MaidPro Celebrates Back to School Season with Inaugural Fall Refresh Clean Home Contest

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-08-15T16:49:38-04:00August 15th, 2023|Tags: home cleaning services provider, MaidPro, professional home cleaning service franchisor|

Industry leader awards two winners free housecleaning services for a year, offers seasonal cleaning tips for all.

BOSTON — MaidPro, a leading professional home cleaning service franchisor, today announces the launch of its Fall Refresh Clean Home Contest. Two lucky winners will each receive one free cleaning per month for a year, compliments of the MaidPro PROs – bringing comfort, calm and new meaning to the expression, “clean house, clear mind.” Now through September 15, the home cleaning experts invite residents to jumpstart a stress-free fall and back to school season by entering at maidpro.com/contest.

MaidPro offers peace of mind that comes from a comfortable and tidy living space – resulting in less clutter and more relaxation at home. As the back to school season gets underway this fall, now is the ideal time to deep clean the home as regular routines and busy schedules resume. A clean home has been shown to impact energy levels, mood and motivation, and MaidPro wants to help residents and homeowners recharge and restart the school year with a refreshed, organized home.

“The fall season often signifies a transition from leisurely summer activities to a more structured, hectic lifestyle, and what better way to reset for the new season than with a deep clean for the home,” said Senior Manager for Brand Marketing Stephanie Toettcher. “The goal of our new program is to help make this transition easier for two lucky winners through the Fall Refresh Clean Home Contest – awarding each winner a year of house cleaning services compliments of our incredible MaidPro team.”

MaidPro’s mission is to help its customers spend more time enjoying life, doing the things they love. The company’s 49-Point Checklist ensures customers’ homes receive a thorough clean top to bottom, leaving homeowners with the satisfaction that comes with a tidy space. On the heels of the company’s 2022 brand refresh which included an updated website to ensure an easy and effective experience for clients, MaidPro has also doubled down on its commitment to providing the stress relief, relaxation and comfort achieved through a clean home environment.

For those looking to tackle their own cleaning list, MaidPro offers these top tips for fall:

Start with a plan: Make a list of tasks and prioritize. Make sure to account for every room and space in the home – from closets to cabinets – to help stay organized and on task.
Declutter first: thoroughly assess each space, removing items that are no longer needed or used, and donating or recycling as much as possible.
Clean top to bottom: dust and clean ceiling fixtures first, then move to walls, windows and finally, floorboards and floors.
Tackle one room thoroughly at a time, rather than jumping from room to room. This gives the right amount of attention to each space, resulting in a more thorough clean.
Don’t forget the outdoors: clean outdoor spaces, including patios, walkways, decks and balconies. Power wash exterior surfaces when possible to remove dirt and summer grime.

For MaidPro’s Fall Refresh Clean Home Contest, eligible participants must be 18 years or older at the time of entry and be a legal resident of any state or province in which a MaidPro franchise is open and operating during the entry period. Participants’ home address must be located within an owned franchisee territory. Entry period is Aug. 15 – Sept. 15, 2023; one entry per person. Winners will be notified via email by MaidPro’s Corporate office. Winners will be selected by Sept. 20 and notified by Sept. 29.

Island Fin Poké Co. Hosts Third Annual Franchise Conference Emphasizing Brand Consistency and IncrediBOWL Guest Experience

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-08-14T14:03:10-04:00August 14th, 2023|Tags: fast-casual concept, Hawaiian-style build-your-own poké bowls, Island Fin Poké Co.|

ORLANDO, Fla. — Island Fin Poké Co., America’s favorite poké restaurant, is thrilled to announce its highly anticipated Third Annual Franchise Conference, set to take place in the vibrant city of Miami, Aug. 27th to 29th. After last year’s successful conference in Orlando, this year’s event promises to be even bigger and better with the theme of “Riding the Wave of Success” all while bringing together even more franchisees, partners and corporate leaders to promote a stronger sense of community within the Island Fin brand.

At Island Fin Poké Co., the essence of Ohana goes beyond a Hawaiian word that means family; it’s a way of life. The brand is deeply committed to fostering a close-knit and supportive community among its franchisees, cultivating an environment where every member feels valued and cherished. The Annual Franchise Conference serves as a cornerstone event to strengthen this bond, encouraging franchisees to share experiences, learn from one another and collectively elevate the brand to new heights.

Franchisees will learn more about the different Island Fin business models, vendors, marketing strategies and trends, through a diverse lineup of expert speakers and workshops. The keynote speaker for this year is Patrick Nellis, the District Director of the Center for Institutional and Organizational Learning (CIOL) at Miami Dade College.

There will also be Virtual Reality workshop training, informative/interactive sessions and fun-filled team bonding events. Attendees will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Island Fin experience, gaining deeper insights into the brand’s culture, community engagement and commitment to quality and sustainability.

“We are thrilled to bring our third Annual Franchise Conference to the vibrant city of Miami,” said Mark Setterington, CEO and founder of Island Fin Poké Co. “We firmly believe that collaboration and a shared vision are key to achieving success, and this conference presents an incredible opportunity for all of us to come together, learn from each other, celebrate our success as a brand and forge meaningful connections that will drive the growth of our brand.”

Over the last year, Island Fin has grown into one of America’s Best Poké restaurants and is considered one of the top hottest brands for 2023 alongside Starbucks, Plant Power and Taco Bell, according to the Lunchbox list of Top 30 Brands. Lunchbox created this inaugural list that highlights the top players that are redefining what it means to be a leading brand in the restaurant space. The brand is also ranked #29 on the 2023 Top New & Emerging Franchises list by Entrepreneur Magazine, a leading online franchise publication, and now has 28 locations open with 58 other units sold.

These recognitions and accolades are because of Island Fin’s brand concept: That every Island Fin Poké Co. location offers a six sensory experience and every franchisee takes great pride in fulfilling that for their guests. This means each time a guest experiences a poké bowl at Island Fin, they are experiencing the IncrediBOWL, which is personally crafted by the team members to their guests’ liking.

In the spirit of Ohana, Island Fin Poké Co. ensures that there is something for everyone to enjoy, so the brand offers chicken, tofu and spam protein options, in addition to the traditional fish options of the freshest boat-to-bowl tuna, salmon, shrimp and octopus. To top it off, the brand serves something that everyone loves: an assortment of delicious and refreshing Dole Soft Serve® flavors.

Perhaps one of the most extraordinary and unique features at every Island Fin is the absence of trash cans and dining trays in the dining room. Unlike all other fast-casual and fast-food restaurants, the Island Fin team members will serve each guest their food and clear the empty dishes and trash at the end of every meal, making the guest’s experience truly memorable. Additionally, Island Fin offers a wide variety of choices and preferences that allows guests to create endless combinations of gluten-free poké bowls.

Island Fin Poké Co.’s Third Annual Franchise Conference promises to be an unforgettable experience for all attendees, strengthening bonds within the Island Fin Ohana and setting the stage for an exciting future of expansion and success. For more information on their third conference, visit Island Fin Poké Co.’s website at www.IslandFinPoke.com or contact Bianca Kasawdish for media inquiries at Bianca@TeamInnoVision.com.

Top Rail Fence expands its footprint into Missouri with a St. Charles location

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-08-14T13:55:14-04:00August 14th, 2023|Tags: fencing solutions, HomeFront Brands, residential and commercial services, Top Rail Fence|

Local owners want to restore customer service in the property service industry by improving responsiveness and on-time delivery.

ST. CHARLES, Mo. — Top Rail Fence, the on-time professionals in fence design, quality, installation, and service, is expanding into Missouri with a new location in the St. Charles area. Local owners Jonathan Arnold and Ray Wolff say they want to restore consumer confidence in the property service industry.

“I bought a home during the COVID-19 pandemic and had the worst experience trying to hire home service contractors,” Arnold said. “They would either not show up when they said they were going to or not show up at all. And, I heard from others who had tried to hire contractors that this was a common practice. I want Top Rail Fence St. Charles to be a contractor that does what we say we’re going to do. We’re setting out to change the opinion about contractors in the St. Charles community.”

Wolff also cited the lack of customer service during the pandemic as a catalyst for joining the ranks of the property service industry as an owner. He will serve as the location’s general manager, handling the day-to-day activities of the fencing company and ensuring Top Rail Fence St. Charles exceeds customer expectations.

Arnold is a native Missourian and has lived in the St. Charles/St. Louis area for 27 years. He is a graduate of Western Illinois University in Macomb, Illinois, and has worked in marketing and operations for several media companies and other large corporations throughout his career. He continues to work in operations for a large healthcare organization but eventually wants to spend the majority of his time growing his Top Rail Fence company.

Wolff worked in the financial sector and in corporate compensation where he managed the compensation portfolio for a 24,000-member sales and marketing staff. After working in corporate America for more than 16 years, Wolff decided to pursue his entrepreneurial interests and joined Arnold to open and manage the fencing company.

Arnold said he sees his company as a business with the capacity to grow quickly in his service area.

“This is the Midwest,” he said. “We have big houses and big yards and with big yards come big fences. There is a lot of new growth in this area. The little communities here have grown into bigger communities that now touch one another. There are new homeowners moving in all the time.”

Top Rail Fence St. Charles serves St. Charles, Saint Peters, Troy, O’Fallon, Winfield and Moscow Mills, Missouri. The company offers fencing for residential, commercial and farming customers.

Top Rail Fence is a part of HomeFront Brands, a family of emerging, franchised residential and commercial property service brands that includes Top Rail Fence, Temporary Wall Systems, BiltRite Home Inspections, The Designery, Window Hero Exterior Cleaning Services and Mozzie Dome.

Clean Eatz Partners with Department of Defense on Meal Kit Delivery for Military Bases

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-08-10T16:28:57-04:00August 10th, 2023|Tags: Clean Eatz, health and wellness education, health and wellness restaurant concept, meal plans, prepackaged food options|

Health Food Restaurant Franchise Sends First Shipments Out to Iwakuni, Japan.

WILMINGTON, N.C. — Clean Eatz Kitchen, the premiere meal prep franchise in the health food landscape, delivered the brand’s first-ever international meal shipment to Iwakuni, Japan on August 1^st. It’s all part of the franchise’s latest partnership with the United States Department of Defense, with a goal to supply military bases with reliable access to nutritionist-approved, chef-inspired meal kits.

The franchise now joins a select few meal delivery concepts operating on a multi-national level. While consumer access is still restricted to a domestic clientele, the Clean Eatz team hopes this partnership will serve as a stepping stone toward building trust and recognition in the global marketplace.

“Our meal kit delivery service has gained significant traction amongst the American public over these last few years – the pandemic having been a significant component in that,” said Jason Nista, CEO of Clean Eatz Kitchen. “Having this vote of confidence from the U.S. Government will certainly prove instrumental in maintaining that growth and expanding our boundaries as we continue moving forward.”

Unlike other meal prep companies, Clean Eatz prioritizes fitness, freshness and seasonal ingredients. When you order prepared meals from Clean Eatz, they’re cooked and sent fresh to you within 3 days. This makes all the difference when it comes to maximum flavor and nutrition, and is why the franchise has become a staple in the lives of tens of thousands of men, women, and families across the country.

According to a report issued by Grand View Research, the global meal kit delivery services market was valued at $20.54 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a rate of 15.3% annually from 2023 to 2030. The report cites increasing preference for home-cooked and chef-cooked food among millennials and younger generations, as well as the economic benefits of homemade meals over take-out, as contributing factors for the growth of the market.

“2023 has been very touch-and-go for the meal delivery industry, with companies cutting staff, shrinking operations, and some even closing up shop for good,” said Evonne Varady, Co-founder of Clean Eatz. “It has been the continued development of the Clean Eatz concept, and others like it, that’s fueling the long-term viability and adoption of the sectors convenience. This partnership is a shining example of where that development can take us.”

To learn more about Clean Eatz Kitchen and details on their meal kit services, visit www.cleaneatzkitchen.com.

About Clean Eatz:

Clean Eatz, which launched in 2011 and started franchising in 2015, was co-founded by husband-and-wife duo Don and Evonne Varady, as a means of helping individuals and families change their lives by providing them with better nutrition options, a steady dose of health and wellness education, and a diverse support community that’s committed to helping each other in becoming their best selves. By supplying such healthy alternatives, the Clean Eatz brand has continued to win over communities with their dine-in, grab-n-go, catering, marketplace, and weekly online meal plan selections. With 94 locations operational and 87 in development, the franchise will likely be coming to an address near you soon.

Mechanical Engineer Turned Franchisee to Open Wellness Retreat in Southlake.

DALLAS — Massage Heights, a leading massage and wellness franchise, announces a signed franchise agreement in the Dallas market, further growing in the brand’s home state. The location will provide an elevated experience to those in the Southlake community who are seeking personalized wellness treatment options. The retreat is located at 100 W Southlake Blvd Suite 175.

Behind the new agreement is Texas native and first-time franchisee, James Crawford. Crawford spent nearly a decade as a mechanical engineer and also started his own real estate business. Despite finding success in these avenues, Crawford hit a roadblock after facing several injuries and surgeries which forced him to slow down his workaholic lifestyle. He found that massage therapy helped with pain relief and inspired him to pursue a new career venture. Coupled with his interest in becoming a business owner and seeking out improved mental and physical health, Massage Heights was the answer he was looking for.

“When life presented me with unforeseen challenges, I saw an opportunity for transformation,” said Crawford. “In determining what would be next as I looked at new business endeavors, I discovered profound potential with Massage Heights.

Early Childhood Education Franchise Debuts Prototype Designs While Expanding into New Regions Across the Country.

BALTIMORE — Celebree School, a leader in early childhood education that provides infant and toddler care, preschool, before and aftercare, and summer camp programs, debuts all-new, modern prototypes set to drive franchise growth as the breakout brand expands into new regions across the country. The prototype designs are intended to drive unit-level volume while also contributing to the brand’s expansion, as it aims to have 170 schools opened by the end of 2026.

“Our philosophy is to design a school that fits into the communities it serves,” said Richard Huffman, Founder and CEO of Celebree School. “As we continue our aggressive growth, the timing was right to invest in our prototypes and be thoughtful of the communities we’re serving, region to region. Parents want to feel like they are bringing their children to a home away from home. Our focus is on building a school that carries that feel, but still creates an amazing learning environment.”

Celebree School has formally partnered with JAM ARCH Inc., an industry leader in designing childcare facilities with experience in designing 250-plus childcare schools across the country. Known for its phenomenal designs and construction drawings, JAM ARCH Inc. is synonymous with first-class finished products. As Celebree School’s sole vendor, franchisees benefit immensely, saving time and money during the permitting and construction phases.

The new designs include a more modern exterior and interior finish to further accentuate the brand, while aligning the look and feel with the culture and environment Celebree School creates for families and team members. Specifically, updates have been made to modernize the main lobby, and new materials and finishes are now offered to franchisees for flooring, cabinetry, and natural wood trim throughout the school. There have also been modifications to the floor plans to make it easier for the teaching staff to maintain appropriate supervision of the children and boast a more collaborative learning environment.

“We hope that these new developments will only continue to showcase the thoughtfulness and value Celebree School brings to the communities it serves,” said Justin A. Mihalik, J.A. Mihalik Architect LLC (JAM-ARCH). “We believe these updates will create positive attention and loyalty to the brand, which will continue to enhance interest from consumers and new franchisee prospects.”

Today, 17 Celebree Schools are open and operating with the new prototype designs. Additionally, all new construction moving forward will feature these enhancements. Celebree School welcomes feedback and innovative ideas from its franchisees and education department as the designs and models continue to evolve.

“As with any good brand, we are focused on innovation and constant, never-ending improvement,” added Huffman. “The upgrades to our prototypes can be seen throughout all of our news schools as we expand across the country.”

2023 is proving to be a momentous year for Celebree School, having already welcomed 13 new franchisees comprising of 27 franchise and future development agreements. The franchise brand now boasts 43 schools open, 56 schools awarded, a presence across 14 states, and an enrollment of more than 4,570 children who are being protected, educated, and nurtured within the Celebree family.

Alongside this impressive growth is a strong performance. According to Celebree School’s April 2023 Franchise Disclosure Document, the average Gross Revenues for the three franchised Celebree Schools that were open for the entire 2022 year were $2,074,263*.

As franchise development continues to surge, Celebree School is looking for qualified and engaged individuals seeking single and multi-unit opportunities who are involved in their community, have a passion for childhood education, and are eager to explore the world of franchising.

When franchisees invest with Celebree School, they’re investing in an organization with a strong culture, solid systems, and a proven business model backed with 29-plus years of experience in providing exceptional early childhood education.
