Deka Lash Again Ranked #1 in its Category in Franchise 500

2024-01-16T21:05:45-05:00January 16th, 2024|Tags: , , , |

Ranked #1 in Lash, Brow and Skincare Category 

PITTSBURGH — Deka Lash, the pioneering beauty brand specializing in eyelash extensions and brow services, has been once again named to Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500®, ranked #1 in the Lash Extension, Brow Services, and Skincare Solutions category and #421 overall.

Entrepreneur’s  Franchise 500®  is the world’s first and most comprehensive franchise ranking—considered by many to be the go-to source for the fastest growing franchise brands and a key resource for anyone considering investing in a franchise.

“When Entrepreneur evaluates franchises for the Franchise 500, we look at more than 150 data points — including very visible ones like size and growth, but we also take a holistic view of the business, the industry it operates in, and the opportunities available to prospective franchisees. That includes things like franchisee support and training, brand strength and marketing, and more. Coming in at #421 on the overall list, Deka Lash also scores in the top 25% of all companies in size and growth and the top 20% for financial strength this year. That’s impressive, too, since the 2024 Franchise 500 is Entrepreneur’s most competitive ever with 1,389 franchisors submitting which is a record number,” states Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur.

One of the hottest categories in the beauty industry, the do-it-for-me lash extension market is forecast to grow by over $570 million by 2027 (Technavio). The service appeals to consumers of all backgrounds and ages seeking a way to shine a light on their natural beauty. For many, it facilitates a convenient ‘no makeup’ look without the need to apply mascara. Other customers pursue the service as a means to express their individuality and creativity by experimenting with lashes in a range of shapes, thicknesses, and colors.

Deka Lash, one of the two largest and fastest growing brands in the category, was founded by then stay-at-home mom and Lash Artist Jennifer Blair from a small, rented space in the back of a day spa and has now grown to over 130 studios across North America.

“We are honored to once again be recognized by Entrepreneur for our success. Our vision was to create an empowering, confidence-boosting service. Our members tell us they selected us based on this benefit, as well as our superior quality standards,” said Blair, CEO and Founder.

Deka Lash offers franchisees a tested and proven professional training program, a proprietary studio design uniquely tailored to optimize the client experience and support its Lash Artists, a personalized customer experience, and an industry-leading membership program.

“We owe our success to the passion and dedication our franchisees put into exceeding the expectations of every client who walks in the door,” adds Shant Assarian, President.

Deka Lash’s proven business model and growing demand for eyelash extensions position the company well for significant expansion across North America and beyond.

Buzzing with Opportunity: Bumble Roofing Enters DFW and Seeks to Create More Than 300 Jobs in the Metroplex

2024-01-16T20:41:59-05:00January 16th, 2024|Tags: , , , |

Emerging roofing solution looks to engage aspiring entrepreneurs in the booming DFW area

DALLAS Bumble Roofing, a game-changing roofing repair, installation and technology brand, revealed today its plans for strategic entry into the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) market, presenting the area’s aspiring entrepreneurs with the opportunity to bring a proven business model in an essential sector to at least 15 new territories within the region. Known for its customer-centric approach and innovative technology, Bumble Roofing aims to revolutionize the roofing industry in DFW by prioritizing customer satisfaction and community impact.

Bumble’s accelerated expansion into DFW and beyond follows a year of unprecedented urbanization coupled with record-breaking storms and natural disasters, in which the global roofing industry generated well over $100 billion with no end to continued growth in sight. In Texas alone, hail storms across the state generated $1 billion in damage this past May, and the impact of these storms on DFW in particular highlighted more than ever how invaluable trusted roofing professionals are to this community.

Between the DFW metroplex’s high volume need for impact business and its status as one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions, Bumble Roofing has identified a prime opportunity to change the roofing landscape for the better with its ethical practices and customer-centric approach. Moreover, Bumble Roofing’s expansion into the DFW market will be instrumental in boosting the local economy. The company estimates creating over 300 jobs in the DFW area and generating approximately $100 million per year in economic activity, contributing significantly to the region’s growth and development.

“As Bumble Roofing sets foot in the thriving DFW area, we’re not just envisioning business expansion; we’re committed to becoming an integral part of the community’s growth story,” said David Bitan, brand president of Bumble Roofing. “Our move to DFW isn’t just about roofs; it’s about building a network of franchisees and dedicated customers who share our values and passion for excellence. And the best part is, to be a Bumble franchisee, you don’t have to know anything about construction or roofing. Just come to us with some prior business experience, and we’ll teach you the rest. We’re excited to invite entrepreneurial minds to join us in reshaping the roofing landscape while creating meaningful opportunities for employment and positively impacting the local economy.”

Bumble Roofing is centered on customer empowerment and fairness while staunchly adhering to a policy of prioritizing its customers’ needs, refraining from upselling or price gouging especially during emergency situations. Employing cutting-edge technology, Bumble Roofing utilizes revolutionary scanning and visualization tools to deliver precise roof analysis and estimates. Additionally, the company offers a digital tracker, ensuring customers are informed about the progress of their roof repairs or replacements.

Bumble Roofing encourages individuals interested in business ownership to seize this opportunity to make a meaningful impact while embarking on a rewarding entrepreneurial venture. Total investment for a Bumble Roofing franchise is approximately $164,000 – $261,000 including the initial franchise fee. Additionally, U.S. military veterans and first responders receive a special discount on their franchise fee.
