Ezra points to three pillars for Grand Welcome’s growth and appeal to franchisees:

• Community-based – By having each franchisee serve as a member of their community, Grand Welcome is giving back to the areas in which they manage properties. This aids in the long-term success of the franchisee and helps the respective communities prosper.
• Advanced Technology – Grand Welcome has developed a proprietary reservation and accounting system that helps franchisees operate efficiently from the first day of business. It also helps franchisees scale more efficiently for effective expansion.
• Support – Franchisees have access to a back office administrative support team of highly qualified and trained professionals skilled in reservations, customer service, marketing, and accounting. It allows the franchisees to better focus on the properties in their territories.

“Our vision is to grow Grand Welcome through a shared passion and innovation that recognizes opportunities and seizes them. That approach led us to recently introduce a Tier 1 program to best address an underserved part of the short-term vacation rental business efficiently. Additionally, our expansion plans include international properties, as we expect to continue to set the pace in our market segment,” said Ezra.
