Merlins of Glendale Heights IL, Vehicle Donation

Merlin 200,000 Mile Shops of Glen Ellen, IL Donates a Vehicle to Help the Bridge Communities.

ST. CHARLES, Ill. — Merlin 200,000 Mile Shop of Glendale Heights is excited to donate a vehicle to a family in need. Franchise owner Muffadal Simba sought to help his community and families. As a father and husband, he understands how important family is.

The Village of Glendale Heights recommended Bridge Communities as an organization helping Glendale Heights families in need. Car donations are one of the biggest challenges that client families in the Transitional Housing Program struggle with, as well as finding and retaining a good job that will support their families.

“I am delighted that the Village was able to facilitate the connection of our local Merlin 200,000 Miles Shop and Bridge Communities,” said Mayor Linda Jackson, Mayor of Glendale Heights. “The Merlin 200,000 Miles Shop has been in the Village of Glendale Heights for quite some time, and Simba continues to demonstrate his dedication to our community and our residents.”

One of the most significant barriers to finding and keeping employment is that of unreliable transportation. Many client families enter Bridge Communities’ Transitional Housing Program with no car or cars that soon break down. Most of these cars are not worth the cost of repairing. There is limited public transportation in DuPage County, and owning a car is a real necessity for any family. Client families use donated cars to transport themselves to work and their children to school, childcare, and activities.

“Bridge Communities provides an essential service assisting residents getting back on their feet via its many programs and housing opportunities,” said Jackson. “The pairing of these two organizations and the donation of this vehicle to our resident shows the importance and value of public and private partnerships, along with greatly assisting our resident and her family.”

On January 29th, Simba and his Merlin 200,000 Shop of Glendale Heights donated the vehicle to a Bridge Communities client family.

“We are proud to be partnered with this organization and hope that this donation will help the family with their transportation needs,” said Valerie Zabriskie, Merlin’s Marketing Director.

About Bridge Communities

Bridge Communities is a dynamic, grassroots, non-profit organization committed to transforming the lives of homeless families through partnering with talented, resourceful individuals and groups in our community. Our program of housing, mentoring and empowering families focuses on moving them towards a goal of self-sufficiency. For more information, please visit www.bridgecommunities.org

InXpress Ranks No. 384 in Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500

Tatyana Stemkovski2020-01-29T11:38:39-05:00January 29th, 2020|Tags: business-to-business franchise, home based franchise, InXpress, shipping and logistics franchise, time and cost-saving shipping solutions|

Home-Based Franchise Gains Recognition for Brand Strength, Growth and Franchisee Satisfaction.

SOUTH JORDAN, Utah — InXpress, a global business-to-business shipping and logistics franchise with a network of over 350 franchisees, was ranked No. 384 in Entrepreneur Magazine’s prestigious annual Franchise 500 ranking. The company provides small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with unrivaled time and cost-saving solutions through consultative services and innovative software.

The Franchise 500 uses a proprietary formula and evaluates a variety of key factors that include franchise cost & fees, size & growth, support, brand strength and financial strength & sustainability.

InXpress was ranked in the Business Services category, as the franchisees connect entrepreneurs to the right shipping options at the best rates to grow their business. InXpress owners work from home and coordinate movement of packages all over the world without personally handling any packages.

InXpress works with a reliable network of nearly 50 carrier partners that are essential to streamlining the shipping process for SMEs. Through those trusted partners and partnership with DHL, which has a strong international presence, InXpress can offer small-to-medium-sized businesses shipping rates traditionally only available to high-volume clients.

InXpress was also recently recognized as a Franchise Business Review 2020 Top Franchise for franchisee satisfaction and performance. The ranking surveyed franchisees with 33 benchmark questions regarding their franchisor that focused on areas such as leadership, training, and core values as well 16 more personal questions concerning their business lifestyle and overall enjoyment of running their franchise. Other accolades for the brand include Franchise Dictionary Magazine’s TOP 100 Game Changers for 2019 and MountainWest Capital Network’s 2019 Utah 100 list of fastest-growing companies.

With impressive year-over-year growth of 15 percent, InXpress plans to continue expanding throughout the United States and Canada with 20 new units in 2020. The brand is also introducing a new proprietary in-house shipping software solution built to streamline systems. The new roll out will provide franchisees with additional business management and benchmarking tools for their business and provide customers with easy to navigate reports.

“We’re committed to evolving and with our ongoing tech advancements, our growth is posed for acceleration,” said Dustin Hansen, CEO of InXpress Americas. “Our customers want data and tools that help them evaluate what makes the most sense for their business needs. This efficient management tool made with the end-user and franchisee in mind strengthens our brand’s promise to deliver exceptional customer service and support.”

The unparalleled customer service and care for every parcel is what separates InXpress from other 3PL providers and often why B2B customers switch to using InXpress’ shipping services. With the $700 billion shipping industry projected to reach $1.3 trillion in the next three years, the demand for personal shipping consultants is clear. This demand paired with the franchise’s ‘open territory’ model means self-motivated entrepreneurs can operate an InXpress from anywhere in the United States.

Unlike most franchise investment opportunities, InXpress is a home-based franchise concept with low overhead and minimum employees. Franchisees create their own schedule and are equipped with proper training and ongoing peer-to-peer support from top-performing franchisees.

About InXpress:

InXpress, a global business-to-business franchise company in the shipping and logistics industry, with a network of over 350 franchisees provides SMEs with unrivaled time and cost-saving shipping solutions through consultative services and innovative software. Due to the franchise’s size and its partnership with DHL and 48 other trusted carrier partners, InXpress franchisees can offer big shipping discounts to small and medium-sized business. With automated shipping preparation and one-on-one account management, InXpress customers are treated with the care and services typically reserved for Fortune 1000 companies. The core services include international small parcel, domestic small parcel and LTL (freight). The company was founded in 1999 in the United Kingdom and currently operates in 14 countries. InXpress Americas began franchising in 2006. To learn more about the franchise opportunity and the reoccurring revenue potential, visit https://inxpressfranchise.com/.

Local Business Owner Russell Herman to Debut First Pet Supplies Plus This Week in Rochester.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Pet Supplies Plus, known as America’s favorite neighborhood pet store, will open seven new locations throughout the Rochester and Buffalo New York area by May 2020. Local Rochester entrepreneur Russell Herman, who has operated PetSaver Healthy Pet Superstores in the area for the past 26 years, is converting six of his stores to Pet Supplies Plus and will build one new store in Webster. Herman made his decision to re-brand as Pet Supplies Plus to provide pet parents with competitive pricing, more selection and unmatched customer service training for his team.

Pet Supplies Plus offers a hassle-free way to find better products for pets, while saving pet parents money and celebrating the fun of pet ownership. The new stores will now offer amenities such as full-service grooming services, self-pet wash stations, knowledgeable pet care team members and carry-out service in which team members carry heavy items to neighbors’ cars. The new Pet Supplies Plus stores opening in the area include:

Webster, NY – 980 Ridge Rd., Webster, NY, opened in January

Orchard Park, NY – 3213 Southwestern Blvd., Orchard Park, NY, opening in May
Greece, NY – 1596 Ridge Rd. W., Greece, NY, opening in May

“Making the conversion to Pet Supplies Plus will allow me to help more needs of every neighbor and I’ll be able to provide more products at a better price,” said Herman. “Pet Supplies Plus provides a strong operational foundation and I’m confident the community will love the new stores and all the amenities we will offer throughout western New York, while still delivering the great services the community expects from my team members.”

Pet Supplies Plus will give pet parents a wide selection of natural pet foods, goods and pet services at low prices and focus on a unique, rich in-store experience for “neighbors” (the term Pet Supplies Plus uses for customers). The stores will also feature grooming and vet services, and knowledgeable and friendly staff. Pet parents are always welcome to shop with their dogs at the store, where knowledgeable team members are on-site to answer questions, offer tips or just get on their hands and knees to play with pets who enter the stores.

Neighbors have access to an experienced and knowledgeable team help them find everything they need. Each team member is extensively trained in the areas of natural and holistic foods and are able to answer a broad range of questions about dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and fish. Shoppers can also take advantage of the free Preferred Pet Club, which offers members regular coupons for products they purchase frequently and monthly specials, resulting in big savings.

Each Pet Supplies Plus store will be hosting a grand opening to celebrate the conversions and opening. Details can be found online at www.petsuppliesplus.com or by following each store’s Facebook page.

Conserva Irrigation Adds Seven New Territories in January

Water Conservation Leader Signs Franchise Agreements to Expand in California, Indiana and South Carolina.

RICHMOND, Va. — Conserva Irrigation, the only national outdoor irrigation company founded on the concept of water conservation, announced today a successful beginning to 2020 – adding seven new territories in January. The brand will welcome three new franchisees to the system and will open territories in the following locations:

Pasadena, CA and Burbank / Glendale, CA
North Indianapolis, IN and Central Indianapolis, IN
North Charleston, SC, South Charleston / Hilton Head, SC and West Charleston, SC

With the addition of seven territories in three states, Conserva Irrigation has now grown to 91 territories in markets throughout the country and is building on its success generated in 2019. Last year, Conserva Irrigation began servicing homes in Washington state, northern New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio and South Carolina.

“We’re excited about the fast start to 2020 and are eager to begin servicing clientele in our seven new territories,” said Russ Jundt, founder of Conserva Irrigation. “Since launching our franchise program in 2017 as part of Outdoor Living Brands, we’ve welcomed like-minded entrepreneurs that recognize the importance of water conservation. Our 2020 pipeline is strong and it’s a privilege to watch our franchisees help address the water waste issues presented by typical irrigation systems, while they use our Conserva Irrigation business model to build an attractive business to achieve their career, lifestyle and financial goals.”

In addition to the dedication of Conserva Irrigation’s franchisees, much of the brand’s success can be credited to its proprietary process to audit irrigation systems. The “System Efficiency Score” rates the water efficiency of a system based on a numerical scale allowing for homeowners to understand how much water their sprinkler systems are wasting, as well as what improvements need to be made to reduce water consumption and lower water bills.

“It’s our dedication to reducing water waste that sets us apart. We feel strongly about this mission and we know our franchise system does, as well,” said Jundt. “Our clientele demands smart irrigation and we’re confident 2020 will be our most promising year since launching our franchising model.”

Conserva Irrigation remains the only environmentally responsible irrigation company with a franchise business model focused on providing repair and maintenance practices for commercial and residential sprinkler systems. The smart irrigation leader has quickly become one of the fastest-growing companies in the irrigation industry.

Conserva Irrigation is looking to expand further throughout the United States and is seeking single- and multi-unit operators with a range of experience levels, as well as those looking for add-on or conversion business opportunities. Potential franchisee candidates should be willing to initially invest between $29,000 and $87,250. Incentives are also available for veterans, multi-territory agreements and those with existing businesses or are an employee of an existing franchisee.

National Automotive Styling Centers™ franchise ranks among top national opportunities based on survey of franchisee satisfaction.

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Tint World® Automotive Styling Centers™, a leading auto accessory and window tinting franchise, has been recognized as one of the best franchise opportunities for entrepreneurs by Franchise Business Review’s annual survey of thousands of franchisees.

The company has been included in Franchise Business Review’s 200 Best Franchises to Buy in 2020 list, which is based entirely on franchisee satisfaction.

“Tint World® franchise owners are on the front lines of the business, and we depend on them for the overall success of the Tint World® family,” said Charles Bonfiglio, president and CEO of Tint World®. “Being recognized as one of the 200 Best Franchises to Buy in 2020 shows that we don’t take them for granted. Our franchises are an essential part of the Tint World® brand, and we make their success a priority.”

Franchise Business Review surveyed more than 28,000 franchisees between June 2018 and November 2019 about leadership, training, core values and their overall enjoyment of running their franchise. The companies with the most positive feedback made the 200 Best Franchises to Buy in 2020 list.

“One of our major goals in 2020 in growth and expansion, and once again making the Franchise Business Review list is a vote of confidence from our franchise owners; it is my personal favorite award we receive, because it comes from votes by our franchise owners,” Bonfiglio said. “We’re going to continue empowering our franchise owners with the training, marketing solutions and other tools they need to achieve maximum success.”
