2021-03-23T10:01:37-04:00March 23rd, 2021|Tags: , , , , , |

Brand is One of the Fastest-Growing and Largest in Boutique Yoga Space after Just Two Years of Franchising.

IRVINE, Calif. — The world needs the restorative mind-body benefits of yoga now more than ever, and YogaSix is ready to meet that demand. The fast-growing boutique yoga brand backed by Xponential Fitness announced today it has opened its 100th studio overall and surpassed over 500 signed franchise agreements. Even during a challenging year, YogaSix continues to prove its value to consumers, evidenced by growth with 56 new studios opened since the beginning of 2020 and the onboarding of dozens of new franchisees to continue that momentum.

The recently signed franchise agreements will bring YogaSix to a variety of new markets including Houston, Nashville, Las Vegas, Seattle, and Miami. The company also opened its first studio in Saudi Arabia this past year, with more studios to open in Germany and Austria over the next few years.

The 100th studio is owned by Jarrid & Krissy Danburg and marks their first of three studios in the Pittsburgh area.

The Danburgs reside in McMurray, PA and are the parents to 3 amazing kids. They have been practicing yoga for over a decade and always had an interest in building a business together.

“While yoga has always been popular, the pandemic and other challenges brought on by 2020 have certainly exacerbated the demand for YogaSix’s inclusive and modern take on the practice,” said Lindsay Junk, President of YogaSix. “It has been exciting and extremely rewarding to see our franchise partners get creative in the face of adversity over the past year, encouraging several new entrepreneurs to join the YogaSix family and continue our yoga revival around the world.”

With world-class instruction, YogaSix offers diverse yoga and fitness programming that includes movement and intensity to help customers achieve their fitness goals.

Anago Cleaning Systems Honors Nationwide Franchise Partners

2021-03-22T10:55:41-04:00March 22nd, 2021|Tags: , , , |

Commercial Cleaning Leader Holds Virtual Awards Program Recognizing Excellence Through Difficult Times.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. — Anago Cleaning Systems is pleased to share the results from its annual industry awards program held virtually as the company continues to abide by safety regulations due to the global pandemic. The award ceremony recognized franchise leaders in several categories including the coveted Master Franchise City of Year award.

As one of the leading commercial cleaning franchise operations in the nation, Anago Cleaning System admits it learned more than its share of new disinfection and sanitation policies, the importance of PPE (personal protective equipment), and responsibility of being considered among the frontline working class.

“The importance and value of commercial cleaning has been re-defined due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Adam Povlitz, CEO & President, Anago Cleaning Systems. “Aside from what we learned as an industry, we also experienced the power and passion of people from all walks of life and backgrounds uniting together to serve the communities where we live, send our kids to school, and care for our elders and neighbors. I am extremely proud of the entire Anago family for coming together and make the best out of a very difficult period in human history.”

To rise to the COVID-19 challenge, while mindful of creating the safest procedural requirements as possible, Anago quickly pivoted and launched a brand-new specialized cleaning service, Protection+ Disinfection™, which was developed with recommendations provided by the Centers for Disease Control, Environmental Protection Agency, and Health Canada. This new program was welcomed by franchise owners and customers and made the difference in the survival of many local businesses.

And the Award Goes To (drumroll please)

At Anago, new franchise ownership pre-COVID was nearing record-breaking numbers. Once the pandemic took hold, those numbers increased even more as entrepreneurs looked for resilient business opportunities to safeguard against unpredictable economic times. Having posted record numbers during the Great Recession of 2007-08 and the H1N1 Virus of 2009, commercial cleaning earned its place among the nation’s top business industries that experienced an increase of sales, service and business ownership. The COVID-19 pandemic has produced even stronger results.

  • Master Franchise of the Year award goes to Andrew Navarro, Anago of Greater Philadelphia.
  • Highest Percentage of Growth goes to Dru Dulaney, Anago of Hampton Roads.
  • Client Sales of the Year award goes to Corey Albertson, Anago of Greater Cincinnati, Columbus & Dayton.
  • Franchise Sales of the Year award goes to Andrew Navarro, Anago of Greater Philadelphia.

Anago Cleaning Systems is consistently recognized as a leader within the commercial cleaning industry and is continually listed within Entrepreneur Magazine’s suite of ranking systems. Most recently, Anago earned #33 on Entrepreneur‘s Franchise 500 list and #14 fastest growing franchise. Anago Cleaning Systems’ position on the ranking demonstrates the brand’s resilience during challenging economic times and rising popularity with franchisees and customers.

Anago Cleaning Systems is a pioneer of the master franchise system, which allows successful mid-career professionals to operate their own exclusive regional franchises, while allowing small businesses to invest in their success.  Both levels simply focus on running their business while Anago Cleaning Systems provides assistance, guidance, and critical tools to grow.

About Anago Cleaning Systems

Anago Cleaning Systems is an international commercial cleaning franchise brand. Utilizing the Master Franchise System, Anago supports over 45 Master Franchisees and over 1,700 Unit Franchisees.  Founded in 1989, Anago has set the worldwide standard in business support and structure for local and regional companies to provide unparalleled cleaning services to businesses of all kinds.

Oxi Fresh Plans Expansion in Boston

2021-03-22T10:23:05-04:00March 22nd, 2021|Tags: , , , |

Leading carpet cleaning franchise has sights set on Massachusetts.

LAKEWOOD, Colo. — Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning, one of the nation’s greenest and fastest-growing carpet cleaning franchises, looks to expand the brand in Boston and surrounding communities. Oxi Fresh plans to be operating in cities including Quincy, Newton, Medford, and more.

“We have 10 exceptional carpet cleaning franchise territories available in Boston and neighboring areas,” said Matt Kline, Director of Franchise of Development. “We’d love to see those territories in the hands of qualified, talented entrepreneurs within the next 12 months.”

With nearly 450 locations in the U.S. and Canada, having available territories in the Greater Boston area is a unique opportunity for people that want to own their own business with an industry-leading carpet cleaning franchise company. Brand expansion in the metro area would coincide nicely with the city’s expected growth of 15-17 percent by 2030. New Oxi Fresh locations could bring jobs, innovation, and an eco-friendly carpet cleaning process to eastern Massachusetts.

The carpet cleaning franchise has, since first opening in 2006, stood out in its industry due to its green process which doesn’t rely on carpet saturation like a steam cleaner. Oxi Fresh requires around 95% less water than more traditional cleaning methods. Oxi Fresh can achieve quality results while using less water due to the company’s suite of green carpet cleaning solutions and powerful equipment.

“Our green concept is powerful,” said Mr. Kline. “We’ve created a revolutionary cleaning system that combines the best equipment with the highest quality products. Through our extensive network of franchise owners, customers get effective cleanings that are safe for kids, pets, and the planet as a whole. Plus, Oxi Fresh has a lot to offer first-time and multi-unit franchise owners in terms of systems and support.”

2020 saw the carpet cleaning franchise brand’s strongest week in terms of the number of appointments booked. Despite the pandemic, the company also regularly had higher numbers of appointments booked per week in the second half of 2020 when compared to the second half of 2019. This increased demand exemplifies the brand’s excellent position for even further expansion in 2021.

Promoting this growth is Oxi Fresh’s advanced support system, including its centralized Scheduling Center and innovative marketing programs. These tools provide Oxi Fresh’s carpet cleaning franchisees the opportunity to focus on business development rather than mere daily tasks.

“With almost 450 locations open throughout the United States and Canada, we want to keep pushing forward to continue our mission of providing communities with access to high quality, eco-friendly carpet cleaning services,” said Founder and CEO, Jonathan Barnett. “We are eager to surpass the 500 unit mark in 2021 and further strengthen our presence.”

About Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning® 

Through innovative products and modern technology, Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning offers green carpet cleaning and exceptional results through a unique, low-moisture process. The company’s powerful combination of knowledgeable people, innovative technology, and strong processes has landed the brand in Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500, ranked in Inc. magazine’s Inc. 500|5000, and saw them named as one of “America’s Best Franchises to Buy,” by Forbes magazine. Oxi Fresh has nearly 450 locations throughout the United States and Canada with more locations currently in development. For more information, visit oxifresh.com.

National Survey by Senior Helpers Suggests Seniors are Thriving and Ready to Return to Normalcy After a Year in Quarantine

2021-03-18T11:01:40-04:00March 18th, 2021|Tags: , , , , , , , , |

Findings Show the 65+ Population Feels More Self-Sufficient, Has Embraced New Hobbies and Is More Comfortable Using Technology, Compared to One Year Ago.

BALTIMORE — One year into the COVID-19 pandemic, Senior Helpers®, the nation’s premier provider of in-home senior care, released findings of its Seniors: One Year in Quarantine survey, which explores attitudes and behaviors of adults aged 65+ since March 2020, along with their feelings toward the future. Surprisingly, a majority of seniors (72%) reported they feel safer and more comfortable seeing friends and family now, even without having been vaccinated themselves. At the time of this release, more than half of seniors reported they still hadn’t received the vaccine. But after a year of social distancing and quarantining, 88% of respondents also consider themselves just as, if not more, self-sufficient when compared to pre-pandemic times. While the senior population has been one of the most vulnerable groups during the pandemic, Senior Helpers’ study found that most older adults have been able to find the silver lining amid a tough situation.

“In light of the pandemic, it could be far too easy to only view seniors as fragile and vulnerable; however, this survey proved that our elders are quite the opposite — with a majority of seniors having learned new hobbies and becoming more comfortable with technology like Zoom, FaceTime and telemedicine,” said Peter Ross, Senior Helpers CEO. “Seniors are the backbone of society and it’s gratifying to learn that, for many, their physical, mental and emotional health has been maintained and even strengthened during these trying times.”

According to the survey, today, seniors have an appetite for adventure — 71% of respondents reported that they have NOT traveled in the last year but 60% plan to do so in the year ahead. They also say they have embraced and adopted new pastimes during COVID, including baking, watching TV and playing online games.

Other interesting findings include:

  • 45% of seniors have utilized telehealth/telemedicine over the past year
  • 53% of seniors said they have made peace with the current COVID situation
  • 65% of seniors surveyed believe people are kinder or just as kind since before the pandemic hit a year ago

Social distancing had negative impacts, according to survey findings. In fact, 60% of senior respondents admit to feeling less connected with family and friends since the start of the pandemic. While nearly 40% of seniors saw their families five times or more during the course of the past year, approximately 64% say their visits were still considerably less than pre-pandemic times. This may be the cause of 42% of seniors experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety, isolation or other mental health concerns over the past year.

For seniors who are coping with social isolation, Ross explains care companions are a great solution to provide seniors with the social support they need to age in place more happily, safely and comfortably. Beyond professional in-home care, Senior Helpers strives to help maintain seniors’ wellbeing, prevent feelings of depression and bring more fun to their lives.

Ross continued, “At Senior Helpers, we strive to provide a better quality of life for our elderly clients and their families, no matter the circumstances. We always try to find the bright side and our caregivers look to create moments of joy in any situation.”

Riding Momentum of Robust 2020 Sales, Chem-Dry Aims to Add 75 Franchises to Flourishing Network by End of Year

2021-03-17T13:36:42-04:00March 17th, 2021|Tags: , , , , , |

Market Leader Anticipates Continued Strong Demand as Cleaning & Restoration Industry is Named Hot Franchise Category for 2021.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — As the safety of homes and workplaces remains a top priority amid the pandemic, demand for property cleaning and restoration continues to surge, as evidenced by Entrepreneur Magazine naming the industry one of the hottest franchise categories in 2021. Industry leader Chem-Dry has experienced this demand first-hand as the brand enjoys its 33rd consecutive year as the number one-ranked carpet cleaning franchise by the magazine. With some franchise owners reporting double digit increases in consumer leads year-over-year, the growing demand led the brand to close out a very successful 2020 – which included signing over 80 franchises – positioning the market leader for another strong year.

Chem-Dry, the Healthy Home Authority®, currently serves more than 11,000 homes and businesses each day across 55 countries. Over the next 12 months, the 44-year-old brand aims to further increase its North American coverage by adding 75 franchises across the U.S. and Canada and expand its global footprint by signing four more international master franchises. Chem-Dry has already seen its domestic and international sales momentum from 2020 carry into the first quarter of the new year.

Known for making homes and workplaces cleaner, healthier and safer for decades, Chem-Dry remains committed to innovation, and even rolled out new products and services amid the pandemic, including the launch of its MicroPro Shield™ Service. This new service first disinfects hard surfaces and sanitizes soft surfaces using a hospital-grade disinfectant that is approved by the EPA for use against SARS-CoV-2 (the cause of COVID-19). Then, the Chem-Dry technician applies a protective antimicrobial coating that kills odor and stain-causing bacteria and algae on contact for up to 90 days.

“Being able to serve and protect our customers amid the pandemic and give them greater peace of mind has been very meaningful and rewarding for our franchisees,” said Ed Quinlan, President of Chem-Dry, part of the BELFOR Franchise Group family of brands. “Our teams continue to work tirelessly to keep our brand and our franchisees ahead of the curve in providing high-quality services that deliver on our commitment to making spaces cleaner and healthier. While the last 12 months have been challenging, they’ve also allowed us to showcase our innovation and solidify our position as the Healthy Home Authority®. And we look forward to another year of growth as we help even more home and business owners across the country stay safe and healthy.” 

Chem-Dry creates cleaner, healthier indoor environments with its proprietary equipment and solutions for carpet, upholstery, granite countertops and hard floor surfaces, such as wood, tile and laminates. In further testing of its processes, a study conducted by a leading independent laboratory concluded that the Chem-Dry Hot Carbonating Extraction cleaning method removes an average of 98% of common household allergens from carpets and upholstery and an average of 89% of airborne bacteria when combined with a sanitizer, helping to improve indoor air quality. Chem-Dry has a national partnership with the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA), working to raise awareness and provide education on the importance of indoor air quality in maintaining the health and safety of homes and businesses.

Since its launch in 1977, Chem-Dry has become the recognized market leader by building a robust network of 1,800 franchises across the country. To meet the growing demand for its innovative services, the company is actively seeking community-minded entrepreneurs to join the mission of delivering safer, healthier spaces across the U.S. With territories available in prime markets nationwide, Chem-Dry is an industry-leading brand in a large and growing category, that offers its franchise network world-class training and support.

2021-03-17T13:16:13-04:00March 17th, 2021|Tags: , , , , , , , , |

For consumers, HomeOne takes out the frustration in finding trustworthy home services. HomeOne is a one-stop shop that allows homeowners and small business owners to take care of all their home improvement needs, from the leaky pipe project in the bathroom to the commercial exterior painting needs for businesses, without wasting time and stress finding and vetting separate contractors and businesses. HomeOne allows homeowners to tap into the trusted network of Premium Service Brands and guarantees them the same professional work and customer service no matter what service they need.

HomeOne will play a key role in Premium Service Brands’ growth strategy — every brand acquisition the company has made in recent years was strategically designed to complement the existing multi-brand roster and serve the same target customer demographic in the home services industry.

As more people stay at home and prioritize renovation projects due to the COVID-19 pandemic, that home services industry is more in-demand than ever. According to a report completed by Home Advisor, home services represent a $506 billion-dollar market in the United States. Fueled by the momentum of this growing demand, PSB sold 75 territories across North America in 2020, and the system’s year-over-year sales were up 35%.

Moving forward, the combination of the Own the Home Program and HomeOne will allow franchise owners to build and leverage relationships within a single market and ensure that customers’ ongoing home-services needs are always met.
