The Paramedics of Property Damage Announce Plans to Service Texas’s Beaumont and Louisiana’s Lake Charles Areas.

BEAUMONT, Texas — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation brands, is targeting the coastal city of Beaumont, Texas, and the Lake Charles, Louisiana, community as it continues its rapid expansion across the country. The franchise brand is looking to capitalize on its ongoing success by securing multi-unit franchise owners who will fulfill their mission of unparalleled customer service and quality of work within the Beaumont and Lake Charles communities. Through market research, PuroClean estimates the cities can support up to two new territories.

“The Beaumont/Lake Charles area has been a community at the top of our list for expansion for a while now,” said Tim Courtney, Vice President of Franchise Development for PuroClean. “We are seeking strategic franchise partners in this region as it continues to see a growing population with increased economic activity. We feel this locale is under-served with professional restoration services for damage caused by water, fire, mold, and biohazards to homes and businesses. With an ever-changing climate, we also value this area as a strategic location to assist in a territory that experiences a high frequency of severe weather, such as hurricanes.”

The PuroClean brand is highly regarded not only within the property restoration industry but within the franchising industry as well. In 2022, the company received recognition for the brand in national business awards programs, including PuroClean ranking No. 84 on the Entrepreneur Magazine annual Franchise 500® list, rising 13 places from the previous year’s ranking. PuroClean was also recognized by Franchise Times on its “Top 500” list and by Franchise Business Review as a Top Franchise for Franchisee Satisfaction for the fifth consecutive year. The brand is honored to satisfy and exceed the expectations and needs of its franchisees year after year, as they are committed to uplifting their franchise partners and facilitating their success.

“We are thrilled to continue expanding our brand’s unique concept into new markets throughout the country, as we have gained a loyal following,” said Steve White, President and COO of PuroClean. “Our brand has cemented itself as a necessary service for all types of professionals and households in both suburban and urban communities. No matter who you are or where you live, PuroClean brings peace of mind that your home or business is in the best hands during the property restoration process.”

For over 20 years, PuroClean has helped home and business owners with their restoration and remediation needs, serving communities across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico with a network of over 450 offices.

Tootl Transport Completes 11,000+ Rides in First 3 Quarters of 2023; Gets Thousands of People with Cognitive & Mobility Challenges Safely to Their Destinations

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-09-18T10:13:01-04:00September 18th, 2023|Tags: special needs non-emergency transportation franchise, Tootl Transport, transportation for people of all abilities, wheelchair accessible vehicles|

Accessible Transportation Franchise Sets Goal to Reach 1 Million Rides by Offering Franchises Across U.S.

NORTHBROOK, Ill. — On a mission to improve lives through safe and reliable transportation for people of all abilities, Tootl Transport has completed more than 11,000 trips through its two locations in Chicago and Milwaukee since the beginning of the year, and set a goal to provide 1 million rides by 2027 as it embarks on a growth journey of national franchise expansion.

Tootl Transport, a non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) service franchise that provides safe, accessible rides for anyone with mobility and cognitive challenges, offers specialized transportation services to anyone (youths, adults and seniors), with temporary or permanent mobility or cognitive challenges, as well as any individuals who need a dependable commute option, transporting them safely anywhere they need to go. This includes transportation to and from doctor appointments, rehabilitation sessions, school, grocery shopping, family gatherings, rides home from the hospital and more.

“It has been amazing to see the positive impact that Tootl has been able to make so far this year,” said Michelle Dacy, Tootl Founder and President. “Our compassionate and professional trained drivers go above and beyond to ensure that every rider gets to their destination safely and comfortably. Giving families peace of mind that their loved ones have a safe, reliable way to get where they need to go is a wonderful feeling.”

Frustrated with poor customer service and a lack of compassion among special needs transportation providers, Dacy established Tootl Transport in 2012 – vowing to always prioritize kindness and customer service over sales volume. In 2021, a second Tootl Transport opened in Milwaukee to serve Southeast Wisconsin. In 2023, Tootl announced plans to franchise nationwide, with a goal to bring the same level of thoughtful service to other parts of the country.

While Tootl’s drivers and specially equipped vehicles are designed to transport people who require wheelchairs or walkers and/or have cognitive challenges, many adult children of seniors frequently contact Tootl to obtain safe, reliable rides for their parents from weddings or other family gatherings. “Most people don’t feel comfortable sending mom, dad, grandma or grandpa home in a cab or ride-share. With Tootl, they feel more secure knowing their loved ones will be driven home safely, even walked right up to their front doors.”

Because of its low overhead, ease of operation and high market demand, the innovative concept caught the attention of well-known experienced franchising industry veterans Steve Greenbaum and Brad Fishman, who are backing the franchising effort as investors and advisors. Greenbaum and Fishman helped the Dacy’s rebrand from Special Needs Chicago to Tootl and launch a second location in Milwaukee in 2021. The Milwaukee location exceeded all business expectations, even during the peak of COVID and the most challenging external economic conditions.

The booming Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) sector was estimated at $8.6 billion in 2021, and is projected to nearly double to reach over $15 billion by 2028. This market growth is primarily driven by the country’s increasing aging population and an expanding need for routine medical treatments and care.

About Tootl Transport

With its caring drivers and wheelchair accessible vehicles, Tootl transports people with cognitive or mobility challenges to a wide range of destinations, including doctor appointments, rehabilitation sessions, residential facility transports, family gatherings, hospital discharges, student transportation and more. Customers can request same-day rides, make advance reservations or arrange for recurring Tootl service. As the nation’s first special needs non-emergency transportation franchise, Tootl is committed to providing individuals of all abilities and capacities with the reliable and comfortable rides they need. Through a franchise offering, the company is providing entrepreneurs the opportunity to provide a necessary and meaningful service to underserved members of their community.

After learning about the franchising opportunity that Pvolve had to offer, she knew she had to be part of the fast-growing business.

“We are so grateful to bring this incredible method to Carlsbad,” said Kristin. “We love how Pvolve not only strengthens your body but improves how you move and feel every day. We want to cultivate an environment that provides a supportive community, inspires inner strength and helps members achieve their fitness and wellness goals.”

Pvolve Carlsbad offers membership options that fit your fitness needs. The three tiers of memberships include Unlimited, Starter and Flex. Those who sign up for a founding membership prior to the grand opening event on Sept. 23, lock in a lifetime discounted rate. Founding members receive other additional benefits such as access to on-demand and live virtual classes, 2-week booking period and so much more. Additional membership information can be found at https://app.pvolve.com/locations/carlsbad-south-carlsbad.

“We are thrilled to bring Pvolve’s unique, holistic training method to the dynamic Carlsbad community,” said Pvolve President Julie Cartwright. “There is nothing quite like our studios – everything from the front desk team to the beautiful beauty bars, to the class itself delivered by our expert trainers is thoughtfully designed to give members a best-in-class boutique fitness experience.”

About Pvolve
Pvolve LLC, or Personal Evolution, is an innovative fitness company that pairs functional movement with resistance-based equipment to sculpt, tone, strengthen and restore the body while also enhancing mobility and stability. After being introduced to functional fitness in 2017, founder Rachel Katzman was determined to help others experience an approach that respects the body’s holistic needs while making you look and feel great. Pvolve’s Method is supported by a Clinical Advisory Board of highly credentialed doctors, trainers and experts to offer safe and effective workouts that help you break a sweat, not your body. As recently as June 2023, world-renowned actress, producer and director, Jennifer Aniston, officially partnered with Pvolve after falling in love with the Method as a member in 2021. Through its hybrid fitness model, Pvolve can be experienced via a streaming membership which offers live and on-demand classes on Pvolve.com and on the Pvolve App, and via physical studio locations available in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Carlsbad, with more franchises opening soon.

Temporary Wall Systems Opening New Locations in Kansas and Missouri

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-09-15T10:00:00-04:00September 15th, 2023|Tags: HomeFront Brands, rentable containment wall provider, Temporary Wall Systems, TWS|

Local owners in Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas team up to provide the temporary, rentable containment walls on both sides of the city’s state line divide.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first and leading full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, is opening two new locations on both sides of the Missouri–Kansas state line and will showcase their rentable wall solutions at Innovation Expo 2023 on Tuesday, Sept. 19.

Innovation Expo is held from 8 to 11 a.m. at The Builders Training Center on 105 W. 12^th Avenue, North Kansas City, Missouri. The expo allows exhibitors to demonstrate the latest in construction technology to industry professionals.

For Cody and Andrea Herbster, owning the TWS in Kansas City, Kansas, is a goal the husband-and-wife duo has wanted to achieve for several years. The couple expects these easy-to-build and easy-to-remove walls will save contractors in their area hours, if not days, on building containment walls during renovations and construction.

“I’ve talked to several contractors in this area, and they are adamant about the need for these walls,” Cody Herbster said. “We want to build long-lasting relationships with members of the contracting community. Having a product that saves time and headaches will go a long way toward building those relationships.”

The Herbsters’ counterpart in Kansas City, Missouri, Mike Macy, agrees that the product helps contractors. He further points out that the walls are a cleaner and more environmentally friendly alternative to using permanent construction material for temporary containment walls.

“Owning and operating my own business has been a dream of mine for several years,” Macy said. “Introducing an ecologically sound product that also saves contractors time and money is a win-win for both the construction industry and the environment. It’s an honor to be able to provide this product to the Kansas City construction community.”

Both sets of owners said that the Kansas City Metro area is growing, and they see that many new businesses are being adaptive in renovating older buildings. The owners will work together to ensure the divided city’s contractors have the ability to use the eco-friendly and reusable walls to protect people and property from the dangers of construction and renovation projects.

Herbster is a Kansas native and has lived in Kansas City most of his life. He spent the last decade of his career in real estate development and understands the needs of general contractors as a result.

Macy grew up in South Dakota, but has now lived in Kansas City, Missouri, for more than half his life. He enjoys the small town feel of Kansas City even though the city has more than 2.3 million residents.

TWS is part of HomeFront Brands, a family of emerging, franchised residential and commercial property service brands that offers integrated technology, data support, lead generation, business intelligence systems and training to its partners.

“We’re delighted to join forces with Dermalogica to introduce their Clear Start by Dermalogica collection at Hand & Stone.

Catering specifically to those who struggle with breakouts, blackheads, and a little extra shine, it has a range of products designed to treat, repair, and even prevent future breakouts. They’ve garnered a dedicated following among Gen Z consumers that are seeking products that deliver real results, without compromising their skin barrier, with a number of the products going viral on TikTok.

“We’re on a mission to make acne skincare fun, but without compromising on results, or your skin barrier. Our products really deliver, and to bring them into a new exclusive treatment with Hand & Stone really takes our offering to the next level,” said Hannah Amor, Business Leader for Clear Start. We know our Gen Z consumer is looking for new ways to get clearer, healthier skin, but in an increasingly shorter timeframe. The new treatment with Hand & Stone allows them to see results fast, helping to clear, fade and even prevent future breakouts. Hand & Stone is the perfect partner for us, bringing their expertise of the newest treatment trends and pairing that with Clear Start and Dermalogica’s professional-grade range of products.”

The Prevent & Glow treatment and Clear Start Body Treatment will each be offered as both 30-minute or 50-minute treatments and will leverage human touch paired with technology. Each treatment has a range of customizable options including Dermalogica’s Pro Pen NanoInfusion, LED light therapy, Gua Sha and more. Treatments can be booked as one-offs or as part of a longer, clear skin maintenance series.
