2023-07-12T14:03:02-04:00July 12th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — real hot yoga, emerging hot yoga franchise concept, continues to expand their franchise footprint, with the announcement of 3 new awarded units. Their new locations will include DallasPhoenix, and a 5th northern New Jersey studio, in Essex County. In total, this brings the brand to have 15 locations, including their 6 corporately owned studios.

The brand has been steadily building their franchisee family, since awarding their 1st franchise in March 2021. While the excitement of expansion certainly exists, real hot yoga continues to be laser focused on pinpointing who franchises are awarded to.

One of the brand’s Founding Partners, Aaron Goodman, says, “Would we love to see a real hot yoga in every neighborhood, and have the opportunity to reach as many people as we can through yoga? – of course! Are we going to award a franchise to anyone who can afford it, happens to enjoy yoga, or is looking for a side hustle? – No, we aren’t going to do that. While we are conservative in cost, compared to some other brands in our space, we recognize this might be someone’s life savings, and we don’t take that lightly at all. We also want to protect the integrity of our brand, so opening up, just to shut down, isn’t good for anyone. With that in mind, we vet our candidates heavily. This is a serious investment, for candidates who are ready to work, have strong management skills, and are committed to the success of their location. If all those boxes are checked and you have a passion for helping others, this can be a high revenue earning opportunity for the right person. Having a great time, and enjoying the community you’ll build, is a great added benefit of working in the health and wellness space.”

Seasoned Executive Brings 30 Years of Experience in Retail & Hospitality to Fast Growing Dog Training Franchise. 

LOS ANGELES — Zoom Room, the venture-backed, revolutionary indoor dog training gym, announces today the appointment of Herb Heiserman as Executive Vice President of Design and Construction. This announcement comes on the heels of the company signing its largest multi-unit deal, continuing an incredible growth path, and looking toward tremendous expansion ahead.

This leadership addition comes at a pivotal moment in the business’ trajectory, as Zoom Room is anticipated to increase its national footprint to 200 units in the next year. Heiserman, regarded as a leading figure in design and construction across the retail and hospitality fields, brings with him an unparalleled depth of experience that will be critical in the development of these imminent franchise locations.

Heiserman has a strong track record of driving meaningful business growth. Prior to Zoom Room, he served as Managing Principal at Streetsense, specializing in the real estate, retail and hospitality industries. During his time there focusing on architecture, interior design, branding, and development, the design firm grew exponentially with a staff increase of 350% in a 6-year period. With a Master of Architecture from the University of Maryland, Heiserman spent over 25 years as Principal and Owner of The Heiserman Group, a second-generation firm started by his father in 1972. He grew the company into a nationally recognized firm, overseeing all phases of project design and administration for regionally and nationally expanding retail and restaurant clients.

Having worked with the likes of Starbucks, Whole Foods, Panera, Banfield, and more, Heiserman has a keen understanding of how to craft an optimal, experiential retail space from a consumer’s perspective. He will leverage his strong background in this area to finetune design across future Zoom Room training facilities.

“We are so pleased to welcome Herb to the Zoom Room leadership team as we evolve to even grander heights,” stated Mark Van Wye, CEO of Zoom Room. “The Zoom Room customer knows that when they enter one of our locations, every aspect of the experience has been developed with careful thought and intentionality. The architectural flow of each facility is a central aspect of this, and we want every location to spark joy in all those who walk through the door. Herb’s extensive experience in the hospitality industry makes him uniquely suited to be at the forefront of developing these spaces.” 

Heiserman has a clear vision of opportunities ahead for Zoom Room. Immediately aiming to build out the business’ design and construction department, he will cultivate meaningful connections with contractors and architects on behalf of the franchise community. A key aspect of his structural impact will be the simplification of the process franchisees undergo when opening new locations. Whether through cost efficiencies, design solutions or construction timelines, Heiserman will support a more seamless franchisee experience.

“I’m honored to join Mark and the incredibly passionate team at Zoom Room during this exciting phase of growth. As new and existing franchisees are recognizing the undeniable success of the business, my role will be to make their development journey as easy as possible,” said Herb Heiserman. “A lot of business owners are owners for the first time and there are often so many steps in the process that they haven’t done before. I hope to guide them to the best path forward to increase their ability to succeed, learn how people move through environments, improve design and efficiency for better results, sales, and training.”

The onboarding of Heiserman strengthens Zoom Room’s position as a prime opportunity for investors looking for a scalable and efficiently-run operation in the thriving pet industry. With a business model that continues to prove efficacy through its rapid unit growth and more 5-star ratings than any other dog training business in America, Heiserman’s appointment by Zoom Room signifies an even stronger dedication to delivering unparalleled dog training facilities.

Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce small business award recognizes the franchise’s growth, market service and promising future. 

SARASOTA, Fla. — Town Square Sarasota, an adult daycare and memory care center, is the winner of the Rising Star Award, an annual award from the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce recognizing best new Small Businesses. Part of a national reminiscence therapy franchise model, Town Square Sarasota opened February 2022, serving individuals with Alzheimer’s or related dementias.

The Sarasota Chamber 2023 Frank G. Berlin, Sr. Small Business Awards celebrates companies that have exceeded targets for growth and financial performance; best demonstrated an understanding of their competitors, customers, and their markets; and have the foundations in place for continued success.

The interior looks like a 50s main street with a diner, theater, city hall, park, library and more; guests move through these storefronts with the aid of highly-trained care staff, and participate in programming in each storefront, built to engage and entertain. Seniors enjoy socialization and programming while families and caregivers get a much-needed respite.

RNR Tire Express Surprises Michigan Dad with All-Expense-Paid Trip to Disneyland

2023-07-10T15:15:06-04:00July 10th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

Leading Franchise Retailer Announces Winning Family for 2023 Father’s Day Giveaway. 

TAMPA, Fla. — RNR Tire Express, a national franchise leader in the tire and wheel industry, is wrapping up the quarter in celebration after announcing the winner of their 2023 Father’s Day Giveaway. The annual initiative recognizes deserving fathers around the country, with one grand prize recipient being selected to take home a one-of-a-kind gift for themselves and their family. As mentioned earlier in the month, this year’s prize was an Indiana Jones-styled, all-expense-paid trip to Disneyland in California.

Efrim Johnson was surprised with that grand prize just days ago after having been nominated by his wife Tracy. She shared stories of her husband’s constant efforts to provide for country, community, and family as a former United States Marine, a volunteer firefighter, corrections officer, and, most importantly, as a father of 2.

Efrim even started a program through the family’s church back in 2014 called Men on a Mission. A program that connects fathers and sons with widows throughout the region in need of home repairs and services.

“There are few people that go above and beyond the way that a father does for his family,” says Larry Sutton, Founder and CEO of RNR Tire Express. “Hearing the countless stories that come in from all across the nation on fathers who are going the extra mile truly drives that point home, and makes this yearly give-back effort all the more rewarding for our entire team.”

RNR has a substantial track record of celebrating the Mother’s and Father’s Day holidays with free sets of tires and brand-new vehicles for select winners. And while that isn’t something the team is turning its attention away from, this year’s grand prize was meant to offer a deserving father with something more valuable than any inanimate object the franchise could ever offer; a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with those closest to him.

“It means the world to me – more than she’ll ever know – that my wife took it upon herself to go above and beyond in nominating me for such an extraordinary gift; especially one that will give my family and I memories to last a lifetime,” Efrim shared. “We can’t wait to enjoy a much-needed reprieve in Disneyland and couldn’t be more appreciative of the generosity shown to us by the team at RNR Tire Express.”

Leading Home Services Franchisor Launches Incentive Program to Create Ownership Path for Exemplary Employees of Franchisees. 

IRVINE, Calif. — Home Franchise Concepts announced the launch of an Ownership Program that encourages its franchisees to develop their employees by motivating them to tap into their entrepreneurial spirit. The program enables franchisees to recognize their model employees by providing them the mechanisms to own a franchise, as well as equipping them with educational tools critical to learning the ins-and-outs of running a small business.

“At Home Franchise Concepts, we not only want our franchisees to hire great employees, but we also want to give them different tools to retain those employees for years to come. As we thought about the best ways to do that, we recognized the opportunity to develop something that is aspirational for their team members, and at the same time offers more support for our franchisees to recruit and retain the best talent in their local market,” said Jonathan Thiessen, Chief Development Officer at Home Franchise Concepts. “Our Ownership Program allows us to recognize exceptional talent within our family of brands and provide them with the tools they need to succeed as future business owners.”

To participate in the Ownership Program, current Home Franchise Concepts franchisees have the opportunity to nominate exemplary employees on their team to be considered for enrollment. Not only is it required for nominated employees to have a stellar record within their respective franchise, but they must also have been an employee for a minimum of two years. The longer the term of their consecutive employment, the more of a discount they will receive should they choose to eventually purchase their own franchise within the Home Franchise Concepts brands which include Budget Blinds®, The Tailored Closet™, PremierGarage®, Concrete Craft®, AdvantaClean®, Lightspeed Restoration™, Kitchen Tune-Up®, Bath Tune-Up®, Two Maids® and Aussie Pet Mobile®.

The initial discount after two years of employment with a Home Franchise Concepts brand is 20% off the total initial franchise fees with an additional 10% earned per year of employment, up to 5 years or a maximum of a 50% discount.

For the educational portion of the program, Home Franchise Concepts will host various seminars every quarter, each focused on a different topic. Within these educational sessions, Home Franchise Concepts leadership will dive headfirst into various topics vital to running a successful business, from understanding leadership styles and market share to key practices for transitioning into working on the business instead of in the business, and so much more. The educational programming will be offered in self-paced, one-on-one and group sessions to meet the needs of every student.

With Home Franchise Concepts projected to hit $1.5B in system-wide sales in 2023 with goals of 220 new territories signed before year’s end, the Ownership Program will aid in growing the brand even further. Home Franchise Concepts plans to continue expanding its franchise footprint across multiple brands nationwide, targeting new territories in the United States and Canada for growth companywide.
