Jabz Boxing Signs Agreement to Open Second Philadelphia Studio

2019-06-04T15:04:43-04:00June 4th, 2019|Tags: , , , |

New Women’s Fitness Studio Coming to Havertown

HAVERTOWN, Pa. – Jabz Boxing fitness for women franchise announced today that it has inked an agreement for a new location in Havertown, Pennsylvania. Jabz is known for its full-body, circuit-style workout that utilizes boxing inspired exercises designed specifically for women.

The Havertown signed agreement comes upon the heels of a recent opening in Ridley Park, as the fitness concept continues to expand its presence across the Philly metro area. The new location, slated to open later this year, will offer different daily workouts designed for women of all fitness levels.

“I’ve been watching Jabz grow for years, so the brand was already on my radar when the Ridley Park studio opened. After trying my first class there, the atmosphere and energy of the experience captured my interest in opening my own studio,” said Shannon Crowley, owner of the new Havertown studio. “As the buzz around the studio continued to grow, so did its popularity among locals and I realized this was a business opportunity that I was destined to pursue. I can’t wait to share the unique fitness experience and help build an empowering environment for local women. So far, the news about Jabz coming to Havertown has been well-received and I’ve already had a chance to connect with several women who are eager to join the future Jabz community in Havertown.”

Committed to cultivating a fitness community of empowerment for women, Jabz Boxing offers intense, boxing-inspired full-body workouts to help clients achieve their fitness goals. The results-driven workouts and a strong sense of community resonate with women of all ages and fitness levels. Jabz classes are kept small to encourage an individual and positive workout experience. All classes are led by dedicated, certified instructors who offer one-on-one support for all members.

“We are excited to be expanding into Havertownand Shannon is the perfect person to lead the charge,” said Kimberlee White, CEO and co-founder of Jabz Boxing. “We have no doubt in herability to support and inspire members and spread the Jabz message with Havertown women.”

Since beginning franchising in 2013, Jabz Boxing grew to over 20 Arizona locations before deciding to expand nationally in 2019. Since the start of the year they have opened locations in Voorhees, New Jersey and Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. Jabz Boxing plans to increase its nationwide footprint by entering key markets such as Denver, Dallas/Fort Worth and Las Vegas, where it will provide women with an empowering community and energetic workout experience.

As the fitness studio concept continues to rapidly expand into key markets across the United States, Jabz Boxing is actively seeking qualified franchisees who are passionate about fitness and entrepreneurship to join its system and bring the Jabz culture of female empowerment to their local communities.

Assisted Living Locators Named a 2019 Top Low-Cost Franchise by Franchise Business Review

2019-06-04T11:48:06-04:00June 4th, 2019|Tags: , , , , , , |

Independent Research Data Shows Franchisees Are Highly Satisfied with Their Investment in Assisted Living Locators

PHOENIX — Assisted Living Locators, a leading senior placement franchisor, was identified by independent franchisee satisfaction research firm, Franchise Business Review, as being only a few of the franchises to qualify for its 2019 Top Low-Cost Franchises list. Brands on the list had to have high franchisee satisfaction and an investment of under $100,000 at the time their franchisees participated in Franchise Business Review’s survey.

Franchise Business Review (FBR) provides the only rankings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. FBR publishes its rankings of top franchises in its annual “Guide to Today’s Top Franchises,” as well as in quarterly reports throughout the year that rank the top franchises in specific sectors.

Thousands of franchisees representing over 150 low-cost brands participated in Franchise Business Review’s franchisee satisfaction survey between September 2017 and February 2019.

Assisted Living Locators franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including training & support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, and financial opportunity.

“A common myth around buying a franchise is that it’s too expensive. What most people don’t realize is that there are many low-cost opportunities available that can provide the satisfaction of business ownership, without requiring a huge financial investment,” says Michelle Rowan, president & COO of Franchise Business Review. “The low-cost franchises that made this year’s list have all been rated highly by their franchisees and are excellent options for entrepreneurs considering franchise ownership.”

“Assisted Living Locators is an affordable franchise opportunity that provides comprehensive training and technology processes to help franchisees be successful,” said Angela Olea, RN, CEO of Assisted Living Locators. “It’s an honor to be named to this elite list as a result of franchisee feedback.”

About Assisted Living Locators

Venture X to Bring Locations to UK and Ireland; Continues to Meet International Growth Goals

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Venture X®, a global shared workspace franchise, announced today the company has signed a Master License Partnership to bring the brand to the United Kingdom and Ireland.

This expansion will be led by partners Andrew Ross and Tom Foster.

“We are extremely excited to be working with Andrew and Tom to bring Venture X to the UK and Ireland,” said Venture X President, Jason Anderson. “As we seek new international markets for expansion, these markets were a perfect choice, as they are already familiar with the benefits of flexible workspaces, and eager for more options.

Foster and Ross have over 25 years real estate and hospitality experience between them. Together they have built successful hotel, commercial development, student housing and healthcare real estate platforms and are now focused on bringing Venture X to the major business hubs of the UK and Ireland, continuing the impressive trajectory of the brand’s growth globally.

“As Andrew and I began to explore various business opportunities, we were continually being drawn in by flexible workspaces and the value they bring to the modern professional,” said Foster. “We chose Venture X because of the inspiring environment and premium amenities it provides for clients and feel confident the UK and Ireland will respond well to Venture X’s style,” added Ross.

Venture X’s membership-based model has seen rapid growth since its start in 2012, moving even faster in recent years through the power of franchising. With more than 80 signed locations in 25 countries, and a goal to open 21 locations by the end of Q2 2019 alone, Venture X is primed to continue rapid expansion in both the United States and abroad.

Many Venture X franchisees have backgrounds in real estate, finance, hotels or have experience as landlords. Currently the franchisor is seeking single-unit operators, with multi-unit development offered in the future. The brand’s initial franchise fee is $79,500 with a total investment cost ranging from $1.1M–$3.4M.

Staffing Industry Leader NEXTAFF Opens First Location in Oregon

2019-06-03T15:17:49-04:00June 3rd, 2019|Tags: , , , , , |

Military veteran plans to utilize operations and IT experience as he brings national recruiting firm into Pacific Northwest market

BEAVERTON, Ore. — NEXTAFF, an industry leader in identifying quality talent for businesses, opened a staffing agency location today in Beaverton, Oregon, which is the first location in the state.

Owned and operated by Alvin Montances, the office will serve Beaverton, Portland and the surrounding Washington County area and offer staffing solutions to businesses in the information technology industry. Montances is a U.S. military veteran with 20 years of IT experience, including time spent as a senior network engineer providing engineering, sustainment and integration solutions to various Department of Defense entities.

“I’ve been on both sides of an interview, and I understand how important it is to identify the right talent for a position,” Montances said. “The beauty of the NEXTAFF system is that it offers a unique advantage to both the candidate and the company seeking to fill a position because our methodology ensures the best possible fit for all involved. Staffing firms are a dime a dozen, but NEXTAFF has a proven track record of finding the best talent possible.”

NEXTAFF offers a proprietary recruiting method called X-FACTOR™, which combines hiring methodologies that are statistically proven to outperform what typical staffing agency competitors and HR departments traditionally do. This methodology, combined with a robust back-office support structure, allows a staffing franchise office many distinct advantages over someone looking to start their own staffing agency.

“Alvin has a long history with the IT field, which gives him a deeper appreciation and understanding of what’s happening in the industry,” said Cary Daniel, co-founder and director at NEXTAFF. “His experience, combined with the NEXTAFF methodology, offers a powerful combination for meeting the staffing needs of the Beaverton area.”

The office will be located at 4800 SW Griffith Drive, Suite 102, in Beaverton. More information can be found at https://www.nextaff.com/locations/beaverton-or/.

“Over the last two decades, I’ve had some great experiences in IT,” Montances said. “I’ve also had some experiences that were absolute nightmares. All of these moments made me who I am today, though, and I’m going to use them to help each and every person that walks in the door. Working with NEXTAFF is giving me the opportunity to change lives, and I can’t wait to get started.”

About NEXTAFF

NEXTAFF helps companies identify, evaluate and acquire quality talent through our proprietary X-FACTOR™ model. Our comprehensive approach is designed to outperform a typical temp agency supplier model by up to 100 percent. Each temporary staffing office is locally owned and operated, which allows our clients to work directly with owners in hiring quality talent. As the franchise division of Malone Workforce Solutions, NEXTAFF offers a variety of custom solutions to industrial, administrative, professional, information technology and healthcare industries. NEXTAFF’s goal is to enable clients to concentrate on their core business activities while we identify, evaluate and acquire quality talent.

Keyrenter Washington DC Adds Rental Licensing to a Seamless Property Management Process

2019-05-30T11:10:45-04:00May 30th, 2019|Tags: , , , , |

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Military veteran Ryan Davis was living his dream as an Army helicopter pilot when a series of unfortunate events changed his life. Ryan calls the experience “a hard landing.”  After countless hours of physical therapy, he realized that a long-term military career was no longer an option. “It wasn’t the accident or injury that scared me,” said Ryan. “Not knowing how I would feed my family–now that’s scary.”

Beyond his military experience, impressive core values, and a natural propensity to serve others, the skillset Ryan acquired in his youth was pretty much limited to building construction. Ryan is proud of his handyman ability but that alone wasn’t enough for him. With the help of a career coach, he found the perfect fit in Keyrenter Property Management and made the leap into entrepreneurship.

After achieving his real estate and franchise licenses, Ryan opened Keyrenter Alexandria where he specializes in residential property management of single family homes and small multi-family properties. With Alexandria being home to the Pentagon and Fort Belvoir, many of his clients are military service members who are also property investors or former do-it-yourself landlords. Ryan speaks their language and understands the SCRA (The Servicemember Civil Relief Act). That’s important with the high population of military and DOD families in the area. When they get orders to move, knowing the ropes helps Ryan turn properties quickly and reduce vacancies; something every landlord appreciates.

You’ll find nothing but 5-star reviews for Keyrenter Alexandria Property Management. That’s just one differentiator that sets Ryan apart from his competitors. Others include:

  • One Point of Contact
  • Video Tour Marketing
  • Premium Advertising
  • Secure Property Showings
  • Enhanced Tenant Screening
  • Routine Inspections
  • Videos of Move-In and Move-Out Inspections
  • Drive-By Property Checks
  • Timely Rent Payments

Carving out a piece of the property management market is tough with all the competition in the area but Ryan’s not worried. He has something his competitors don’t. Ryan’s family is his Why. When you combine that with Keyrenter’s training and support, you have a winning recipe for success.

To learn how Ryan can provide a stress-free landlord experience visit Keyrenter Alexandria Property Management.

Keyrenter’s full range of services include:

  • Assist Owners and Investors with Leasing Services
  • Assist Owners and Investors with Buying and Selling Properties
  • Rental Market Analysis
  • Rental Licensing, DCRA Inspections, RAD registration

FASTSIGNS® Recruiting Franchise Candidates At International Franchise Expo In New York City May 30 – June 1

2019-05-29T12:45:50-04:00May 29th, 2019|Tags: , , , , , |

Award-winning Franchisor Expanding into Urban Areas throughout the Northeast and Seeking Master Franchisees for Québec and Other International Markets

CARROLLTON, Texas — FASTSIGNS International, Inc., franchisor of FASTSIGNS®, the leading sign, graphics and visual communications franchise, announced today that it will be attending and sponsoring the International Franchise Expo from May 30 – June 1 at The Javits Center in New York City. FASTSIGNS CEO Catherine Monson will speak at the event and share insights gained during her more than 30 years in franchising.

FASTSIGNS is recruiting franchisees globally, with a focus on urban markets throughout the Northeastern United States — including New York City, Long Island, Boston, Providence, and Portland — as well as finding master franchisees for Québec, Europe, Latin America, and other international markets. In 2018, the company celebrated the opening of its first location in Chile, and in April celebrated the opening of four additional centers in Santiago, Chile.

“As the demand for comprehensive signage and visual communications solutions soars, FASTSIGNS is growing at an unprecedented pace,” said Mark Jameson, Executive Vice President of Franchise Support and Development. “We’re looking forward to attending the International Franchise Expo and connecting with entrepreneurs excited about the opportunity to grow with the top-ranked franchisor in the segment.”

Entrepreneurs are encouraged to meet Catherine Monson, CEO of FASTSIGNS International, Inc., and the brand’s franchise development team at booth #214 to learn more about the benefits of being a franchisee. At the booth, FASTSIGNS will be showcasing digital technology, including a kiosk featuring the 1HUDDLE workforce-training platform. Additionally, during the three-day event, Monson will speak on a panel alongside other franchise experts on Thursday, May 30 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. to discuss some of the most common business and legal problems affecting international franchising. On Saturday, June 1 from 12:30 -1:30 p.m., Monson will join FASTSIGNS franchisee Denise Acquaye, of Newark, New Jersey, to share how they work together to achieve a balance between the franchisor and franchisee in order to create a successful brand and position FASTSIGNS as one of the top-ranked franchisors for franchisee satisfaction for over 10 years.

“After 40 combined years in corporate America, my husband and I wanted to follow our hearts and become entrepreneurs. We knew franchising was the right path because it would provide us with a proven business model to be successful,” said Acquaye, who owns and operates a FASTSIGNS location in downtown Newark. “We looked at a lot of different concepts, from fast food to retail, but we picked FASTSIGNS because of its strong commitment to supporting franchisees. Without any company-owned centers, FASTSIGNS’ success is entirely driven by its franchisees — so the corporate team allocates an enormous amount of resources to support.”

FASTSIGNS is known in the industry for equipping its franchisees with tools vital to securing the ongoing success of each individual location. In 2018, FASTSIGNS announced the launch of a special incentive for first responders, including paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers, sheriffs, and firefighters, which includes a 50-percent reduction on the franchise fee — a savings of $24,875.

For any existing business looking to expand into this fast-paced market, FASTSIGNS also offers co-brand and conversion programs to help owners diversify their product lines and services to meet the growing demand for comprehensive signage and visual communications solutions. FASTSIGNS has helped countless owners of print shops, photography studios, camera stores, embroidery shops, and more, add a FASTSIGNS to their existing business or fully convert their store to a FASTSIGNS franchise. FASTSIGNS franchisees receive ongoing training and support to stay ahead of the competition and exceed the needs of their local business community. Both the co-brand franchise opportunity and conversion can be started with only $15,000 down on the initial franchise fee.

FASTSIGNS International, Inc. was ranked the #1 franchise opportunity in its category and 95 overall on Entrepreneur magazine’s 2019 Franchise 500®, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Acknowledged by entrepreneurs and franchisors as a top competitive tool of measurement, the Franchise 500® recognizes FASTSIGNS, the only sign, graphics, and visual communications franchise to be recognized in the top 100, for its exceptional performance in areas including financial strength and stability, growth rate, and brand power. FASTSIGNS also made Franchise Direct‘s list of the Top 100 Franchises 2019 and ranked #2 on this year’s Franchise Gator Top 100 list, both ranking the best franchises for 2019. FASTSIGNS has also been ranked by Franchise Business Review as one of the “Best of the Best” for franchisee satisfaction for the last 10 years. Additionally, FASTSIGNS was also named to Franchise Business Review’s “Innovative Franchises” list in 2017 and a “Best-in-Category” franchise by Franchise Business Review in 2018. In 2019, the Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) awarded FASTSIGNS International, Inc. the Franchisees’ Choice Designation for the seventh consecutive year for its strong relationship with Canadian franchisees, as well as extensive franchisee training and support.

Local Entrepreneurs Now Providing Award-Winning Senior Care Services to Northampton and Lehigh Counties

ROSEVILLE, Calif. — Always Best Care Senior Services, one of the leading senior care franchise systems in the United States, announced today that Ken and Rebecca Good are the new owners of the Greater Bethlehem franchise. Always Best Care of Greater Bethlehem has been serving Northampton and Lehigh Counties since 2012. The agency is one of seven Always Best Care agencies across Pennsylvania and provides senior care services to several communities including Bethlehem, Allentown, Easton and surrounding areas.

“Always Best Care has been serving families across Northampton and Lehigh Counties for a number of years. We are thrilled to continue to build on our relationships with local professionals in the senior care sector and look forward to providing outstanding care to those who need it most,” said Jake Brown, President and CEO of Always Best Care. “Ken and Rebecca have passion for our brand and their values align with our mission. We know their familiarity with the local community coupled with their expertise in business management will help them become successful in servicing our clients in the Greater Bethlehem and surrounding communities.”

Both Ken and Rebecca bring more than 25 years of business experience, including leading and owning successful small businesses in the information technology and music education industries. As residents of Langhorne, Pennsylvania for nearly two decades, the husband-and-wife team have built strong relationships within the local community that will prove valuable to their newest business venture.

“Rebecca and I both have aging parents that either receive in-home care or utilize programs geared towards helping seniors in need of assistance, so we’re very familiar with the challenges clients face when searching for the right senior care program,” said Ken. “Residents living throughout our local community have historically found it very difficult to obtain assistance at home. Always Best Care is known for its exceptional in-home care and our goal is to continue that level of care in this community, so our seniors can remain safely in their own homes, and age in place with dignity.”

Always Best Care is one of the nation’s leading providers of non-medical in-home care, assisted living placement services and skilled home health care, and is the only senior services franchise system that combines the three to create three separate revenue streams for its franchisees.

International Hair Salon Executives to Meet Face-to-Face with Aspiring Entrepreneurs to Fuel Nationwide Growth

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Nikita Hair, one of Europe’s leading salon chains, announced today it is gearing up for expansion by exhibiting at this year’s International Franchise Expo (IFE). Brand executives will head to the Big Apple to meet face-to-face with prospective franchise candidates at the world’s largest franchising event at the Javits Center from May 30 – June 1.

Entrepreneurs are encouraged to meet Nikita Hair brand executives and staff at the show at booth #1124 to immerse themselves in the brand and learn first-hand from the brand’s founder, Inger Ellen Nicolaisen, about Nikita’s winning culture and lucrative franchise model.

Nikita Hair, an internationally successful hair salon with 34+ years in business with more than 150 salons and 1,000 employees, is gearing up to open its first salon in Ohio during Q4 of this year as well as expanding its Florida presence with the opening of its West Boca salon in Boca Raton Q1 2020. The brand is now gearing up for continued rapid U.S. growth. With ample opportunities for development and growth in nearly every market, Nikita Hair welcomes all franchisees to explore the Nikita Hair franchise opportunity at this year’s expo.

“The $62 billion-dollar beauty industry is at an all-time high with consumer trends largely focusing on self-care and self-improvement,” said Inger Ellen Nicolaisen, Founder of Nikita Hair. “At Nikita Hair, we foresee limitless growth potential within the industry and are thrilled at the opportunity to meet with aspiring entrepreneurs to share our unique, lucrative franchise model and help them to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves with the support of our experienced leadership team and sound business model.”

At the show, Nikita Hair Creative Team Stylist, Karen Bessesen, from the Norwegian Design Team will be on-site demonstrating live hair styling so attendees can see the premium styles and services in action. All franchise prospects who sign a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) with Nikita Hair by 12/31/19 will receive a trip to Norway, where the brand is headquartered, to experience the brand’s roots first-hand. Those with genuine interest in the franchise opportunity will also receive complimentary samples from the brand’s exclusive line of hair and skin care products, Eleni and Chris, made with the purest ingredients sourced from Scandinavia.

Nikita Hair is currently seeking inspired franchise partners with management experience, communication skills, and a positive, enthusiastic attitude. The company would like to work with driven individuals to expand the brand through single and multi-unit franchise agreements. Prior experience in the hair salon industry is not a requirement. As the brand continues U.S. franchise expansion plans, it aims to have 130 salons open and operating by 2022.
