2021-01-25T14:12:12-05:00January 25th, 2021|Tags: , , , , , , |

PHOENIX — Assisted Living Locators (ALL), a nationwide senior placement and referral service, is launching a card campaign, “Sending ALL Our Love To Seniors This Valentine’s Day,” collecting cards of love to make seniors feel special this Valentine’s Day!  Assisted Living Locators’ 140 franchise locations are distributing the cards to residents at assisted living and skilled nursing communities throughout the U.S.

“Let’s ALL get creative with handcrafted valentines and uplift our seniors during this ongoing pandemic,” said Angela Olea, Assisted Living Locators CEO RN.  “We’re on a mission to make sure seniors, our most vulnerable population, are loved this Valentine’s Day. We ask the community’s help, from adults to young children, to participate in this card campaign and brighten a senior’s day.”

Participants can mail the cards to their local Assisted Living Locators office. To find out a local care advisor near you,  call 1-877-226-7780 or enter your zipcode on the website, www.assistedlivinglocators.com.

Follow these simple guidelines:

  • Please WASH YOUR HANDS before writing cards and do not seal envelopes.
  • On front of envelope: To Someone Special
  • To sign the card for children: Name and age or grade
  • To sign the card as an adult: Name and hometown
  • Include a Return Address on the envelope, if you wish, so seniors can write back.
  • Keep messages positive. (“You are being thought of today.” “Hope this card makes you feel special today.”)

“We all remember the warm glow a Valentine’s Day card can bring,” said Olea. “This campaign will most certainly lift the spirits of the seniors we serve.”

Olea added that if you’re a caregiver of a senior that is struggling with loneliness at home, now is the time to consider transitioning to an assisted living community. “Not only are residents and staff prioritized to receive the first round of coronavirus vaccine, but assisted living communities remain a safe and viable way to combat the isolation and loneliness that result from sheltering in place during the pandemic,” she explained.  “These communities offer technology connection options for families during social distancing, daily exercise, social activity, and a clean, safe environment.”

Local Entrepreneurs in Kingwood, Texas Becomes Next Rosati’s Pizza Franchisee

2021-01-25T14:00:59-05:00January 25th, 2021|Tags: , , , , |

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — Rosati’s Pizza, ranked among the top 500 franchises in the United States by Entrepreneur Magazine, announced today the addition of their 5th franchisee in the state of Texas. The newest franchisees, Calvin Dodson and his partner Darren Frankenberger, plan to open a Rosati’s sports pub in Kingwood, TX the summer of 2021.

Calvin and Darren are excited about the location they picked in Kingwood, TX because the location offers a highly trafficked shopping center with a major grocery store retailer and is right off the interstate, a main gateway to Houston and the IAH airport.  Calvin explained “Houston has been expanding into the suburbs and there is significant growth in our geographic area which we plan to capitalize on with Rosati’s Pizza.”

“Rosati’s has over 200 pizza restaurants serving Chicago style and Italian food nationally and we are proud to welcome Calvin and Darren to be part of the franchise family,” said Anthony Rosati, President of Rosati’s Pizza. “As life-long residents in the community and having a variety of business success in other ventures, our team feels confident Calvin and Darren will be a good fit for the first Rosati’s in the Kingwood market. Both partners have been successful in other opportunities they have pursued. From real estate, to construction and other restaurant projects, they have a good mix of knowledge in fields that are important to operating a pub location.”

When asked why Rosati’s Pizza was a good fit for their next new business venture, Calvin shared that Chicago style pizza isn’t currently offered in our geographical area.   Rosati’s success and family-owned environment peaked our interest but their food sealed the deal.   We are very impressed with their corporate environment and look forward to providing authentic Chicago-style pizza in Kingwood, TX.

“With a team like Calvin and Darren, expansion into the Houston market is a milestone moment for the brand. When Rosati’s has a passionate and detailed franchisee bring the brand to a new market for the first time, it typically is the start of something special. We have expectations for the Houston area to follow that of Phoenix, where Calvin and Darren are the first of hopefully many stores to come,” said Anthony.

Pet Supplies Plus Ranked No. 21 on Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500

2021-01-22T12:12:51-05:00January 22nd, 2021|Tags: , , , |

Named Top Pet Franchise for the Seventh-Consecutive Year.

LIVONIA, Mich. — Recognized on the franchise industry’s most-reputable and competitive annual ranking, Pet Supplies Plus, the largest independent pet retailer in North America with over 500 stores in 35 states, ranked 21st on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2021 Franchise 500 list.

The pet retailer known for its neighborhood friendliness and “Minus the hassle” shopping experience, jumped 29 spots compared to last year’s ranking and was named No. 1 in the “Pet Store” category for the seventh-consecutive year.

The 42nd-annual Franchise 500 ranking was calculated with a proprietary formula built to evaluate franchises using five key factors: growth and size; brand strength; costs and fees; franchise support; and financial strength and stability.

The growth of Pet Supplies Plus only supports the brand’s reputation as a recession-resilient franchise opportunity. In fact, the franchise is expected to open 100 new stores this year, which includes rebranding nearly 40 previously-operated Pet Valu stores across seven states. The real estate transaction alone increased the brand’s paw print by 10 percent.

In addition, the retailer with 30-plus years of industry expertise, omni-channel shopping and turnkey processes signed 87 franchise agreements in 2020. The recently-signed deals include former independent pet store owners who joined for the support and systems that come along with an established national brand. It also included existing restaurant owners who expanded their business portfolio with a compatible add-on business and notable AUV.

“The pet industry is strong, and when that is paired with a historically-successful franchise system well known for its unwavering support to its owners, it’s inevitable our strength and stability would be recognized and attract entrepreneurs,” said CEO Chris Rowland. “The signings were all investors eager to join or expand their existing presence with our pet-loving, passionate brand.”

Pet Supplies Plus has remained one the fastest-growing pet retailers because the company’s tagline, Minus the hassle, extends to the franchise owners as well. This entails taking care of all the back-office duties, including IT support, reliable data, merchandising, marketing, supply chain, promotions, pricing and managing their social media.

“We’re evidence that local retail works when it is powered by a passion-driven franchisee and backed by a large organization designed to provide top-of-the-line processes and services built both for our locally-owned stores and corporate locations,” said Rowland. “We want the owners bringing the in-store, delivery and curbside experience alive and running it smoothly for the neighbor’s convenience and all their individual pet needs.”

The company moved up 127 spots from last year to #284, making it the highest ranked and only senior placement franchise system to be on the prestigious Franchise 500® list for five consecutive years.

According to Entrepreneur, Assisted Living Locator was selected for its outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power.

“We’re incredibly proud to be the highest ranked and only senior placement franchise opportunity on this esteemed list for five continuous years. After such an unprecedented 2020, our business model continued to show its resiliency as an essential need service and Assisted Living Locators emerged strong and poised for additional growth in 2021,” said Angela Olea, Assisted Living Locators CEO RN. “This recognition is proof of our outstanding nationwide network of franchisees and their commitment to serving their communities as well as our exceptional franchise support team that works continuously to help the system succeed.”

As the first senior placement and referral franchise business in the U.S., Assisted Living Locators has pioneered its way to a national presence with 140 franchisees in 36 states and the District of Columbia. The company offers a no cost, nationwide senior care placement and referral service for in-home care, independent retirement options, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing facilities.

“2020 was a challenging year for everyone, but it was also a year of unusual opportunity,” says Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur editor-in-chief. “Franchises were able to be nimble and innovative, serving the needs of franchisees and customers in ways that will resonate for many years to come. We believe that, when we eventually look back on this time, we’ll see it as a moment when many brands defined themselves for the future.”

Over its 42 years in existence, the Franchise 500® has become both a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for potential franchisees. Assisted Living Locator’s position on the ranking is a testament to its strength as a franchise opportunity.

Interim HealthCare’s National Healthcare Workforce Ready on the Front Lines to Staff COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution

2021-01-21T09:52:03-05:00January 21st, 2021|Tags: , , , |

As local healthcare providers and governments implement phased vaccine distribution, staffing shortage of qualified healthcare workers remains top challenge.

SUNRISE, Fla.Interim HealthCare Inc., the nation’s leading franchise network of healthcare staffing services and home healthcare, hospice and personal care support, is ready to address the staffing needs required nationwide and be a major part of the COVID-19 distribution. Local Departments of Health are closely monitoring guidance and operations established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. To this effort, local Departments of Health across the U.S. need the skilled resources of staffing professionals to source and place the necessary healthcare providers to administer the vaccine, including those employed by Interim HealthCare.

As the First in Healthcare Staffing™, multiple Interim HealthCare franchise locations are working with state Departments of Health to provide healthcare staffing services for individual state-organized distribution plans, but also with hospitals, pharmacies, skilled nursing homes and senior care communities to reduce long wait times. These professionals are helping to ensure effective vaccine distribution to seniors, essential workers and eventually the full U.S. population.

Shari and Scott LaFavre, owners of Interim HealthCare of Minneapolis, and their team launched a COVID-19 Call Center to provide the local hospital system with immediate and on-demand staffing support. A total of 52 staffing service employees, including registered nurses and assistants, are working full time at the hospital level to provide the necessary coverage to administer the COVID-19 vaccine. This is making it possible for in-house nurses and providers to continue caring for those at the bedside. A successful model, the local Interim HealthCare franchise location expects the staffing needs to continue over the next six months at these current levels and remain steady for all of 2021.

With reports of millions of COVID-19 vaccine doses sitting in storage, waiting to reach intended recipients, there is risk that doses could become obsolete as their shelf life expires. With state-level distribution efforts and hospitals already strained for care providers, Interim HealthCare’s workforce is being deployed to serve the U.S. healthcare ecosystem with timely support of trusted healthcare staff experienced in the full continuum of care and vaccine distribution.

“The availability of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines are nothing short of medical miracles, although their availability is exciting, the U.S. healthcare ecosystem grapples with how to effectively distribute and staff for the administration of the vaccine,” said Jennifer Sheets, president and CEO of Interim HealthCare Inc. “As a registered nurse, I have seen first-hand the power of life-saving medicine. Our healthcare providers have never backed down from a challenge and they’re stepping up again now for our entire healthcare system and those who need it.”

The Interim HealthCare team of professionals have led the charge in COVID-19 safety by providing temperature screening and testing services to essential businesses, law enforcement agencies, academic institutions, and healthcare facilities nationwide – as well as mobilizing partnership alignment with local medical labs to expedite test results. With the vaccine rollout, Interim HealthCare locations are strategically stationed across the country to help keep those at the highest risk safe and to make available the proper staffing needed to ensure a swift and effective distribution for all of the U.S.

With a more than 20-year history facilitating flu and pneumonia vaccine clinics, local owners are more than prepared to support the administration of COVID-19 vaccinations according to CDC guidelines as we look to return life to some normalcy.

Interim HealthCare is the country’s oldest and longest-standing healthcare franchise organization, and all locations are owned and operated locally in 41 states across the country. Interim Healthcare franchises are also recruiting prospective employees in a range of career paths from LPNs, RNs, therapists and CNAs to paraprofessionals (home health, hospice and support aides). Interim HealthCare extends a warm welcome to those new to the healthcare industry from other sectors of the economy recently impacted by job loss due to the public health emergency including restaurant and food service, hospitality and tourism and retail and other customer service fields.

IV Therapy Franchise Eyes Tremendous Growth

2021-01-20T10:17:26-05:00January 20th, 2021|Tags: , , , , |

THE DRIPBaR expects to open nearly 40 clinics by the end of 2021.

WARWICK, R.I. — A rapidly growing IV therapy franchise is set for tremendous growth in 2021 and beyond.

THE DRIPBaR, which currently has more than 200 locations in various stages of development throughout the country, is focused on helping its clients obtain their best cellular health using advances in intravenous therapy. The company is slated to open its first franchise location in Atlanta this month, followed by a dozen more across Florida, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Colorado, and Texas by the end of March.

According to Chief Development Officer Ben Crosbie, THE DRIPBaR will open as many as 40 total locations by the end of 2021.

“Treatments that aim to boost your immune system are gaining in popularity during the pandemic, so it should come as no surprise that THE DRIPBaR has seen interest in its franchise opportunity grow exponentially,” said Crosbie. “People want to maintain their best health. We are excited to be able to educate the public on the value of IV Therapy and the power that IV therapies provide to clients to maintain their best health, or to fight cancer, heart disease and other illnesses.”

IV therapy is the administration of nutrients and hydration directly into the bloodstream for immediate absorption and use by the body. It is the fastest way to deliver nutrients throughout the body, because it bypasses the digestive system and goes directly into the organs, resulting in a 90-100% absorption rate.

Some of the biggest proponents of IV therapy include celebrities Madonna, Adele, Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, Cindy Crawford, Rihanna and Brad Pitt, among countless others. While the exact reason each one uses IV vitamin therapy may be different, the underlying desire is the same: they want to tap into the extraordinary health benefits it offers.

THE DRIPBaR leverages these benefits and provides IV therapies that are designed to do everything from slowing the signs of aging to reducing brain fog and boosting energy.

The franchise’s clients have 18 different IV lifestyle or health-support drips to choose from, including the “Flu Fighter” that may help the common cold and High C, which is typically for current or former cancer patients. For those who don’t have time for a full vitamin infusion but want the benefit, clients can choose one of seven “quick shots” that Crosbie says gives the body an added boost.

Each session ranges in price from about $100 to $200 and people are sitting in the chair anywhere from 25 to 40 minutes.

“The quality and range of our offerings, and the consistent excellence of our services, will distinguish us as the market grows,” said Crosbie. “COVID-19 has created a new understanding in people that they need to be as healthy as they can be. Healthcare is no longer a passive activity, where people wait for an illness to strike and then react to it. More than ever people want to be in control of their own health, they want to be proactive. They want non-drug therapies to support their best health. They want what THE DRIPBaR has to offer and we are excited to offer our services.”

Including a franchise fee of $55,000, the initial investment to open a 1,000-1,500 square foot location is around $116,300$272,700.

About THE DRIPBaR 

Founded in 2016 and franchising since late 2019, THE DRIPBaR is a Rhode Island-based franchise focused on helping people obtain their best physical and mental health using intravenous therapies. Through advances in cellular and biological science, THE DRIPBaR helps clients fight the consequences of chronic illness, address the effects of aging, and achieve a balanced wellness. With one location currently open and operating in Warwick, Rhode Island, THE DRIPBaR already has nearly 200 additional locations in various stages of development across eight states.

Company Recognized in Top 100 Franchise Brands Overall.

OKLAHOMA CITY — For the tenth consecutive year, Express Employment Professionals has received the distinction of the No. 1 Staffing Franchise in Entrepreneur Magazine’s annual Franchise 500® list released Tuesday. The company also landed in the top 100 franchise brands for the magazine’s 42nd annual ranking.

“To reach a decade as the top staffing franchise on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list is entirely due to our hardworking franchise owners and the obstacles they overcame in 2020,” Express CEO Bill Stoller said. “These franchisees strengthened our brand so much that we were able to expand franchising internationally to Australia and New Zealand, as well as exceed our franchise sales goals for the year in the midst of a global pandemic. When faced with hardship, I’m proud to say Express passed the test and is built to last for years to come.”

Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur editor-in-chief, also acknowledged the challenges of last year but highlighted the unique opportunities it presented.

“Franchises were able to be nimble and innovative, serving the needs of franchisees and customers in ways that will resonate for many years to come,” he said. “We believe that, when we eventually look back on this time, we’ll see it as a moment when many brands defined themselves for the future.”

Key factors that go into the evaluation include costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, financial strength and stability. Each franchise is given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranking order.

With more than 830 franchises internationally, in 2020, Entrepreneur further recognized Express as a Top Global Franchise, a Top 100 Franchise to buy for less than $150,000 and one of the best franchise brands of the year. Staffing Industry Analysts added to the accolades by naming Express the tenth largest global staffing firm, the sixth-largest U.S. staffing firm, the sixth-largest U.S. office/clerical staffing firm and the second-largest U.S. industrial staffing firm.

“The Express family is growing and there’s even more opportunity for entrepreneurs to realize their business ownership dreams with us in 2021 on our way to put a million people to work annually,” Stoller said.
