Pet Supplies Plus Reports Impressive Year for Franchise Growth

Tatyana Stemkovski2019-11-20T14:57:51-05:00November 20th, 2019|Tags: pet retail franchise, pet services, Pet Supplies Plus, VIP Petcare|

America’s Favorite Neighborhood Pet Store Signs 81 Agreements in 2019

LIVONIA, Mich. — Pet Supplies Plus – the largest independent pet retailer in the United States – announced Wednesday it continues to experience tremendous growth, receiving a total of 81 signed franchise agreements in 2019 to date.

The ‘Minus the hassle’ pet retailer welcomed 32 new franchisees to its system this year, accounting for 53 of the 81 new units sold. Additionally, 11 existing Pet Supplies Plus franchisees reinvested in the business and agreed to build 27 more stores across the country.

States where agreements were signed in 2019 include Texas, New York, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota and California. In fact, the South Dakota and Nevada agreements are brand milestones as the stores will be the first Pet Supplies Plus locations in those states.

“It’s incredibly gratifying to see new franchisees and existing owners continue to invest in our brand,” said Pet Supplies Plus CEO Chris Rowland. “Coming into the year, we thought we set a lofty-but-attainable unit-growth goal for our system, and we surpassed that number by 30 stores. It’s validation that our candidates and current franchisees believe in the value we provide neighbors and their pets.”

A key driver in surpassing the franchise’s projected growth is the ongoing success of converting independent pet store retailers into independently-owned and operated Pet Supplies Plus franchise owners. America’s favorite neighborhood pet store signed two conversions in Florida this year with one already opened. Additionally, the franchise is in the process of converting six stores, all under the same ownership, in upper New York State.

Independent pet retailers know more than anyone in the industry about the pressures of e-commerce and the negative affect it’s having on their purchasing power. This reality has resulted in once-exclusive pet products no longer being available to them and the consolidation of brands within the pet retail industry. That’s why Pet Supplies Plus focuses on helping existing, independent pet retailers and small pet retail chains stay competitive by partnering with them.

These retailers make great franchisees because they’re already passionate about the neighbors and their pets, and they’re accustomed to providing high-touch, convenient service. This combined with the purchasing power, merchandising, marketing, supply chain logistics and other ‘back room’ duties provided by Pet Supplies Plus makes for a winning combination.

Additionally, Pet Supplies Plus offers You Click. We Fetch™, an order-online and pickup in-store program that combines its personal-neighbor experience with the convenience of e-commerce. This omni-channel service allows neighbors to shop with their neighborhood Pet Supplies Plus how and when they want. Pet Supplies Plus is also developing You Click. We Fetch, a buy online and deliver-from-store program for 2020.

Independent pet retailers, existing franchisees and first-time business owners see there is an identifiable path to success with Pet Supplies Plus, given its best-in-class corporate support, competitive AUV average and nation-wide recognition. Most importantly, franchisees are able to focus on doing what they love and loving what they do.

“We’re leaders in this space because we created a neighbor-centric culture around people with an unparalleled passion for pets. Prospects are excited to join our franchise because they understand we ‘Minus the hassle’ for them. We take care of the labor-intensive, back-room duties which gives them the opportunity to interact with neighbors and their pets, build strong sales teams and connect with their local community. That’s why they got into the pet business in the first place, and we’re excited and proud to give them that experience.”

ABOUT PET SUPPLIES PLUS

Headquartered in Livonia, Mich., Pet Supplies Plus is committed to providing pet owners across the country with the best products and services for their pets while also creating a one-of-a-kind, neighborly environment in store and online. With over 460 locations in 34 states, each store has an efficient, easily-navigable layout to minus the hassle of shopping while providing neighbors a wide assortment of high-quality pet foods and supplies.

Most recently, Pet Supplies Plus was named one of America’s Best Customer Service brands by Newsweek Magazine, earning the No. 2 ranking in the “Pet Care” category as determined by an independent survey of more than 20,000 U.S. customers. Additionally, Pet Supplies Plus garnered recognition from Entrepreneur Magazine earlier in 2019, earning multiple rankings on the publication’s prestigious, 40th-annual Franchise 500® list – including No. 1 in the pet-store category for the fifth-straight year and No. 46 overall among all franchise concepts.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Assisted Living Locators was identified by independent franchisee satisfaction research firm, Franchise Business Review, as one of just 14 senior care companies to qualify for its 2019 list of the Top Senior Care Franchises.

Assisted Living Locators is a nationwide senior placement and referral franchisor that has been matchmaking seniors with caring providers for over a decade. The company has 125 franchise office locations in 36 states and the District of Columbia.

Franchise Business Review, a national franchise market research firm that performs independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, is the only ranking of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance.

To identify the companies on the list, Franchise Business Review analyzed 18 months of data from over 1,630 senior care franchise owners regarding their overall satisfaction with their brands and their likelihood to recommend them to others.

Nearly 90% of the senior care franchisees surveyed reported that they enjoy operating their business, as well as being part of their franchise organization. And, when asked about the long-term growth opportunity for their business, over 75% of survey respondents said that it is strong or very strong.

Assisted Living Locators franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including training & support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, and financial opportunity.

“Franchisee satisfaction in the senior care industry is very strong. In fact, the senior care sector has one of the highest satisfaction ratings in all of franchising,” said Michelle Rowan, president and COO of Franchise Business Review. “With the demand for senior care services increasing, owning a senior care franchise can be both lucrative and rewarding – as long as you choose the right brand. All of the brands on our list are performing well and have high satisfaction ratings from the franchisees who own them.”

“This is a great honor to be named as a ‘Top Senior Care Franchise’ by Franchise Business Review,” said Angela Olea, Assisted Living Locators CEO. “With Assisted Living Locators, there’s unlimited potential for franchise owners ready to make a difference in their community. We’re proud to be a company dedicated to compassionate care with a commitment to helping seniors and their families across the country.”

Los Angeles Massage Boutique Drives National Franchise Expansion

LOS ANGELES — The NOW Massage, Los Angeles’ hottest wellness destination, will launch a national network of boutique massage therapy franchises. The team behind this modern massage boutique will leverage the vibrant culture, passionate community, and world-class design aesthetic of The NOW to expand its reach across the country.

The visionaries behind The NOW are working to transition from four proven massage locations in Los Angeles to become a fast-growing franchise system with a national footprint. The team has signed initial franchise agreements to debut massage studios in Austin, Denver, Chicago, Scottsdale and Raleigh.

Founded in 2015, The NOW blends the quality of a luxury massage destination with the convenience and affordability of a walk-in neighborhood spot. Their goal is to provide a menu of high quality and consistent massages in an elevated, tranquil setting.

“There was a void in the market for a next level massage experience in an inspiring space without committing to the time and expense of a full service spa,” said Gara Post, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of The NOW. “Part of our philosophy is incorporating self-care into your routine, and we didn’t want it to be cost prohibitive or impossible to schedule. The NOW is an oasis in the city and an escape from the fast-paced, digital overload we experience on a daily basis.”

About The NOW (https://thenowmassage.com/)

The NOW, a new concept massage boutique, was founded on the principle that self-care is a necessity, not a luxury. Designed to serve as an oasis from today’s fast paced digital society, their goal is to offer high-quality, affordable massage services in a beautiful setting. After launching in 2015, The NOW quickly became LA’s hottest wellness destination for globe-trotting influencers and locals alike. Four boutiques later, the growing lifestyle brand is set to embark on a national franchise expansion and is looking forward to bringing their thoughtfully crafted menu with customizable enhancements, healing products and singular design aesthetic to cities all over the United States.

Ready to expand your franchisee base? Veterans, women and minorities can fill vital roles.

Alesia Visconti2019-11-18T13:45:40-05:00November 18th, 2019|

Have you tasted the benefits of franchising and want to expand to more stores?

One way to get there is to tap that pool of hardworking entrepreneurial prospects. But where are the best hunting grounds for those go-getters who will help you take your concept to the next level?

If you want to reap the benefits of populating an area with multiple franchisees, this fact should prove encouraging: One out of 10 U.S. Small Business Administration loans flow capital out to franchisors that know the benefits of growing a regional store base. And the hottest arena for finding franchise expansion capital often lies in those myriad of industry connections that make up the U.S. Veteran’s community. Those entrepreneurial-minded men and women often have the strategic know-how to grow a franchise. And here’s a bonus: The close-knit community of military veterans offers a rich hunting ground for recruiting franchisees, too.

If you already have a half-dozen stores and you want to take it to the next level, you’ll like this news: Both the U.S. Government and charitable organizations want to help veterans launch businesses. It’s partly as a gesture of gratitude and partly because the evidence for the business argument is way too compelling to pass up.

Consider that military veterans know how to work together as a team and that expertise is crucial for managing and expanding franchised locations. Veterans also understand the importance of discipline. Many aspiring franchisees attained higher ranks during their military service, and a sizable cohort went through officer candidate training, too.

Of course, veterans aren’t the only source of franchisees and capital to expand a store base. More female entrepreneurs are discovering the higher return-on-investment that often comes when a franchisee base reaches that enviable stage of steady expansion. A recruitment plan that brings more women on board your franchise will pay off in quicker growth. Biologically speaking, they’re pretty tough operators since women have a higher pain tolerance. That’s a welcome trait for enduring the long hours that go along with launching a new store.

Perhaps the biggest advantage to crafting a female franchisee recruitment strategy is that women franchisees often have an innate ability when it comes to building collegial relationships. That’s not to discount the existence of those same traits in many men. But most store operators acknowledge the benefits of the relational aspect the average female entrepreneur brings to the table.

CARROLLTON, Texas — FASTSIGNS International, Inc., franchisor of FASTSIGNS^®, the leading sign, graphics and visual communications franchise, announced today it has been named a top franchise opportunity for veterans by Entrepreneur magazine on its 2019 Top Franchises for Veterans ranking. FASTSIGNS ranked #5 — the only sign, graphics, and visual communications franchise in the top 30 franchise opportunities.

Entrepreneur‘s Top Franchises for Veterans ranking highlights the top 150 franchises offering incentives and other programs to help veterans become franchisees. FASTSIGNS currently offers veterans a 50-percent reduction on the franchise fee — a savings of $24,875 — as part of the International Franchise Association’s (IFA) VetFran program.

“We truly value the contributions and sacrifices veterans have made and are proud to provide them with the opportunity and support to become entrepreneurs. Currently, over 13% of franchisees in the FASTSIGNS system are military veterans, and that number continues to grow each year,” said Mark Jameson, Executive Vice President of Franchise Support and Development. “We are honored to be ranked in the top 5 franchise opportunities and the only one in our segment to break the top 30. It’s a testament to our strong network of veterans that are advocates for FASTSIGNS.”

Danielle Miranda, who recently signed a franchise agreement with her husband to open a FASTSIGNS center in Tracy, California, is a veteran of the U.S. Army and North Carolina Army National Guard, where she was a multimedia illustrator, and earned a bachelor’s degree in mass communication and a master’s degree in advertising. Her husband, Johnny, is a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, with extensive operations, leadership, training, and mentoring experience.

“Our combined expertise in graphic design and leading teams made FASTSIGNS the perfect business opportunity for us,” said Danielle. “As military veterans, we’re both intensely focused on service, quality of work, and contributing to a bigger cause — whether that’s helping customers meet their business goals or supporting the growth of the FASTSIGNS brand.”

FASTSIGNS is consistently ranked one of the top franchise opportunities for veterans. Earlier this month, FASTSIGNS was recognized by Franchise Business Review in its 2019 Top Franchises for Veterans report.

Acknowledged by entrepreneurs and franchisors as a top competitive tool of measurement, the Franchise 500^® recognizes FASTSIGNS, the only sign, graphics, and visual communications franchise to be recognized in the top 100, for its exceptional performance in areas including financial strength and stability, growth rate, and brand power.

FASTSIGNS also made Franchise Direct‘s list of the Top 100 Franchises 2019 and ranked #2 on this year’s Franchise Gator Top 100 list, both ranking the best franchises for 2019. Franchise Business Review has recognized FASTSIGNS as one of the “Best of the Best” for franchisee satisfaction for the last 10 years, as well as naming FASTSIGNS to its “Innovative Franchises” list in 2017, and its Top 50 Franchises for Women and Top Service Franchise lists in 2019. In 2018, Franchise Business Review named FASTSIGNS a “Best-in-Category” franchise. This year, the Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) awarded FASTSIGNS International, Inc. the Franchisees’ Choice Designation for the seventh consecutive year for its strong relationship with Canadian franchisees, as well as extensive franchisee training and support.
