TORONTO Tutor Doctor, the leader in one-to-one private tutoring, reports an exceptional first-half of 2021 with nearly 50 signed agreements and 45-plus openings planned for the rest of the year.

By doing so, we have been able to reach more students and more communities with quality, in-home and online tutoring services that are current with educational standards. This people-focused mentality will continue to guide our future strategy as we grow our global footprint.”

With Tutor Doctor’s extensive experience in educational franchise management and its innovation-driven initiative to stay current on educational trends, the brand made a bold decision to acquire, coding franchise brand – Code Wiz. With a natural alignment in mission and values, the Tutor Doctor – Code Wiz partnership will allow both companies to take quantum leaps forward in achieving brand goals and reaching more students.

Batteries Plus Continues Record Growth with a New 10-Unit Deal

2021-08-12T15:17:50-04:00August 12th, 2021|Tags: , , , |

Multi-unit franchisee signs on for 10 additional units, totaling 16 stores in three states.

HARTLAND, Wis. — Batteries Plus, the nation’s largest and fastest-growing battery, light bulb, key fob and repair franchise, is continuing with its booming growth with its most recent 10-unit signing. Having already set multiple brand records in the first half of 2021, the specialty retail brand is gearing up for an expected 75+ additional franchise signings by the end of the year.

Existing multi-unit franchisee Danny Moos, who already owns six Batteries Plus stores in the Las Vegas DMA and a recently-opened store in Prosper, Texas, has just signed on to open 10 additional units throughout Nevada and Utah.

These new stores will be located in; Las Vegas, Henderson, and Mesquite, Nev., as well as Cottonwood Heights/Sandy, Bountiful, Ogden, Spanish Form, Farmington, Tooele, and Logan, Utah. The first of these, in the Northwest Las Vegas area, is set to open by July of 2022.

The brand boasts an attractive investment model, given its multiple industries that generate $652 billion a year globally, the low labor costs associated with their average of 4-7 employees per store, and their multiple revenue streams- from retail to commercial, ecommerce and national accounts.

“We like businesses that have a multi-faceted approach where there is retail and commercial component,” Moos explained. “Most impressive is that everyone at Batteries Plus we came into contact with, starting with the franchisees, all the way up to the most senior levels of the organization and meeting with people on the investor side are all very, very classy people.”

Batteries Plus’s proactive and supportive approach has allowed the brand to drive multi-unit growth at a rapid rate, even throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The Batteries Plus team continues to spare franchisees of many of the obstacles brought about by recent market fluctuations, including inventory shortages. The brand’s open communication, solid leadership team and resources available for franchisees is what has prompted so many to open multiple units and grow their portfolios with the brand.

In fact, of the franchise agreements signed within the past 10 months, 90 percent have been multi-unit investments. For Moos, who also owns several UPS stores, his impressive portfolio is now inked with 16 Batteries Plus stores open or in development in three states.

With over 700 store locations nationwide, Batteries Plus franchise owners are passionate about providing essential products and services for their local communities. Batteries Plus has also carved out a unique niche in the industry with its ‘plus’ services – including battery installation and key fob programming – capitalizing on both its knowledge and service offerings. Positioned for the battery-powered future, Batteries Plus supplies fundamental products that power people’s lives – wheelchairs, mobility scooters, thermometers, etc.

Mighty Dog Roofing Awards 100 Franchise Territories in First Six Months of Development

2021-08-11T12:06:47-04:00August 11th, 2021|Tags: , , |

Roof Repair & Replacement Franchise Now Spans 15 States and Anticipates 200 Total Territories Awarded by Year’s End.

OMAHA, Neb. — Mighty Dog Roofing, a thriving roof repair and replacement franchise, has achieved a milestone of 100 franchise territories awarded – all within the first six months since launching development in 2021 by Horse Power Brands, an owner and operator of service-based franchise systems. The company says it will continue to build infrastructure to support new franchisees as the growth spurt is expected to continue throughout the year.

As of July 2021, Mighty Dog Roofing more than doubled its footprint and officially awarded 100 territories to 31 franchisees across 15 states. Of those, 90 are expected to be up and running before the end of the year, with the remainder scheduled to open in Q1 2022.

The services industry has seen significant spikes in demand, due in large part to consumers spending more time at home during the pandemic and finally getting around to needed repairs and upgrades. This, coupled with the deteriorating roofs built during the house boom of the early 2000s, is creating a particular surge in the roofing industry. That’s why partners Josh Skolnick and Zachery Beutler – both serial entrepreneurs who have grown successful franchises of their own – saw it as an opportune time to form a company focused on the service-based franchise sector. Their goal with Horse Power Brands is to sell franchises responsibly, as well as open them with the tools to ensure the franchisees’ growth and longevity.

“We knew it was the perfect time to acquire a roofing business due to the ongoing demand and need for the service, and we were right,” said Skolnick, who serves as CEO of Mighty Dog Roofing. “Not only has there been immense consumer demand, but we’re also seeing interest from prospective franchisees who already own other types of home improvement businesses looking to diversify their portfolios, as well as from people seeking entry into the booming industry.”

Over the next year, Mighty Dog Roofing will actively seek qualified franchise partners to grow in markets such as Cleveland, Denver, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, Omaha, Raleigh and San Antonio.

“We’re looking forward to the future with Mighty Dog Roofing, as well as adding more service brands to the Horse Power Brands, portfolio,” Beutler said. “Regardless of what is happening with the economy, services will always be needed across the country.”

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — BoxUnion Holdings, the parent company of fitness boxing brands TITLE Boxing Club and BoxUnion has hired 9 new world-class team members over the past few months to provide additional training, operations and marketing support for franchisees across 147 clubs nationwide.

BoxUnion – an emerging California-based fitness boxing brand with 3 studio locations in Southern California and the worldwide BoxUnion Digital subscription service – acquired 144-unit TITLE Boxing Club and the TITLE Boxing Club On Demand digital platform in January 2021. The acquisition created the first, true omni-channel fitness boxing offering for millions of consumers anytime, anywhere.

The hiring spree kicked off earlier this year with the recruitment of Justin Ghadery as Chief Operating Officer and Josh Cole as Chief Marketing and Digital Officer. Ghadery’s focus is on innovation, streamlining systems and enhancing the member experience to position the business for long-term growth, while Cole is spearheading efforts to expand brand reach, increase marketing capabilities and strengthen local marketing programs.

With over 20 years in the health and fitness industry in various positions from personal trainer to general manager and franchise consultant, Hovden most recently was supporting 60+ franchisees for Anytime Fitness.

He has over 12 years’ experience using data-based insights, analytics and technology to drive business results in the financial services industry as well as for the Sky Zone franchise network.
  • Christine DiBugnara, Senior Director, Product Operations & Talent will focus on helping the TITLE Boxing Club franchisee network further strengthen its best-in-class programming. She brings over 20 years of experience as a fitness business owner and field leader in corporate and franchise fitness businesses. She previously led the charge for product and programming for fitness and boxing brands such as Mayweather Boxing, UFC GYM, and 24-Hour Fitness.

Prior to his new role, McKay founded Unite Fitness, growing it into the top boutique omnichannel fitness brand in Philadelphia, combining in-person studios, race events and live & on-demand digital platform.

“We are committed to future growth and supporting franchisees to set them up for success,” said Todd Wadler, CEO of BoxUnion Holdings. “To make that happen, will continue to surround ourselves with smart, knowledgeable and dedicated team members who have experience in all areas of the business, including programming, training and development, operations, marketing and more.”

Existing franchisees are excited about the support team additions, including Donald McConnell, who has owned a TITLE Boxing Club franchise since 2018.

“As the TITLE Boxing Club brand expands, it’s great to see we are getting more corporate team members to help support us and assist in making the brand the best it can be,” McConnell said. “As consumer expectations evolve, it’s critical that we also continue to evolve. It’s good to know that our franchisor is hiring the right people on their management team to put franchisees in a position of success.”

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. “With COVID-19 vaccines here, assisted living communities are a safe way to combat the isolation and loneliness that result from sheltering in place during the pandemic,” she explained.  “These communities offer seniors daily exercise, social activity, and a clean, protected environment.”
