Florida graduate aims to increase performance for leading automotive accessory franchise.

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Tint World® Automotive Styling Centers™, a leading window tinting and automotive accessory franchise, recently hired Madison Belfour as the new digital marketing analyst for the franchise.

A recent graduate of The University of Florida, Belfour holds degrees in both business administration and journalism. She is responsible for creating marketing campaigns that benefit both the franchise owners individually, as well as overall growth of the franchise.

Belfour’s keen attention to detail and passion for marketing is essential for continually optimizing campaign performance while helping to generate greater overall revenue for the franchise’s 80-plus locations currently open.

“Madison is a wonderful addition to our corporate team,” said Charles J. Bonfiglio, CEO and president of Tint World®. “We strive to have the best people in place. Her experience will help our franchisees grow their businesses, while supporting the continued success and growth of our overall franchise.”

Belfour spent the first three years of her career working for local marketing agencies in the South Florida area. Following a series of conversations with Bonfiglio, Madison picked up on his immense passion for franchising and was immediately motivated to put her skills to work for the growing franchise.

Belfour said one of her favorite parts of working at Tint World® has been the seamless transition. One of the first projects Belfour took on was the Tint World® 2021 International Franchise Convention. Unlike any prior annual convention, the event was held virtually due to the pandemic – presenting its own unique adaptations. Proactive and detail-oriented, Belfour saw the opportunity to step in and contribute value to help make the event a success.

As time has gone on, Belfour has continued sharpening her relationships with franchise owners – understanding their needs and offering tailored campaign solutions to reach their objectives. With new trends emerging constantly, she stays diligent to help keep Tint World®’s fingers on the pulse.

“Since day one, I instantly felt like I was a part of the Tint World® family. It feels great to be part of such a passionate team and I look forward to continuing to grow within this growing franchise,” Belfour said.

Emerging Boutique Fitness Concept Focused on Walking and Running Inks Deals to Open in Metro and Surrounding Areas.

IRVINE, Calif. — STRIDE, a boutique fitness franchise that is reinventing the definition of a runner through treadmill-based interval training, announced today it has signed a new agreement which gives the franchise partner the opportunity to bring seven new studios to the greater Denver area. Backed by boutique fitness curator Xponential Fitness, the treadmill studio franchise seeks to create a welcoming, supportive space where anybody can be a walker or runner.

The first of the seven new studios is expected to open its doors in fall 2021 with additional locations soon after. The first two locations are planned to open in the Denver Tech Center and Southeast Aurora. The Denver deal was signed by brothers, Alfonso and Andres Osuna, who will be opening their additional new studios throughout the Denver metro area. While this will be their first franchise business, they own and operate a Colorado-based real estate investment and property management company as well as a digital marketing company in Monterrey, Mexico. They also have past experience managing fitness centers.

“Colorado has consistently ranked as the fittest state in the union for the last decade and yet, there is no single indoor space dedicated to walking, jogging, and running,” said Jeff Stokes, President of STRIDE. “We saw such a great opportunity to reach the people of Denver and help fill the void by providing safe, healthy, beautiful spaces where anyone can walk, jog, run and transform.”

Founded in 2017 in Pasadena, CA, STRIDE taps into the millions of runners and people who identify as walkers in the United States with its treadmill-based workouts that provide a mix of cardio and strength intervals, all performed on STRIDE’s state-of-the-art Woodway Treadmills. Whether someone wants to walk, jog, or run, there are levels for everyone to participate, progress, and prosper. With three core class formats and a unique leveling system that allows clients to take every class as a walker or runner, each individual is able to find the workout that best aligns with their fitness abilities and goals.

In addition to Denver, STRIDE has recently announced several other franchise agreements in markets including Chicago, San Diego, Dallas, Austin, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Phoenix, Jacksonville Beach, FL, Manhattan Beach, CA and Irvine, CA.

As part of its parent company, Xponential Fitness, and supported by its seasoned corporate team with decades in fitness franchising, STRIDE offers franchisees tremendous support, infrastructure, and knowledge to ensure their success in launching and operating a franchise.

Industry Leading Service Brand Franchise Concept Announces Aggressive Growth Plans for Texas.

THOUSAND PALMS, Calif. — Screenmobile, the nation’s largest mobile screen repair and installation franchise concept, announced today multi-unit operator Nick Rosso has signed a deal to bring three new locations to Austin, Texas, selling out the territory for franchise development. With the first location slated to open in June 2021, Screenmobile’s continued expansion in Austin showcases the brand’s growth potential for Texas, fueled by the exceptional success of its existing locations statewide.

Nick Rosso is a seasoned veteran in the service industry. He is a co-owner and operator of Screenmobile locations in Omaha, Nebraska and Phoenix, Arizona, and has been a franchisee with the company since 2015. Rosso will begin serving Austin once his first location opens in June, expanding the community’s access to Screenmobile’s unparalleled level of service, industry-leading products and unmatched mobile capabilities. The team of experts at Screenmobile of Austin bring their services straight to the customers door, and from initial consultation to the completion of all projects, effectively and efficiently measure, manufacture and install screens for windows, doors, porches, patios, and more all on-site.

“Since joining Screenmobile in 2015, the company’s support and proven processes have helped me build a thriving, profitable business that has grown tremendously each year. While most industries are still recovering from 2020, Screenmobile’s model has been incredibly resilient to the challenges that paralyzed many other businesses, and that motivated us to purchase the Austin territory and continue growing with the brand,” says Nick Rosso. “Major cities throughout Texas are experiencing a surge of growth, attracting consumers and corporations alike to the area, and we’re thrilled for an opportunity to tap into that potential and begin serving residents of the vibrant Austin community.”

Screenmobile experienced continued success last year nationwide and statewide, with most local franchise owners reporting a 10 to 20% increase from 2019 to 2020. In addition to its expansion in Austin, the company currently has thriving locations in markets throughout the Lonestar State, including Dallas, Boerne, Humble–Spring and Round Rock. As the nation’s leading market for roll down screens, Texas’ increase in population density coupled with its lack of seasonality positions the state as a prime market for growth. With the Austin market officially sold out, the company is aggressively pursuing growth opportunities in key target markets, including Houston and San Antonio, offering Texans an opportunity to invest in a business model that has proven to be pandemic and recession resistant.

“Screenmobile is the first service brand concept of its kind, delivering a mobile, convenient experience that caters to a specific consumer need, and our role as an industry leader with virtually no competitors has been a driving force behind our nonstop growth. The success of our existing locations in Texas showcases why the market is a highly desirable region for prospective franchisees, and we’re thrilled to have an existing operator like Nick Rosso be a part of growing our footprint in Austin,” said Scott Walker, CEO of Screenmobile.

With more 139 franchise locations in 29 states, Screenmobile is the leading and largest mobile screen repair and installation franchise brand. Established in 1980, the company has created a niche segment within the service brand industry, providing extensive products, services and capabilities that can fulfill a wide-range of residential and commercial property needs. The company is currently seeking single and muti-unit operators to join in the brands expansion.

Senior Care Authority Acquires Nationally Recognized Program to Keep Seniors Safe

Tatyana Stemkovski2021-05-12T10:34:05-04:00May 12th, 2021|Tags: assisted living placement services, non-medical in-home care, Senior Care Authority, senior care franchise systems, Senior Placement and Elder Care Consulting|

Senior Placement and Elder Care Consulting Franchise Now Offering ‘Beyond Driving with Dignity’ Program.

PETALUMA, Calif. — Senior Care Authority, the nation’s premiere senior placement and eldercare consulting franchise, has acquired Beyond Driving with Dignity and is now the exclusive provider of the nationally recognized program.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 20 older adults (65+) are killed and almost 700 are injured in traffic crashes every day. The Beyond Driving with Dignity training and certification program was designed to help senior drivers and their families work through the complicated issue of age-related diminishing driving skills.

“The Beyond Driving with Dignity self-assessment program was a natural fit for Senior Care Authority. It aligns perfectly with our mission to coach families and be their advocate when they are faced with tough care decisions,” said Frank Samson, founder and CEO of Senior Care Authority. “This program adds to our existing menu of core services dedicated to helping older adults, their families, and medical providers who are seeking professional resources for aging patients.”

Senior Care Authority’s local owners are comprehensively trained and certified advisors. They assist families in the overwhelming challenges associated with selecting the best options in assisted living, memory care, nursing care and other long-term care services. The 70-unit franchise, currently operating in 23 states across the United States, is equipping its franchisees with added training required to bring this program to clients. Thirty franchisees have already completed the training. The entire network is slated to be on-boarded and offering the program by Summer 2021.

The founder of Beyond Driving with Dignity, Matt Gurwell, saw the need for a program of this kind firsthand while serving as an Ohio state trooper. He created the program to help families navigate what can be a difficult and emotional conversation, and ultimately to reduce the number of unnecessary and avoidable death notices state troopers have to deliver.

“Not all seniors need to stop driving, but many families aren’t sure when or how to make that decision for their loved ones,” said Gurwell, “Our program allows families to remove the emotional aspect from the conversation and make a decision together, based on the facts. Part of the process is having a learning conversation with the senior versus a personal interview, which can often feel intrusive and put seniors on guard. We want a mutually-made decision with the senior.”

Beyond Driving with Dignity helps an older driver with diminishing skills make a smooth transition from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat. The program also ensures that the individual is able to maintain as much independence as possible.

Marcy Baskin, Managing Director of Senior Care Authority noted, “Senior Care Authority franchise owners are continually adding to their menu of services. With our franchise network, we are able to extend the reach of this much needed program at a national level. Furthermore, the program is congruent with our philosophy of compassion and empathy in all facets of senior care.”

Anago Cleaning Systems Welcomes New Master Franchise in San Antonio

Tatyana Stemkovski2021-05-11T10:51:28-04:00May 11th, 2021|Tags: anago cleaning systems, commercial cleaning franchise system, commercial cleaning service, Master franchise opportunities|

Emily and Erik Buttlar Project Texas-Sized Growth in Commercial Cleaning.

SAN ANTONIO — Anago Cleaning Systems, an industry-leading commercial cleaning franchise with over 1,700 Regional and Unit Franchises throughout the U.S. and Canada, announced its newest franchise owners in San Antonio. Husband and wife team Erik and Emily Buttlar will lead this new territory in Texas for the popular commercial cleaning franchise, adding more entrepreneurial opportunities for the Lone Star State.

San Antonio is a rapidly growing city and is the 4th among Texas metropolitan areas and 38th in America. The city has a diverse economy featuring military, financial services, health care, and tourism sectors. Downtown San Antonio has various hospitals, research centers, clinics, and prominent educational institutes. Eventually, the city is forecasted to offer a business opportunity in every field, many of which will require commercial cleaning and janitorial services. Commercial cleaning was listed as a frontline, essential operation during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and is expected to remain a key business operational necessity to keep brick and mortar businesses clean and sanitized.

“We are thrilled to welcome Emily and Erik Buttlar to the Anago family,” said Adam Povlitz, CEO & President of Anago Cleaning Systems. “San Antonio is a key market in Texas, and the Buttlars’ unique business experience and entrepreneurial passion fit the Anago model of success perfectly. We look forward to the launch of Anago of San Antonio’s Master Franchise operations and look forward to many years of growth and success.”

When discussing what Anago offered versus other commercial cleaning franchise companies, Erik and Emily said, “Anago offered unlimited growth potential. Pair that with the fact we get to work together close to home, a sprawling five-county territory, and the ability to help people start their own business as well as help the community made Anago the only choice for us.”

“San Antonio is poised for substantial growth and is one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities,” added Emily. “After COVID-19, business owners are looking for ways to not only keep but make their employees and customers feel safe. Vaccination has brought our city a long way on the journey to “back to normal” status. Anago, with our standard cleaning protocols and our ability to disinfect all surfaces with EPA grade disinfectant, will help bring the city the rest of the way.”

The husband-and-wife team has years of combined experience. Erik worked for a major retailer for the last 30 years, the last ten being at the executive level focusing on loss prevention and safety. He held many different positions in the company, starting as a supervisor and working his way up to a vice president. For the last 17 years, Emily was a stay-at-home mom and very involved in her children’s activities and volunteering at school. Before that, she was an executive administrator and meeting planner.

“Anago unit franchise opportunities are extremely affordable, and the Anago model is designed to help franchisees every step of the way toward business growth and development,” said Erik. “Anago of San Antonio is in the position to provide avenues for franchisees to find additional specialty training should they choose to extend their business into a niche market where specific cleaning certifications are required.”

When not creating entrepreneurial opportunities for the Anago Master Franchise, Emily and Erik enjoy spending time with their three children and raising miniature Herefords on their small Texas farm.

Anago Cleaning Systems is a pioneer of the franchise system for both master and unit franchises, allowing successful mid-career professionals to operate their exclusive regional franchises while allowing small businesses to invest in their success. Both levels focus on running their business while Anago Cleaning Systems provides assistance, guidance, and critical tools to grow.

The Anago of San Antonio office is located off I-10 in San Antonio, just two exits away from the RIM Shopping Center in the Grey Oaks business complex. The address is 23705 IH-10, Suite 300, San Antonio, TX 78257, and can be reached by calling 210-664-0222. To explore regional franchise opportunities with Anago, contact Judy Walker, Senior Vice President of Marketing, at 800-213-5857 or judy@anagocleaning.com or visit http://www.AnagoMasters.com.

Authentic Italian Pizza concept to Open in Fresno by Fall 2021.

HOUSTON — Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen, a popular Houston-based fast-casual pizza brand, has signed a five-unit franchise agreement in Fresno California. The multi-unit deal is with a local entrepreneurial couple who fell in love with the food and decided to bring the pizza concept to their town.

The five restaurants will be owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Katharina and Don Haines. Don comes from an Italian family and Katharina spent most of her life in Europe, so it was important for them to invest in a brand with authentic Italian food. While living in Texas, the couple tried Russo’s and found that perfect slice of pizza.

“After trying Russo’s Pizza while living in Houston, it reminded me of the Italian pizza I would eat while growing up in New Jersey, something that is hard to find on the West Coast,” said Don. “You can’t find good authentic Italian pizza for delivery or take-out in Fresno and I’m confident by offering quality Italian food, Russo’s will soon become the go-to Italian restaurant in our area.”

The Haines recently moved back to California and saw a growing demand for authentic Italian cuisine in Fresno. Katharina spent many years working in event management and marketing, while Don spent more than 30 years in the powerplant business gathering over 25 years of management experience. Between both of their backgrounds in business, they say they’re excited about introducing a high quality fast-casual franchise brand like Russo’s in the state of California.

Russo’s is known for its New York-style pizza and authentic Italian family recipes. Their scratch Italian kitchen with 650-degree pizza ovens allows franchisees to make unique pizzas that use original recipes, fresh ingredients, and cost-effect measures to provide pizza flavors, unlike anything tasted before. Some fan favorites include Truffle Mushroom, Prosciutto & Burrata, and Prosciutto & Fig pizzas. Other menu items include Truffle Tortellini, Caprese Pasta, Chicken Piccata, Pappardelle Carbonara; as well as gourmet soups, salads, and desserts.

“I’m so excited to expand our brand into California and have more guests try the recipes that I grew up using with my family,” said Chef Anthony Russo, Founder and CEO of Russo’s. “The Haines’ are extremely passionate about authentic food and good service which will represent Russo’s well as we enter this new state.”

In addition to the new restaurants in California, Russo’s has signed a five-unit franchise agreement to bring restaurants to the Benders Landing area in North Houston and, and additional agreements to bring Russo’s to New Caney Bridgeland, Texas. The brand has also expanded internationally in the Middle East during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Russo’s restaurants are custom designed with an open kitchen concept, counter service, and limited employees for maximum revenue and lower labor costs. Russo’s lower-than-average labor costs kitchen concept can help franchisees manage the restaurant industry’s nationwide labor shortages, due to the pandemic, and the prospective increase in the minimum wage. According to Russo’s Franchise Financial Performance Average, the average unit volume of each Russo’s franchise location is $980,900; average food costs are 21%; average labor costs are 23%, and the average income is 19.2%. The average store investment ranges from $350,000– $895,000. Qualified candidates must have at least $200,000 in liquid capital. For more information, please visit https://www.russosfranchise.com/
