I believe this city is headed in the right direction with its growth and prosperity and I am proud, and excited, to be a small part of that.”

Zoom Drain is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and there’s never any additional cost for “off hours” service such as nights, weekends, or even holidays.

“We are thrilled to have Zeke Malz join the Zoom Drain team and bring his expert services to Jacksonville,” said Jim Criniti, CEO of Zoom Drain. “Drain and sewer emergencies are a nightmare for anyone, so offering skilled and reliable services to the Jacksonville community is a priority for us and we’re looking forward to growing our brand in the area and beyond.”

Nationally-Acclaimed QSR Concept Launches Nationwide Campaign to Benefit Foundation.

TAMPA BAY, Fla. — Capital Tacos, one of the nation’s most beloved Tex-Mex franchise brands, has announced a month-long campaign in partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation® running from June 5^th to July 5^th. During that window, Capital Tacos locations across Tampa and Orlando will introduce the Make-A-Wish Mac N Queso Kids Meal to the menu and donate 100% of the profits to support the wish-making efforts of the foundation.

“To be able to take part in such a meaningful, life-changing endeavor has been beyond rewarding for everyone here at Capital Tacos,” said Josh Luger, Co-Founder of Capital Tacos. “It’s a powerful reminder and reinforcement of our daily mission: to be an asset to the communities we serve, to be a family-friendly destination, and to drive connectivity through our passion for food and flavor.”

At the heart of this partnership is a Wish Kid – ‘Chef’ Diego’ – who, after successfully undergoing treatment for a brain tumor, expressed his dream to meet one of America’s most recognizable and influential celebrity chefs. A wish that the Make-A-Wish team is gearing up to bring to fruition, and that compelled Capital Tacos to invite him to go behind-the-scenes with their culinary crew to craft the campaign’s menu special.

“We are delighted to partner with Capital Tacos to bring hope, strength, and joy to local children battling critical illnesses. Not only did they provide joy for wish kid Diego as he worked with the Capital Tacos team to create the Make-A-Wish Mac N Queso Kids Meal, but sales of that meal will go a long way in granting wishes like Diego’s. Thank you, Capital Tacos, for your incredible support.” – Anne Cuba, President & CEO of Make-A-Wish Central and Northern Florida.

The Make-A-Wish Mac N Queso Kids Meal features a never-before-seen Tex-Mex take on Mac N Cheese: with Capital Tacos signature queso leading a cheesy mix alongside freshly boiled noodles. Like all Capital Tacos kids’ meals, it will also come with a choice of side – hand-cut chips or hand-spiced fries – as well as mini churros with whipped cream for dessert and a fountain drink of choice.

ABOUT MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION:

Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Make-A-Wish is the #1 most trusted nonprofit operating locally in all 50 states throughout the U.S. Together with generous donors, supporters, staff, and more than 24,000 volunteers across the country, Make-A-Wish delivers hope and joy to children and their families when they need it most.

Island Fin Poké Co. is Throwing Their Hat into the Digital TV Arena with Their First National Quality TV Commercial

ORLANDO, Fla. — Island Fin Poké Co., America’s best poké restaurant that specializes in Hawaiian-style poké bowls, is making a big splash with the launch of its first national quality TV commercial, created by its agency of record, San Diego-based InnoVision Marketing Group. The 30-second commercial, which features the restaurant’s fresh, healthy and delicious poké bowls, has debuted on digital streaming services, targeting a broad audience of food lovers and health enthusiasts. To view the 30-second commercial, click here.

InnoVision Marketing Group, a bilingual full-service marketing agency, concepted and created the colorful commercial featuring Island Fin’s endless combinations of deliciously healthy poké. The agency’s creative team worked closely with Island Fin Poké Co. to truly capture the essence of the brand. The creative strategy is to remove the fear associated with trying poké for the first time, educating first-time guests that poké can be made with any protein, chicken, fish or tofu, the delicious flavors that Island Fin Poké Co. offers and that with so many combinations on delicious bowls, you are all but guaranteed to find several that guests will love.

“Island Fin Poké Co. is so delicious, colorful and our creative strategy behind this commercial reflects just that,” said Giselle Campos, Sr. Vice President / Sr. Creative Director. “It features stunning images of Island Fin’s colorful poké bowls and is accompanied by upbeat music with a voiceover that highlights the restaurant’s commitment to quality and freshness. It poses the question of what makes a meal incredible, eventually leading to how Island Fin’s is incredible and how the bold and exotic flavors are added in to make the meal exciting, yet approachable, while showcasing its endless combinations of flavors.”

The flavor variations surprise even the most hesitant guests whenever they try Island Fin for the very first time. In fact, franchisees have experienced almost a one hundred percent sales conversion after guests are offered to sample the poké, because the experience is so surprisingly delightful. This inspired the brand to implement their “One Bite and You’ll Be Hooked” campaign back in December, where new guests can try a free two-ounce sample of one their popular flavor combinations. To this day, this campaign is still extremely successful in changing the perception of poké and turning skeptics into loyal guests.

“We’re so elated to unveil our very first national quality commercial and present our brand on an even wider scale through digital TV,” said Mark Setterington, CEO and founder of Island Fin Poké Co. “Our poké bowls are made with only the freshest ingredients and are a healthy and delicious option. This commercial captures the true meaning of one bite and you’ll be hooked, and we can’t wait for the world to see it.”

Island Fin Poké Co. recently announced InnoVision Marketing Group as its agency of record to elevate the brand and expand the franchise. The agency knows the importance of strategy and creativity, along with the importance of producing extraordinary results and memorable advertising. InnoVision has a world-class service model, 24/7 accessibility and offers everything under the marketing umbrella in-house. The marketing group currently has seven divisions and service lines, including brand strategy, digital media, advertising, creative, film production, traditional media, public relations, Hispanic Marketing, and social media & reputation management.

Island Fin has always remained consistent and continues to provide every guest with unparalleled service and a family-like atmosphere. From curated music to only using the freshest ingredients, every Island Fin Poké Co. location offers an extraordinary sensory adventure. This means each time a guest steps into an Island Fin and enjoys a poké bowl, they are experiencing the IncrediBOWL.

Local Entrepreneurs to Hold Grand Opening Celebration for Travelers Looking to Book the Perfect Vacation!

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Planning a vacation has just become a lot easier for families in Riverside with the announcement of a new Expedia Cruises location opening at 301 E. Alessandro Blvd., Ste. 3D in the Mission Grove Plaza Shopping Center.

The location is owned and operated by local entrepreneurs, Abbie Joseph-Harrington and Neal Harrington, who have a team of Vacation Consultants on site, with a total of 32 consultants working to book travelers’ perfect vacations.

After living in the Pacific Northwest for their entire lives, the Harringtons moved to Southern California 13 years ago when Abbie’s Vacation Ownership sales management position transferred her to Indio in the Coachella Valley. Abbie has spent her career working as a sales representative, sales trainer, sales manager, and sales director as well as owning several small businesses along the way, including two award-winning Allstate Insurance agencies. Before joining Abbie in their Allstate business, Neal taught high school auto shop for many years and after selling their insurance agencies, returned to teaching and currently teaches shop classes at Sherman Indian High School in Riverside.

In 2019, the entrepreneurial couple received a flyer from Expedia Cruises that showcased the brand’s franchising opportunity. Attracted to the combination of business ownership and worldwide travel opportunities, Neal and Abbie made the decision to once again go into business for themselves and bring an Expedia Cruises franchise location to their home community. Although they had plans to open the Riverside location in 2020, they were delayed due to the pandemic, but the couple never lost the vision of opening their Center.

“As avid cruisers and travelers ourselves, helping plan the perfect vacation for our clients is something that just makes sense to us,” said Abbie, owner of Expedia Cruises in Riverside. “Having the Expedia brand connected to our franchise allows clients to have confidence that we are masters of travel, and we can help make their vacation planning easier.”

To celebrate the grand opening, the location will be hosting an open house on Tuesday, June 6 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., where travelers can meet with consultants and travel experts. There will also be an Information Session that highlights Expedia Cruises’ exclusive 3 Day Sale with Princess Cruises from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., as well as light refreshments and door prizes. Seating is limited, so RSVP today at (951) 386-0111.

Expedia Cruises – part of the Expedia Group family of brands – offers cruise vacations and full-service travel assistance through its 255+ locations across North America. Customers can choose from numerous vacation possibilities by air, land, and sea, including ocean, river, and expedition cruising, customized trips, coach & rail tours, and all-inclusive resort vacations, to name just a few. Expedia Cruises provides peace of mind for its clients through the brand’s travel insurance offerings, as well. And all services are provided at Expedia prices!

In addition to the research and booking features available on their local website, www.expediacruises.com/RiversideCA, Abbie and her team offer personalized vacation consultations in-person, through email, and over the phone, so Expedia Cruises’ clients always have the freedom to book when, where, and how they choose!

Expedia Cruises Vacation Consultants are provided with extensive training and marketing support, allowing them to become navigators of spectacular vacation experiences. For more information and to research vacation options, visit www.expediacruises.com/RiversideCA, or call (951) 386-0111.

Always Best Care Shares Tips To Keep Seniors Safe This Summer

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-06-02T13:37:14-04:00June 2nd, 2023|Tags: Always Best Care Senior Services, Always in Touch program, assisted living placement services, non-medical in-home care, senior care franchise systems, skilled home health care|

Leading senior care franchise caregivers help loved ones and their families beat the heat.

ROSEVILLE, Calif. — The expert caregivers at Always Best Care Senior Services, one of the leading senior care franchise systems in the United States, know the summer months are a time for families to be extra-vigilant about keeping their older loved ones safe at home. Adults 65 and older are more vulnerable to heat and dehydration, making it important to check in on them often or hire an in-home caregiver to assist with daily visits and monitoring.

“Always Best Care is expanding across the country as the senior population grows and more families are looking for that extra support to help take care of their loved ones,” said Jake Brown, President and CEO of Always Best Care. “In the last few years, we have seen a surge of new offices open in states such as North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Washington and Hawaii, to name a few. Going into these summer months, we know there will be an increased demand for our caregiving teams to help their clients beat the heat and stay safe at home.”

A few senior-related facts and tips to keep in mind this summer:

Adults over 65 often do not adjust as well to sudden changes in temperature and are more prone to heat stress.
They are also more likely to have a chronic medical condition that changes normal body responses to heat, and they often take prescription medicines that impair the body’s ability to regulate its temperature or that inhibit perspiration.
Seniors are especially vulnerable to becoming dehydrated in hot weather. By the time they feel thirsty, they might be already experiencing the effects of mild dehydration.
Check on aging loved ones regularly throughout the summer. Make sure their home is cool enough to be comfortable and encourage them to drink plenty of water and limit their exposure to direct sunlight.
During the intense heat waves, seniors should have a visitor at least once per day to ensure that they’re safe and healthy. In-home caregivers from Always Best Care provide this type of companionship and can assist with developing a safety plan. They are also able to give medication reminders, encourage drinking plenty of water and ensure they are receiving plenty of electrolytes.

“In-home caregivers can be a wonderful resource for helping seniors reduce their risk of becoming dehydrated,” said Sheila Davis, senior vice president of area operations for Always Best Care. “In addition to regular reminders to keep drinking throughout the day, they can assist with meal planning and preparation so that there are foods with high water content, electrolytes, and potassium readily available for meals and snacks. They can also pay attention for signs of potential dehydration and encourage more water intake or seek medical care. Always Best Care caregivers are trained to observe and report any changes in behavior.”

Always Best Care also provides its clients with a free telephone reassurance program called Always In Touch, which offers complimentary daily check-ins or weekly socialization calls.

Always Best Care is one of the nation’s leading providers of non-medical in-home care and assisted living referral services, with skilled home health care in limited markets. The company delivers its services through an international network of more than 225 independently owned and operated franchise territories throughout the United States and Canada. By working with case managers, social workers, discharge planners, doctors, and families, Always Best Care franchise owners provide affordable, comprehensive solutions that can be specifically matched to meet a client’s particular physical or social needs.

Both franchisees bring with them deep roots in the restaurant space – from having spent time as an executive chef, to having owned and operated a popular local Jacksonville restaurant chain. They were drawn to Capital Tacos for its dedication to scratch-made, quality Tex-Mex flavors, innovative menu, and whimsical culture.

The franchisees have expressed a hope to introduce even more venues to the area once the Jacksonville community has had the chance to become familiar with the brand and its award-winning food.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing the handcrafted flavors of Capital Tacos to Jacksonville as we continue to branch out into every corner of our home state of Florida,” said Josh Luger, Co-Founder of Capital Tacos. “Given the extensive history our newest franchisees have in the restaurant industry, we’re confident this new location will find quick success.”

Since launching its franchise program in early 2022, Capital Tacos has expanded far beyond Tampa, with brick-and-mortar restaurants open or under development in Atlanta, Charlotte, Colorado, and markets throughout Florida, many of which are opening this summer.

“After being in Florida for 10 years and branching out coast to coast, it’s amazing to see there are still significant opportunities to break ground in new territories in our home state,” said James Marcus, Co-Founder of Capital Tacos. “This deal to introduce the Jacksonville area to Capital Tacos isn’t just about expanding our business; it’s about sparking the passion for our authentic flavors and cultivating a Tex-Mex revolution that brings people together, one bite at a time.”

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

Send Me A Pro Ranked by Entrepreneur Magazine as Fastest Growing Franchise in 2023, Hits 100+ Locations in 2 Years

Diversify Your Investment With Our Multi-Service Franchise Model;

Everything from fitness & sports trainers, pet care providers, tutors, residential cleaning, lawn care, handyman services and much more.

MIAMI — Send Me A Pro has been recognized as one of the Fastest Growing Franchises in 2023 by Entrepreneur magazine. The ranking highlights the fastest growing franchises that are gaining strong traction.

“It is an honor to be recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine amongst the Fastest Growing Franchises in 2023,” says Bary El-Yacoubi, Co-Founder of Send Me A Pro. “In under two years we have established over 100 territories across the USA, Canada, UK and Dubai. Less than 16% of franchise systems reach the 100-unit threshold within 10 years. To receive this award in only our second year of franchising is a testament to the strong demand for our innovative franchise system.”

“The ability to offer multiple service businesses under one franchise is groundbreaking and is disrupting the franchise industry,” says Muhssin El-Yacoubi, Co-Founder of Send Me A Pro. “Historically speaking, every category is a standalone franchise. No one has ever aggregated multiple services with an Uber like experience under one franchise, until now. Send Me A Pro is changing the way people think of franchising as they don’t have to limit themselves to just one category anymore. Franchisees can now mitigate their risk and diversify their investment with our multi-service franchise model and this is what is leading to our exponential growth”.

“In the past decade we have seen the emergence of online marketplaces for products (such as Amazon), and this next decade will be about the digitization of the services economy with more services being booked online,” says Muhssin El-Yacoubi, Co-Founder of Send Me A Pro. “Our goal is to reduce the number of steps that it takes someone to connect with a local provider. This is done through curating an exclusive network of vetted providers, done-for-you booking, fixed pricing, and better customer service provided by our local franchise owner. ”

Send Me A Pro also leverages the boom in the gig economy that offers flexible gigs and work to local pros. The number of pros for each category is also limited and this ensures that the pros get booked more regularly. Pro’s enjoy being part of our platform because it’s a reliable source to get a consistent flow of new gigs.

“Since introducing the ability to add more services with Send Me A Pro, the number of inquiries from prospective franchise candidates has over tripled,” says Bary El-Yacoubi, Co-Founder of Send Me A Pro. “Franchise consultants and brokers that help prospective franchise owners select a franchise are telling us that they have never seen such an exciting reaction from their clients as when introduced to Send Me A Pro. People that were once looking for a handyman, dog walking, or maid service franchise are now considering Send Me A Pro. It’s an obvious choice for them as they can now simply offer all of these services and more through Send Me A Pro”.

Franchisees can also continue to add more service categories and prioritize services that are in high demand in their market. Franchisees are identifying popular services that are already being offered by other businesses in their markets and this is their validation to add these services to their Send Me A Pro platform.

For prospective new business owners, Send Me A Pro offers a modern business for the modern entrepreneur. Franchisees are attracted to our scalable, technology-enabled, home based business model with low overhead, no physical location and passive ownership options.

We have also received an influx of E-2 visa candidates as Send Me A Pro Franchise is very suitable for US immigrant visa applicants. To learn more about E-2, Franchise and international Master Franchise opportunities with Send Me A Pro and to apply, visit: https://www.sendmeaprofranchise.com.

Seasoned Franchising Veteran Brings Best Practices in Franchise Compliance to Top-Tier Franchise Sales Organization.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — FranDevCo, a franchise development company specializing in emerging and growth-oriented franchise brands announces the appointment of Drew Chalfant as its new Chief Operating Officer. Chalfant is coming in as both Chief Operating Officer and a partner alongside franchise-industry veterans Jeff Dudan, Michael Abdy, and Sung Ohm.

Chalfant began his franchising industry career eight years ago as in-house legal counsel for St. Gregory Development Group. Over the years, he has served as in-house legal counsel for CycleBar, Fueled Collective and Shred415, as well as co-founder and managing partner of Roda Chalfant Franchise Law, a boutique franchise law firm that was named an Entrepreneur Magazine “Top Franchise Supplier” in the legal category in its second year of existence. In that role, Chalfant managed a team of attorneys that took over 100 franchisors to market through preparation of their Franchise Disclosure Documents and all related agreements.

The role at FranDevCo is an opportunity for Chalfant to combine his franchise legal expertise with his passion for the franchise business growth model and franchise development.

“While I found great fulfillment working with mainly emerging brands during my time at the law firm, I look forward to putting my background and experience in franchising to work at FranDevCo, where our brands are positioned in a more adolescent to mature stage of their brand lifecycle,” Chalfant said. “Franchising is truly a force multiplier. I’m honored and humbled to have the opportunity to help drive smart growth across the many great brands that FranDevCo works with.”

As COO, Chalfant will support and manage all key business operations, including sales, marketing, business development, finance, operations, and compliance. Chalfant will be responsible for enhancing FranDevCo’s reputation in the franchise industry as a top-tier franchise sales organization. He’ll also leverage his background as a franchise attorney to build upon the current best practices in franchise compliance – allowing the brands that FranDevCo represents to grow with confidence within the regulatory framework of the franchise industry.

“With franchising being such a heavily regulated industry full of nuance and complexity, Drew’s legal background and vast franchise experience brings significant value to our organization,” said FranDevCo’s President and CEO Sung Ohm. “He will be instrumental in continuing to deliver on the FranDevCo mission of helping entrepreneurs find financial independence through franchising.”

FranDevCo provides outsourced franchise development services to national and international brands as they look to increase their footprint. The brand curates the entire franchise sales lifecycle from initial lead generation through prospect education to deal closure. FranDevCo works with franchisors to perfect their entire development process, bring qualified franchise leads, and drive explosive growth.
