2024-10-07T18:46:26-04:00October 7th, 2024|Tags: , , , |

Ranked #291 Overall, Commercial Cleaning Leader Lauded for Major Growth and Sales Gains Across Leading Franchise Segments

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. — Anago Cleaning Systems validated its position as an industry-leading commercial cleaning franchise brand with over 1,800 Regional and Unit Franchises throughout the U.S. and Canada, earning recognition by Franchise Times as a leader among the publication’s exclusive annual standing of the largest U.S.-based franchise systems for global systemwide sales.

“The Franchise Times Top 400 is an exclusive annual ranking of the largest U.S.-based franchise systems by global systemwide sales. The project is the result of a five-month research and reporting effort that leads to the most credible and objective franchise ranking available,” said Franchise Times Editor in Chief Laura Michaels.

Among the industries ranked, cleaning services ranked first with Franchise Times reporting a nearly 16% industry-wide growth indicator. The collection of systemwide sales data also provides useful insight into the franchise industry’s performance as the economic and consumer demand shakeout continues.

According to Franchise Times, the Top 400 sales grew 3.7% in 2023, to $740 billion, as franchise brands pushed sales in a year marked by inflation concerns and shifting consumer spending. Sales at the 10 largest franchises increased 7.2%, as those brands collectively gained more than $25 billion over the prior year.

Stable, successful economic opportunity

“Anago Cleaning Systems is once again proud to be recognized as a leader within the U.S business sector, this time from a venerated pillar within the franchise industry, Franchise Times,” said Anago CEO & President, Adam Povlitz. “The commercial cleaning industry is rarely the first thought of business ventures with new and veteran entrepreneurs, but time and again proves its viability, profitability, and service to community in both strong and uncertain economic times. We’re proud that our brand and franchise system continues to be recognized by industry leaders across North America.”

The Franchise Times Top 400 is the only ranking by systemwide sales and units of the largest 500 U.S.-based franchise brands. Published in the October issue and available in a searchable database online, the Franchise Times Top 400 also analyzes industry sectors based on percentage change in sales growth, reports the 10 fastest-growing franchises by four different measures, and includes exclusive news stories about the biggest names in franchising.

At the core of Anago Cleaning System’s success exists generational leadership that, while staying true and steadfast to traditional methods, continues to embrace changes in business climates and foster growth that considers and implements new and innovative technologies at every opportunity.

“Anago is a pioneer of the Master Franchise model, which allows successful professionals to operate their own extensive region of franchises while allowing entrepreneurs at the franchise unit level a solid foundation to invest in their success,” said Povlitz.

  • Deserving winner will receive THINK PINK package including $1,000 cash, new set of tires, and VIP spa day
  • RNR locations will participate in donating a portion of tires sales to further breast cancer research

TAMPA, Fla. — RNR Tire Express (RNR), the nation’s leading franchise retailer for tires and custom wheels, announces the launch of its ninth annual Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. Throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October), the RNR team will be donating a portion of all tire sales to breast cancer research foundations to further the advancement in the search for a cure.

RNR’s Breast Cancer Awareness campaign is meant to serve as an opportunity to recognize the resilience and fortitude shown by those women and men who have now or in the past struggled with a breast cancer diagnosis. It affords those who have been diagnosed, and loved ones, an opportunity to share their journey toward recovery not only with the RNR team, but with the entire country.

“This initiative is about more than just giving away money, it is about honoring the brave individuals who are fighting breast cancer,” said Larry Sutton, founder of RNR Tire Express. “At RNR, we believe in doing more than just serving our customers – we’re committed to making a positive impact in our communities. It is truly special to be in our ninth year of this giveaway and being able to highlight the strong and deserving breast cancer fighters and survivors.”

CertaPro Painters® Launches Sixth Paint it Pink Campaign: Over Half a Million Raised for Breast Cancer Research

2024-10-07T18:10:32-04:00October 7th, 2024|Tags: , , |

AUDUBON, Pa. — CertaPro Painters®, North America’s Most Referred Painting Company®, is launching its Paint it Pink campaign for the sixth consecutive year in partnership with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) and Breast Cancer Canada to help raise money in support of breast cancer research. Since 2019, CertaPro’s Paint it Pink has raised $555,000, which equates to approximately 11,000 hours of BCRF research.

CertaPro Painters franchisees that participate in Paint it Pink will donate a percentage of every painting project completed between Oct. 1 and Nov. 30. Local businesses and CertaPro corporate team members also participate in fundraising events. CertaPro aims to increase its donations every year, with a goal of achieving $160,000 during the months of October and November 2024. All donations will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in the U.S. and Breast Cancer Canada. If CertaPro reaches its 2024 funding goal, its Paint it Pink campaign will support roughly 3,200 hours of research for BCRF or the equivalent of 64 patients’ enrollment in a BCRF-supported clinical trial.

“The idea for Paint it Pink originated from a CertaPro franchisee who lost his wife to breast cancer and asked how our company could spread awareness and support the cause,” said Mike Stone, president & CEO of CertaPro Painters. “As a company, we strongly believe in helping those in need, supporting our employees and franchisees, and serving the local communities where we live. Our Paint it Pink initiative is incredibly important to us as it gives us the opportunity to live our core values and allows us to help pay it forward by supporting BCRF’s mission of achieving prevention and a cure for breast cancer.”

CertaPro’s Paint it Pink campaign will consist of several initiatives this year, including:

  • A Paint it Pink social media campaign will go coast to coast this year and have fun “painting” recognizable North American landmarks pink, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Times Square, the CN Tower and more! Follow us @certapro!
  • Participating franchisees will have a dedicated Paint it Pink page on their local CertaPro website with links to important resources and how to get involved.
  • Many CertaPro franchisees connect with neighboring businesses to raise awareness by painting them pink during the campaign or partner to host local fundraising events such as a 5K run or picnic.
  • CertaPro’s corporate team gets involved by participating in a step challenge whereby all donations go to Paint it Pink. Team members donate to participate in the step challenge, and if the goal is met, CertaPro will contribute up to $4,500 in addition to stepping efforts.

Anyone can get involved in Paint it Pink by making a donation to support breast cancer research. Whether you’re a business, community member, or individual looking to make a difference, your contribution can help bring us one step closer to a cure.

2024-10-01T22:40:10-04:00October 1st, 2024|Tags: , , |

Leading waxing franchise accelerates growth with new agreement, driving exciting expansion into key Ohio markets

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Waxxpot, an emerging full-service waxing franchise that provides hair-removal from head to toe for everybody and EVERY BODY, announces the launch of the newest Waxxpot salon in Grove City, Ohio. The new location officially opened last week on September 28, 2024, and is located at 1784 Stringtown Rd. Waxxpot in Grove City is the 25th location in the fast-growing franchise’s network of body waxing salons and the 7th Waxxpot salon in the greater Columbus area, growing Ohio’s footprint to 10 total locations.

Behind this agreement is Waxxhaven LLC, marking the holding company’s third location alongside its existing salons in Western Hills and Kenwood in the greater Cincinnati area. With an overall goal of expanding to a total of 11 locations across Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, Waxxhaven LLC is poised for significant growth. Kelly Buescher, General Manager and Director of Operations at Waxxpot Grove City, will lead day-to-day operations at the new site. Leveraging her experience with the company’s other locations, Buescher plans to implement a training program aimed at enhancing employee retention and performance, which will be vital for realizing the company’s expansion objectives.

“I’m excited to extend our unique vision to Grove City and enhance our already strong presence in Columbus,” said Buescher. “Having successfully managed our other locations, I know that true success comes from hard work, dedication, and effective leadership. Together, we’ll foster an inviting atmosphere for our team and clients, laying the groundwork for a bright future in this vibrant community.”

Waxxpot Grove City is poised to offer top-tier body waxing services to the community. With its innovative and inclusive approach, Waxxpot makes waxing accessible to everyone, regardless of size, shape, skin type, hair type, or gender.

“We’re thrilled to launch a new Waxxpot location in Grove City,” said Michael Abramson, President and COO of Waxxpot. “This new location is a crucial part of our strategy to strengthen our presence in Ohio, a key market for our growth. Building on the success of their other two locations, we have complete confidence in the team’s ability to elevate the brand and deliver an outstanding customer experience.”

The Waxxpot brand was created in 2014, but the original concept dates back to 2003 when founder Daniel Sadd created Salon Lofts®. Waxxpot is a natural extension of Salon Lofts, which has expanded with 4,300+ beauty professionals in 200+ locations. Waxxpot recently began franchising, and now has 14 franchised locations and 11 corporate owned locations throughout Colorado, Kentucky, Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

Waxxpot’s business model offers competitive advantages in the booming personal care sector, which is expected to grow by 3% in 2024, according to this year’s Franchise Economic Outlook report produced by the International Franchise Association and independent researcher FRANdata.

Waxxpot’s boutique-style salons feature a proprietary soft wax formula, made in Spain and derived from Beeswax, that doesn’t require temperature extremes, allowing for a gentler experience when removing hair from even the most intimate of areas. Waxxpot offers a very high revenue-per-minute business – the brand’s Franchise Disclosure Document reports the top 25% of Waxxpot’s franchised locations generated an average revenue of $1,104,618.21 in 2023*.
