Interim HealthCare Inc. Continues Strong Momentum with Latest Acquisition; Representing One of Three Bold Strategic Moves for Parent Company, Caring Brands International

2021-02-11T09:15:34-05:00February 11th, 2021|Tags: , , , |

Business expansion, most recently in San Diego, signals strategic plans for increased access and growth in home healthcare support and services in the U.S., Europe and Australia.

SUNRISE, Fla. — Caring Brands International (CBI), the company that owns the leading franchisors of global home healthcare services in each of the markets it serves including Interim HealthCare, today announced the completion of three significant home healthcare franchise acquisitions in the last six months. By bringing these locations into the CBI portfolio, the company is building on its strong momentum and commitment to help meet growing home healthcare, hospice and support needs for its customers in the United States, United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Australia and Saudi Arabia.

The most recent acquisition of the home health and hospice operations of Interim HealthCare of San Diego, which successfully closed in January 2021, marks the first managed acquisition within the Interim HealthCare network domestically in over a decade. Operating as a stand-alone subsidiary of CBI offering home health and hospice services, this location can now focus on building out its current business footprint and delivering on its growth potential to support even more lives served in the region.

“In preparing my exit plan for retirement, I was grateful to have many options,” said Wendy Olayvar, 12-year franchise owner of Interim HealthCare of San Diego. “I spent my career supporting the comprehensive home healthcare and hospice needs of the San Diego community, which made it my driving concern to leave a legacy that would be maintained to benefit our amazing employees and the clients, patients and families we so proudly serve. Having the business return to Interim HealthCare Inc. makes me both excited and gratified that this team’s hard work and dedication will continue forward and ultimately enable them to serve more lives in the San Diego area.”

“We are honored that Wendy chose this path as part of her retirement plan. As we have witnessed throughout 2020, the demand for delivering high-quality home-based healthcare services has never been more essential especially during a public health emergency,” said Jennifer Sheets, president and CEO of Caring Brands International and Interim HealthCare Inc. “With our latest acquisition of Interim HealthCare of San Diego, we are excited to support the growth of strategically selected managed locations in the United States that will help even more patients obtain the quality care they need in the preferred and most efficient and effective site of care: their home.”

Despite a recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, patient and customer need for a full continuum of home healthcare and support services has only continued to grow globally. As COVID-19 unfolded, hospitals and health care systems turned to home healthcare leaders like Interim HealthCare for support in helping to manage the surge, by treating discharged and less acute patients, and keeping them safe at home. In addition, the U.S.-based 55-year-old company has helped to professionally staff COVID-19 clinical needs in hospitals, long-term care facilities and for screening, testing and vaccination sites.

In other recent examples of CBI’s investment in its growth and ability to meet increasing home healthcare needs around the world, the organization made strategic acquisitions related to its Bluebird Care brand in Ireland and its Just Better Care operations in Australia.

  • Purchase of Northern Sydney Just Better Care Location (November 2020): Just Better Care, the leading home care provider in Australia, acquired local Sydney franchise location Just Better Care Northern Suburbs. The acquisition of Just Better Care Northern Suburbs strengthens Just Better Care Australia’s support of the Sydney-area senior community and those seeking in-home care services. The Northern Suburbs territory is managed through Just Better Care’s Northern Beaches location under the name of Just Better Care Northern beaches and Northern Suburbs.
  • Purchase of Ireland Bluebird Care Master Franchise Agreement (June 2020): Bluebird Care Franchises Limited recently acquired the Irish Master Franchise business from Clemac Ltd. The transaction enabled the Bluebird Care brand franchising rights throughout Ireland, which currently holds 26 franchise locations. Bluebird Care franchise owners in Ireland are now more directly part of the wider Bluebird Care Franchise Network which includes England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and provides more direct access to award-winning, wide-ranging franchise support and services.

“There’s no doubt that 2020 was a difficult year,” said Charles J.

“Our growth really speaks to the unique business model we’ve developed and the character and commitment of our franchisees,” said Bonfiglio. “Even in a period of economic uncertainty, we’re on pace to have a record-breaking number of new franchises in 2021, and that creates extreme confidence throughout the Tint World® family for growth opportunities well into the future.”

Tint World® Automotive Styling Centers™ offer sales and installation of auto accessories, mobile electronics, audio video equipment, security systems, custom wheels and tire packages, window tinting, vehicle wraps, paint protection films, detailing services, nano ceramic coatings, maintenance and repair services, and more.

Best-In-Class Franchise Growth Company Announces Record Breaking First Year

2021-02-10T11:45:30-05:00February 10th, 2021|Tags: , , , , , |

REP’M Group Closes Out 2020 with Impressive Growth & Brings on Franchise Industry Veterans to Aid Future Business Expansion.

CORNELIUS, N.C. — At first glance, 2020 seems like it would be a difficult year for both emerging and established franchisors to concentrate on growth, however, one up-and-coming franchise growth facilitator, REP’M Group, has more than quadrupled its client base of franchise brands in its first year all while helping them grow in a sustainable and responsible manner. In addition, REP’M Group used 2020 as a launching pad to expand its internal team through the recruitment of some of franchising top leaders. Even amidst the economic uncertainty brought on by COVID-19, REP’M Group has quickly become a company to watch in the franchise industry.

REP’M Group got its start in 2017 when franchising veteran Rob Cambruzzi founded RPM, a real estate project management company. Not long after establishing RPM, Jason Ryan joined Cambruzzi as a business partner and the two expanded the company and service offerings to include brand development, branding and marketing, broker and organic lead generation, sales and distribution, real estate and construction and franchise operations. By the end of 2019, Nick Sheehan, a well-known franchise development guru and multi-unit franchisee, was brought on to accelerate the company’s growth. Now, with a combined 100 years of business development expertise, and over 75 years of combined knowledge of working with franchise brands, REP’M Group’s elite in-house service offerings have turned an undoubtably tough year into a successful one for its four brands – ISI Elite Training, Lime Painting, Farrell’s eXtreme Bodyshaping and 4Ever Young.

“It’s no secret that 2020 has brought a lot of challenges but along with these challenges comes plenty of opportunities,” said Rob Cambruzzi, Founder of REP’M Group. “As people find themselves out of a job due to layoffs or company shutdowns, they are looking for ways to gain greater control of their own financial destiny. This phenomenon has led to a significant upswing in franchise inquiries for our brands and we expect another record-breaking year for franchise growth in 2021.”

In addition to helping its brands reach unprecedented growth this year, including expanding ISI Elite Training to over 25 units and more than doubling the number of franchisees for LIME Painting, REP’M Group has brought on a plethora of other industry veterans to help with business operations. These highly-skilled individuals include:

  • Rebekah Horowitz, Vice President of Operations
  • Brian Romanzo, General Counsel
  • Gary De Jesus, Chief Brand Officer
  • Regina Tevis, Business Development Director
  • Ashley Cross, Director Sales Operations

Cambruzzi is highly optimistic about the future of franchising and anticipates the REP’M Group, the only true full-service franchise development group offering the full spectrum of services under one roof, will continue to thrive. “The future is bright for franchising as a whole and there is a market ripe for brands that significantly enhance a consumer’s lifestyle, happiness, and/or wellness,” added Cambruzzi. “Our desire is to accelerate the growth of our brands that improve more lives, across more categories, in more geographies.”

Neighborly Experiences Unprecedented Network Growth in 2020, Plans for Continued Expansion in 2021

2021-02-09T11:38:40-05:00February 9th, 2021|Tags: , , , , , |

WACO, Texas — Neighborly®, the world’s largest franchisor of home service brands, ended 2020 strong with 382 new franchise agreements awarded, setting new records for signed agreements in three quarters and achieving the company’s first franchise development trifecta since 2018 with number of units, revenue and EBITDA goals all surpassed in fourth quarter.

Between these impressive franchise development milestones and the organization’s 2020 acquisitions of five home service brands, Neighborly’s still-growing presence now consists of 4,500 franchises representing 28 total brands across nine countries.

“This past year, we successfully executed our ‘Own the Home’ strategy despite the challenges brought on by the pandemic,” said Mike Bidwell, President and CEO of Neighborly. “2020 was unexpected, but Neighborly’s family of home service brands persevered and adjusted protocols in order to continue safely providing exceptional service to our nearly 10 million customers around the world.”

Neighborly’s 2020 acquisitions of Dryer Vent Wizard, HouseMaster, ShelfGenie and Precision Door Service added entirely new verticals to Neighborly’s portfolio of home services. In addition, Rainbow International completed an acquisition in Canada to supplement its network in that market. To ensure these and the rest of Neighborly’s home services would be safely delivered throughout the remainder of the pandemic and beyond, Neighborly developed and perfected in 2020 a number of new service protocols including virtual estimates via video chats, contactless paperwork and payment and more, all designed to keep both customers and service professionals healthy.

Other Neighborly success highlights from 2020 include:

  • Announcement of plans to open a second Neighborly headquarters office in Irving, Texas, in April of 2021;
  • Receiving a silver medal in the Enduring Impact category of Inc.‘s inaugural Best in Business Awards;
  • Being named Global Franchise‘s Best Property and Home Maintenance Franchise for the second consecutive year;
  • Onboarding of new Molly Maid Brand President Vera Peterson;
  • And inclusion of Neighborly and/or many of its franchise brands in top industry rankings, such as Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500 and Top Franchises for Veterans; Franchise Times’ Top 200+ Franchises and Inc.‘s List of Fastest Growing Private Companies.

Neighborly’s 2020 success is already earning the organization coveted industry recognition in the new year, with numerous Neighborly brands included on the recently announced 2021 rankings for Entrepreneur‘s Franchise 500 and Franchise Business Review‘s Franchisee Satisfaction Awards.

“If 2020 showed us anything, it was that the Neighborly organization is resilient in its mission to deliver exceptional services to the homeowners who need them,” said Bidwell. “As we progress into this new year, I look forward to seeing how the growth, execution strategies and digital transformation that carried us through one of the most challenging years in history will continue to elevate Neighborly as a trusted provider to customers and an attractive investment for prospective franchise owners.”

Assisted Living Locators Sees Baby Boomers Driving Franchisee Sales Growth

2021-02-09T11:21:00-05:00February 9th, 2021|Tags: , , , , , , |

Senior Placement Franchisor Matches Generation With Boomer-Friendly Entrepreneur Opportunity.

PHOENIX — With more and more people over 50 making the leap from dreamer to entrepreneur, Assisted Living Locators, one of the nation’s top senior care franchisors, is seeing baby boomers as a driving force in their franchisee sales growth.

Baby boomers, born between the years 1946 and 1964, consist of 20 percent the national population — some 76 million people.

The senior placement franchisor is matching men and women of this generation with a boomer-friendly opportunity to build their own business.

“The baby boomers aren’t slowing down,” said Angela Olea, Assisted Living Locators CEO RN.  “We’ve seen this first-hand at our company, as more and more of our franchise applicants are in this over 50 age bracket. In 2020, 50 percent of our new franchisees were baby boomers and are energetically making their mark as an entrepreneur.”

Olea explained the baby boomers choose entrepreneurship as an encore career in order to pursue a passion, work on their own terms and continue to create wealth for themselves and their families.  She noted that a great route for them to take is with a franchisor, like Assisted Living Locators, that offers a business opportunity that makes sense for this generation.

“Baby boomers themselves are taking advantage of the senior care market by starting businesses that serve their older, generational counterparts,” said Olea. “Our senior placement and referral franchise allows for baby boomers to easily relate to their customer base. We are also recession-and COVID-19 resilient because we are an essential service to the community. Our home-based franchise offers a lower initial investment accompanied by a high potential for revenue and a feel-good energy.”

Mike McClernon of Long Island, NY, age 59, embraced the opportunity to become an Assisted Living Locators franchisee. As a former CEO of a medical care business, he brings his past experience to his successful franchise, enjoys helping seniors get the right care and makes a difference in his community. “Most important, I didn’t have to build my business from scratch,” said McClernon. “I had the advantage of built-in name recognition, a proven business model and extensive support from Assisted Living Locators for building and marketing my business.”

Olea stated baby boomers interested in starting a business should look at their age and experience as an asset. “Baby Boomers are goal-oriented, competitive and independent which are three characteristics that contribute to being successful in a franchise,” she added.

Lori Sears of Phoenix, AZ, age 57, wanted to find a franchise that leveraged her years of experience and professional network in skilled nursing.  “As a registered nurse, I was looking to own my own business with a franchise that matched my interest and knowledge in senior care,” she explained. Sears found her answer in Assisted Living Locators franchise that she has owned for the last four years as a top performer.

“It’s exciting to see how the DNA of America’s entrepreneur is shifting,” said Olea. “We can help baby boomers match their interests, their entrepreneurial spirit and help them attain small business success. We encourage qualified candidates to apply as we expand across the U.S.”

Sandler Named A 2021 Top Franchise And A Top Franchise For Veterans By Franchise Business Review

2021-02-09T11:10:56-05:00February 9th, 2021|Tags: , , , , |

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Sandler (www.sandler.com) has once again been named a Top Franchise by Franchise Business Review and late last year was also named a Top Franchise for Veterans, which adds to the multitude of honors Sandler has accrued over the years.

Sandler is one of the largest training organizations in the world, providing innovative customer-focused content, tools and resources designed to increase performance and stature of those involved in revenue generation. Delivery modalities include Virtual Instructor-Led Training (livestream & on-demand), Online Courses (SandlerOnline LMS), and in-person ILT via 270 local offices as well as the Corporate Development Division which serves enterprise organizations.

Programs focused on Prospecting, Social Selling, Enterprise Selling, Customer Success, Sales Management, Selling Into the C-Suite, and Coaching result in common processes, culture and sales language within client organizations, translating to increased revenue and more accurate forecasting.

Franchise Business Review, a franchise market research firm that performs independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only rankings and awards for franchise companies based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance.

Sandler was among over 300 franchise brands, representing more than 28,000 franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research.  Sandler franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including training and support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, and financial opportunity.

“There are thousands of successful franchise companies operating in North America, but many of those companies do not offer a solid investment opportunity for the actual franchise owners,” said Eric Stites, CEO of Franchise Business Review.

David Hiatt, Director of Franchise Development at Sandler, said, “I am happy to be bringing people to Sandler for a life-changing experience.  In a traditional business startup, you have to be, do, and think of it all.  A franchise, however, offers a proven business model that has been well thought out and successful.  You don’t need to reinvent the wheel.”

AlphaGraphics named one of the largest printing operations by Printing Impressions

2021-02-09T10:52:03-05:00February 9th, 2021|Tags: , , , , |

Global leader in print and marketing solutions ranks 22 on top 350 list of printers in America, Canada.

DENVER — AlphaGraphics, a leading franchisor of printing and marketing solutions, has been recognized as one of the largest printing companies in the U.S. and Canada after being named to the Printing Impressions 350. The franchisor moved up one spot from last year, ranking 22nd on the list.

“Making this list by Printing Impressions showcases how well our center owners and leadership team work together,” said Bill McPherson, vice president of franchise development at AlphaGraphics. “Last year was difficult due to the pandemic, but we took the necessary measures to ensure that we remained relevant in an environment that was in turmoil.”

The Printing Impressions 350 ranking is based on annual sales with many companies self-reporting their numbers. The publication focuses on printing industry trends, with much of this year’s content geared to the unsettled environment caused by COVID-19.

“The pandemic has caused many owners in the industry to rethink the way they do business and the products they provide,” said McPherson. “Many of our centers had to pivot away from the traditional services they provided in order to focus on new revenue streams.

“That’s why we feel that making this list this year means more than in previous years. It shows that as a brand, we made the necessary adjustments to allow our franchisees to continue thriving in a tough environment.”

Many AlphaGraphics locations were able to shift toward different avenues to help keep revenue elevated. Yard signs pertaining to graduations and birthdays became popular. Some businesses also used AlphaGraphics to print “now open” signs to announce their re-opening after quarantines ended.

Interim HealthCare Ranked No. 1 in Senior Care on Entrepreneur’s 2021 Franchise 500® for Third Consecutive Year

2021-02-05T21:46:57-05:00February 5th, 2021|Tags: , , , |

With over five decades of experience building a thriving franchise network, Interim HealthCare offers opportunities for both long-term business success and individual career growth.

SUNRISE, Fla. — Interim HealthCare Inc., the nation’s leading franchise network of home care and personal care, healthcare staffing, and hospice services, ranked No. 1 in the Senior Care category of Entrepreneur magazine’s annual Franchise 500®. This marks the company’s third consecutive year achieving this ranking, while also moving up 40 spots in 2021 to No. 101 overall. The Franchise 500® is the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking.

Interim HealthCare has a long history of providing franchise offerings that span the continuum of care. The company is currently mobilizing its nationwide franchise network to assist with staffing COVID-19 vaccine distribution centers to ensure the efficient delivery to seniors, essential workers and eventually the full U.S. population. In addition, the company is focused on filling the ongoing demand for healthcare workers with jobseekers who have a passion for service in the home healthcare space.

“I’m proud of our franchisees’ continued dedication to providing quality care to patients in the preferred and most efficient site of care: their home. The value of home-based care has become particularly relevant, especially in light of challenges the COVID-19 pandemic has created for stakeholders of our country’s complex healthcare ecosystem,” said Jennifer Sheets, president and CEO of Interim HealthCare. “This recognition validates our differentiation as a franchise brand in not only supporting the increased demand of the aging population, but also providing a full range of home healthcare services from complex medical care to hospice. It also further demonstrates Interim HealthCare’s sustained growth potential as a stable, timeless, multiple service line and revenue stream business opportunity.”

Placement in the Franchise 500® is a highly sought-after franchise industry honor making it one of the company’s most competitive rankings ever. Recognized as an invaluable resource for potential franchisees, the Franchise 500® ranks companies based on outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power.

“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.”

Interim HealthCare worked tirelessly over the past year to empower its franchise owners to connect with communities and national leaders, helping to answer the call for COVID-19 support. As a result, the company has risen as one of the most successful business opportunities for future owners and operators, proven by its strong leadership through the pandemic. Some of its many innovative responses to the crisis included:

  • Introducing the first specialty program specifically designed to address and support the unique challenges of those diagnosed with COVID-19, based on the company’s proprietary HomeLife Enrichment® standard of care.
  • Creating a trailblazing solution to address the PPE shortage by sourcing and procuring fairly priced critical inventory and offering it to the home care industry globally. This ensured that all safety precautions could be followed by Interim HealthCare’s network of franchise owners and operators to protect and care for patients and employees.
  • Pushing for advocacy and awareness at the state and federal levels for home healthcare’s recognition as a mission-critical part of the complex healthcare ecosystem, by ensuring inclusion of home healthcare as “essential workers” and enabling owners and staff to continue providing their crucial services throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Launching Made For This, a nationwide, purpose-driven recruiting campaign. Among its target audiences are those suffering job loss or displacement in other customer-service related sectors (food service, retail, hospitality) who are invited to consider a new career path in home healthcare.

In Entrepreneur’s continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace, the company’s 42-year-old ranking formula continues to evolve as well. The key factors that go into the evaluation include costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.
