Trusted Roofing and Construction Brand Plans to Open in Multiple Iowa Cities.

FORT WORTH, Texas — Storm Guard – an innovative and community-driven roofing and construction brand – is taking strides to expand its essential home restoration services into Iowa for the first time. Storm Guard believes the state is the perfect new home for its brand due to Iowa having some of the most unpredictable and severe weather patterns in the U.S.., including extreme storms and tornadoes. The brand currently has 39 franchise locations and is looking to add 100 franchise locations in the next five years, with Davenport, Des Moines, Iowa City, and Cedar Rapids being on their list of places they want to target. Storm Guard is searching for franchise partners to open 2 territories in Iowa.

“With the wide range of temperatures, hail, tornadoes and storms that Iowa experiences each year, it’s clear that our services are a necessity,” stated Shane Lynch, President of Storm Guard. “Iowa residents deserve to have their homes restored by honest and reputable contractors who put integrity first.”

Since 2003, Storm Guard has been helping an abundance of families restore their homes after storms and solve problems that all property owners experience, including roofing, siding, window improvements, painting, emergency tarping, and installing proper gutters. All repairs ranging from general home upgrades to storm restoration are completed with their customers’ best interests in mind, with the brand taking measures to ensure their satisfaction, such as alleviating the stress of dealing with insurance claims and providing high-quality work without the high cost.

“The work we do is crucial to the areas we serve,” said Lynch. “The impact of our services has helped countless families across the nation, and we would love to expand and share our services and expertise with Iowa. This will help us to improve and positively impact these communities and the families that are a part of it.”

Storm Guard is devoted to providing exceptional restoration services to households across the country by creating franchising opportunities. Each locally owned Storm Guard location is not only dedicated to providing the highest quality of service to the communities around them, but also to support and share their experience with other franchise owners throughout the system. Storm Guard is a family, and families can best find success with help from each other.

The ideal Storm Guard franchisee is driven, a good communicator, and takes immense pride in helping their community. The brand’s initial franchise fee is $65,000, and the total investment ranges from $185,400–$221,600.

Rolling Suds Makes Power Play with Launch of High-Demand Service Franchise Opportunity

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-02-08T10:35:10-05:00February 8th, 2023|Tags: power washing franchise, Professional Wash Method, residential and commercial customers, Rolling Suds|

30-Year-Old Proven Leader in Residential + Commercial Power Washing Fills Niche in $1.8B Home Service Industry.

PHILADELPHIA — Rolling Suds, a leader in residential and commercial power washing for 30-plus years, announced it is bringing its proven “Professional Wash Method” to the masses with the introduction of franchise opportunities in markets around the country.

With a successful corporate location based in Pennsylvania that’s positioned as one of the few multi-million-dollar power washing businesses in the U.S., the Rolling Suds franchise opportunity fills a need and has vast whitespace available nationwide.

Rolling Suds was founded in the greater Philadelphia area in 1990 by Brian Wendling Sr. and eventually became a father-duo business with the addition of Brian Wendling Jr. as co-owner. Spearheading the franchising growth strategy is Rolling Suds CEO Aaron Harper, an experienced industry veteran who is also the CEO and Founder of Franchise Overdrive. Having helped hundreds of entrepreneurs find their path to business ownership, Harper’s role as franchisor of Rolling Suds was a natural progression.

“A year ago, I set out to take everything I have learned in franchising and working with entrepreneurs, and channel it all into becoming a franchisor myself,” shared Harper. “What attracted me most to Rolling Suds is their focus on doing one thing, and doing it better than anyone else – power washing. Currently, the power washing industry is fragmented with companies that lack the necessary experience to do the job right. With more than 30 years under their belt, the Wendling’s have dialed in systems and processes that allow them to provide services better than anyone else.”

The launch of the Rolling Suds franchise comes at an opportune time, as the global home services industry is projected to reach $1.8 billion by 2030, a 21+% increase from 2022. With top-of-the-line equipment and highly trained professionals, Rolling Suds is a sustainable business with the ability to invest back into itself.

“This is an exciting time for Rolling Suds,” said Brian Wendling Jr. “We’ve put our heart and soul into building this company’s foundation and stellar reputation over the years as the nation’s most professional power washers. Now we’re looking ahead to the next phase of growth through giving franchisees an opportunity to apply all of our proven processes and systems in a Rolling Suds power washing business of their own.”

The Rolling Suds brand and franchise is built on three core elements – relationships, reputation and reliability – and each are applicable to both consumers and franchisees. Having unparalleled experience in such an unregulated industry, Rolling Suds franchisees will be able to differentiate themselves from competitors through a recession-resistant business model.

One key differentiator of Rolling Suds is the quality and process of the service itself. Rolling Suds has even coined its own term, the “Professional Wash Method,” which credits its high-quality materials and expert staff of washers.

“There are franchises that offer power washing as one of its services, but it’s not comparable to Rolling Suds,” added Harper. “Consumers like to hire businesses that do one thing really well versus a variety of things that are done subpar. I am confident that we will build a robust team of franchisees who are just as passionate about the business and its potential.”

Rolling Suds is looking to bring on single and multi-unit franchisees. For more information on its franchise opportunity, visit https://rollingsudsfranchise.com/get-started/ or call 215-392-2368.

ABOUT ROLLING SUDS:

Rolling Suds is the premier franchise in power washing, bringing unparalleled standards to an unregulated industry. The company, founded more than 30 years ago, has helped more than 100,000 residential and commercial customers throughout the northeast while building a great reputation by hiring the best people, using the best equipment, and providing the best experience in the industry. Anchored by years of unmatched results, Rolling Suds aims to make power washing one less thing to worry about for customers across the U.S. by expanding into new markets.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. — AtWork, a rapidly growing national staffing franchise, today announced the opening of its new office in Kalamazoo, Michigan, extending the company’s overall reach in the upper midwestern United States. The location is operated by franchise owner Lukus Handshoe, and it is located at 4430 S. Westnedge Ave., Kalamazoo, Michigan, 49008.

I have no doubt Lukus and his team are going to make a tremendously positive impact on their community!”

The city of Kalamazoo is the crossroads of Western Michigan where I-94 and 131 intersect. It is well known as a major international pharmaceutical and life sciences center; however, it is home to a diverse mix of light industrial companies, several restaurants and retail shops, as well as Western Michigan University. AtWork aims to make a positive impact on the local community by offering meaningful opportunities to people, giving back in the community, and striving to be the preferred staffing provider for the area’s leading companies.

“Helping people has always been a passion of mine,” said Handshoe. “There is no greater satisfaction than making a positive impact on people’s lives, assisting companies with obtaining their most valuable asset, and giving back to the communities that we serve. We are AtWork For You, and we are excited to bring AtWork Personnel to the great city of Kalamazoo.”

The business will primarily serve the light industrial, retail and restaurant industries, facilitating temporary, temp-to-hire and direct-hire placements. The business can be reached at 269-215-0552 or AtWork.com/kalamazoo.

“This is yet another example of how we are committed to our franchisees – from hiring the absolute best people in the industry, to leveraging strategic partnerships like Benetrends,” said Chris Pena, President and Founder of BODY20. “We understand the importance of ensuring that our franchisees can and will get open successfully.”

“Capital access challenges are going to affect every franchise system’s unit expansion for the next few years. The days of building relationships with preferred lenders in advance of expected loan applications are gone and we’re now experiencing a paradigm shift in the ways franchisors and lenders interact,” added Bob McQuillan, Chief Development Officer of BODY20. “A fund like Benetrends will continue to allow brands such as ours to grow organically and bring in best-in-class franchisees and operators.”

“Benetrends is excited to now provide designated franchisors and their franchisees access to the critical funding needed to expand their current operations or purchase their first franchise,” said Rocco Fiorentino, President & CEO of Benetrends, Inc. “We’re pleased to award BODY20 $30 million, as they look to meet their future development needs following their record-setting growth in 2022.”

P.volve Continues Expansion with the Growth of its Studio Franchise Business and the Grand Opening of Inaugural Franchisee in Southern California

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-02-07T20:24:20-05:00February 7th, 2023|Tags: fitness company, functional movement, P.volve, proprietary equipment|

The popular functional fitness brand is scaling its brick-and-mortar footprint with new franchise location signings, its first franchise studio opening in San Diego, and more doors opening later this year.

NEW YORK — P.volve, the omni-channel fitness company with an innovative, science-led method that pairs functional movement with proprietary equipment, is opening its first franchise studio this week in San Diego. The newly minted San Diego location builds on the company’s existing owned and operated brick-and-mortar locations in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. The physical studios are just one more way to experience P.volve’s signature, low impact, resistance-based method which pushes you to break a sweat, but not your body.

P.volve’s programming is currently also accessible via a digital membership that offers unlimited access to stream the brand’s extensive live and on-demand library of classes, series and challenges via P.volve.com and a mobile app. Consumers who purchase an unlimited studio membership automatically get unlimited access to P.volve’s digital offering. Through its hybrid offerings, P.volve is designed to meet modern fitness consumers where they are and on their own terms.

“The franchise model allows us to bring P.volve’s unique method and patented equipment to more people, especially to those who crave live, in-person training,” said P.volve President Julie Cartwright. “We recognize that today’s consumer expects hybrid experiences across all aspects of their life, from work to shopping to fitness. Sometimes you just want to roll out of bed and get a killer workout at home, and other times you want to head to a class and train alongside others. P.volve can deliver on both.”

As the company fast-tracks toward its aggressive goal of opening more franchise studios this year, it’s also looking to new markets across the U.S., UK and Canada.

The San Diego Location

The first franchised studio, located within Westfield UTC (4575 La Jolla Village Dr #1172, San Diego) is situated in one of P.volve’s top 20 digital markets for virtual class registrations and is owned by Kirstin and John Keohane, who have signed on for three locations within the area. Kirstin Keohane has a lifelong love of fitness and sport, and at one time competed at the national level in ringette, a sport similar to hockey.

“P.volve is changing the conversation around holistic wellness. Our workouts fill a real need in fitness, marrying both intense toning with functional movements that help restore and support the body so you can feel incredible both inside and out,” said P.volve franchise owner Kirstin Keohane. “We’re proud to open P.volve’s first franchise studio and look forward to bringing this effective low-impact method that improves strength, stability, mobility and physique to greater San Diego.”

The momentum doesn’t stop at San Diego. P.volve has also awarded franchises for studios across the U.S., all set to open by Q4 2023. Confirmed areas include Northwest Suburbs, Ill.; Bergen County, N.J.; Carlsbad, Cali.; Fort Worth, Texas and Nashville, Tenn., as well as two locations in Canada, Calgary and Victoria, with several additional franchisees in the pipeline.

All franchised P.volve studio locations are strategically situated in areas of concentrated demand. P.volve works to equip partners with a toolkit for success, from providing valuable data, site scores and demographic reports, to access to an experienced real estate and general contracting team—all to ensure the process of opening a studio is seamless and efficient.

Early Childhood Education Franchise Opens in East Norriton, Brings Well-Rounded Program to the Community.

EAST NORRITON, Pa. — Celebree School, a leader in early childhood education that provides infant and toddler care, preschool, before and aftercare, and summer camp programs, will open its newest school in March in East Norriton. Located at 2714 Dekalb Plaza, the new school will provide a customized program that addresses the physical, social, emotional, and academic needs of children while adhering to Pennsylvania’s early education standards.

Celebree School in East Norriton is owned and operated by local entrepreneurs Ashish and Ranjeeta Patel. Ashish has worked for Fortune 500 Financial Institutions and IT companies as a Senior Executive for the past 17 years, and Ranjeeta previously worked as a Senior IT Executive with Fintech Company. Ashish and Ranjeeta come from a family of educators who operate multiple education institutions and have been providing high-quality education for more than 35 years. Like their family, Ashish and Ranjeeta have always felt called to the education industry. After years of working in other industries, they are now able to answer that calling and pass on their love and commitment to quality education. They are both thrilled to have the opportunity to provide the best early childhood education experience for students in their community.

“Education is something we value and are very passionate about,” said Ashish. “Coming from a family of educators has shown me the importance of a high-quality early education. I have experienced that first-hand as both a student and a father of two young boys. This has always been my calling, and my wife and I are fully invested in making sure our students receive the best education possible.”

Celebree School lives by its promise to Grow People Big and Small™, and was founded on the belief that success in early childhood development is equal parts curriculum and a connection that extends beyond the classroom to address the needs of the whole child and the whole family. Each Celebree School is a village made up of parents, children, and educators while providing curriculum-based care that prepares your child for kindergarten and beyond.

With a 25-plus-year history of providing superior early childhood education, Celebree School delivers a stable, secure learning environment that helps children develop a lifelong love of learning.
