NaturaLawn of America Educates Montgomery County Homeowners Following Passage of the Healthy Lawns Act 52-14

Tatyana Stemkovski2020-02-20T15:25:36-05:00February 20th, 2020|Tags: environmentally-safer services, homeowner services, lawn care franchise system, NaturaLawns, Organic-Based Lawn Care|

The local company is the answer to deliver compliant, natural lawn care to area residents.

FREDERICK, Md. — NaturaLawn of America, Inc. (NaturaLawn), the Leader in Organic-Based Lawn Care^® and provider of Safer Lawn Care Naturally^™, announces its 100% Organic Alternative^® program to area homeowners to ensure their lawns are compliant with the recently-passed Healthy Lawns Act 52-14.

The Healthy Lawns Act 52-14, passed by the Montgomery County Council, makes it illegal to use “cosmetic pesticides,” including synthetic weed, insect, or disease control products in lawn care materials, many of which are widely used by other area service providers to create so-called ‘perfect’ lawns.

Homegrown in Damascus since 1987 and now headquartered in Frederick, MD, NaturaLawn has pioneered the breakthrough into environmentally-responsible lawn care. For more than 30 years, NaturaLawn has been a crusader for healthy, environmental stewardship as opposed to chemical-laden approaches many competitors use. As part of its commitment to educate homeowners, NaturaLawn took a proactive approach over four years ago to develop the only tested and proven solution that would not just comply, but exceed Act 52-14’s requirements.

As the spring season approaches, NaturaLawn is the only local company able to give Montgomery County homeowners a safer, healthier lawn and lasting results that align with recent legislation and environmentally-responsible practices.

“At NaturaLawn, we are passionate about helping Montgomery County homeowners, and also being able to deliver the healthy lawns our customers desire while upholding the highest standards in environmentally-responsible materials,” said Phil Catron, President and Founder of NaturaLawn. “As an organization which originated in Montgomery County, we continue to take an aggressive, proactive approach to revolutionize the lawn care industry, develop the latest in organic, natural solutions, and bring our expertise to our customers.”

About NaturaLawn of America
Headquartered in Frederick, Maryland, NaturaLawn^® of America is a national lawn care franchise system with 91 licenses, and servicing over 100,000 customers in 24 states and the District of Columbia.

Sandler Also Named Top Franchise For Women.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Franchise Business Review (FBR) has named Sandler #1 in the Business Services category for the second year in a row in their ranking of the Top 200 Best Franchises of 2020, which was announced last month. In addition, FBR named Sandler (www.sandler.com) one of the Top 50 Franchises for Women.

Franchise Business Review surveys thousands of franchisees from hundreds of leading brands every year. They then analyze the data from each brand using 33 benchmarking questions; this data creates what FBR calls an overall Franchisee Satisfaction Index. Other contributing factors are the size of the franchise system and the percentage of franchisees that participated in the survey. FBR has surveyed over 1,100 franchise brands, representing tens of thousands of franchisees; this makes their benchmark an extremely powerful tool.

As part of the Franchisee Satisfaction Index, they measure franchisee engagement and satisfaction in eight key areas: Training & Support, Systems & Operations, Executive Leadership, Core Values, Franchisee Community, Self-Evaluation, Financial Opportunity, and General Satisfaction.

Ron Taylor, Vice President, Franchise Development for Sandler says, “This is the second year in a row that we’ve been named #1 in the Business Services category. We are thrilled that our franchisees are so positive about our business and their businesses. We continue to strive to make sure that our franchise network always has new programs and tools, via our strategic alliances, to bring their clients the best training that can be offered.”

The concept of Sway comes from the founders of Spavia Day Spa, Allison and Marty Langenderfer.

Sway’s menu of treatments includes massages, facials, and additional boost options, including sensory add-ons to elevate the guest experience.

Spavia launches 2.0, a new frontier in spa design

Tatyana Stemkovski2020-02-20T14:58:24-05:00February 20th, 2020|Tags: body wraps and scrubs, facials and skin care, spa massages, Spa Services, Spavia Day Spa, waxing|

DENVER — Spavia, a renowned innovator of spa experiences, is reshaping the spa market once again by announcing the launch of Spavia 2.0.

In addition to revamping spa design, music, and scents within current locations, Spavia 2.0 is also proud to announce a total revitalization that is centered on three destination themes: Caribbean (ocean), Aspen (mountain), and Napa (wine country). These three themes will be included in all Spavia franchise locations opening in late 2020. They will provide guests with an immersive, multi-sensory spa experience that transports them to a unique visual destination as soon as they enter the spa.

Allison Langenderfer, founder and president, says, “The moment a guest walks through the door, they begin a visual journey surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of an iconic destination.” The scents, specifically, will be customized to the season in which guests visit Spavia, further enhancing the guest journey. Langenderfer continues with, “Each of the sensory experiences applied to a theme has been curated to ensure continuous delivery of the exceptional Spavia experience.”

Spavia’s goal is to have the right balance of design and technology in order to elevate a guest’s multisensory journey. Music will be leveraged as an instrumental component to the Spavia 2.0 launch, as playlists will be optimized to sync well with the smells and visuals used in a destination theme.

“Each guest experience at Spavia is a journey,” says Langenderfer. “Our goal at Spavia is to provide each guest with the opportunity to relax the mind, recenter the body, and renew the soul. Spavia was founded on connecting community, human connection and making a difference with each and every guest.” With these fundamental changes to the design and the guest experience, Spavia 2.0 makes every guest interaction a moment to remember.

About Spavia

At Spavia, we deliver a luxurious spa experience at an affordable price. Our Spavia locations provide a variety of massages, skin care, body wraps, waxing, lash extensions, and make-up, and an opportunity to celebrate with a spalebration™ – all in a relaxing and tranquil setting. Our spa boutique provides products for home-care regimens and beautiful selections for gift giving.

The first Spavia opened in 2005 in Denver, CO, with a mission of making a positive difference in the world, one guest at a time. In late 2019, Spavia opened its 45th location, with an additional 45 locations under development. The 45 spas that are currently open exist in 21 states.

Phil and Cindy: Bringing Home the Bacon

Tatyana Stemkovski2020-02-20T14:51:57-05:00February 20th, 2020|Tags: FASTSIGNS International Inc., FASTSIGNS® sign and graphic centers, sign and graphic solutions, sign and visual communication franchise|

Chattanooga Franchisees Receive Highest Honor in the FASTSIGNS System.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Cindy and Phil Bacon, franchisees at FASTSIGNS® of Chattanooga received national recognition as the recipients of The FASTSIGNS® Award at the 2020 FASTSIGNS International Convention held in Phoenix, Arizona.

This award is the most prestigious recognition in the franchise network of over 725 locations in nine countries worldwide. It is presented to the franchisees who best represent the FASTSIGNS brand in their community and in the network, as they provide exceptional customer service, mentorship, company culture and employee development.

“We are honored to be named the recipients of the FASTSIGNS Award, because we know the high level of franchisees who have won this,” said Phil Bacon. “We are so thankful to be a part of such a supportive network like FASTSIGNS and see the growth that comes from investing in an incredible brand like FASTSIGNS.”

Hailing from their home tucked in the hills of Tennessee, Phil Bacon, a native Tennessean, along with his wife, Cindy, opened their Chattanooga-based FASTSIGNS center in mid-July 1990. The Bacons have replicated the FASTSIGNS model and have risen through the network ranks, establishing a name for themselves among their peers. Notably, this was not their first opportunity to rise to the top of a franchise network.

Prior to FASTSIGNS, Phil and CIndy joined a family business with Phil’s entrepreneurial parents, helping them manage two diet franchise locations. Phil and Cindy managed and grew the two locations to number one and two in the nation during the years of 1987, 1988 and 1989 as they supported customers in achieving their weight loss goals.

“Phil’s parents taught us so much about business,” said Cindy Bacon, franchisee at FASTSIGNS of Chattanooga. “Much of how we manage our own business today came from watching and listening to them, because they were awesome business franchise owners.”

Today, the Bacons have grown their highly successful FASTSIGNS center and now have over 25 loyal team members. They attend every FASTSIGNS event, often bringing their team members with them. The Bacons have created a culture of mutual respect at FASTSIGNS of Chattanooga. With many tenured team members, the Bacons show that they value each and every person on both a professional and personal level. Their authenticity and genuine concern for their team has been witnessed many times over. For example, when one team member could not afford needed medical treatment, they paid for it on their own.

Even at their high level of performance, the two remain actively engaged in their business and with the corporate team, placing strong value on the support they receive, reaching out on a daily basis for questions, advice and insight.

These savvy entrepreneurs go a step beyond by giving back into the network they have joined.
