Self-Starting Entrepreneur Signs Agreement with Re-Bath for Greater D.C. Market

2023-02-23T10:02:38-05:00February 23rd, 2023|Tags: , , , |

Leading Bathroom Remodeling Franchise Expands Footprint in Virginia and Maryland with Seasoned Entrepreneur.

WASHINGTONRe-Bath, the nation’s largest complete bathroom remodeling franchise, has announced a single territory signed agreement for the greater D.C. market. The territory spans northeast Virginia, from Leesburg to Fredericksburg, and officially opened on January 13. With large retailer partnerships contributing to the brand’s growth and market share gains driving nearly an 31% YOY increase in systemwide sales, existing and new franchisees are flocking to the franchise opportunity.

Growing Re-Bath’s presence on the East Coast is Raj Kapoor, a self-starting entrepreneur and longtime Virginia native. Kapoor began his entrepreneurial journey after opening his first restaurant at age 19. Since then, he has opened more than 15 restaurants – having completed the construction himself and running the operations for each one. When the business started doing well, Kapoor would sell it and start over on a new endeavor. While he still runs one deli-style restaurant in D.C., Kapoor sought after a change and wanted to get into a business with a franchise model.

“I came across Re-Bath after getting my deck done with Lowe’s and was impressed with the streamlined process,” said Kapoor. “My past experiences were never like this – I am used to having to chase after the contractors. With my Re-Bath opened and operating, I hope it becomes a business that customers can rely on, which is important for home remodeling. I’ve lived in Virginia for 32 years so I see there’s a need for bathroom remodeling services and I look forward to being a dependable business for my community and beyond.”

Re-Bath has grown into a trusted and respected service provider known for expert, affordable, and effortless bathroom remodeling solutions that transform homeowners’ bathrooms in days, not weeks. Whether seeking a tub or shower area update, better accessibility and safety in your bathroom or a complete bathroom remodel, Re-Bath makes bathroom remodeling easy. The company’s exclusive remodel process removes old materials and fixtures and replaces them with beautiful new options in a wide variety of colors and styles.

“When bringing on a new franchisee, you want that partner to align with the brand’s vision and Raj is exactly that person,” said Sharon Villegas, Chief Revenue Officer of Re-Bath. “He values the franchise model, and even with his vast entrepreneur experience, he knew he needed to first understand our model. We are excited to have a passionate franchisee brought onboard who is fully invested in our brand.”

As the largest bathroom remodeling company in the United States, Re-Bath has established a proven business model, unparalleled franchise office support, and an infrastructure for growth as it continues to seek strategic franchise partners to expand its footprint nationwide. The executive leadership team has seen consistent new development across the East Coast with 24 territories still available for growth, three specifically in the D.C. market. Collectively, the D.C. territories boast a population count of 4.5 million and 11 retail partner stores.

Per Re-Bath’s Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees with territories between 1.25 and 2.5 million people had average revenues of over $2.8 million in 2021, up over 21% from 2020*.

The success achieved by the brand has not gone unnoticed as Re-Bath recently earned the No. 283 spot on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2023 Franchise 500®, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Re-Bath also ranked No. 2 on Qualified Remodeler‘s Top 500 Nationals List and was recognized as No. 1 in the “Best Bathroom Renovations” category on Bob Vila’s 2022 Best Home Improvement Contractors of 2022 Ranking.  The franchise is building off this momentum for repeated success throughout 2023, with a goal of awarding 25 franchise agreements while strengthening performance and same-store-sales.

*The figures reflect average and median sales revenue and average gross profits for 36 Re-Bath franchised businesses with territories of between 1.25 million and 2.5 million residents, and which were in operation for at least one year. These averages and medians are based on a 52-week fiscal period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. Of these 36 franchised businesses, 11 (or 31%) attained or exceeded the average sales revenue and 15 (or 42%) attained or exceeded the average gross profit. Some outlets have sold this amount. Individual results may vary. There is no assurance that you will sell as much as the average. See the Re-Bath 2022 Franchise Disclosure Document for details.

Send Me A Pro, First Franchise to Offer Multiple Home Services Under One Franchise, Hits 100+ Locations in 2 Years

2023-02-23T09:57:48-05:00February 23rd, 2023|Tags: , , , , , , , |

Everything from fitness & sports trainers, pet care providers, tutors, music instructors, child care providers, handyman services and much more.

MIAMI — Send Me A Trainer announces today the launch of Send Me A Pro, an online exclusive and managed marketplace that makes it easy to connect with local service providers that come to you. Everything from fitness & sports trainers, pet care providers, tutors, music instructors, child care providers and much more.

“As traction grew with Send Me A Trainer, our clients started to request that we connect them with other local in-home service providers such as tutors for their kids, and dog trainers and Send Me A Pro was born,” says Bary El-Yacoubi (IG: @baryceo), Co-Founder of Send Me A Pro. “At the core of our business model is connectivity. We connect clients with local vetted service providers. We started with personal trainers and are now expanding the marketplace to include other local services”.

“In the past decade we have seen the emergence of online marketplaces for products (such as Amazon), and this next decade will be about the digitization of the services economy with more services being booked online,” says Muhssin El-Yacoubi (IG: @muhssin), Co-Founder of Send Me A Pro. “Send Me A Pro distinguishes itself from other marketplaces by providing a higher level of convenience and quality through curating an exclusive network of providers, done-for-you booking, fixed pricing, and better customer service provided by our local franchise owner.”

Our franchisees are very excited about offering more services which allows them to increase their earning potential and grow their total addressable market (TAM). Franchisees can also continue to add more service categories and prioritize services that are in high demand in their market. Franchisees are identifying popular services that are already being offered by other businesses in their markets and this is their validation to add these services to their Send Me A Pro platform.

“The ability to offer multiple service businesses under one franchise is groundbreaking and is disrupting the franchise industry,” says Muhssin El-Yacoubi (IG: @muhssin), Co-Founder of Send Me A Pro. “Historically speaking, every category is a standalone franchise. No one has ever aggregated multiple services with an Uber like experience under one franchise, until now. Send Me A Pro is changing the way people think of franchising as they don’t have to limit themselves to just one category anymore”.

“Since introducing Send Me A Pro, the number of inquiries from prospective franchise candidates has over tripled,” says Bary El-Yacoubi (IG: @baryceo), Co-Founder of Send Me A Pro. “Franchise consultants and brokers that help prospective franchise owners select a franchise are telling us that they have never seen such an exciting reaction from their clients as when introduced to Send Me A Pro. People that were once looking for a tutoring, dog walking, or maid service franchise are now considering Send Me A Pro. It’s an obvious choice for them as they can now simply offer all of these services and more through Send Me A Pro”.

Send Me A Pro continues to bring technology and Silicon Valley to the franchising world. Franchisees are attracted to our scalable, technology-enabled, home based business model with low overhead, no physical location and passive ownership options.

We have also received an influx of E-2 visa candidates as Send Me A Pro Franchise is very suitable for US immigrant visa applicants. To learn more about E-2, Franchise and international Master Franchise opportunities with Send Me A Pro and to apply, visit: https://www.sendmeaprofranchise.com.

About Send Me A Pro

Send Me A Pro is the first franchise system that offers multiple in-home service businesses under one franchise. Everything from fitness & sports trainers, pet care providers, tutors, music instructors, child care providers and much more. Send Me A Pro evolved from Send Me A Trainer, which focuses on fitness and sports services. Since launching its franchise model in 2020, Send Me A Pro has established over 100 territories across the USA, Canada, UK and Dubai.

One of the first initiatives Schuetz is building up is the marketing department team, which will be focused on supporting franchisees on their local efforts to further drive brand awareness in each of their communities. “As we maintain a strong brand position on the national level, we know that same positioning has a powerful impact when tailored for our small business owners,” added Schuetz.

HOUSTON HEIGHTS, Texas — BODY20, the pioneer in the Electro-Muscle Stimulation (EMS) fitness space that utilizes an FDA-cleared suit giving you a full-body workout in just 20 minutes, is opening a new studio location in Houston Heights on February 20.

Located at 600 North Shepherd Drive, Suite 451, this concept brings all fitness levels together to experience what BODY20 is known for: changing the way people workout through time-condensed technology training. To give the Houston Heights community an opportunity to become familiar with the BODY20 experience, the studio will celebrate its opening with discounted founding memberships.

BODY20 Houston Heights is owned and operated by veteran entrepreneurs, Bhavika and Shawn Patel. The Patels have been in the franchising industry since 2008 and know what it takes to create a successful business. Their passion for BODY20 is palpable, and they are eager to share this efficient and futuristic concept of training with their community. The Patels are set to bring an additional three locations to the central Houston area over the next few years.

“BODY20 is the future of fitness,” says Bhavika Patel. “You’re in an awesome suit, modern space and it feels like you’re ready to take on the world! This high-intensity and low-impact workout is truly for everyone, and we cannot wait to welcome our local community.”

The BODY20 boutique fitness franchise offers the ultimate one-of-a-kind training experience. At your first private session, you’ll take a complimentary BODY20 bio-impedance measurement using best-in-class technology to provide a body composition assessment, discuss your wellness goals and get fitted into an FDA-cleared Electro-Muscle Stimulation (EMS) suit. During the 20-minute training session, a certified BODY20 Coach guides you through a customized 1-on-1 strength program, giving your body more than 150 times more muscle contractions than a conventional workout without any need to use traditional gym equipment.

The technology-based fitness brand offers serious benefits repeatedly reported by current members, including increased muscle tone, weight loss, overall improved core strength and all with minimal strain on the musculoskeletal system. The certified BODY20 Coaches at BODY20 Houston Heights are excited to serve their local community while offering this engaging and time-condensed approach to movement. They can’t wait to welcome members of all backgrounds to the BODY20 family.
