FASTSIGNS Named a Top Recession-Proof Business for 2023 by Franchise Business Review

2023-05-05T10:27:43-04:00May 5th, 2023|Tags: , , , , |

Leading Sign and Graphics Organization Named a Top 100 Recession-Proof Franchise for Third Consecutive Year.

CARROLLTON, Texas — FASTSIGNS®, the leading sign, graphics and visual communications franchise, was recently named a top franchise by Franchise Business Review in its report on the Top Recession-Proof Franchises for 2023. Companies featured on the list not only have outstanding satisfaction among their franchise owners, but also demonstrate a strong potential to outperform their competitors during challenging economic times.

“FASTSIGNS is proud to offer our franchisees world-class support as they navigate business ownership during turbulent times, and this award is a testament to the value of our franchise network and business model,” said Mark Jameson, chief development officer at Propelled Brands. “With an uncertain economic landscape, having the largest, most sophisticated and recognized brand by your side can be tremendously helpful in navigating those challenges. As the need for visual communications continues to increase, FASTSIGNS serves more than 30 industries with our business model that is able to thrive in any market condition. We are proud to offer our network the tools and resources they need to find success.”

Franchise Business Review (FBR) provides the only rankings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. More than 36,000 franchisees representing over 365 franchise brands participated in Franchise Business Review’s franchisee satisfaction survey over 18 months. From the research, FASTSIGNS was one of just 100 franchise brands to be identified as a Top Recession-Proof Franchise award winner and be featured on the list of the best recession-proof franchises.

“FASTSIGNS has a broad range of products and services that are needed in all kinds of economic environments by a large variety of businesses and organizations,” said Al Cothern, FASTSIGNS franchisee of West Palm Beach, Florida, who opened his first franchise during the previous recession in 2009. “It is a very profitable business and the start-up costs were within my means. The sign and graphics industry is more insulated from a recession than some other businesses, and with a proven business model, finding success with FASTSIGNS is mainly a matter of execution.”

Last year was the brand’s most successful year-to-date with FASTSIGNS surpassing $700 million in network sales for the first time, underscoring FASTSIGNS’ adaptability to a rapidly-changing business environment and economy and the continued demand for signage and graphics, making it a recession-resistant business. FASTSIGNS is continuing to grow with record success with franchise sales, having signed 10 new franchise agreements in the first quarter this year.

The brand also recently announced plans to expand its co-brand and conversion programs to help small businesses in the sign or adjacent industries navigate operating in a recession. The co-brand and conversion programs offer independent businesses the resources and support of a recognizable brand and access to FASTSIGNS’ extensive network and successful business model.

FASTSIGNS 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, culture, and financial opportunity.

FASTSIGNS’ survey data showed the following:

  • 92% of franchisees “strongly agree” or “agree” to respecting the franchisor
  • 95% of franchisees are likely to recommend FASTSIGNS to others
  • 95% of franchisees rate their local market competitiveness above average, +20% higher than the industry benchmark

“While no business is 100% recession-proof, these franchise businesses have demonstrated that they are highly recession-resistant based on historical performance,” said Eric Stites, CEO of Franchise Business Review. “For people seeking to be their own boss, the Top 100 Recession-Proof businesses we identified this year not only have outstanding satisfaction among their owners—one of the most important factors to consider before investing in any franchise opportunity—but they have performed well in good times and bad, and we feel they hold a strong advantage to outperform their competitors in the years ahead.”

Real Property Management Shares Top Tips for Navigating the College Rental Market

2023-05-05T10:21:43-04:00May 5th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

Nation’s Leading Property Management Franchise Company Offers Expert Insight on College Rentals.

DALLAS — Real Property Management, a Neighborly® company, the nation’s leading full-service property management franchise brand, understands the rental process can be daunting for college students. To make the process easier, their experts have compiled a list of essential tips to make the college rental experience more seamless.

Before starting the rental property search, it is crucial to address some of the responsibilities that come with rentals as ignoring basic upkeep tasks could cost renters their security deposits and result in potential damage to the unit. Common rental responsibilities can include replacing light bulbs and detector batteries, changing the AC filter, making sure not to flush anything down the toilet except toilet paper (you will want to own a toilet plunger, too!), using an inexpensive hair catcher over every bathtub drain, avoiding carpet spills that may lead to staining, and taking out the trash.

“Finding your first rental property is an exciting milestone, but it also comes with great responsibility,” said Stacy Brown, Director of Technical Training at Real Property Management. “For first-time renters, enthusiasm can lead to making quick decisions that can result in a potentially bad renting experience.”

Below are key pointers to consider in your search to find the right place for your needs and budget:

  • Start Early: Begin your search for a rental property at least six months before the start of the academic year. This will give you ample time to explore different options, compare prices, and negotiate a lease.
  • Set a Budget: Determine how much you can afford to spend on rent each month, and factor in additional expenses like utilities, parking fees, and transportation costs.
  • Consider Location: Choose a rental property that is located near campus or on a convenient transportation route. This will make it easier to attend classes and social events.
  • Check Amenities: Look for rental properties that offer amenities such as laundry facilities, fitness centers, and Wi-Fi. These features can help make your college experience more enjoyable.
  • Read the Lease Carefully: Before signing a lease, make sure you read and understand all the terms and conditions. Pay close attention to details such as the move-in date, rent due date, and any penalties for breaking the lease.
  • Consider Roommates: Living with roommates can help you save money on rent and other expenses. However, make sure you choose roommates who are responsible, reliable, and compatible with your lifestyle.
  • Ask for References: Before signing a lease or renting, ask the landlord or property manager for references from current or previous tenants. This can help you get a better idea of what it’s like to live in a rental property.

Real Property Management provides full-service leasing, move-in, and move-out property inspections, property maintenance, management of tenant requests and emergencies, advertising and marketing, tenant screening, accounting, rent collection, legal evictions, and online reporting portals.

2023-05-04T10:07:18-04:00May 4th, 2023|Tags: , , , , |

FORT WORTH, Texas — Thirty years and growing, Sport Clips Haircuts National Huddle this year celebrated the franchise’s talented stylists across the country and in Canada, as well as the professionals who support the system’s 1,900 locations. With 3,000 team members on site for the “Pro in You”-themed event, President and CEO Edward Logan welcomed the crowd to Sport Clips’ home state of Texas, congratulating them on being a part of some of the company’s most successful years to date.

“Seeing the vision our family had come to life for Sport Clips when it was founded by Gordon and Bettye Logan in 1993 is especially gratifying as their son and now as president and CEO of what has grown into one of the top U.S.-based franchises,” Edward says. “More than 13,000 stylists have found rewarding careers in locally- and company-owned Sport Clips locations where they are the creative rock stars who deliver on our brand promise of a championship haircut experience day in and day out. As the franchise investment and employer of choice for the group that’s celebrating here this week, we chose the theme ‘Pro in You’ to recognize their talent and contribution to our 30-year-young, growing haircare business.”

Additional Huddle news included:

  • Sport Clips created and offered a first-of-its-kind Sober Pros opportunity in response to a stylist’s emotional journey to sobriety shared at last year’s Huddle.

To make this professional advancement and training possible, Sport Clips has a team of more than 100 coaches as well as its platform performance Artistic Team and 39 training centers in the U.S.
  • Sport Clips continues to give back locally and nationally through its Haircuts with Heart programs. Last year, Sport Clips, its clients, and product partners reached a $13M milestone in donations to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation (VFW) to fund “VFW’s Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarships” by fundraising and donating $1.5 million in 2022. This year’s fundraising will kick off in October.
  • A first-ever Huddle blood drive was staged at the event by the American Red Cross, one of Sport Clips philanthropic partners.
  • It was announced at Huddle that the first Sport Clips’ in-store fundraiser for St. Baldrick’s childhood cancer research raised $166,000 last month for a total of $2.86 million contributed to the organization since the partnership began in 2016.
  • Sport Clips’ sponsored Dream Flights has been a partner philanthropy for a decade and will hit 6,000 flights in six restored Stearman biplanes for veterans and their spouses who are residents in senior living facilities.
  • Sport Clips was among the first franchises to create a relief fund to provide funds for team members in financial need. To date, the McGlone Gozur Fund has distributed more than $4.7M in funds to 800+ team members employed by individually owned franchises or corporate stores.

Top awards at this year’s Huddle went to:

Island Fin Poké Co. Soars from #59 to #29 in Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2023 Top New & Emerging Franchises List

2023-05-03T10:24:19-04:00May 3rd, 2023|Tags: , , |

ORLANDO, Fla. — Becoming a successful restaurant franchise is not an easy task; it takes a strong brand with an extraordinary culture that serves deliciously healthy flavors. Island Fin Poké Co., America’s best poké restaurant, jumped its ranking from last year of #59 to now being ranked #29 on the 2023 Top New & Emerging Franchises list by Entrepreneur Magazine, a leading online franchise publication.

The brand has always remained consistent and continues to provide every guest with unparalleled service and a family-like atmosphere. From curated music to only using the freshest boat-to-bowl ingredients, every Island Fin Poké Co. location offers an incredible sensory experience. This means each time a guest experiences a poké bowl at Island Fin, they are experiencing the incrediBOWL, which is personally crafted to the guest’s liking. Offering chicken, tofu and spam protein options, aside from the traditional fish options of tuna, salmon, shrimp and octopus, Island Fin caters to all preferences with everything on their menu being gluten-free.

According to Entrepreneur Magazine, the Top New & Emerging Franchise list recognizes franchises that have demonstrated strong potential for growth in the years to come. These companies, including Island Fin Poké Co., are on this list and are ranked based on the scores they received in the Franchise 500 evaluation, which analyzes more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength and stability.

“The franchise industry is full of big new ideas, which is why Entrepreneur’s Top New and Emerging list is always so exciting,” said Entrepreneur Magazine editor-in-chief, Jason Feifer. “If anyone’s looking to get in on the ground floor of the next big thing, they should start with the brands we’ve identified— that are all full of creativity, innovation and accessibility for aspiring entrepreneurs.”

Island Fin has also recently been named on the “SUPERHERO BRAND 500” list by FranServe. To be named on this list shows each brand values a fun and rewarding lifestyle and emphasizes people fulfilling their dreams of business ownership through franchising. Brands on this list are recognized for going above and beyond and being superheroes. This is based on criteria of brand identity, clear marketing message, industry leader, turnkey model, operational support, training and scalability.

“We’re thrilled to be recognized as one of the top new and emerging franchises yet again and as a Superhero brand,” said Mark Setterington, CEO of Island Fin Poké Co. “Our team and franchisees have worked tirelessly to build a strong and sustainable business model that resonates with our guests across the country, and this ranking is a testament to their hard work and dedication.”

The brand continues to grow its fan base and introduce poké to new audiences and draw interest from new franchisees across America. Determined to offer more and appeal to new guests, Island Fin began offering free two-ounce samples of their most popular options for guests to try, with the goal of making poké more approachable and educating guests on the endless options of flavors. Since its introduction, the free two-ounce sample of poké is converting guests at POS at a rate of over 95%, turning people who thought they would never even try it into new poké lovers because of their amazing experience and the combination of exotic and familiar flavors.

Perhaps one of the most extraordinary and unique features at Island Fin is the absence of trash cans and dining trays in the dining room. Unlike all other fast-casual and fast-food restaurants, the team members will serve each guest their food and clear the always empty dishes and trash at the end of the meal.

“We believe that our commitment to guest service, quality and sustainability sets us apart from other restaurant brands,” added Setterington. “We’re getting a lot of attention from young entrepreneurs interested in franchising because of our unique franchise model, the growing trend for healthy food that is delicious and our simplified fast-casual concept.”

Because their poké bowls are paramount in freshness, flavor and ingredients, the brand has been recognized and celebrated through several other noteworthy awards over the last six years as well. Earlier this year, they were recognized as a Top 100 Game Changer for 2022 by Franchise Dictionary Magazine. To be recognized, the brand had to fulfill an assortment of criteria including impressing millennials, making an impact, serving their community, creating an opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs and filling a niche.
