As Value of Pet Industry Rises, Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N’ Wash Announce Double-Digit Mid-Year Growth

2024-06-28T20:30:20-04:00June 28th, 2024|Tags: , , |

Pet Retail Franchise Brands Continue to Lead the Pack with Consistent Growth and Proven Business Model

LIVONIA, Mich. — As the economic output of franchising is expected to reach $893.9 billion this year, two pet retail franchise brands maintain their position as leaders with consistent, yet rapid growth. Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N’ Wash report double-digit mid-year growth with 23 sold franchise agreements and 16 store openings. While each franchise has a unique offering, both legacy brand Pet Supplies Plus and emerging concept Wag N’ Wash have the billion-dollar backing of 30+ years of franchise and industry experience.

As the largest pet retail franchise in North America, Pet Supplies Plus continues to be the number one player within its sector by providing best in class support, technology, and buying power, with the lowest fees in the industry. Wag N’ Wash, the emerging self-wash, grooming and natural pet food franchise, has grown its store count by 100% since being acquired in early 2022 and opened its first location in South Carolina in May. Collectively, the brands are projected to sell a total of 70 franchise units and open at least 45 stores by year-end.

More than 65% of U.S. households have a pet, and with consumer spending in the pet industry increasing year over year, there is vast potential within both the Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N’ Wash franchise opportunities.

“Heading into 2024, we were focused on growing Pet Supplies Plus’s footprint and bringing Wag N’ Wash to new markets, and we’ve achieved some of these goals and are making strong progress on others,” said Nick Russo, Chief Development and Stores Officer of PSP Group. “We are continuing to receive high interest in both franchise opportunities, especially from existing franchisees who are looking to diversify their portfolios with a concept that is primed for success in a thriving industry. With the stability of both brands and strength of each system, the future couldn’t look any brighter.”

The success of Pet Supplies Plus has not gone unnoticed. The brand was recently named the top pet franchise in Entrepreneur‘s Franchise 500®, the world’s first and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Landing No. 21 on the overall list, this is the tenth consecutive year Pet Supplies Plus earned the top spot in its category. The franchise brand also earned a ranking on Forbes’ inaugural list of ‘Best Customer Service’ – which is a core pillar for the brand. Both of these prestigious awards further position Pet Supplies Plus as an industry leader, for both franchising and pet retail.

In addition to prioritizing innovation to meet the changing needs and wants of its consumers with private brand offerings and new launches, Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N’ Wash are rooted in a booming industry and supported with advanced marketing strategies, supply chain efficiencies and omni-channel shopping options. Additionally, FRANdata, a leading research and advisory firm that analyzes the franchise market, reports that Pet Supplies Plus’s 2023 FUND Score is 905 out of 950 – this means Pet Supplies Plus franchisees have access to the best credit terms including fixed rate financing, low equity payments and easier processes.

Both Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N’ Wash are actively seeking single and multi-unit owners to join their growing families.

PuroClean of Morristown Named Franchise of the Year

2024-06-25T15:55:27-04:00June 25th, 2024|Tags: , , , , , |

Local New Jersey Business Named Top-Performing North American Franchise at 2024 Annual PuroClean Owner’s Convention

MORRISTOWN, N.J. — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, has announced its 2023 Franchise of the Year. Nelson and Sujey Rivera, owners of PuroClean of Morristown, were named the PuroClean Franchise of the Year at the company’s Annual International Convention. Selected from nearly 500 franchise locations across North America, PuroClean of Morristown was recognized for receiving outstanding scores across several categories, including sales growth, market share, sales revenue, and profitability, among others.

The Riveras, who co-own and operate PuroClean of Morristown, Livingston, and Bloomfield, exemplify PuroClean’s commitment to helping New Jersey residents and their properties recover from the unthinkable when disaster strikes.

As the third of 12 children, the father of two young daughters, and a decorated firefighter, Nelson knows the importance of being there for community members in their darkest hours. Currently the Deputy Fire Chief in Orange, NJ, he has earned multiple awards for his bravery and dedication to service, including the City of Orange Chamber of Commerce Valor Award, New Jersey State Firemen’s Mutual Benevolent Association Award for Valor, and the American Red Cross Hero Award.

“There can only be one Franchise of the Year, and with so many wonderful franchise owners, it’s always a tight competition,” said Steve White, President and COO of PuroClean. “As both a PuroClean Franchise Owner and an active firefighter, Nelson Rivera has worked tirelessly to put out both literal and figurative fires, putting his life on the line for others while expecting nothing in return. He has seen and helped people through their worst days, whether it be water, storm, mold, or fire damage. Nelson and Sujey exemplify what it means to be a true Paramedic of Property Damage—everyone should take a page or two out of the Rivera family’s book.”

Nelson has been a resident of Essex County since 1999, when his family made the move to Newark. He later relocated to Orange, where he began serving as a firefighter in 2009 and still serves to this day as the Deputy Fire Chief. Nelson’s journey with PuroClean began as a technician, and it was through working with the owner of PuroClean Livingston that he discovered his passion for the business.

In 2017, Nelson, along with his co-owner and wife, Sujey, moved to Livingston to be closer to the business. Soon afterward, the duo opened their first PuroClean franchise in Morristown, later expanding to Bloomfield and then Livingston, where Nelson first got his start. Nelson still serves as a chief in the Orange Fire Department, running the business when not on duty. Now, with a total of five locations – four of which are in New Jersey – his franchise serves all of Essex County and nearby areas. Recently, he expanded into Oregon in partnership with two other PuroClean franchise owners.

“We’re so honored. All I have to say is that, honestly, in the almost five years that we’ve been here, it’s been such an incredible experience. Nelson is such a hardworking person, and he’s so deserving,” Sujey said. “I want to give so many thanks to the corporate team. What we continue to do is never enough; we always want to try to be better. I appreciate all the support of everyone, [who] from the beginning, has always just shown so much love and support. We’re here because of all of you. So, thank you.”

PuroClean is one of the leading restoration franchise companies in the United States. Each year, the brand performs thousands of jobs throughout North America, providing restoration services for everything from common household mishaps to large-scale disasters.

As a leading franchise concept, the PuroClean model is ideal for business entrepreneurs passionate about contributing to their communities during times of need or natural disasters.

Mathnasium to Debut in Romania, Announces Master Franchise Agreement

2024-06-24T05:32:55-04:00June 24th, 2024|Tags: , , |

Leader in Math-Only Education Continues to Grow International Footprint, Now Spanning 11 Countries

LOS ANGELES — Mathnasium Learning Centers, an internationally known franchise with over 1,100 math-tutoring centers worldwide, announces a new signed master franchise agreement with Ms. Dana Bănică that will bring at least 25 learning centers to Romania over the next six years. This marks an important milestone for the brand—breaking into a new country and growing its global footprint.

Dana Bănică‘s Background

  • Master Franchisee, Dana Bănică, is an experienced and successful entrepreneur with a passion for innovative education. In 2018, Banica became Logiscool’s first Master Franchisee by bringing the coding school to Romania.
  • She established in her country a network of more than 60 coding schools to offer children and teenagers high-quality, engaging, and interactive digital literacy education.
  • Building on her success with Logiscool, Bănică knew it was the right time to bring Mathnasium to Romania. Her ultimate goal is to transform the way Romanian children learn and enjoy mathematics, continuing her mission to provide exceptional educational experiences that inspire and empower the next generation.

“I chose to invest in Mathnasium because I wholeheartedly believe in the brand’s mission and methodology,” stated Bănică. “Drawing from my past experience and witnessing the positive impact of engaging educational programs, I recognized Mathnasium’s potential to truly make a difference in Romania. With its proven approach of making math enjoyable and accessible, Mathnasium aligns perfectly with our objectives. Our aim is to instill a love for math in children and nurture the confidence essential for academic success and beyond. Romania is primed for this transformative shift, and I’m thrilled to play a leading role in this educational revolution.”

The current educational landscape in Romania underscores a noticeable absence of dedicated math tutoring centers, a gap that Mathnasium is ideally positioned to address.

Mathnasium’s Global Footprint

  • In the past two years, the brand has announced projections of opening an additional 25 centers in Vietnam, the brand’s largest international market, and 45 centers in Saudi Arabia.
  • With the news of this signed franchise agreement, company leadership projects international development to grow by more than 25% in 2024, compared to the previous year.
  • There continues to be vast growth potential across India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Spain, and several South American countries.
  • Mathnasium offers a unique, individualized approach to students worldwide, which can effectively address the diverse needs of students, helping them overcome math challenges and reach their full potential.

“Expanding into Romania is an exciting opportunity for us. The country’s cultural emphasis on education, with over 50% of students in primary and secondary grades using tutoring services, shows their commitment to academic excellence that aligns perfectly with our mission,” said Benjamin Simon, Regional Vice President of International at Mathnasium. “Additionally, Romania’s growing middle class and franchise-friendly environment make it an ideal market for rapid expansion through Master Franchising. We are excited to bring our unique approach to math education to Romanian students and contribute to their academic success.”
