Leading Siding Renovation Company Continues Its U.S. Growth Through Midwest Expansion

CHICAGO — Ideal Siding, North America’s largest siding renovation company, has expanded into Illinois with its first franchise location in the Chicago market. This milestone marks an exciting step in the brand’s U.S. expansion, bringing Ideal Siding’s expert exterior renovation services to Illinois homeowners for the first time.

Leading the new Chicago location is local entrepreneur and franchise consultant, Tim Michaels, who will serve communities across Chicago’s North and Northwest suburbs, from Arlington Heights to Lake Forest. A former Fortune 500 strategy executive and MBA graduate from the University of Michigan with over a decade of experience in franchising, Michaels brings deep industry insight and a strategic mindset to the Ideal Siding system. After years of helping others evaluate and purchase franchises through his company, Kickstart My Franchise, he found himself consistently recommending Ideal Siding to clients and decided it was time to invest in the brand himself.

“I went from presenting Ideal Siding to clients to signing myself,” said Michaels. “It’s one of the most scalable, well-supported home services franchises I’ve seen. Being able to bring this to my hometown and build something long-term for my family is incredibly rewarding.”

Michaels wasted no time getting his business up and running in Chicago. Within days of completing his franchise training, he began meeting with prospective clients, coordinating operations, and launching his first projects. His immediate focus is on building strong relationships with trusted contractors while delivering top-notch results to homeowners.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Tim to the Ideal Siding family and to officially launch in Illinois,” said Alex Filipuk, Founder and CEO of Ideal Siding. “His experience in franchising and strategic approach to business makes him the perfect partner to bring our brand to the Chicago market. Tim understands what makes a franchise thrive, and we’re excited to support his journey as we continue to scale nationwide.”

With Illinois’ booming housing market and increasing demand for high-quality home renovations, the brand sees significant growth opportunities for Ideal Siding in the region. As Michaels settles into his market, he remains committed to setting a high standard of service, building trusted relationships with homeowners, and ultimately expanding his reach in the Chicago community.

Ideal Siding’s proven model eliminates many of the barriers in traditional home improvement businesses, offering franchisees a turnkey system with centralized marketing, lead generation, and operations support all designed to drive performance from day one. At the same time, the brand helps homeowners enhance curb appeal and energy efficiency, transforming neighborhoods with high-quality, modern siding solutions across North America.

Waterloo Turf Breaks New Ground as it Enters Q3 Following Accelerated Franchise Growth

Texas-based Premier Synthetic Turf Franchise Set to Open New Locations in Idaho and Colorado by End of 2025

AUSTIN, Texas — Waterloo Turf, the premier turf and synthetic grass franchise dedicated to helping people get their Saturdays back, has started 2025 on a high note following rigorous franchise growth and entries into several new states.

Having only launched its franchise opportunity in December 2024, the brand has garnered tremendous franchise interest with a current total of 32 territories under development. With an established presence in Austin, Scottsdale, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Nashville, the brand continues to target major metropolitan areas in the Sunbelt to expand its franchise footprint.

Laying The Groundwork for National Growth

This year, Waterloo Turf entered 2 new states for the first time, with new franchisees now serving Scottsdale (AZ) and Nashville (TN). The brand will be stepping into Idaho and Colorado for the first time, with locations set to open in Boise, Boulder, Fort Collins, respectively by the end of the summer.

Additionally, Waterloo Turf will be doubling down on building a presence within its home state of Texas, with new franchise agreements signed in Waco and College Station.

“We’ve experienced tremendous momentum so far this year as more communities are recognizing the need for, and benefits of, sustainable landscaping solutions, such as artificial turf,” said Tim Lovett, Co-Owner and CEO of Waterloo Turf. “I look forward to teaming up with driven franchise partners who want to bring lush, green, and water-conscious lawns to their local communities as we step into the remainder of 2025.”

A Timely Franchise Opportunity in A Water-Conscious World

Valued at USD 76.6 billion in 2022 and projected to reach USD 114.3 billion by 2028, the booming artificial turf industry is set to explode as consumer demand and water conservation legislation both take centerstage.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, depending on the region, homeowners use up to 30% to 70% of their water outdoors. Of this, an estimated 50% of outdoor water use is wasted through evaporation or runoff from overwatering. In contrast, artificial turf uses an average of 1-2 gallons of water per square foot annually, compared to that of a traditional grass lawn which requires 55 gallons of water per square foot annually.

Led by top leaders in both franchising and turf, and backed by investors with over 60 years of combined franchise experience across 13 different brands, Waterloo Turf’s franchise opportunity was built off proven, streamlined operations and ongoing corporate support. Waterloo Turf is seeking franchisees with a “team captain” mindset, offering a 10% discount to owners who are ex-NCAA athletes and ex-military.

The $100,000/Year Drain: How Employee Turnover Is Costing Companies Big in 2025

Paul Zboichyk2025-06-15T21:48:59-04:00June 15th, 2025|Tags: business services, Express Employment Professionals, professional education, staffing solutions|

New Survey Reveals the Soaring Financial Toll of Employee Departures

OKLAHOMA CITY — As the midpoint of 2025 approaches, many companies are not only focused on hiring but also preparing for a potential rise in employee turnover.

According to a recent Express Employment Professionals-Harris Poll survey, nearly 2 in 5 U.S. hiring managers (39%) expect turnover at their company to increase this year — a notable jump from 33% who said the same about 2024.

While just more than half (51%) believe turnover will remain steady, the growing concern is already impacting company budgets. On average, turnover costs businesses $36,723 annually in expenses like rehiring and lost productivity. For 1 in 5 hiring managers (20%), that number climbs to $100,000 or more each year.

The financial burden of turnover is especially pronounced in larger organizations. Among those who report annual turnover costs of $100,000 or more:

34% — Companies with 500 or more employees
17% — 100 to 499 employees
14% — 50 to 99 employees
3% — 10 to 49 employees
2% — Fewer than 10 employees

Among those anticipating increased turnover, the most commonly cited reasons include:

Better pay and benefits offered elsewhere (34%)
Employees voluntarily resigning (32%)
Increased workplace demands (29%)
Employee retirements (26%)
More appealing company cultures elsewhere (24%)
Feelings of being overworked (24%)
A competitive job market (23%)
Career changes (22%)
Better perks or advancement opportunities elsewhere (22%)
Lack of flexible schedules (21%)
Lack of remote work options (19%)

Despite these challenges, hiring remains a top priority. A strong majority (88%) of hiring managers say their companies still plan to hire in 2025, which is in line with last year’s figures. Among those, 45% are hiring to increase their overall headcount, while 34% aim to maintain current staffing levels.

Notably, 43% of those planning to hire say the need to replace employees lost to turnover is a key driver behind their hiring plans.

“Employee turnover isn’t just a staffing issue, it’s a financial one,” said Express CEO Bob Funk, Jr. “Companies that want to stay competitive must be intentional about retention. Which means building a workplace where people see long-term value — not just in compensation, but in leadership, clarity of direction and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully.”

Survey Methodology
The Job Insights survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Express Employment Professionals from Nov. 11 to 26, 2024, among 1,001 U.S. hiring decision-makers.

MY SALON Suite® Turns Salon Suite Takeovers Into Rapid Franchise Growth

Paul Zboichyk2025-06-15T21:34:30-04:00June 15th, 2025|Tags: beauty industry, My Salon Suite, salon suite franchise, Suite Management Franchising|

From Indiana to the Carolinas, multi-unit franchisees transform independent salons into thriving MY SALON Suite locations

CARROLLTON, Texas — MY SALON Suite®, a salon suite franchise focused on providing beauty, health, and wellness professionals a personal space to build their business, continues to expand its national footprint with acquisitions and conversions proving to be powerful catalysts for growth. From veteran franchise leaders to first-time small business owners, franchisees are finding success by converting independent locations into thriving, community-driven businesses.

Wes Snyder, a seasoned multi-brand franchisee, recently expanded his MY SALON Suite portfolio through the acquisition of two independent salon suite businesses in Indianapolis, Indiana. The newly acquired locations in West Carmel and downtown Indianapolis will now operate under the MY SALON Suite name, bringing elevated support, upgraded facilities, and increased visibility to beauty, health and wellness professionals in the area. These locations join Snyder’s existing MY SALON Suite group and complement his ownership of seven FASTSIGNS® centers, both brands under parent company Propelled Brands®.

“Acquisitions are more than just real estate plays—they’re about unlocking potential,” said Snyder. “Bringing these independent suites into the MY SALON Suite family means we can offer elevated resources, recognizable branding, and a stronger support network that empowers professionals to grow their businesses faster and more confidently.”

In Charlotte, North Carolina, multi-unit franchisees Melanie and John Ludden are scaling strategically across the region. The couple currently owns five MY SALON Suite locations in the area, with a sixth under construction. As part of their growth strategy, they recently converted an existing independent salon suite business into a MY SALON Suite at Concord Mills, leveraging the brand’s tools and support to streamline the transition. They’ve also expanded in Columbia, South Carolina, with two locations open and a third underway.

“Our first conversion was a game-changer,” said Melanie Ludden. “By taking over an existing salon and bringing it to life under the MY SALON Suite name, we’ve quickly scaled our portfolio and created more value for our Members and customers alike.”

Snyder and the Luddens’ approach to scaling their business portfolios aligns with MY SALON Suite’s broader expansion strategy, showcasing the viability of converting independent businesses into high-performing franchises. The model not only drives market share, but also opens doors for professionals ready to scale their own success stories.

“Conversions and acquisitions are a fast track to success in this industry, and Wes, Melanie, and John are proof of what’s possible,” said Mark Jameson, chief development officer of Propelled Brands. “Expanding into new markets through strategic takeovers like these demonstrates the scalability of the MY SALON Suite model and its appeal to multi-unit owners looking to diversify their portfolios with a high-growth, semi-absentee opportunity. Independent salon suite owners who are considering selling or converting can reach out to us to learn more about how we can support their next chapter.”

Building on its momentum, MY SALON Suite has continued expanding through multi-unit deals, most recently signing two 3-pack agreements in Florida. As more independent suite owners seek an exit or a growth partner, MY SALON Suite offers a proven framework for conversion, equipping new and existing franchisees with everything from operational playbooks to national marketing support. The brand is actively seeking qualified franchisees with a focus on existing multi-unit owners to join its over 175 Franchisee Groups and more than 360 locations. The attractive semi-absentee model offers small business owners the opportunity to expand and diversify while focusing their attention on other areas.

Caring Senior Service opens new Sugar Land, Texas location

Paul Zboichyk2025-06-15T21:28:21-04:00June 15th, 2025|Tags: assistance to seniors, Caring Senior Service, non-medical senior home care services, senior care|

Owner Preeti Jha decided to join the home care franchise after witnessing the challenges families face when they can’t provide in-person care for their aging loved ones

HOUSTON — Caring Senior Service, a non-medical, personalized home care services company, announced today that it has opened its 20^th Texas location with a new office at 3 Sugar Creek Center Blvd, Suite 100, in Sugar Land.

Owner Preeti Jha said her decision to become a Caring Senior Service franchise owner was based on her desire to give back to the community and because of personal events that shaped her outlook on aging care.

“I had lifelong entrepreneurial aspirations and a deeply personal desire to give back to the community,” she said. “When both my mother and mother-in-law became ill, I witnessed the challenges that families face when they can’t personally provide care for their aging loved ones. Our mothers lived in India and couldn’t come here to live with us. Not being able to provide that physical support made a lasting impression on me. I want to be there to help other sons and daughters ensure their parents receive compassionate and dignified care. Caring Senior Service allows me to do both.”

Jha said joining the Caring Senior Service team allows her to combine these passions while also addressing the need for more senior care in the Sugar Land area.

“By delivering quality care, we not only improve the lives of seniors but also offer invaluable support to their families,” she said. “In essence, it’s about honoring the memory of my own mother by being present for others.”

Jha started her career as a software engineer but grew into leadership roles as a program manager, a project manager and a product line manager. She received a bachelor’s degree in information technology from Berhampur University in India and, just this spring, received her master of business administration (MBA) from Rice Business in Houston.

Caring Senior Service of Sugar Land offers respite care, transportation, meal preparation, companionship, medication reminders and other personal care services to seniors and others who need assistance in the Sugar Land area. Clients also receive a 43-point home safety assessment and a tablet with the home care company’s Family Portal application pre-loaded so the client, caregiver and client family can improve communication.

For more information about Caring Senior Service of Sugar Land, call (346) 586-0419 or visit https://caringseniorservice.com/sugar-land/.

About Caring Senior Service

Caring Senior Service is a non-medical home care services company based in San Antonio, Texas. Founded by CEO Jeff Salter in 1991, the company provides assistance to seniors, the disabled population and any adult who may need help with the tasks of everyday living such as bathing, personal care, running errands and preparing food. After adding locations throughout Texas in the 1990s, the company extended its reach through franchising in 2002. It now boasts more than 50 locations throughout the United States. Caring Senior Service has also been named as one of the Franchise Business Review’s top franchises in 2022, 2023 and 2024, and has created programs to assist potential franchisees in choosing a location and training their staff.

In 2021, Caring Senior Service created a non-profit organization called Close the Gap in Senior Care to raise awareness of the overlooked and underserved aspects of senior care. Salter launched Close the Gap with an electric bike ride to each Caring Senior Service franchise location throughout the country, totaling more than 9,000 miles.

PrideStaff Named to Staffing Industry Analysts’ List of Largest U.S. Staffing Firms for 13th Consecutive Year

Paul Zboichyk2025-06-13T23:58:16-04:00June 13th, 2025|Tags: Commercial Staffing, Pridestaff, Staffing Organization|

FRESNO, Calif. — PrideStaff, a nationally franchised staffing organization, is pleased to announce it has been named to Staffing Industry Analysts’ (SIA) 2025 List of Largest Staffing Firms in the United States. Ranked #113, PrideStaff has earned a spot on this influential list for the 13th consecutive year.

The 2025 report includes 225 staffing companies, each of which generated at least $100 million in U.S. staffing revenue in 2024, a threshold fewer firms met than in previous years. According to SIA, these firms collectively represent 76.5% of the U.S. market by revenue, reflecting the ongoing consolidation and intense competition in the staffing industry.

Despite economic fluctuations and a cooling labor market in many sectors, PrideStaff sustained its national growth trajectory, strengthened its franchise network, and deepened its focus on delivering exceptional service to clients and talent alike. PrideStaff’s 2024 performance builds on its momentum as a leading United States staffing provider. With over 80 offices across North America, the organization continues to expand its footprint while innovating in technology, candidate experience, and workforce strategy.

“It’s incredibly rewarding to see our team’s hard work recognized on SIA’s list for the 13th straight year,” said Tammi Heaton, PrideStaff Co-CEO. “This achievement reflects the adaptability of our model, the tenacity of our Owners/Strategic-Partners, and the full commitment of every team member across the nation to Our Mission: ‘Consistently provide client experiences focused on what they value most.’ This is especially important when workforce challenges are at their most complex.”

About PrideStaff

Leading Pest Control Company Encourages Action Ahead of National Mosquito Control Awareness Week

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — As the nation prepares for National Mosquito Control Awareness Week (June 15–21), Mosquito Joe^®, a Neighborly^® company, is urging homeowners to be proactive now to protect their families and outdoor spaces from mosquitoes. Recognized with Gold Tier status by the Environment Protection Agency’s (EPA) Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP), Mosquito Joe reinforces the importance of being environmentally responsible with mosquito management.

While mosquitoes may not yet be in full swing in many regions, due to colder spring weather and a later start to the season, experts caution that outbreaks can surge rapidly as weather patterns shift. Taking preventive measures now is key to avoiding infestations and reducing the risk of mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus and Dengue fever, which continue to pose serious health concerns across the United States.

“As the weather warms up and we head into summer, mosquito activity will increase,” said David Price, Associate Certified Entomologist for Mosquito Joe, a Neighborly company. “It’s essential for homeowners to stay ahead of the season. We’re committed to offering environmentally conscious solutions and empowering communities with the knowledge they need to protect themselves against mosquitoes and vector borne diseases.”

To help families enjoy their outdoor spaces this summer, Mosquito Joe recommends the following prevention strategies:

Maintain Landscaping: Keep grass trimmed and shrubs pruned to minimize excess shade and moisture, which attracts mosquitoes. Clear away leaves and yard debris that can trap moisture and provide ideal mosquito hiding spots.
Keep Water Features Clean: Ensure swimming pools, fountains, and other water features are clean, circulating, and appropriately chlorinated. If not in use, cover them securely to prevent stagnant water accumulation, ideal for mosquito breeding.
Protect the Home with Screens: Functional window and door screens are an effective physical barrier that helps keep mosquitoes out of indoor spaces, reducing the risk of bites and mosquito-borne illness.
Protect Yourself: Apply mosquito repellents registered with the EPA that contain DEET, picaridin, or lemon eucalyptus oil. When possible, wear light-colored, long-sleeved shirts and pants to limit skin exposure.
Seek Professional Services: Protect your outdoor spaces by using professional mosquito control services, like those offered by Mosquito Joe. Mosquito Joe offers targeted, environmentally responsible treatments tailored to local mosquito populations and habitat conditions.

Mosquito Joe locations are locally owned and operate in communities across the U.S. and they remain a trusted partner in proactive mosquito prevention through ongoing customer education and targeted treatments designed to minimize impact on pollinators and other beneficial insects.
