Conserva Irrigation Adds Seven New Territories in January

2020-01-27T09:23:07-05:00January 27th, 2020|Tags: , , , , , |

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.

Poker Champion Joanne Jishung ‘JJ’ Liu Purchases Rosati’s Pizza Franchise

2020-01-22T14:02:32-05:00January 22nd, 2020|Tags: , , , , |

BRASELTON, Ga. — Rosati’s Pizza is delighted to announce that successful poker champion, real estate developer and entrepreneur JJ Liu is expanding her extensive business portfolio with the purchase of one of their full-service Rosati’s Pizza franchises.

JJ is excited to open Rosati’s largest restaurant concept, a Sports Pub offering a full dining room and bar, in her current hometown, the prestigious and rapidly expanding city of Braselton, Georgia. JJ’s local real estate investment and development have positioned her as an integral part of the area’s business community.  Purchasing a Rosati’s Pizza franchise will further augment JJ’s offerings for the residents of Braselton.

Rosati’s has over 200 pizza restaurants serving Chicago style and Italian food nationally and we are proud to welcome JJ Liu, to help build out our 4th Georgia location. “JJ’s location is well positioned to bring people together to enjoy great tasting quality pizza.” said Tim McCarthy, VP of Franchise Development of Rosati’s.

JJ and her family have enjoyed Rosati’s food and family fun atmosphere for many years. While looking for her next business opportunity she discovered that Rosati’s also has an impressive business model.  Because of JJ’s extensive franchising experience, she appreciates the benefits that Rosati’s proven franchise model brings to a new business venture.  In a recent interview, JJ spoke highly of working with Rosati’s franchise team and of the support Rosati’s brings at every step of the onboarding process.  She shared “If you follow their systematic business formula, it’s an easy franchise to start.”

While her success allowed her to select from numerous franchise options, JJ chose to purchase a Rosati’s Pizza franchise due to the income potential and the quality that Rosati’s bring to every aspect of their operation.

Rather than leasing space for her new franchise restaurant, JJ is leveraging her real estate experience in the construction of her own building. The custom build-out will house not only her new Rosati’s Pizza but several other businesses of her own, as well as leasing out commercial spaces. The new building will be close to the busy intersection of Spout Springs Road and Friendship Road, fronting on Spout Springs, a location which offers premium visibility and accessibility. It is in a high-traffic area near public shopping and other free standing restaurants, as well as a nearby apartment complex. Her location is projected to open late 2020 or early 2021.

JJ plans to be a full-time owner and operator of her new restaurant and is excited to offer the largest Rosati’s franchise concept with a sports bar area for the adults while offering a full Rosati’s menu for the whole family.

Rosati’s Pizza is a Chicago-based, family-oriented pizza franchise established in 1964. CEO Anthony Rosati said, “Growing at an impressive rate and capturing awards such as top 20 rank in Pizza Today, we anticipate exciting and energetic new franchisees, such as JJ Liu, will be keen to expand the famous Rosati’s menu nationally.”

But either way, making our list means they’re forward-thinking, nimble, and closely in touch with their customers’ needs—because in an ever-changing business environment, that’s what a franchise must do to thrive.”

CarePatrol of Northeast Ohio Franchise Owners Receive 2019 Franchisee of the Year Award

2020-01-21T10:25:01-05:00January 21st, 2020|Tags: , , , , , , , |

Kevin and Cilla Buck honored with prestigious award at CarePatrol’s annual franchise conference.

PHOENIX— Northeast Ohio CarePatrol franchise owners, Kevin and Cilla Buck, were awarded the 2019 Franchisee of the Year award at CarePatrol’s annual convention in Phoenix, Arizona on January 11.

The Bucks were recognized out of 150 locations for being high-level producers in the franchise system, providing a top of the line service for their clients, and displaying excellence in leadership, performance and compliance.

“Kevin and Cilla are the kind of franchise owners you want serving in your network every day,” said Becky Bongiovanni, president of CarePatrol. “They truly enjoy helping people and treat every family as if they are assisting their own parents. Every day they strive to go above and beyond to make sure everyone is placed where they need to be.”

Cilla was working as a teacher and Kevin was in operations management before they were ready to do something different. CarePatrol seemed to be that right fit where they could help people with a need and be compensated while doing so. They opened their first location in 2013 and added a second CarePatrol franchise in 2016.

“Having gone through this with our own parents, we both find great joy in being an expert resource for people navigating the confusing landscape of senior care,” said Kevin. “Being recognized as Franchisee of the Year is extremely gratifying, and with CarePatrol’s support, we will continue to work hard to assess our client’s needs, concerns and preferences before recommending appropriate levels of care.”

CarePatrol’s local senior care advisors work with families free of charge to find quality, top-rated assisted living, independent living, memory care, nursing homes and in-home care. The senior advisors meet with families in person to assess a client’s care level, financial needs and general preferred locations before recommending the best care options.
