Local Entrepreneur to Open Two Retreats in Fast-Growing Wake County
Holistic Wellness Franchise Enters the Tar Heel State for the First Time
Newly Rebranded Heights Wellness Retreat Responds to Rising Demand for Holistic Wellness Services

WAKE COUNTY, N.C. — Building on its national growth, Heights Wellness Retreat has secured a multi-unit agreement in Raleigh, North Carolina, located in the state’s most populous county. These will be the first two Retreats in North Carolina since the October 2024 rebrand from Massage Heights, marking a milestone moment as Heights brings its expanded services to one of the fastest-growing regions in the country.

Behind the Signed Agreement – Blake and Desi Godwin

Blake Godwin, a seasoned business executive with more than 15 years of leadership experience, will spearhead Heights’ expansion in the Raleigh market alongside his wife, Desi Godwin, who will play an integral role in operations.
With the U.S. wellness industry valued at $2 trillion in 2025, the Godwins see Heights as an opportunity to combine their passion for relationship-building with operational excellence in a booming sector.
The first Retreat will open at 3125 McChesney Hill Loop, Suites 3121 and 3125, in Holly Springs, NC 27540, with plans to secure a second location shortly after.

“My career has been dedicated to delivering exceptional customer experiences, and Heights Wellness Retreat is the perfect opportunity to bring that same focus to our community through innovative touchless wellness therapies,” said Blake. “We’re excited to open our Retreats in Holly Springs and provide this transformative experience for every member who walks through our doors.”

Heights Wellness Retreat is expanding its offerings with innovative touchless therapies that enhance the path to holistic wellness, including a lymphatic drainage suit, cryotherapy, meditation, red light therapy, and infrared sauna. These services provide members with convenient, personalized options to nurture the body, mind, and spirit, while massage therapy remains the core service and foundation of the Heights experience.

Why North Carolina?

Strong Economy: Heights is debuting in North Carolina at a time when it is the second-best state in the U.S. for franchise growth, as well as a top state for business according to CNBC.
Population Boom: Since 2020, North Carolina has added 605,000 people to its population, making it one of the fastest-growing states. Wake County is among the fastest-growing counties in nation.
Young Generation Growth: North Carolina ranks #6 in the U.S. for the growth in its young population. With Gen Z and millennials driving demand for wellness services, this expansion brings tailored wellness offerings to a rapidly growing demographic.

“North Carolina has been a prime target for us, and I’m excited for Blake and Desi to lead our expansion there,” said Shane Evans, Founder and CEO of Heights Wellness Retreat. “Their expertise, passion for the customer experience, and commitment to community reflect our mission of holistic wellness, making them ideal ambassadors for our brand in this vibrant market.”

With the global wellness industry projected to reach $9 trillion by 2028, the brand is primed for continued success. The Heights leadership team has identified key target growth markets and has prime territories available nationwide so that more communities across the U.S. have access to holistic wellness services.

Heights Wellness Retreat is currently seeking single and multi-unit operators to join its growing brand. To learn about the brand’s franchise opportunities, visit heightswellnessretreatfranchise.com.

Leading Dog Training Franchise Expands Human Level Fitness Tracking to Select Locations

LOS ANGELES — Zoom Room Dog Training, the nation’s highest-rated dog training franchise, recently announced a new partnership with Fi, the leader in smart pet technology, to bring real-time activity tracking into its training programs. The collaboration marks the first time a national dog training franchise has integrated wearable technology into its curriculum, reinforcing Zoom Room’s commitment to helping dogs live active, confident, and well-balanced lives.

“At Zoom Room, we train the people—and what they do outside the gym matters as much as what happens inside,” said Mark Van Wye, CEO of Zoom Room. “Fi gives owners a clear window into their dog’s daily patterns so training carries into real life. When you can see the trends, you can reinforce the right habits everywhere, not jut in class.”

Zoom Room and Fi share a mission rooted in empowering modern dog owners through education, connection, and positivity. Zoom Room’s training philosophy, “we don’t train dogs, we train the people who love them,” was created to support real-world results that last long after class ends. Fi’s technology extends that same mindset into everyday life, giving owners trusted, real-time insight into their dogs’ behavior and health. From activity and sleep monitoring to AI-powered detection of scratching, licking, barking, eating, and drinking, Fi unlocks a new era of intelligent, proactive dog care.

“Our mission at Fi has always been to give dog owners a deeper, more meaningful understanding of their dogs’ health and behavior,” said Jonathan Bensamoun, founder and CEO of Fi. “Partnering with Zoom Room allows us to bring Fi’s insights into a training environment that’s rooted in real outcomes. Together, we’re raising the bar for how technology can support dogs, their humans, and the broader pet care community.”

Beginning this November, new clients at participating Zoom Room locations will receive a free Fi Mini GPS Tracker (a $99 value) plus six months of complimentary Fi service after a small activation fee with qualifying purchase. Starting in 2026, select locations will also feature in-gym activity leaderboards and nationwide challenges highlighting dogs who log the most movement or visit the gym most consistently.

The integration supports Zoom Room’s broader strategy to expand offerings that deepen client engagement and modernize the training experience, while enabling the brand to meet rising demand for data-supported wellness solutions in a way no other dog training franchise currently can. The combination of real-world training and trackable progress underscores Zoom Room’s commitment to delivering services aligned with the future of the pet care market.

Milestone Marks a Decade of Lasting Impact on Communities, Franchise Owners, and the Restoration Industry

TAMARAC, Fla. — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, is celebrating a landmark milestone: the 10-year leadership anniversary of Chairman & CEO Mark W. Davis and Vice Chairman Frank Torre. Since acquiring the brand in September 2015, the duo has overseen its expansion from 222 locations to more than 500 across the U.S. and Canada—a milestone reached earlier this year. Their decade of leadership reflects a commitment to strategic, sustainable growth, operational excellence, and strong Franchise Owner support.

“We are incredibly proud of what our network has achieved. Today, PuroClean stands strong with more than 500 locations across North America and an exceptional community of Franchise Owners who embody the very essence of our mission,” said Davis. “As we reflect on this 10-year milestone in our collective PuroClean journey, our focus remains clear: to support our Franchise Owners daily, to strengthen the PuroClean brand throughout the US and Canada, and to continue building a brand defined by people, passion, and purpose.”

When Davis and Torre took ownership a decade ago, their goal was clear: to build PuroClean into a World-Class Brand that could serve more communities with compassion, technical expertise, and unparalleled service. As a privately owned company, they focused on long-term growth and investing in people, systems, and infrastructure, differentiating PuroClean from many industry players focused on private equity-driven rapid expansion. Today, that vision has become reality, reflected in a 5x increase in average franchise unit sales, expanded training and in-field support initiatives, stronger insurance partnerships, and operational excellence achieved across the network.

In addition, PuroClean further advanced its operations strength with a redesigned vendor partnership model built around value, innovation, cultural alignment, and scalability, connecting the network with high-performing partners who can consistently support growth and service excellence across all markets.

A Decade Defined by Growth, Impact, and Industry Recognition

Under Davis and Torre’s leadership, PuroClean has achieved a sustained trajectory of award-winning performance and innovation. The brand has earned recognition from leading franchise and business authorities, including:

Entrepreneur’s Top 500, Fastest-Growing Franchises, and Top Global Franchises
Franchise Business Review awards for Top Franchises for Women, Veterans, Culture, and Most Profitable Franchises
Franchise Times Zor Award, named one of the Top 10 Best Franchises to Buy

Major Milestones (2015–2025)

2015 – Davis & Torre acquire PuroClean and launch a brand refresh with key insurance partnerships in place.
2016 – Introduce the Signal Referral Incentive Plan for large-scale commercial jobs, and the Certified Priority Response (CPR) Program for premium insurance referrals, expanding opportunities and strengthening customer service nationwide.
2017 – Establish company culture of Servant Leadership, Extreme Ownership, and Active Collaboration, and launch the PuroClean Online Academy—a robust training platform allowing franchises access to continuous education materials.
2018 – Redesign the PuroClean website, earning a gold American Business Award for “Enhanced User Experience” and a bronze International Business Award for “Achievement in User Interface Design.” Upgrade the Training Facility and Flood House into a state-of-the-art educational space, expanding courses and IICRC certifications.
2019 – Launch the PuroVet Program to create entrepreneurial opportunities for veterans and support the veterans already in the network.
2020 – Adapt to the pandemic with hybrid training and virtual support, and introduce The PuroClean Way, the brand’s guiding restoration philosophy.
2021 – Launch the Equipment Rental Program, giving PuroClean Franchise Owners access to critical equipment for large-scale, weather-related restoration projects across the country.
2022 – Expand into Puerto Rico and establish a Sales & Franchise Growth department, designed to strengthen local route sales efforts for business development support nationwide.
2023 – Surpass $400M in systemwide sales and grow PuroClean Canada to 50 locations.
2024 – Achieve SOC2 Type II certification for enhanced data security and launch Partnership for a Resilient America with the U.S. Department of Labor and Resilience Force.
2025 – Reach 500 locations across North America, with the scale and support to help more property owners in need and celebrate 10 years of leadership under Davis and Torre.

“Ten years ago, we set out to invest in people, programs, and culture, and today, the results truly speak for themselves,” said Torre. “This milestone is a testament to the unwavering commitment of every PuroClean team member and PuroClean Franchise Owners who embraced our vision. It also reflects the strength of purpose-driven initiatives like PuroVet, which continues to open doors for veterans to build successful futures through business ownership. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built, and more than ever, by the opportunities ahead to elevate PuroClean and expand our impact together.”

Looking Ahead: 2026 and Beyond

As PuroClean accelerates into its next phase of growth, Davis and Torre remain focused on advancing the company’s vision as a World-Class Brand rooted in service, expertise, and humanity. Key priorities include:

Strategic franchise growth in high-need markets across North America
Continued investment in advanced training, reconstruction, and commercial restoration programs
Strengthening national insurance partnerships
Expanding veteran entrepreneurship through the PuroVet Program
Continuously enhancing operational support and technology to better serve PuroClean Franchise Owners

UNITS Moving and Portable Storage Pioneers Influencer Marketing in the Moving and Storage Industry

Paul Zboichyk2025-12-20T22:48:12-05:00December 20th, 2025|Tags: Moving and Portable Storage, Storage Container Franchise, Units Moving and Portable Storage|

CHARLESTON, S.C. — UNITS Moving and Portable Storage is redefining how the moving and storage industry approaches advertising by embracing influencer marketing, which has traditionally been a strategy rarely utilized in this historically service-driven space. While influencer partnerships are most commonly associated with physical consumer products, the corporate marketing team at UNITS Moving and Portable Storage has proven that authentic storytelling and creator-driven content can be just as powerful for service-based industries.

Over the past two years, UNITS Moving and Portable Storage has strategically partnered with a diverse range of content creators, from musicians and athletes to DIY home renovators, designers, and lifestyle influencers, to generate organic, real-world content that highlights the flexibility, convenience, and reliability of portable storage solutions. By thinking beyond conventional advertising models, UNITS has significantly expanded its brand visibility and reach across social platforms, achieving exponential growth in audience engagement and awareness.

“Moving and storage isn’t typically viewed as aspirational or content-worthy, and that’s exactly why influencer marketing works so well for us,” said Lydia Weinman, Assistant Director of Marketing at UNITS Moving and Portable Storage. “When you place our brand into real moments, real moves, real renovations, real life transitions, it humanizes the experience. Influencer marketing allows us to show our service in action through trusted voices, rather than just telling people what we do.”

UNITS’ influencer strategy focuses on collaboration rather than promotion, allowing creators to authentically integrate storage containers into their own experiences. This approach has resulted in high-performing organic content that resonates with audiences far beyond traditional paid advertising reach, while also providing franchise locations with re-usable video and static assets that support both local and national marketing efforts.

By leaning into influencer marketing, UNITS Moving and Portable Storage is not only challenging industry norms but setting a new standard for how moving and storage brands connect with modern consumers. The company’s innovative approach reflects a broader commitment to evolving alongside customer expectations and leveraging emerging marketing channels to stay ahead of the curve, and connect with different segments of consumer markets.

“Influencer marketing isn’t just a trend for us,” Weinman added. “It’s a long-term strategy. If we want to continue growing and connecting with the next generation of customers, we have to be willing to rethink how this industry markets itself. The entire network of the UNITS Brand is very proud to be leading that shift.”

As UNITS Moving and Portable Storage continues to expand its influencer partnerships and creative initiatives, the brand remains focused on transforming how moving and storage services are perceived, experienced, and shared in the digital age.

**About UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage**

UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage provides flexible, secure, and convenient portable storage and moving solutions for residential and commercial customers nationwide. With locally owned and operated franchises across the country, UNITS combines personalized service with innovative logistics to deliver a seamless storage experience.

Restoration Franchise Offers Veterans Leadership Path, Gaining National Recognition

TAMARAC, Fla. — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, recognizes Congressman John James (MI-10) for his ongoing support of veteran entrepreneurship. A West Point graduate and former Army aviation officer, James has long advocated for pathways that enable veterans to continue serving their communities through business ownership. He points to programs like PuroVet as examples of how veterans can leverage their leadership skills to build successful enterprises.

“Veterans possess the discipline, leadership, and resolve to build strong communities when given room to grow,” said James. “Programs like PuroVet create space for those strengths to continue long after the uniform comes off – not by promising success, but by empowering veterans to pursue it.”

Launched in 2017, the PuroVet Program offers veterans a proven route to franchise ownership. PuroClean operates more than 500 locations across North America, many of which are run by veterans. PuroVet participants receive a 25 percent discount on the franchise fee, industry‑leading training at the PuroClean Academy and Flood House, ongoing mentorship from experienced Franchise Owners, and a recession‑resistant business model within a $210 billion restoration industry. They also join a community of fellow veterans who continue to lead with purpose.

PuroClean’s PuroVet Program demonstrates the power of veteran entrepreneurship. Veteran Franchise Owners at PuroClean consistently deliver high performance and retention, helping families recover from disasters, creating jobs, and building businesses that provide long‑term stability. Their ability to lead teams, remain steady during crises, and deliver exceptional customer service translates naturally into the restoration field, with the program serving as a bridge between their military experience and civilian entrepreneurship.

“Veterans don’t stop leading when their military service ends—they look for their next mission,” said Frank Torre, Vice Chairman of PuroClean. “PuroClean’s PuroVet Program was built to honor that mindset by giving veterans a real pathway to business ownership, economic independence, and continued service to their communities. We’re grateful to Congressman James for recognizing the importance of veteran entrepreneurship and for highlighting programs like PuroVet that empower veterans to turn leadership into lasting impact.”
