Tatyana Stemkovski2022-02-22T09:35:26-05:00February 22nd, 2022|Tags: cutting-edge franchise model, decade of proven cannabis operation, emerging industry, franchise innovation, Item 9 Labs Corp., producer and retailer of cannabis, Unity Rd.|

Dispensary Franchise Represents First of Its Kind at Annual Event, Presents on the Value of the Franchise Business Model.

PHOENIX — Unity Rd., the first true vertically integrated cannabis dispensary franchise from Item 9 Labs Corp. (OTCQX: INLB), continues to establish itself as a rising trailblazer in franchising. The first brand of its kind to become an International Franchise Association (IFA) member, Chief Franchise Officer Mike Weinberger will be presenting on Sunday, February 27 at 10:30 a.m. PST in the ‘Education Track’ of the organization’s annual convention.

Weinberger’s presentation, “Cannabis and Franchising: The Perfect Match,” will share insight on how franchising has made its way into cannabis, providing attendees with an inside look at the roadmap to franchising this type of concept, the value it brings to franchising and future industry growth.

“The franchise business model has proven itself to help current and future entrepreneurs succeed across various industries, but there has been little to no true presence from the cannabis industry in franchising until recently,” said Weinberger, who has 20 years of franchising experience. “Sharing thought leadership and industry trends in the rapidly evolving cannabis industry at the IFA Convention is an important step in educating industry leaders and acknowledges society’s increasing acceptance of cannabis enterprises.”

The brand’s Vice President of Communications, Jayne Levy, is also facilitating a Thought Leadership Roundtable session on the topic “Building Your Brand: For the Start-Up Franchisor.”

The IFA’s Annual Convention is regarded as the most prestigious event for the franchise community and geared toward new and existing franchisors, franchisees and suppliers. The conference provides them with the latest news in the industry and helps build a community with others to match unique learning styles for potential growth and to maximize business development. In addition to Unity Rd., attendees will have the opportunity to hear from other franchise leaders such as Marco’s Pizza and Unleashed Brands.

“Cannabis is a 25-plus billion dollar a year industry that is still in its infancy,” added Levy. “IFA’s Annual Convention is the perfect opportunity for us to share the economic value of franchising brings and why now is the right time to get involved in the rapidly growing space. The franchise model is the solution to keeping dispensary ownership local and Unity Rd. is the one leading the charge.”

Unity Rd. is the first to truly franchise cannabis dispensaries on a national scale in the U.S. Launched in 2018, the cannabis franchise has franchised shops in operation in Boulder, Colorado and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and multiple agreements signed with nearly 20 entrepreneurial groups who are in various stages of development nationwide.

The complexities of operating a cannabis business make it difficult for small, independent dispensaries to understand and stay on top of all the varying regulations and everyday challenges of managing and operating a compliant and successful dispensary. The Unity Rd. franchise opportunity provides a solution for industry newcomers and small, locally owned and operated dispensaries to compliantly thrive, thanks to the robust backing and support of a national franchise.

The dispensary franchise is actively seeking qualified partners who would benefit from the systems, processes and ongoing support the franchise offers. To learn more about the Unity Rd. franchise opportunity, contact franchise@unityrd.com, call 720-923-5262 or visit unityrd.com.

NerdsToGo Seeks Franchise Expansion in Milwaukee, With Goal Set to Develop Eight New Units in the Market

Tatyana Stemkovski2022-02-18T10:21:11-05:00February 18th, 2022|Tags: business services, computer and technology services, NerdsToGo, Propelled Brands|

Leading computer and technology repair service seeks to provide assistance to small-and-medium sized businesses in a new market.

CARROLLTON, Texas — NerdsToGo, a leading computer and technology repair services franchise, is looking to expand its presence in Milwaukee by approximately eight units, as the increasing demand for in-home technology solutions continues to rise.

“With so many businesses offering remote work for their employees, the services NerdsToGo provides are more valuable now than ever before,” said Mark Jameson, chief support and development officer at Propelled Brands. “NerdsToGo has an amazing opportunity in the Milwaukee market, and we are confident that our proven business model along with the support and resources provided, will allow our franchisees to thrive.”

The NerdsToGo business model has created a culture of excellence where Nerds are given the opportunity to grow and profit from their skills, while offering a high standard of professional service to customers.

“When Propelled Brands acquired NerdsToGo, I knew they would take the FASTSIGNS business model and bring those tools to the NerdsToGo franchise,” said Chuck Bailey, a NerdsToGo franchise owner. “NerdsToGo bridges a gap that exists between the large corporate IT services companies and the mom and pop stores that are out there. Propelled Brands is setting up NerdsToGo to be a lean, mean, franchising machine, and I am excited to be a part of that transformation.”

Prospective franchisees do not need experience in information technology, but should have a strong desire to grow a successful business in their local community, developing relationships with small business owners to become their outsourced IT department.

The initial investment for a NerdsToGo franchise is approximately $146,200 – $217,050, including a $49,750 franchise fee. Ideal candidates have a net worth of $300,000, of which $80K is liquid. Additionally, NerdsToGo offers a special incentive for veterans and first responders, including paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers, sheriffs, and firefighters, including a 50% reduction on the franchise fee – a savings of $24,875.

For information about the NerdsToGo franchise opportunity, contact Mark Jameson (mark.jameson@propelledbrands.com or 214-346-5679)

About NerdsToGo
NerdsToGo, Inc. launched its original location in Guilford, CT in 2003 and quickly became the emerging leader in providing computer and technology-based services to both the small and medium-sized business market and the residential market. NerdsToGo began franchising in 2017 and quickly grew to 25 independently owned franchise locations in 16 states. In 2020, Fastsigns Holdings Inc. acquired GTN CAPITAL GROUP, LLC, the parent company of NerdsToGo.

In 2021, Propelled Brands was formed, the corporate umbrella that includes FASTSIGNS®, SIGNWAVE® in Australia where FASTSIGNS centers operate under the SIGNWAVE brand, NerdsToGo®, an emerging IT services franchise brand acquired in September 2020, and Suite Management Franchising, LLC, the parent company of MY SALON Suite and Salon Plaza in June 2021. With a focus on business-to-business franchises and the people behind those businesses, Propelled Brands will help each franchise confidently navigate forward based on their unique position, momentum and purpose.

NerdsToGo locations provide the total solution in computer and technology support to customers, and the company’s signature service is delivered by sending a Nerd onsite to customer locations in a well-branded, eye-catching Nerd Van. Customers can also receive service through remote support or by visiting a local NerdsToGo service center. NerdsToGo acts as the IT department for small to medium sized businesses by helping to design, implement and support IT networks, provide data backup & continuity services, cybersecurity solutions, cloud services, remote support, vendor management services and overall routine maintenance.

Franchise Veteran to lead The DRIPBaR to New Heights in 2022.

WRENTHAM, Mass. — The DRIPBaR, an IV vitamin therapy franchise growing expeditiously across America, is now moving forward with franchise veteran Ben Crosbie as CEO. Crosbie, previously the Chief Development Officer for the brand, has spent the past several years expanding the brand to a dozen locations with over 430 in different stages of development. Crosbie’s passion to turn cellular health into a lifestyle is pushing franchise expansion forward with tremendous growth expected in 2022.

“Since 2019 we have been able to develop a comprehensive system to support our franchisees. Our operations and franchise system only continue to grow stronger,” said Crosbie. “Everyone is starting to recognize the power of intravenous therapies to maintain their best health and are seeking new ways to complement conventional treatment options. It is my mission to maintain the high standards we have set forth to continue to be the most professional IV therapy franchise with the highest quality out there.”

Crosbie is an accomplished entrepreneur and franchisor also serving as the Founder and CEO for ZOR 411, a franchise development company.

Crosbie began his career as a personal trainer in Boston, MA. In 2006, through the feedback he received from the network of clients and fitness enthusiasts that he developed, he was inspired to create his first business, Equilibrium, a high-end fitness center, full-service spa, and cafe which he grew to three locations. Ben gained even further knowledge in health and fitness franchise development in 2014 when he secured the global rights to TapouT brand. With this brand, he founded and developed the popular martial-arts-infused fitness business, TapouT Fitness. His vision and foresight for the brand led the company to sell over 500 franchise locations in 11 countries. During this endeavor he brought on the complete operational team to lead, develop and continue the growth of the company. During his five years with TapouT Fitness (2014–2019), he held the positions of CEO, CDO and Vice Chairman alike.

“I want to bring a modern and accessible approach to help everyday people across America,” said Crosbie. “We are blazing a path and going where others have not. The interest we are already receiving from people wanting to become franchise partners is astounding and we are ready to meet the demand.”

The DRIPBaR is expected to open as many as 50 locations in 2022 in areas across Long Island, Atlanta, Hawaii, and Arizona. The brand is targeting southern California, New York City, and all areas in between for franchise expansion. Each DRIPBaR location is USP 797 compliant and offers 20 IV Lifestyle or Health Support drips including the Jet Setter, Time Machine, Restoration, Flu Fighter and High C. All IV drips are handled by registered nurses under the guidance of a licensed medical director.

Ace Handyman Services and Dispatch Bring “Local Hardware Store” Experience Into Your Home

Tatyana Stemkovski2022-02-16T10:21:36-05:00February 16th, 2022|Tags: Ace Handyman Services, Ace Hardware's handyman division, home and commercial maintenance, improvement and remodeling services|

Dispatch is empowering home service brands to use customer experience as a differentiator.

BOSTON — Dispatch – the leading field service software platform for home service franchise businesses – has partnered with Ace Handyman Services to give customers Ace Hardware’s renowned expertise and customer experience for their home projects.

Ace Handyman Services – formerly Handyman Matters – is Ace Hardware’s new handyman division, created to help loyal Ace customers achieve their home improvement project goals. Ace Handyman Services allows customers to hire reliable, experienced craftsmen to come into their homes and assist with projects that may need an extra hand or some additional expertise.

Handyman Matters was a long-time customer of Dispatch, already providing an unparalleled home service experience in the handyman market with Dispatch’s powerful field service toolset. Ace Hardware saw this emphasis on customer experience – enabled by Dispatch – and acquired Handyman Matters to provide the infrastructure for their new handyman services arm.

“Ace had services on the radar for quite some time, and when they went out to find a business like ours, our core values really lined up – our already great customer reviews, and our tagline of helping you love your home” Said Chris Bue, who was in a leadership role at Handyman Matters, and is now President at Ace Handyman.

Since the acquisition, Dispatch and Ace Handyman Services have successfully implemented their offering at over 160 Ace Hardware locations and counting, creating a holistic home improvement destination at popular stores around the country.

Avi Goldberg, Dispatch Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, has seen this before – “Retailers across industries are realizing that pairing services with their retail offering is the best way to build loyalty, drive foot traffic, and provide a complete experience to their customers – and Ace has quickly become a leader in this space.”

The Dispatch Solution

Dispatch works with home service enterprises to provide visibility into the performance of their locations and independent contractors, and to enable every home service customer experience to be a modern and branded one. With the consumerization of technology and the increasing demand for modern home service delivery, brands need to evolve to stay competitive.

“Customer experience is even more important when you’re thinking about stepping into someone’s home. It’s one thing for a customer to step into your store, but when you step into the customer’s home – that attention to a customer’s needs, and just showing respect and being truly helpful is really very important ” – notes Aaron Williams, Ace Handyman’s VP of Technology.

When using Dispatch, home service brands can feel confident that the experience being delivered to their customers on their behalf is one that exceeds modern expectations.

Building Steps to Success

In a recent case study, Ace Handyman Services details how using the Dispatch platform has enabled their handyman business to scale and align with Ace Hardware’s famous focus on customer experience.

Through using Dispatch, Ace Handyman Services was able to show measurable growth across several important success indicators, leading to:

Increased service requests
Increased location job volume and revenue
Increased customer satisfaction
Higher service ratings

These results, in addition to the best-in-class service experience delivered to every Ace Handyman customer, has cemented Ace as the leader in handyman services, and enabled their explosive growth over the past year. Whether it’s in-store or in your home, the Ace Hardware brand continues to mean quality craftsmanship and superior service.

About Dispatch

Dispatch, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, is the leading provider of software solutions for enterprise service brands that rely on independent service providers.

It’s more than a workout – it provides hope to all participants. I look forward to giving my time and expertise to Rock Steady Boxing to reach even more people.”

Joining Alexander as new board members are Mari Baxter, Chief Operating Officer of Senior Helpers Franchising and Jimmy Choi, Motivational Speaker of the Fox Ninja Group, five-time American Ninja Warrior and Patient Council Board Member of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
