Puppy-focused program helps pups grow into confident adult dogs

WESTMINSTER, Colo. — Camp Bow Wow^®, the nation’s leading doggy day care and boarding franchise, has launched Pawsitive Start Jr., an educational program developed by Camp Bow Wow’s Animal Health and Behavior Expert, Erin Askeland, and is tailored to puppies ages 4 months to 1 year that sets them up for a happier, healthier future through socialization, learning, play and enrichment.

Like toddlers attending preschool, pups who visit Camp Bow Wow for Pawsitive Start Jr. experience a structured routine that includes:

Daily group playtime for socialization with other dogs
A rotating daily activity focusing on essential skills, positive experiences and exposure to new objects
Cabin enrichment time for puppies to engage in food puzzles and calming activities
Designated nap times
Daily report cards to keep pet parents updated on their Camper’s progress

The program also offers pet parent education, with informational handouts to help human companions continue their puppy’s development at home.

“Dogs who continue their socialization throughout puppyhood are more likely to be comfortable around other dogs and humans and in new situations as adults,” said Camp Bow Wow’s Animal Health and Behavior Expert, Erin Askeland, MSc, CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA. “Our new program offers a comprehensive approach designed to help young dogs thrive, lead happier lives with their families and have more fun at Camp when their parents are away.”

Camp Bow Wow has welcomed over 50 million dog visits since opening its first Camp in 2000. Pawsitive Start Jr. is the latest addition to the brand’s range of services that demonstrate its commitment to providing the highest levels of fun, safety and service for Campers and peace of mind for their parents.

“As a leader in the doggy day care and boarding space, we designed Pawsitive Start Jr. as yet another way we can further our mission of Making Dogs Happy while reinforcing our commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of dogs,” said Camp Bow Wow President Julie Turner. “Our new program is perfect for young dogs, as it addresses their needs for play, learning, social interaction and rest. By fostering the development of essential social and cognitive skills, we can play a vital role in a puppy’s journey to create a lasting, positive impact in puppies’ lives and offer support to pet parents.”

The Pawsitive Start Jr. program has been successfully tested at select Camp Bow Wow locations and will be rolling out to additional Camps across North America over the coming months. To sign up, pet parents can check with their local Camp to confirm participation. For more information, visit https://www.campbowwow.com/services/pawsitive-start-jr-/.

Personal training franchise paves the way for a new era of innovation and expansion
Launches the GG DRIVE platform, offering actionable, data-driven insights
Enables franchisees to analyze key marketing, sales, and operational metrics enhancing return on investment

MELVILLE, N.Y. — GYMGUYZ, the world’s largest in-home and on-site personal training franchise, introduced its newest proprietary technology today to franchisees – the GG DRIVE platform.

Engineered to drive success, this state-of-the-art business intelligence platform provides unprecedented insights into franchisee business operations with its detailed and comprehensive data. It also fosters productive, data-driven discussions throughout the GYMGUYZ franchise system, “connecting the dots” between clients, trainers, managers, owners, vendors, and corporate staff.

Following expansion into 155 new cities, GYMGUYZ will showcase this new data platform at their eighth annual Recharge Convention in Cancun, held from September 18th to 20th. This launch is a pivotal element of the brand’s ambitious goal to enhance franchisee support and reach 400 new cities served by 2025.

“The DRIVE platform reveals critical opportunities and trends that will significantly boost our franchisees’ success,” said Gregg Bushyeager, Director of CRM and Analytics at GYMGUYZ. “It simplifies performance assessment and highlights areas for improvement, offering a holistic view of a franchise’s operations. Beyond measuring overall performance, the platform also ensures consistency of data and key metrics throughout our entire franchise network.”

The new platform leverages Snowflake, a fully managed service that powers the AI Data Cloud, to aggregate and streamline data from various business partners. On the franchisee-facing side, Sigma Consulting provides the business intelligence tools that create an intuitive and easy-to-use user interface.
This system enables franchisees to gain comprehensive insights into leads, sales funnels, client interactions, cash collections, fitness package utilization rates, and digital marketing efforts.

“Innovation has been the key to our growth and success,” said Phil Brojan, President of GYMGUYZ. “GG DRIVE embodies this by consolidating our marketing, operational, and financial data into one analytical platform, generating key dashboards used to drive performance. This allows our franchisees to streamline operations, identify opportunities, and provide valuable insights to their team members. For our franchise support team, it enhances our support services and allows us to drive franchise system revenue. We’re excited to integrate GG DRIVE into our proprietary technology stack and leverage its potential as we continue to build on our successes this year.”

Franchisees can now dive deeply into their data to evaluate the effectiveness of various lead sources and enhance their marketing ROI. By analyzing marketing expenditures and monitoring advertising impressions through to sales, they can now more effectively manage their finances and pinpoint where to focus their resources for maximum business growth.

“Launching GG DRIVE marks a significant milestone in GYMGUYZ’s evolution,” said Josh York, Founder & CEO of GYMGUYZ. “Our commitment to innovation and franchisee success is at the heart of this new platform, which allows franchisees to seamlessly analyze sales data, track growth trends, and optimize training session utilization. It allows our franchisees to focus on business growth and solidify GYMGUYZ’s leadership in the fitness industry.”

Celebree Property Investments utilizes the strong network of the Celebree School real estate team to find and develop high-quality locations for new Celebree schools. This approach provides franchise partners the opportunity to invest in real estate opportunities to create a diversified investment portfolio in creating family wealth.

“We’re a company comprised of powerful, beloved brands that truly make a difference,” said Huffman. “We’ve strategically invested in our future, laying the groundwork for a new umbrella company that unifies our brands under a single vision.

America’s Largest Bathroom Remodeler Offers ADA-Compliant Remodeling Services to Palm Springs Residents.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — Re-Bath, the nation’s largest complete bathroom remodeling franchise, has announced a signed agreement in Palm Springs, CA. With its growing population and need for home renovation services, Palm Springs is a prime area for growth. The bath remodeling market is expected to reach $88.4 billion by 2032, and first-time and existing entrepreneurs are looking to stake their claim with Re-Bath’s franchise opportunity.

Behind the Signed Agreement – Current Franchisee, Niko Zavala:

Prior to joining Re-Bath, Zavala worked for his family’s construction company before starting a 20-year career at Lowe’s, where he worked his way up to Director of Services. During his time at Lowe’s, he became familiar with the Re-Bath brand.
Zavala opened his first Re-Bath in Temecula in 2020 and decided to reinvest in the brand because of the supportive corporate team, strong franchise system, and growth potential.
Zavala’s extensive background in home improvement, construction, and project management made his transition to Re-Bath franchisee a natural and successful progression.

“When I opened my first Re-Bath in Temecula, my goal was always to expand into Palm Springs,” said Zavala. “While my previous experience provided a solid foundation, it was the support from the corporate team and network of fellow franchisees that empowered me to achieve success. With their ongoing guidance and resources, I’m excited to continue expanding throughout Southern California.”

With more than 150,000 franchise businesses and an output of $161.9 billion, the western region of the U.S. marks a great opportunity for aspiring franchisees.

“Niko’s proven success in Temecula, combined with his extensive background in home improvement, makes him the perfect fit to bring our top-notch services to the Palm Springs area,” said Brad Hillier, CEO of Re-Bath. “His decision to open a second location is a testament to the value of Re-Bath’s franchise opportunity, and we’re confident that his expertise and dedication will drive continued growth and deliver exceptional results for our customers.”

As the largest bathroom remodeling company in the United States, Re-Bath has established a proven business model, unparalleled franchise office support, and an infrastructure for growth as it continues to seek strategic franchise partners to expand its footprint nationwide.

The impressive growth achieved by the brand has not gone unnoticed as Re-Bath recently earned the No. 192 spot on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2024 Franchise 500®, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Re-Bath also ranked No. 2 on Qualified Remodeler‘s Top 500 Nationals List and was recognized as No. 1 in the “Best Bathroom Renovations” category on Bob Vila’s 2022 Best Home Improvement Contractors of 2022 Ranking. The franchise is building off this momentum for repeated success throughout 2023, with a goal of awarding 25 franchise agreements while strengthening performance and same-store-sales.
