Leading Carpet and Upholstery Brand Strengthens Franchise Development Program with Accelerated Growth Ahead.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Carpet and upholstery cleaning franchise leader Chem-Dry reports strong mid-year growth with high performance marks alongside franchise development. According to Chem-Dry’s Franchise Disclosure Document, the Top 25% of franchise territories generated $700,250 in 2022, earning 16.4% more than the previous year*. With 10 franchise openings and eight franchise signings, Chem-Dry is ramping up its development efforts with aim to award 60 total franchises by year-end.

Key to the brand’s strong performance is its QuickStart program that helps new owners get the training and support they need for equipment and back-office operations, and move from onboarding and training to revenue generation in weeks, as they build their business. Since launching the program in 2017, annual revenues have more than doubled in that timeframe, a testament to the focused support provided. With a low-cost investment, the revenue potential continues to drive prospects to the franchise opportunity.

With over four decades of market leadership, we remain focused on providing innovative, personalized, high-quality care to make spaces cleaner and healthier.”

Chem-Dry creates cleaner, healthier indoor environments with its proprietary equipment and solutions for carpet, upholstery, granite countertops and hard floor surfaces, such as wood, tile and vinyl.

Home-Based Estate Sale Franchises Skyrocket: Grasons Offers Golden Opportunity for Entrepreneurship

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-06-20T10:33:41-04:00June 20th, 2023|Tags: estate and business liquidation online services, estate sale franchise, Grasons, The estate sales industry|

LOS ANGELES — As the franchise industry evolves, Grasons, a leading nationwide estate sales and business liquidation service, is at the forefront with a unique home-based franchise opportunity. By tapping into the rising demand for estate sales and business liquidation services, Grasons is offering entrepreneurs a profitable, sustainable, and exciting business model.

Estate sales – events where all contents of a home are sold – are becoming increasingly necessary as the Baby Boomer generation ages, often leading to downsizing or estate settlement. Simultaneously, the need for business liquidation services is also rising, with companies seeking assistance during transition periods. Grasons, recognized as a compassionate solution provider during these crucial times, is capitalizing on these growing markets. IBISWorld predicts the estate sale industry’s revenue will grow at an annual rate of 3.7% to $4.4 billion by 2025.

The estate sale industry is not only recession-resistant but also promotes sustainability. “People need to replace everyday items they can’t afford at retail prices. In strong economies, people buy new homes and furnishings. In weaker economies, they downsize and liquidate assets,” says Simone Kelly, Founder and Brand President of Grasons. “Estate sales promote sustainability by reducing waste, aligning with the growing consumer trend towards eco-friendly practices.”

Grasons’ business model is inherently profitable and scalable. Operating on a commission-based model, companies can hold multiple sales per week. Beyond residential sales, Grasons has developed a strong reputation in the realm of business liquidation. This service is increasingly sought after by companies looking to downsize, close doors, or liquidate inventory efficiently.

The low startup costs and flexibility make an estate sale franchise an excellent fit for a home-based business. “There’s no need to rent or purchase a physical space, and the initial investment is much lower than a traditional franchise,” Kelly explains. “Business owners enjoy the freedom to work at their own pace and schedule, allowing for a better work-life balance.”

Franchisees also benefit from Grasons’ established reputation and industry expertise. With access to a vast network of resources and tools, franchisees can grow and scale their businesses with confidence.

“An estate sale franchise is rewarding. You serve others, helping families and businesses through difficult times, and making a real difference,” Kelly says. “We’re proud of the service we provide during life’s transitions and excited to share this opportunity with prospective franchisees.”

About Grasons

Grasons is part of the Evive Brands family providing exceptional support and services to families and communities across the nation. With various discounts and financing options available, qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.

Pet Supplies Plus Launches OptimPlus™ Wet Food, Shares Tips + Benefits for Pet Parents

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-06-19T10:30:45-04:00June 19th, 2023|Tags: Franchise Group, natural pet food, pet grooming and self-wash facilities, pet supplies franchise, Pet Supplies Plus|

Largest Pet Retail Franchise Expands Private Label Brand Offerings to Provide Optimal Health Options for Pets.

LIVONIA, Mich. — As the number of pet owners steadily increases, Pet Supplies Plus continues to meet consumer’s needs with expanding their product offerings. After adding OptimPlus™ and its dry food to their roster of private brand products a year ago, the company announces the launch of a new line of OptimPlus™ wet food.

Nearly 87 million households own a pet, with dogs and cats being the most popular. The new wet food launch includes products for both dogs and cats, giving pet parents even more optimal health options at Pet Supplies Plus. Available in stores nationwide and online, OptimPlus wet dog and cat food are made with real animal proteins and have no added corn, soy or wheat ingredients. In addition, whether it’s for a puppy/kitten, adult or senior pet, OptimPlus wet food has formula options to meet the nutritional requirements of your pet’s life stage. There are also targeted formulas that help with specific needs such as hip and joint support for dogs, hairball control for cats and more.

OptimPlus is formulated to take the guess work out of dog and cat nutrition. However, if pet parents are considering switching to or adding wet food to their pet’s diet, Pet Supplies Plus recommends always consulting their veterinarian first.

BENEFITS OF WET FOOD:

Easy to Consume: Some pets may have dental disease or other oral conditions, and older pets who may have lost teeth could need a softer option. While some food formats can be difficult for some dogs to eat, wet food is a great alternative.
Helps with Hydration: If your pet doesn’t drink as much water as they should, wet food could be a great option to increase their water intake. In fact, cats benefit from getting most of their water from the moisture in their food.
Offers Versatility: Wet food can be served as a standalone meal or it can be mixed in with dry kibble to add flavor and texture to a pet’s everyday food. If used as a mix-in, pet parents should remember to factor in the wet food as part of their pet’s recommended daily caloric intake.
Highly Enticing: Wet food is very aromatic, quite flavorful and rich in meat and moisture content. The combination of these qualities makes wet food especially appealing to dogs and cats alike.
Rich in Protein: The nutrition provided by the high total-meat and protein-rich ingredients typically found in wet food make it ideal for active pets. In addition, wet food usually contains smaller amounts of carbohydrates and starches.

“We take pride in offering our neighbors a large range of products so they have everything they need to give their pet a happy and healthy life,” said Chris Rowland, Chief Executive Officer of Pet Supplies Plus. “With the addition of OptimPlus wet food, pet parents nationwide are able to optimize their pet’s nutrition at an optimal price. We look forward to continue being the one-stop-shop for pet parents and further expanding our offerings as the brand grows.”

OptimPlus dry and wet food formulas are just as unique as each pet, focusing on their life stage, breed size, dietary needs and overall health. To provide pets with a balanced diet, our natural dog and cat foods include an enriching blend of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. OptimPlus products are also made in the USA with deliberately selected ingredients from around the world and use real animal proteins.

Pet Supplies Plus offers a wide array of natural pet foods and a variety of US-made pet consumables, including food, treats, rawhide and chews. Every store is set in welcoming neighborhood environments and supported by team members who get to know their neighbors and pets by name. Full-service grooming, self-serve pet wash stations and fresh bakery treats are also available in-store at many locations. Furthermore, neighbors can fill prescriptions online and receive home delivery for quality medications and specialty diets. Whether shopping in-store or online, choosing local is easy. For more information, visit www.petsuppliesplus.com.

Mosquito Joe® Sets the Stage for National Mosquito Control Awareness Week, Championing Global Health

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-06-14T10:19:53-04:00June 14th, 2023|Tags: eliminating mosquitoes and ticks from outdoor living spaces, Lyme disease, Mosquito Joe, outdoor pest control|

Leading Pest Control Company’s Annual Charity Campaign Promotes Mosquito Safety and Community Impact.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Mosquito Joe^®, a Neighborly^® company, is taking a proactive stance against mosquitoes as it kicks off National Mosquito Control Awareness Week, June 18-24. The leading pest control company aims to educate the public about protecting people and their homes from these blood-sucking pests while raising awareness about the diseases they potentially carry. The week also marks the launch of Mosquito Joe’s Beat the Bloodsuckers campaign, a charitable initiative that aims to make a global impact by supporting those at the highest risk of mosquito-borne illnesses.

Mosquitoes are not just irritating pests disrupting outdoor summer activities; they pose a significant threat to public health as carriers of diseases. In the U.S., the most common mosquito-borne disease is West Nile virus, followed by rising cases of dengue fever and the Zika virus.

To help homeowners combat these persistent bugs, Mosquito Joe offers essential tips for mosquito safety during National Mosquito Control Awareness Week:

Eliminate Standing Water: Remove or empty containers that can hold water, such as flower pots, watering cans, and buckets, as standing water can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Store any outdoor items that can collect rainwater in covered areas or place them upside-down.
Use Outdoor Fans: Mosquitoes do not like excessive air movement, so setting up an outdoor fan can create a breeze that makes it difficult for them to fly and infest an area.
Maintain Your Yard and Pools: Regularly mow and maintain your lawn to prevent tall grass that serves as a resting area for mosquitoes. Dispose of any debris and leaf piles that can retain water or moisture. Keep swimming pools clean, properly circulated and filtered. When not in use, use a pool cover to help keep your water mosquito-free.
Install Screens for Your Windows and Doors: Ensure all windows and doors that are kept open during the summer weather have fitted screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering the house.
Use Effective Repellents: Apply mosquito repellents, containing DEET, picaridin or other EPA-approved ingredients. Consider using mosquito netting or screens to protect infants and young children in strollers.
Wear Protective Clothing: Opt for long sleeves, pants and socks when outdoors during the evenings. Choose light-colored and loose-fitting clothing for comfort and better visibility.
Seek Professional Assistance: If you’re dealing with a severe mosquito problem, consider hiring a professional pest control company like Mosquito Joe. The brand was awarded the Silver Tier by the EPA’s Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP) for its commitment to providing environmentally low-risk pest management control that’s both safe and effective in eliminating mosquitoes from homes.

National Mosquito Control Awareness Week also marks the commencement of Mosquito Joe’s 11^th annual Beat the Bloodsuckers campaign, which aims to raise awareness about mosquito-borne illnesses and make a meaningful difference in communities worldwide. Participating franchise locations nationwide are involved in one of two impactful ways:

Franchise owners partnering with the United Nations Foundation’s United to Beat Malaria campaign will donate $10 for every new customer serviced during the campaign week. This contribution will provide two life-saving mosquito nets to vulnerable families in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, where malaria remains a leading cause of death among children under five years old, according to the World Health Organization.
Franchise owners collaborating with local blood banks will donate 10 percent of new customer sales during the campaign week to their chosen organization, supporting the crucial mission of blood banks and highlighting the importance of blood donation.

“Our Beat the Bloodsuckers campaign has been an integral part of Mosquito Joe’s legacy for over a decade, embodying our commitment to giving back and supporting communities both near and far,” said Lou Schager, president of Mosquito Joe. “As global temperatures continue to rise, the surge in mosquito populations amplifies the risk of disease transmission. By actively participating in National Mosquito Control Awareness Week and launching this campaign, our aim is to foster greater awareness regarding the crucial need to safeguard ourselves, our families, and our homes from mosquitoes and the illnesses they carry.”

Casual Tex-Mex Franchise Announces Significant FDD Update Heading into Summer.

TAMPA, Fla. — Capital Tacos, the small-town taco shop turned nationally-acclaimed Tex-Mex restaurant franchise, announced what promises to be one of the most significant recent developments in the sector. In an effort to make the brand even more accessible to prospective franchisees, Capital Tacos is officially welcoming the addition of food trailers as an available investment opportunity for new and existing franchisees.

Capital Tacos will now allow its franchisees to mix and match between three formats: traditional brick and mortar restaurants, static trailers that serve as permanent locations, and mobile event trailers. This unparalleled level of flexibility enables each franchisee to customize the upfront cost and timeline associated with launching their Capital Tacos franchise, as well as how they direct the growth of their business. There has been palpable interest from prospective franchisees across all three formats, with some choosing to focus on one format over another and others considering launching multiple formats from the onset.

“Our low cost of investment has always been a significant point of pride, and a top selling point for franchisees vetting the field of viable fast casual and QSR concepts,” said Josh Luger, Co-Founder of Capital Tacos. “Including both static and mobile event trailers as an option for their investment only makes the brand more accessible, while furthering our ability to reach more folks with our innovative Tex-Mex in markets across the country even quicker. It’s a win-win.”

This announcement comes nearly six months after Capital Tacos began operating food trailers in the Tampa Bay area. In that time, Capital Tacos trailers have been seen at taco festivals, town fairs, high school and college sporting events, weddings, school and teacher celebrations, recurring food truck nights at local apartment complexes and large catering events for employers of all types. The overwhelming response and continued interest has been enough to cement the trailers as a permanent franchise offering.

“A very important aspect of the trailer testing we have done to date has been to perfect a proprietary kiosk ordering system that allows our trailers to fully function with just one person,” said James Marcus, Co-Founder of Capital Tacos. “This is a huge deal for franchisees as it means being able to open for business without having to first hire and train staff. So, whether someone is interested in our mobile event trailer or positioning our static trailer in a specific location, the owner operator is able to run either concept entirely by themselves, if they so desire.”

Capital Tacos is currently seeking single-unit and multi-unit franchisees interested in new career opportunities or those looking to diversify their current portfolios.
