Christina Divine was chosen from among several nominees systemwide for the non-medical care services company’s prestigious award

SAN ANTONIO — Caring Senior Service, a private-duty, non-medical home care services company, has named Brazoria County, Texas, Caring Senior Service employee Christina Divine as its 2023 Caregiver of the Year.

Divine was nominated by her employers, Mike and Adie Walls, owners of Caring Senior Service of Brazoria County.

“Christina consistently exceeds all expectations, and we’re thrilled that she was chosen as Caring Senior Service’s Caregiver of the Year,” said Adie Walls. “Her devotion to her clients is inspiring. She makes accommodations for special occasions, never complains when plans are changed and always maintains a positive attitude. We believe no one is more deserving of this award than Christina.”

In addition to receiving this honor, Divine will receive an all-expense-paid trip to the company’s annual conference in Cancun, Mexico, in April, where she will also be recognized on stage.

In their nomination of Divine, the Walls pointed to her devotion to her clients as one of the reasons she should receive the award. They said that she prepares a four-course meal from scratch daily for her clients and even makes them a meal in the slow cooker for the weekend so that they have healthy food to eat when she is not available. She also attends doctor’s visits with her clients and helps with hair and makeup.

Divine has worked with Caring Senior Service since 1997 and has been employed at three Caring Senior Service locations during her career, including Caring Senior Service of Phoenix and Caring Senior Service of Kerrville, Texas, before coming to Brazoria County in 2015. She worked at the Brazoria County location for a short time before leaving, only to return in 2023.

“When she reapplied to work here, we knew we had to have her back,” Walls said. “She’s a great asset and has made the most of her time with us.”

In late 2023, Divine received the educational requirements to become a GreatCare® Master Caregiver.

“Christina actively remains engaged in the wellbeing of her clients, overcoming daily caregiving challenges with a smile and a heart full of positivity,” said Caring Senior Service founder and CEO Jeff Salter. “Her care goes above and beyond to enhance the lives of those she serves. Christina is truly the embodiment of the spirit of Caring Senior Service, and we want to thank her for her dedication.”

Mathnasium’s Largest Multi-Unit Franchisee Attracts Investment from Snapdragon Capital Partners

Paul Zboichyk2024-02-12T17:54:39-05:00February 9th, 2024|Tags: math tutoring, math-only supplemental education franchise, Mathnasium|

Leading Math-Only Supplemental Education Franchise Positioned for Substantial Growth in Booming Education Sector

LOS ANGELES — Mathnasium Learning Centers has announced that its largest multi-unit franchisee, Mo Khalil, has received a strategic investment from Snapdragon Capital Partners, a private equity investment firm that partners with the founders and executives of high growth consumer companies.

Through the investment, Khalil and Snapdragon will sign a development plan to open 25 additional Mathnasium centers over the next five years.

Khalil comes from humble beginnings as an immigrant from Egypt who experienced homelessness at a young age, but has now grown to become a successful entrepreneur – and has been a top-performing franchisee for nine consecutive years in the Mathnasium network. Khalil established Khalil Ventures in 2010, and what began as one center in Central Florida has now grown to a portfolio of nearly 55 centers throughout the United States. With the brand’s established curriculum and teaching methods, combined with its proven business model, Khalil has built a multi-unit empire. He’s also been recognized by Mathnasium for “Best Turnaround of a Resale” and “Top Multi-Unit Operator by AUV.”

With the global education market expected to reach $8 trillion in value by 2030, prospects or prospective franchisees are looking to stake their claim in Mathnasium’s franchise opportunity.

“I am extremely excited to begin working with Snapdragon to add to Mathnasium’s next chapter of growth,” said Khalil. “When I first immigrated to the United States, learning English and assimilating into New York City’s Bronx County was challenging. But with an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion to achieve the American dream, I was able to open my first Mathnasium and do what I love most – teach math. This signed development plan will be monumental not only for me, but also for the entire brand. We look forward to bringing Mathnasium to new markets and helping even more students.”

Snapdragon is a trusted partner for growth companies seeking to achieve their full potential. Having been primarily focused on health and wellness brands, this alignment also serves as a milestone for Snapdragon as it marks the brand’s entrance into the education industry. Through this partnership, Mathnasium is groomed to provide additional resources to support its fast-growing franchise network.

“We are incredibly excited to partner with Mo and his talented team,” said Mark Grabowski, Managing Partner of Snapdragon. “He has built an incredible portfolio and has an unparalleled track record of success. We look forward to entering the education sector and supporting the next stage of growth for Mo and Mathnasium.”

Mathnasium Learning Centers specializes in math-only tutoring and is committed to providing the world’s best instruction. The goal: teach children math in a way that makes sense to them. For decades the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way kids learn math — building students’ understanding of math concepts through personalized instruction and a customized learning plan — all while producing tremendous results and helping students achieve their full potential in math and in life.

“The partnership between Mo and Snapdragon showcases Mathnasium’s healthy franchise model, strong AUV, and new center growth potential in the industry,” said Mike Davis, CEO of Mathnasium. “The investment by Snapdragon is a signal to existing franchisees of the value of their center/portfolio and speaks volumes about the strength of the network at a center level, as well as territory expansion opportunities. The best upside with the deal is that 25 new communities will get a Mathnasium, and many more kids and families will change their lives through math.”

With prime territories available, Mathnasium provides franchisees with comprehensive training and support, including an initial training program, ongoing training, a balanced approach between corporate and locally driven marketing to capture the addressable market, and access to proprietary software tools and resources. Company leadership has identified California, Illinois, New York, and International as prime regions for growth, and is actively seeking both single and multi-unit operators looking to stake their claim in the growing education sector.

Celebree School Enters 30th Year with Impressive Franchise Growth & Sales Performance

Paul Zboichyk2024-02-12T17:53:22-05:00February 9th, 2024|Tags: Celebree School, early-childhood education, preschool, summer camp programs, toddler care|

Early Childhood Education Franchise Builds on Momentous 2023 with Increased YOY Sales and Multi-Unit Deals

BALTIMORE — Celebree School, a leader in early childhood education that provides infant and toddler care, preschool, before and aftercare, and summer camp programs, is primed for continued growth in 2024 following a groundbreaking 2023 that included several new openings, licenses and franchise agreements for new Celebree Schools across the country.

Celebree School opened seven new schools last year, and solidified 23 unique awards consisting of a combination of licenses, future development agreements, and new markets – with 70 percent being multi-unit agreements. Embarking on its 30^th year, Celebree School currently has 47 schools open and 55 franchisees who have been awarded over 100 sites. The brand has presence in 17 states with an enrollment of more than 4,570 children.

Alongside this impressive brand development is a strong revenue performance. According to Celebree School’s Franchise Disclosure Document, the average Gross Revenues for the three franchised Celebree Schools that were open for the entire 2023 year were $2,074,263. Additionally, the brand updated its franchise sales and onboarding process by implementing AI-enabled solutions, scheduling tools, and automated workflows, resulting in a 130 percent franchise sales increase YOY.

Key to Celebree School’s 2023 success was a winning formula of expanding with the right franchisees, breaking into new markets with the footing of a new corporate hub strategy, and leaning heavily on its proven infrastructure of support, while prioritizing systemwide enhancements. With plenty of room to grow, the brand entered multiple new markets last year, with Phoenix and Denver becoming prime target markets for 2024. Celebree Schools aims to continue to grow its footprint with qualified, engaged individuals seeking single and multi-unit opportunities who are involved in their communities, have a passion for childhood education and are eager to explore the world of franchising.

To support Celebree School’s aggressive expansion, the brand is continuing its corporate hub strategy in strategic growth markets across the country to fuel brand awareness. The first corporate hub location will open later this year.

“Over the last 30 years, we’ve built an incredible infrastructure for growth,” said Richard Huffman, Founder and CEO of Celebree School. “As we look to the year ahead, we will continue to invest in our family of schools by expanding internal systems and updating our curriculum to focus on Growing People Small™ in pre-literacy, early mental health awareness, conscious discipline, outdoor engagement, and extracurriculars. There is immense opportunity ahead as we expand our nationwide footprint and set the industry standard within the early childhood education sector.”

In addition, the brand has been recognized its outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power by Entrepreneur magazine twice. Celebree School claimed the No. 1 spot in the 2023 Top New and Emerging Franchises , and most recently, landed on the highly competitive 2024 Top Franchise 500 list – an enormous accomplishment for an emerging brand.

Celebree School lives by its promise to Grow People Big and Small™, and was founded on the belief that success in early childhood development is equal parts curriculum and a connection that extends beyond the classroom to address the needs of the whole child and the whole family. Each Celebree School is a village made up of parents, children, and educators with a focus on curriculum-based care that prepares your child for kindergarten and beyond.

Programs are available for children six weeks to 12-years-old with unique curriculums designed to develop positive social skills and values while allowing children to learn about their world through age-appropriate play, projects, and activities. Care is available part-time or full-time, and parents are allowed to drop in and visit at any time.

When franchisees invest with Celebree School, they’re investing in an award-winning organization with a strong culture, solid systems, and a proven business model backed with 30 years of experience in providing exceptional early childhood education.

Temporary Wall Systems announces the opening of three new Detroit area locations at regional construction convention

Paul Zboichyk2024-02-12T17:52:04-05:00February 8th, 2024|Tags: Building Trades, HomeFront Brands, Property Service, Rentable Containment Walls, Temporary Wall Systems|

The owners of Temporary Wall Systems Ann Arbor, Farmington Hills and Sterling Heights will showcase their modular walls at the Great Lakes Design & Construction Expo

DETROIT — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first and leading full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, will celebrate the opening of three new greater Detroit area locations with a booth at the Great Lakes Design & Construction Expo on Feb. 14 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan.

Temporary Wall Systems Ann Arbor and Sterling Heights, owned by the husband-and-wife team, Scott and Nadine Harrison, and Temporary Wall Systems Farmington Hills, owned by Lee Ritter, are joining forces to showcase their temporary containment walls to Southeast Michigan construction contractors, builders and remodelers at Booth No. 419. They will be giving away a Yeti 45 Hard Cooler at the event.

“We have lived in a variety of locations around the U.S., and there is no other place that we wanted to start our business together than right here in Metro Detroit, which is where I was born and raised,” said Scott Harrison. “Nadine and I have been married for 30 years and have raised two children. Now, we want to extend our partnership to include the ownership of Temporary Wall Systems Ann Arbor and Sterling Heights. We want to build a legacy together.”

Harrison’s professional background in film production, marketing and advertising works seamlessly with Nadine Harrison’s background in sales, customer service and event planning. The couple wants to combine their skills to offer local builders a sustainable and durable, yet temporary containment option that protect people and property from construction.

“I’ve worked in several exciting industries, from riverboats to planning private events,” Nadine Harrison said. “But starting this venture with Scott is my most exhilarating experience to date. We’re thrilled to connect with our extensive local contacts to bring this modern product to market and position our businesses for success.”

Ritter, who boasts 12 years of service in the Air National Guard, is passionate about Michigan’s natural beauty.

“The modular walls that Temporary Wall Systems provides align with my love for the great outdoors because they limit the amount of construction waste that enters local landfills,” he said. “There’s no reason to build temporary walls out of permanent material that must be torn down and thrown away. TWS’s rental-ready solutions solve that crucial problem.”

Ritter has a bachelor’s degree in aviation flight technology and has a background in business ownership and financial management.

The Great Lakes Design & Construction Expo is hosted by the Construction Association of Michigan and the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan. The one-day event brings together residential and commercial contractors, home builders, suppliers and service providers to exchange ideas on the solutions and tools to improve the industry’s success and growth.

TWS is part of HomeFront Brands, a family of emerging, franchised residential and commercial property service brands that offers integrated technology, data support, lead generation, business intelligence systems and training to its partners.

“I’m immensely grateful for the incredible journey I’ve had bringing my years of franchise experience to leading Massage Heights over the past few years,” Boresow said. “It has been an honor to contribute to the growth and success of this growing wellness brand. It’s a wonderful time to witness the return of Massage Heights’ visionary founder Shane Evans to an active leadership role. The franchisees and I have full confidence in Shane’s ability to guide the company to even greater heights, and I look forward to cheering on the continued success of Massage Heights from the sidelines.”

Leading with Empathy
In addition to the having unquestionable passion for the brand as its co-founder, Evans also has skin in the game and empathy for franchisees, owning a Massage Heights Retreat herself. Over the years, she has also gained perspective on the franchise industry and the franchising model in general, sitting on the board of the International Franchise Association, serving as Co-Founder and Principal of Summit Franchise Supply, LLC, and partner of The Gents Place.

As she steps back into the role of CEO, Evans said her primary focus will be fostering a culture of collaboration, transparency, and innovation among the home office team and franchisee system. “We will strive for operational excellence, enhanced franchise support, and sustainable growth, benefiting all members of our Massage Heights family,” she noted.

Emerging Functional Fitness Brand to Make Market Debut in Bethesda with Bariatric Surgeon Dr. Hitesh Amin

BETHESDA, Md. — Pvolve, the omni-channel fitness company with an innovative, clinically-backed method that pairs functional movement with proprietary equipment, has announced news of their latest franchise agreement, intended to bring Bethesda their first studio location in the fall. This agreement marks the franchise’s official debut in Maryland, and is being spearheaded by Dr. Hitesh Amin, a local bariatric surgeon and entrepreneur.

Dr. Amin has owned and operated a private practice for 18 years. His passion for helping patients along their health journeys motivated his search for an additional business opportunity that allowed him to further support his patients in sustaining their weight loss naturally post-surgery. Eventually, that search led him to Pvolve.

“Functional fitness is a unique concept,” said Dr. Amin. “Most workouts are intent on redlining you, encouraging you to push yourself to a physiological level that depletes you. What I love about the Pvolve Method is that it is intended to be sustainable for the human body, accessible to all people regardless of where they stand on the health continuum.”

Dr. Amin hopes to open his first studio in Downtown Bethesda in the Fall of 2024, citing the area’s passion for health and wellness.

“We are humbled to be working with Dr. Amin on our Washington D.C. area expansion,” said Pvolve President Julie Cartwright. “Dr. Amin’s work in the medical field as a bariatric surgeon uniquely positions him for this opportunity and is also a testament to the efficacy of this method. We are excited to see how his studio transforms the lives of both his patients and community.”

Cartwright credits Pvolve’s innovative approach to functional fitness and its recent partnership with world-renowned actress, producer, and director, Jennifer Aniston, as the reason the brand has experienced explosive growth this year. In addition, the franchise offers a multi-revenue stream business model, proprietary equipment, and hybrid class experiences that further fuel its expansion.
