspaper in Nashville, Tenn.

He wrote a profile on starathlete-turned-entrepreneur Will Bartholomew, who was opening his first professional training facility. Bonvissuto and Bartholomew then went their separate ways.

Twenty-one years later, that facility is the national headquarters for D1 Training . Bartholomew, still the CEO, built D1 into a behemoth in the fitness industry, with 136 franchises nationwide and 200 more in various stages of development. And he just brought Bonvissuto back into the fold, hiring the former Sports Illustrated editor to lead the content strategy as D1’s first Director of Media.

“We are thrilled to add someone of Dom’s caliber and character to our team,” D1 Training founder and CEO Will Bartholomew said. “His experience in sports media and marketing will be a valuable asset as D1 continues to grow nationally. Between Dom’s past and D1’s future, the possibilities are limitless.”

Bonvissuto brings more than two decades of experience in sports media and marketing to D1. Since starting his

208

journalism career in 2001 at The (Nashville) City Paper, where the Bartholomew profile appeared, Bonvissuto has spent time writing and editing content at: • Sports Illustrated (NFL Editor, SI.com, 2006-11) • National Football League (Senior Editor, NFL.com, 2011-13) • The MMQB (Editor, 2014-18) • NBC Sports (Editor, Football Morning In America, 201822) • Fox (Senior Editor, OutKick, 2022-24) Most notably, Bonvissuto

JANUARY 2025 | WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM

spent 13+ years editing NFL writer Peter King’s signature column, Monday Morning QB (and later Football Morning In America). When King retired in 2024 after a 40-year career as the nation’s premier NFL journalist, King called Bonvissuto “the best editor I’ve ever had.” Bonvissuto led on-site coverage at several Super Bowls and NFL drafts and combines and established himself as a trusted resource and confidant for writers and reporters across the industry.

In addition to his work in online sports media,

“D1 SITS AT THE INTERSECTION OF SPORTS, FITNESS AND LIFESTYLE, AND I CAN’T WAIT TO HELP BRIDGE THOSE THREE AREAS AND MAXIMIZE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH SMART, MEANINGFUL CONTENT.” — Dom Bonvissuto, Director of Media, D1 Training

Bonvissuto also brings to D1 his experiences in sports lifestyle and marketing. In 2017, Bonvissuto joined BreakingT, a moment-driven sports apparel company. He was named Director of Marketing in 2018, the brand’s fourth full-time employee, and helped lead 30x revenue growth in four years and established a national identity for the brand.

As Director of Media, Bonvissuto will be responsible for overseeing and implementing D1’s national content strategy and helping establish the brand’s voice and tone. Bonvissuto also will lead a national email newsletter for D1 and work with the company’s franchise locations and 30,000+ member athletes.

“I sought out D1 Training because of past connections and immediately saw huge possibilities,” Bonvissuto said.

“D1 sits at the intersection of sports, fitness and lifestyle, and I can’t wait to help bridge those three areas and maximize opportunities through smart, meaningful content.”

The industry remains strong as ever, with an untapped growth potential in scholastic training. The competitive landscape of youth sports is ever changing and having access to a place like D1 - where

young athletes can hone their skills – is becoming increasingly important. This paired with D1’s adult and personal training programs provides an unmatched opportunity. With vast whitespace across the country, eager and passionate franchisees are flocking to the opportunity and growth potential.

All D1 Training locations offer three core training programs, Scholastic (Rookie, Developmental, Prep and Overtime), Adult and Pro.

Each fitness program is based on the five athleticbased tenets: dynamic warm-up, performance, strength program, core and conditioning, and cool down.

Outside of group workouts, D1 offers one-on-one training with world-class coaches.
