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

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. The financial program boosted sales rep hiring, continued sales and leadership training programs, positioned for inflationary pricing protection, and strengthened franchise development.

Anago recognized several territories trailblazing new paths in growth through 2022. Leading the way was Anago of Greater Philadelphia, earning the coveted “City of the Year” award for the fourth consecutive year with more than $1.5M added revenue over the previous year. Anago of Southern California was honored with the Most Franchises Sold category, while Anago of Denver received the Highest Percent Growth award with a 211% growth increase.

Anago Cleaning Systems is a pioneer of the Master Franchise system, providing valuable assistance, technologies, and critical marketing tools for professionals to operate their regional franchises while creating small business opportunities through its Unit Franchise system.

“Commercial cleaning franchise ownership is continuously on the rise in territories across the nation and into Canada due to an increased focus on meeting rising demand and positioning the company to meet that demand on all levels. The idea of small business ownership is stronger than in previous years despite global shifts in the economy. As we’ve experienced, home-based and mobile franchise businesses gained national interest as a viable and profitable venture and continue to gain momentum into 2023,” added Povlitz.

Anago Cleaning Systems relies on the brand’s core values to navigate the changing landscape and apply strategies to foster continued growth while implementing new and innovative technologies. Because of this strong business ethic, Anago has been consistently recognized within Entrepreneur’s suite of ranking systems, earning top placements throughout the past several years and in all the magazine’s main ranking systems. These include Fastest-Growing Franchise, Top-Tanked Franchises Under $50K, Top Home-Based Franchise, Top Global Franchise, and most recently, earning the #34 spot in Entrepreneurs Franchise 500. Anago Cleaning Systems’ continued inclusion within these rankings demonstrates the brand’s rising popularity with franchisees and clients.

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.”

About Executive Home Care

Executive Home Care is part of the Evive Brands family providing exceptional support and services to families and communities across the nation.

It would bring me a certain amount of happiness to help bring out the beauty and functionality in someone’s home or business.”

Jose said joining Gotcha Covered was a fantastic way to incorporate his business management and sales experience with Angela’s vision and eye for design.

Celebree School Debuts in Texas: Announces 7 Signed Franchise Agreements

Early Childhood Education Franchise Breaks into New State as Demand for Childhood Education Rises.

DALLAS — Celebree School, a leader in early childhood education that provides infant and toddler care, preschool, before and aftercare, and summer camp programs, is capitalizing on growth potential in Texas as demand for early childhood education continues to rise. The brand announces seven franchise agreements in development across the state, plus an additional 10 schools under future development agreements. All seven schools – across Austin, Dallas, and Houston – are projected to open by the end of 2024.

Texas leads the nation in population growth, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The state is now home to 30 million people – adding roughly half a million new residents since the summer of 2021. With that comes an increasingly large demand for families seeking premier early childhood education, and Celebree looks to fill that void.

First to open will be Celebree School of Dallas Arts District, projected to open in fall of 2023 at 2400 Bryan Street. Owner of this school is local Mockingbird Park resident, Mindi McClure. Prior to Celebree School, McClure spent the last three decades in investment and commercial banking. Ready for a career change, she sought out entrepreneurial opportunities where she would be able to make a powerful impact for children and families.

“I was eager to pursue the franchise opportunity and be the first franchisee to bring the Celebree brand to Texas,” said McClure. “Texas has a lot of growth, and I look forward to truly building a community of families. That’s what Celebree is all about, and we hope to bring that culture to life while providing the highest quality of childcare.”

On the heels of this opening will be growth in the below markets:

Dallas
- Three Celebree Schools opening summer/fall 2024
Houston
- Two Celebree Schools opening summer 2024
Austin
- One Celebree School opening summer 2024

Company leadership sees vast growth potential across Texas with opportunities to add 31 schools across Dallas, 28 schools in Houston, and eight schools in the Austin DMA.

To support the brand’s hyper-growth across the state, Celebree School has announced a corporate hub strategy that will bring corporate schools to Dallas by the end of 2023 and Houston by the end of 2024. The Dallas corporate hub lease was signed on March 15, 2023 at 5459 La Sierra Drive.

As Celebree School seeds the market with a corporate hub, the brand will have the opportunity to truly become a local expert. This will play a critical role in recruitment, enrollment, and training as part of franchisee onboarding and opening. These development efforts contribute to Celebree School’s aggressive expansion goal of opening 150 new schools over the next three years.

Today, Celebree has 26 corporate schools, 14 franchise locations, and 90-plus in various stages of future development. As franchise development continues to surge, Celebree School is looking for qualified and engaged individuals seeking single and multi-unit opportunities who are involved in their community, have a passion for childhood education, and are eager to explore the world of franchising.

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 with a focus on curriculum-based care that prepares your child for kindergarten and beyond.

Programs are available for children six weeks to 12-years-old with unique curriculums designed to develop positive social skills and values while allowing children to learn about their world through age-appropriate play, projects, and activities. Care is available part-time or full-time, and parents are allowed to drop in and visit at any time.

When franchisees invest with Celebree School, they’re investing in an organization with a strong culture, solid systems, and a proven business model backed with 28-plus years of experience in providing exceptional early childhood education.

Gray Fox Strategic became interested in investing with Zoom Drain after meeting the franchise team and recognizing the opportunity in the industry. Gray Fox Strategic prioritizes investing in sustainable businesses that have an impact on the entrepreneurs and leaders that are part of them.

“What drew us to Zoom Drain was that it checks all the boxes for a needs-based service business, it’s recession resistant, a niche industry with few competitors, and services both businesses and individuals,” said Ben McNabb, Gray Fox Strategic Partner who will be overseeing Zoom Drain of Charleston. “We are excited to build our reputation with the community of Charleston as a trusted service provider. South Carolina has many opportunities for growth and we plan to expand Zoom Drain in more markets across the state in the future.”

Zoom Drain provides around the clock residential and commercial service centering on drain and sewer cleaning, sewer pipe video inspections, grease trap maintenance and much more. From clogged sinks and bathtubs to main sewer line blockages, Zoom Drain utilizes five different drain cleaning machines and a custom hydro-jetter to tackle any sewage issue that arises. Customers include commercial property managers, contractors, plumbers and homeowners in need of immediate solutions to drain and sewage issues.

Zoom Drain prides itself on always providing swift, dependable service by expertly-trained specialists for both emergency and planned maintenance service needs – everything that has to do with wastewater management. Zoom Drain is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and there’s never any additional cost for “off hours” service such as nights, weekends, or even holidays.

“We are thrilled to have the Gray Fox team join Zoom Drain and bring their expert services to Charleston,” said Jim Criniti, CEO of Zoom Drain. “Drain and sewer emergencies are a nightmare for anyone, so offering skilled and reliable services to the Charleston community is a priority for us and we’re looking forward to growing our brand in the area and beyond.”
