SARASOTA, Fla. — Le Macaron, the leading French Pastries and Macaron franchise in the United States, announced the upcoming openings of three new locations this spring in Traverse City, Michigan, Gaithersburg, Maryland, and Tampa, Florida, with an additional 8-10 locations planned by the end of summer. As the #1 macaron franchise with more than 70 locations nationwide, the popular French patisserie is enjoying steady expansion as successful franchisees scramble to open multiple locations and new owners hold grand openings for shops, kiosks in malls, or food trucks.

“We are thrilled with our accelerated growth, and we are fortunate to have inquiries from interested franchisees all over the country,” said Le Macaron spokesperson Greg Guillem. “At our current pace, we are on track to have up to 20 new locations within the next year.”

Le Macaron locations planned for summer openings include Columbus, Ohio, Tucson, Arizona, Long Beach, California, Sacramento, California, Pembroke Pines, Florida, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, New York, and Miami.

The upcoming grand opening scheduled for mid-May in Traverse City at 332 Front Street is the second location for owner Bobbi Jo Blanton, who also owns a Le Macaron store with her husband, William, in Grand Rapids. Blanton is so enamored of her experience as a Le Macaron franchisee that she is scouting for a third location to open in the future.

“It’s extremely rewarding to bring the taste of authentic macarons to these communities,” Blanton said.

New owners Natalia Mejia and Camito Beltran are preparing to open their store at RIO Lakefront at 9841 Washingtonian Boulevard in Gaithersburg, Maryland while owners Sanjam and Karam Chawla will open a mobile kiosk at International Plaza in Tampa. All the new franchisees are banking on the fact that interest in delicious, bite-sized macarons is trending throughout the country. Le Macaron co-founder Rosalie Guillem says prospective franchisees and consumers are learning about why quality, authenticity, and freshness define Le Macaron as a premium brand and the leader in its category.

“What sets Le Macaron apart from competitors is that we are a best-in-class brand with authentic macarons prepared fresh daily by our French pastry chefs,” said Guillem. “We have more than 20 delicious flavors as well as seasonal flavors to delight customers of all ages, including those who are looking for a Parisian café experience.”

Le Macaron treats customers to a taste of Paris, including vibrant, colorful décor, traditional music, and a menu featuring freshly prepared macarons, pastries, gelato, coffee, gourmet chocolates, cakes, éclairs, European style beverages and more. Macarons are also available in seasonal flavors to commemorate holidays and special occasions, and the company has a thriving catering and corporate gifting business year-around.

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-03-30T11:42:56-04:00March 30th, 2023|Tags: City Wide Facility Solutions, commercial facility management company, managing interior and exterior services|

LENEXA, Kan. — City Wide Facility Solutions of Tampa Bay, the nation’s leading commercial facility management company, raised $621,000 for Learning Independence for Tomorrow (LiFT) at its annual franchise convention this past March.

City Wide’s mission is to create a Ripple Effect by positively impacting the people and communities it supports. Franchisees from nearly 95 City Wide franchise locations came together to support the Tampa Bay location as part of its ongoing partnership with the nonprofit. Opened in 2010 by local entrepreneurs Steve Howerton and John Duffy, the Tampa Bay franchise location has a long-standing track record of supporting neurodiversity and LiFT through the nonprofit’s microbusiness program.

“Many of the educational and support systems that someone with neurodiversity requires aren’t readily available. Unfortunately, this means people with neurodiversity are isolated and not given the resources to survive,” said Howerton, “LiFT provides these life-saving resources that allow these individuals to learn and succeed. I’m humbled by the support from the City Wide system to come together and help spread a massive ripple.”

LiFT’s mission is to inspire and empower people with neurodiversity to learn, thrive, and succeed. The organization’s goal is to level the playing field for individuals with learning differences and neurodiversity by providing them with exceptional academics, life skills, career training and opportunities to strengthen social skills and building meaningful friendships.

“LiFT was overwhelmed and incredibly humbled by this level of support from City Wide. To see a company make it part of their culture to give back, to recognize an organization improving the lives of an underserved population, and to promote a national mobilized effort to support a united cause was truly awe inspiring,” said Shawn Naugle, CEO of LiFT. “Having recently celebrated our 10^th year in operation, LiFT has never seen this kind of philanthropic support from a community partner and could not be more thankful and proud to have a team like City Wide standing shoulder-to-shoulder to promote the LiFT Motto of ‘Change a Life, Change the World.'”

City Wide has made a name for itself in major U.S. cities and Canada by streamlining facility solutions for more than 20 interior and exterior services for commercial facilities including janitorial, disinfecting, handyman services and parking lot maintenance. Taking the onus from building owners and property management businesses that typically choose separate companies for each task, City Wide eases the selection and management processes for its clients.

Sales from ‘Play On Charity Holiday’ Plush Toys to Support Best Friends Animal Society and Local Shelters Nationwide.

LIVONIA, Mich. — Today Pet Supplies Plus, the largest and most trusted pet retail franchise in the United States, announced their donation of $30,068 to Best Friends Animal Society, partially through a portion of sales from the ‘Play On Charity Holiday’ plush toys during the 2022 holiday season. Dedicated to making the U.S. no-kill, Best Friends Animal Society helps nearly 4,000 shelters and rescue groups around the country with essential resources and innovative solutions tailored to meet individual communities’ needs, allowing their teams to save as many shelter animals as possible.

For the fourth consecutive year, Pet Supplies Plus has partnered with Best Friends Animal Society. The animal welfare organization received 10% of sales from the purchase of these plush toys which came in three styles – Giraffe, Sloth, and Cat. With each purchase of these toys, neighbors were supporting Best Friends Animal Society’s mission and as a result, more than $30,000 is being donated to help animals across the nation.

Determined to bring the country to no-kill by the year 2025, Best Friends is working collaboratively with shelters, rescue groups and other organizations to end the killing and Save Them All^®.

“We are grateful for partners like Pet Supplies Plus that raise funds for us through fun and innovative campaigns,” said Candi Maciel, Director of Corporate Partnerships at Best Friends Animal Society. “The Charity Plush campaign in 2022 was a great way to engage consumers and get them involved in the work we’re doing to Save Them All.

Americans are “plugged in” to EVs in 2023, says Mr. Electric survey

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-03-29T13:06:40-04:00March 29th, 2023|Tags: electrical installation and repair company, home services company, Mr. Electric, Neighborly, residential and commercial customers|

Mr. Electric^®, a Neighborly^® company, leads the charge with comprehensive installation services for homes and businesses.

WACO, Texas — Twenty percent of U.S. homeowners are likely to upgrade or purchase electric vehicles in 2023, according to data from Mr. Electric^®, a Neighborly^® company, which delivers comprehensive electrical services for homes and businesses throughout North America. These results come from a Mr. Electric consumer survey, conducted in February 2023, to gauge consumer sentiment around common electric services, including Electrical Vehicle (EV) charging stations.

When it comes to ease of use, 63% of respondents would most prefer to charge their vehicle at home. Shockingly, only 15% of those surveyed said their workplace provides EV charging stations. While businesses work to meet the needs of EV-owning employees, residential installation is more important than ever.

Recharging your home

Although more than half (53%) of surveyed U.S. homeowners would be likely to install a home charging station after purchasing an electric vehicle (with 26% saying they’d be very likely), 79% do not feel confident about installing one themselves. Mr. Electric aims to guide these homeowners by providing insight into necessary electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and expert installation.

“EVs continue to gain popularity and charging station installations are becoming more in-demand than ever,” said Joel Worthington, president of Mr. Electric. “At Mr. Electric, we’re working hard to address the need for the safe installation of EV chargers by providing expert installation and consultation in addition to comprehensive electrical services in homes and businesses.”

The survey also asked about other ways homeowners can amp up their homes in 2023:

Surge protection – only 14% of U.S. homeowners surveyed have whole-home protection. Power surges can compromise any plugged-in device and whole-home protection helps eliminate risk.
Electrical panels – 44% of homeowners surveyed say that the most appealing benefit of upgrading electrical panels is energy efficiency/cost savings.
Backup generators – In the event of a power outage, home generators help you to stay safe and comfortable until power is restored. Only 23% of surveyed U.S. homeowners currently have a backup generator.
Carbon monoxide detectors – 80% of U.S. homeowners surveyed agree that it’s important to have carbon monoxide detectors in their homes.

“A lot of homeowners don’t realize how important it is to update your electrical panel every 10 years,” said Worthington. “Forty-four percent say the biggest benefit of electrical panel upgrades is energy efficiency/cost savings as an old panel may be draining the system. Among other concerns such as outages, incidents and fires, it’s essential for homeowners to get their panels inspected regularly.”

Survey Methodology

This survey was conducted online within the United States by Censuswide on behalf of Mr. Electric, a Neighborly company from February 10-13, 2023, among 2,018 U.S. adults. For more information, please contact Rebecca Sefter at rsefter@gscommunications.com

Franchising Expert Invests in America’s Largest Bathroom Remodeler to Expand in New York Territories.

NEW YORK — Re-Bath, the nation’s largest complete bathroom remodeling franchise, has announced a two-territory signed agreement in the New York market servicing Suffolk County, Long Island and Westchester County, New York. With large retailer partnerships contributing to the brand’s growth and market share gains driving nearly a 31% YOY increase in systemwide sales, prospective franchisees are flocking to the franchise opportunity. Leadership sees vast opportunity for growth in the East Coast, with more than eight available territories across New York.

Behind the signed agreement is veteran franchise owner Jim Berardi, now a multi-brand and multi-unit franchise owner with the addition of two Re-Bath Franchise territories. Notably, he’s previously been a top owner with N-Hance Wood Refinishing. In 2022, Berardi won the N-Hance Service Excellence Award out of 140 franchisees for the best service experience, and has been nominated for the Rising Star award in 2021 and 2022. Being in the home service industry for over 14 years, Berardi currently owns multiple home service businesses and is looking for additional opportunity to expand his franchising success – insert Re-Bath.

In addition to providing homeowners with expert, affordable, and effortless bathroom remodeling solutions, Berardi is especially interested in, and dedicated to, providing the elderly with accessibility bathroom solutions for those who are seeking to stay in their homes and gracefully age in place.

“By investing in Re-Bath, I want to provide a professional bathroom remodeling experience to those aging in place with an easy bathroom remodel from design to completion in half the time than our competitors,” said Berardi. “With Re-Bath’s national notoriety and established culture, I am truly excited to invest in a franchise that has an immense amount of support for their franchisees.”

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.

“Jim Berardi has proven to be the perfect addition to our brand with his past success in the home service industry,” said Brad Hillier, CEO of Re-Bath. “We are excited to have him join our franchise system and continue to expand the New York area. There is great opportunity for continued growth across the region with a large population we currently aren’t reaching.”

With this signed agreement, development is set to launch in May in Suffolk County, Long Island and in Westchester County, NY (which includes Westchester County, Rockland, and Putnam Counties). Re-Bath is additionally looking for franchise partners to expand into the five boroughs of New York City (The Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island) with possible development in a total of five territories, one territory per borough. Leadership also sees opportunity available for potential franchisees to invest in upstate New York in Buffalo, Syracuse, and Rochester.

Helping fuel these development efforts is newly appointed Vice President of Franchise Development, Adam Petersen, who joins the team with over 15 years of sales experience and over 10 years of experience in the franchise industry.

The impressive growth 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.

2023 Economic Outlook Shows Franchise Job and Unit Growth Trends Ahead of Pre-Pandemic Levels

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-03-28T11:01:06-04:00March 28th, 2023|Tags: franchising, IFA, International Franchise Association|

New IFA report shows franchises to add 254,000 jobs, 15,000 new independent businesses this year, despite economic headwinds.

WASHINGTON, March 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The International Franchise Association (IFA) today released its 2023 Franchising Economic Outlook report, showing that franchise unit and job growth continues to outpace pre-pandemic levels, delivering jobs and business ownership opportunities across the United States, despite economic uncertainty across all industries and in daily life. The report highlights the impacts of today’s unique economic challenges, which have affected system growth and led to an increase in wages, among other factors.

“Even with today’s economic headwinds, franchised businesses continue to grow, providing more good-paying jobs for their employees, and serving their local communities,” said IFA President and CEO Matt Haller. “After an historic year of growth during the post-pandemic recovery, the size of the franchise economy in 2023 will exceed pre-pandemic levels – demonstrating the power of the business model for prospective business owners when franchisors and franchisees work together.”

The full report is available here.

Key highlights from the report include:

The overall number of franchise establishments will increase by almost 15,000 units in 2023, or 1.9%, to 805,000 units in the U.S.
Franchising will add approximately 254,000 jobs in 2023. Growing at 3.0%, total franchise employment is forecasted to reach 8.7 million.
The total output of franchised businesses — the measure of total economic activity in nominal dollars — will increase by 4.2% to $860.1 billion in 2023, up from $825.4 billion in 2022.
Franchises’ GDP share of the overall economy will remain stable at 3%. Compared with 2022, franchises’ GDP — the monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within U.S. borders — will grow at a slightly slower pace of 4.2% to $521.3 billion.
Service-based industries and quick-service restaurants will witness higher growth than other industries.

On the state and regional level, the report shows that states have experienced different rates of franchise business growth due to disparities in business climates, migration trends, the labor market, and major industry investments. On the state level, it is predicted that:

States in the Southeast and Southwest will experience the fastest franchise business growth in 2023.
The top 10 states for franchise growth in 2023 are projected to be: Texas, Illinois, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Arizona, Colorado, and Indiana.
The Southeast region, which has the largest franchise concentration in the U.S., will have an estimated 234,079 total establishments by 2023, employing 2.5 million workers and contributing $250 billion in output to the U.S. economy.

“In spite of all the challenges, the cooperative nature of franchise businesses helped better insulate franchise owners from macro-economic uncertainty,” said Darrell Johnson, CEO of FRANdata. “Our team produced insight-driven forecasts leveraging our understanding of the franchise market and industry forces.”

Conducted by FRANdata, the 2023 Franchising Economic Outlook is IFA’s annual study detailing the franchise sector’s performance for the past year and projected economic outlook for the year ahead, as well as an in-depth state outlook for all 50 states and Washington, D.C.

According to Oxford Economics, franchises pay nearly 3 percent higher wages than similar independent companies and offer greater benefits and more generous leave. Franchising creates unparalleled entrepreneurial opportunities for underrepresented communities, and nearly one-third of franchise business owners say they wouldn’t own a business without franchising.

About the International Franchise Association:

Celebrating over 60 years of excellence, education, and advocacy, the International Franchise Association (IFA) is the world’s oldest and largest organization representing franchising worldwide. IFA works through its government relations and public policy, media relations, and educational programs to protect, enhance and promote franchising and the approximately 790,492 franchise establishments that support nearly 8.4 million direct jobs, $825.4 billion of economic output for the U.S. economy, and almost 3 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Anago Cleaning Systems Exceeding Targets In 2023

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-03-28T10:44:37-04:00March 28th, 2023|Tags: anago cleaning systems, commercial cleaning franchise system, commercial cleaning service, Master franchise opportunities|

Leading commercial cleaning franchisees set company record, collectively exceeding more than $100M in annual sales.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. — Anago Cleaning Systems recognized its U.S. and Canadian Master Franchise partners during its annual seminar in Pompano Beach, FL. The seminar’s highlight was the brand’s announcement that all Master Franchise territories had collectively met and exceeded last year’s $100M Challenge, which aimed at investing in people and technology. The $100M Challenge focused on increasing business processes, inflationary price protections, sales & leadership recruitment and training, and franchise development aimed at systems that make the dream of small business ownership a reality for more people.

This year, Anago inducted twelve Master Franchisees into the Million-Dollar Club, each producing at least $1M in revenues, with several exceeding this target. Additionally recognized were the Multi-Million Dollar Club inductees, which included ten territories reaching $2M, two with $3M in revenues, six with $4M, three earning $5M, one territory reaching $6M, and one with over $7M in revenues.

“In 2021, we launched the $100M Challenge promotion to help Master Franchise owners retain and strengthen their field teams to maintain and increase revenue across all national and international markets,” said Adam Povlitz, president and CEO of Anago Cleaning Systems. “The program has succeeded beyond our expectations and has now evolved into a target in excess of $300M within the next five years.”

The program aims to support the costs for owners to focus on human resources, not just technology, to expand businesses, and inspire entrepreneurs to launch unit franchise operations.

Careers In Aging Week: Executive Home Care Raises Awareness About Growing Senior Home Healthcare Demand, Franchise Opportunity

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Executive Home Care, one of the nation’s leading in-home care providers, is participating in Careers In Aging Week by raising awareness about the growing demand for senior home healthcare and the franchise opportunity available.

Every day, 10,000 Americans turn 65, and with life expectancies on the rise, this demographic will represent over 20% of our population by 2050. AARP’s recent Home And Communities Preferences Survey states 77 percent of older adults want to remain in their homes as they age.

According to Executive Home Care Brand President Kevin Porter, now is a great time to become part of the thriving home healthcare industry. “The aging population is increasing the demand for in-home care services,” he explained. “As a result, there’s never been a better time to consider a career in senior care and become a part of the Executive Home Care family.”

Porter noted that as a respected home healthcare brand, Executive Home Care offers a unique franchise opportunity for those looking to enter the senior care industry. “As a proven business model with valuable revenue streams, extensive training and support, and a commitment to providing exceptional care, Executive Home Care is the ideal choice for individuals looking to make a positive impact in their community,” he added.

Senen Cabalfin and Jeff Wolf, both Executive Home Care franchisees, share their reasons for choosing the franchise opportunity.

“As an operating room nurse, I found that the continuity of care was lacking compared to what I experienced in home care, says Cabalfin. “The personal interactions and the ability to build lasting relationships were what I valued most, which led me to transition to the home care specialty. This passion for providing personalized care is what inspired me to become an Executive Home Care franchisee.”

“I always wanted a career where I could help others,” adds Wolf. “With my Executive Home Care franchise, I quickly became an important and valuable resource in my community, delivering expert senior care that makes the real difference.”
