Local owner Jennifer Dice will showcase the company’s reusable containment wall solutions

LAS VEGAS — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first and leading full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, will announce the grand opening of its new Las Vegas, Nevada, location at the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) International Builders’ Show (IBS) at the Las Vegas Convention Center Feb. 27-29.

“I’m on a mission to transform the local construction landscape,” owner Jennifer Dice said. “Temporary Wall Systems has the perfect solution to elevate the standard of renovation projects in the Las Vegas area. They’re safer, more convenient and more visually appealing than temporary walls made of permanent material. To top it off, they can be reused, so that material doesn’t end up in our landfills.”

Dice will be at the IBS show at Booth No. C8315 and will showcase her Temporary Wall Systems Las Vegas containment wall solutions.

Dice and her husband, Skylar, moved to the area two years ago, and her professional experience includes casino marketing and operations and economic development. She brings the skills she learned at these positions to her Temporary Wall Systems venture.

“Starting a new business will provide me with an ever-evolving learning experience to foster personal and professional growth,” she said. “I’m committed to making a positive impact in my local community by providing a superior containment wall solution. Las Vegas is always growing and expanding, and these walls are perfect for an area that sees a lot of construction and renovation.”

Dice said she chose HomeFront Brands, Temporary Wall Systems’ parent company, as her franchising partner because of its alignment with her goals.

“The TWS team shares my vision, values and goals,” she said. “Working with their team has been both exciting and rewarding.”

Temporary Wall Systems Las Vegas serves the Boulder City, Enterprise, Henderson, Las Vegas, Paradise, Spring Valley, Summerlin, Whitney and Winchester areas.

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.

2024 Garage Living Trends: 3 Ways to Bring the New Year’s Popular Interior Designs to Your Garage

Paul Zboichyk2024-02-28T19:58:03-05:00February 28th, 2024|Tags: Garage Living, home improvement franchise, luxury garage interior makeovers|

TORONTO — Most homeowners think a garage is exempt from trends in interior design. Not so, according to the professional garage designers at Garage Living, who have seen an uptick in customers turning their garages into secondary living spaces. They have released three recommendations on how you can apply the latest trends in interior design to your garage in 2024.

1. Holistic Design
This trend is about assessing the activities you and your family do in the home and designing your spaces to match them. That could mean adding a home office or a craft corner to your garage and, for others, adding a mud room or a sitting area to binge-watch your favorite TV shows. One homeowner in Atlanta even recently opted for all of the above.

2. Blended Storage
More designers are implementing hidden or blended storage into homes to provide a clean, clutter-free look. Garage Living often installs a hinged horizontal cabinet door that allows you to mount a flat-screen TV. This means you can watch TV and easily lift the door to access your hidden video game equipment. Some people use blended storage to conceal functional items in their garages, like free weights or a hidden coffee bar.

3. Biophilic Design
Simply put, the biophilic design trend brings the outside world inside. For Garage Living’s Chicago franchisee, that has meant a recent increase in garage renovations where homeowners ask for a customized space to house their outdoor plants in the winter. Many homeowners aim to take advantage of as much natural light as they can in their garage by installing windows or glass garage doors.

By following these recommendations, Garage Living’s co-founder and president at franchise systems, Aaron Cash, says, “Your garage can become a well-designed, multi-functional space that reflects your style while staying on-trend with the 2024 interior design concepts.”

About Garage Living
Garage Living is ranked the No. 1 home improvement franchise in the U.S. and a top 500 franchise overall. Founded in 2005, Garage Living is a full-service, single-source solution that offers homeowners a turn-key fix from design to installation. With 47 franchise locations across North America, Garage Living transforms garages into clean, functional, and stylish places.

The Designery to celebrate a new South Charlotte location coming soon at local home show

Paul Zboichyk2024-02-28T19:48:04-05:00February 28th, 2024|Tags: Bath Design, Closet Design, HomeFront Brands, Kitchen Design, The Designery|

The owners will be on hand at the Charlotte Home & Remodeling Show Feb. 23-25 to introduce themselves and their new offering to the community

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Designery, an immersive, full-service kitchen, bath and closet design center featuring high-quality cabinets, countertops and flooring, will showcase a new Charlotte, North Carolina location coming soon with an appearance at the Charlotte Home & Remodeling Show at the Park Expo and Conference Center Feb. 23-25.

Owners Tim Gunnels and Craig Ausrud believe Charlotte’s strong home construction and renovation market will be welcoming to the turn-key installation, demolition services and interactive design features The Designery offers. The Designery South Charlotte team will be at Booth 934 at the home show.

“Charlotte has a lot to offer,” Gunnels said. “The city has a healthy lifestyle, it’s a safe city and there are a lot of things to do in the area. That makes it attractive for continued growth, but sometimes people can feel overwhelmed when they start a home remodeling project. We believe The Designery’s use of virtual reality and quality products helps to take some of the mystery and fear out of the design process.”

Ausrud added that The Designery’s consultation model and visualization technology aligns perfectly with his and Gunnels’ professional backgrounds.

“We discovered The Designery while searching for a franchise opportunity and felt the business model suited our backgrounds and entrepreneurial spirit,” Ausrud said. “Once we met the people at the parent company, HomeFront Brands, we knew we had found the right business for us.”

Both Gunnels and Ausrud have experience in design and management. Gunnels has a mechanical engineering degree from Louisiana Tech University and a masters in engineering management from Christian Brothers University in Memphis. Ausrud has a degree in mechanical design from Western Technical College in La Crosse, Wisconsin and has been trained in business management and lean manufacturing.

The Designery’s in-house design expertise and extensive selection of products, including more than 100 cabinet styles, provide advantages to both homeowners and contractors. Its showrooms provide the ideal setting for personal design consultation, material and finish selection, and a virtual reality design view.

Leading Massage Franchise Responds to High Demand for its Services, Grows Footprint with Husband-Wife Duo

LAS VEGAS — With the U.S. wellness industry valued at $1.8 trillion, leading massage and wellness franchise Massage Heights brings continued growth to Las Vegas with a signed franchise agreement. Further growing its footprint in Nevada, the new Retreat will provide massage and skin therapy to those seeking personalized wellness treatments outside of the tourist-centric Vegas Strip. As consumers’ interest in wellness services continue to rise, prospective franchisees are looking to stake their claim within the Massage Heights franchise opportunity.

Behind the new agreement is husband-wife duo, James and Eshelle Manion. Originally from Idaho, the couple relocated to Las Vegas six years ago. After a close family member used massage therapy to manage her Parkinson’s and dementia symptoms, the Manions were inspired to have their next venture be within the wellness industry. In finding Massage Heights and falling in love with the concept, the entrepreneurial duo decided to sign their agreement in honor of the aunt who encouraged this new journey.

Combining Eshelle’s marketing and sales background, and her experience as a manager of another massage concept, with James’ finance and management expertise, the Manions bring a wealth of knowledge with them to Massage Heights. Becoming a true family business, the Manions’ son will also be working in the retreat to spearhead social media and IT operations.

“James and I have experienced first-hand a need for more accessible massage concepts in the area, and we are here to deliver,” said Eshelle. “In opening our Massage Heights, we hope to become more engrained in the community and give back to Parkinson’s organizations. We are excited to provide the Las Vegas area a solution to the high demand for therapeutic massage and skincare services through a brand with a proven business model.”

Massage Heights continues to prioritize innovation with its service and retail offerings to meet the changing needs of consumers. As these efforts help drive franchisee profitability, advances in marketing, strong unit economics, and proprietary technology have also contributed to a high-performing sales year.

The International Franchise Association (IFA) reported that service-based industries will lead overall franchise expansion, with beauty, fitness, health and wellness concepts ranking on the top of this list. With the industry primed for increased growth, Massage Heights has identified key target growth markets and has prime territories available nationwide.

“With the industry poised for aggressive growth, there has never been a more opportune time to join the Massage Heights brand,” said Ashley Schuetz, Chief Marketing Officer of Massage Heights. “James and Eshelle embody a deep passion and unwavering commitment to the wellness of others and we are excited to continue to expand the brand’s footprint in the Las Vegas market.”

Massage Heights is currently seeking single and multi-unit operators to join its growing brand. To learn about Massage Heights franchise opportunities, visit https://www.massageheightsfranchise.com/.

Premiere IV Therapy Brand Posts 120% YOY Growth to Close Out 2023

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Prime IV Hydration and Wellness, the nation’s leading and fastest-growing IV therapy franchise, has confirmed that 2023 was the most significant year-to-date for the brand’s franchise opportunity; having closed out the year with 108 spas open and 244 sold in what was only their 3rd year of franchising.

Of those operating spas, 59 were opened in 2023 alone, representing a 120% YOY rate of growth for the franchise. This is up from the 113% growth the brand posted in 2022. Much of that development has stemmed from the public’s growing recognition of the intravenous modality, and its growing demand in markets across the country.

The Prime IV team hopes to open an additional 97 spas this year, in line with their stated ambition to have 750 franchise locations in service by the end of 2027.

“Educating communities on the efficacy of IV therapy has often seemed like an uphill battle. It’s not easy leading the charge and driving acceptance for a holistic health alternative most people don’t know exists,” shared Prime IV founder and CEO Amy Neary. “But to see how far the brand has come, how quickly we’ve gotten here, to have opened our 100^th location after just 3 years, it makes me confident that narrative is changing drastically.”

Prime IV’s 2023 performance was enough to begin catching the attention of some of the industry’s most prestigious, sough-after accolades. The franchise ranked #1 in the IV Therapy Category for Entrepreneur’s 2024 Franchise 500, and was named a Top Franchise for 2024 by Franchise Business Review in their annual ranking that’s judged solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance.

“The feats of accomplishment we came by this past year exceeded anything we could have expected, especially being a relatively new concept in the field,” said Neary. “But now, our team is buzzing with anticipation, looking ahead at the milestones, new territories, and systemwide developments we plan to see in 2024. Much of which will be touched on at our 2^nd annual franchise conference down in Tulum later this month.”

Those wanting to connect with the Prime IV team to further explore the brand’s franchise opportunity are encouraged to email JoinUs@primeivhydration.com with any questions they may have, or to visit primeivhydration.com/franchising for more information.

About Prime IV Hydration and Wellness:
Prime IV was founded in 2017 by Amy Neary, a wellness industry veteran who launched the brand as a premier intravenous hydration therapy spa. The brand ranked #1 in the IV Therapy Category for Entrepreneur’s 2024 Franchise 500. Prime IV formulates IV vitamin therapies that help maximize the overall health and wellness of its members. Whether looking to take control of your health and boost the immune system, help heal the body at a cellular level, or to fight aging of the brain and body, Prime IV is the answer.

PHOENIX — The International Franchise Association (IFA) today named John Villon and Nilo Quiroz, owners of three PuroClean locations, and one additional location opening soon within Texas, as a 2023 Franchisee of the Year. Villon and Quiroz, owners of PuroClean of Central Southwest, Sugarland South, The Woodlands, and soon Pearland, were honored at the 64th IFA Annual Convention in Phoenix, Arizona for being outstanding franchise establishment owner-operators.

“Franchisees of the Year exemplify what franchising is all about – providing opportunity, serving others, and fulfilling the American Dream,” said Matthew Haller, President and CEO of the International Franchise Association. “We are proud to recognize John Villon and Nilo Quiroz with the highest honor IFA awards to individual franchisees, and I have no doubt their work is changing lives and making a lasting community impact.”

The IFA’s Franchisee of the Year Award recognizes leading franchise owners from IFA member brands whose outstanding performance and contributions help protect, enhance, and promote the franchise business model. Nominated by their parent company, individuals are selected for their involvement in their communities, embodying the entrepreneurial spirit, fostering a strong and healthy culture with their workforce, and assisting their fellow franchisees when called upon.

For more than 20 years, PuroClean has helped home and business owners with their restoration and remediation needs, serving communities across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico with a network of over 460 offices. Villon and Quiroz represent the entire PuroClean family and their commitment to providing top-tier restoration services to their community. The two are honored and humbled to accept this award which solidifies the fact that the environment that they have cultivated is something unique, special, and loved by their community.

“I am beyond proud of John Villon and Nilo Quiroz for this amazing accomplishment,” said Steve White, President and COO of PuroClean. “Their dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence not only reflects their own success but also the strength of our franchise system as a whole.”

John Villon and Nilo Quiroz set out to introduce a concept that would positively impact their local community and change lives in the process. Hailing from Peru and Mexico respectively, John and Nilo brought their expertise from the oil and gas sector, before embarking on their entrepreneurial venture with PuroClean. Their journey is characterized by an unyielding determination to grow and excel, driven by the aspiration to create a lasting legacy for their families and to potentially involve the next generation in their endeavors.

Their exceptional trajectory of success began in 2021, when they shattered records within their first year of operation, earning the esteemed PuroClean Rookie of the Year Award. Within a short span, they expanded to three offices and set ambitious targets, showcasing their rapid and strategic growth. Their journey underscores a commitment to excellence and customer service, celebrating the fact that their locations are some of the highest-rated in the city of Houston. John and Nilo epitomize the entrepreneurial spirit that fuels exceptional achievements within the PuroClean network.

There are over 800,000 franchised businesses across the U.S., providing over 8.7 million direct jobs and generating over $850 billion in economic output.
