Leading Health and Wellness Concept Sets Sights on National Presence in the New Year.

WILMINGTON, N.C. — Clean Eatz, the one-of-a-kind health and wellness restaurant concept recognized as one of the fastest-growing franchise brands in its sectors, has proven restless over the course of 2021. Widely regarded and recognized for its uniquely-held mission of helping consumers in their pursuit of achieving a healthier, more balanced lifestyle through the incorporation of the brands prepackaged food options and meal plans, the company has only continued to expand over the past twelve months as franchisees buy into the concept in droves for its unrivaled benefits.

With 70 units now in operation and an additional 70 in development, the Clean Eatz team has a fair deal to celebrate closing out 2021. Such a prized benchmark has set ambitions high for the growth of the franchise in 2022, with the goal of reaching 100 units in operation and 100 in development over the course of the next twelve months. It’s anticipated that the expansion of Clean Eatz into new markets will be a leading component in reaching that goal.

Health and wellness has taken center stage amid the trials of the pandemic, leading more people than ever to turn their attention to the Clean Eatz brand, hoping that the convenience and availability of its café and kitchen offerings will help them in introducing a higher degree of fitness and nutrition into their everyday lives. As such, recent years have seen a heightened interest from prospective franchisees who believe in and embody what it means to be a part of the Clean Eatz family, igniting a true movement in the franchise field.

“The message that the Clean Eatz team is working to convey to the public is simple. We change lives. And towards that end, the driving force behind our daily operations is working to bring our brand to as many locales as possible,” said Don Varady, Co-Founder of Clean Eatz. “By doing so, we will not only succeed in furthering the reach of the health benefits inherent in our product line, but in establishing Clean Eatz as a leader in the restaurant franchise industry.”

Franchisees within the Clean Eatz system tend to be fitness enthusiasts first, entrepreneurs second. The like-minded values and purpose behind the franchise are what bring them to the table, and it’s the value of the brands five revenue stream model that keeps them interested. This robust mode of income allows franchisees to yield net profits through dine-in, grab ‘n go, catering, marketplace, and meal plan selections, affording them the flexibility to drive brand awareness on an individual basis while enjoying a simplified management style.

N-Hance Wood Refinishing Sets Sights on New World of Opportunities in 2022, Aims to Award 40 Franchises

Leader in Cabinet Refinishing & Hardwood Floor Continues to Capitalize on Pandemic-Induced Home Remodeling Surge.

LOGAN, Utah — Consumer demand for home improvement projects remains steadfast – especially as the pandemic-inflected increase in time spent around the house becomes the norm and home costs continue to rise across the country. N-Hance Wood Refinishing® has seen the demand first-hand with some franchise owners reporting double digit increases in consumer leads year-over-year. Prospective franchisees are taking note as N-Hance closed out 2021 with more than 25 new franchise openings and projects to award 40 franchises this year.

While homeowners turned to Do-It-Yourself projects throughout 2020 and 2021, there’s a trend in leaving projects such as big kitchen remodels, home office, and flooring to the professionals, according to the Lending Indicator of Remodeling Activity.

N-Hance’s multi-service offerings model continues to drive revenue for franchisees, while providing customers with quality work. For example, Cabinet Door Replacement has helped grow N-Hance’s average ticket price to nearly $5,000 over the past few years, while reducing labor. Around 53% of its franchisees are offering this service through N-Hance’s preferred vendor, with it generating around 27% of their revenue. All of N-Hance’s cabinet services offerings account for 79% of total revenue.

“With a strong consumer demand for large-scale home renovations, we have worked hard to equip our franchisees with the right tools and resources to deliver on every project and consumer need,” said D’Wayne Tanner, Senior Vice President of Franchise Sales. “Their success is our success. We had a great 2021 which has put us in a position to have an even better 2022. We look forward to raising the bar and accelerating our development strategy, leveraging the surge in the home services industry to continue to meet all of our growth and performances goals.”

The brand’s achievements have not gone unnoticed as the franchise industry has honored N-Hance with several recent award wins including earning a spot on Franchise Time’s prestigious 2021 Top 400 ranking that names the largest U.S.-based franchise systems by systemwide sales to better encompass the biggest brands in franchising along with promising concepts in growth mode.

N-Hance sets the industry standard for hardwood refinishing. Helping lead the company’s growth is its one of a kind “Lightspeed® instant curing system” for hardwood cabinets and floors which saves customers time and money over the traditional refinishing, refacing or replacing alternatives. Decades of experience paired with backing by franchise powerhouse, BELFOR Franchise Group makes N-Hance a proven investment opportunity that is primed for growth in this new era fueled by self and home-improvement.

In the midst of the booming home services industry, N-Hance franchisees have an advantage through access to one of the most comprehensive initial and ongoing training programs in the industry. N-Hance is also an affordable, highly scalable opportunity with strong profit-potential. The initial investment to begin operations of a new N-Hance franchise ranges from $52,369 to $168,747, and the top quartile of franchisees average over $840,000.

Massage Heights Franchising Reports Record Revenues as More People Seek Wellness & Healing

Tatyana Stemkovski2022-01-05T10:38:06-05:00January 5th, 2022|Tags: balanced and healthy lifestyle, Massage Heights, membership-based therapeutic services, pain management, reduction of stress, relaxation, skin therapy services, therapeutic massage and facial services|

Leading Spa Franchise Shows Massages & Facials on the Rise for New & Existing Members.

SAN ANTONIO — Massage Heights Franchising has experienced dramatic revenue growth as people are becoming more focused on their health and well-being more than ever before. The rising surge of therapeutic massage and facials reflect the increased desire to improve one’s self-care. A combination of stress, anxiety, skin problems along with the need for “human touch” has created unprecedented demand for massages and skincare services at Massage Heights Retreat franchises throughout North America.

Massage Heights Franchising reports consistent spikes in appointments across all categories of massages as well as skincare services including a selection of therapeutic facials. Massage revenues are up more than 20 percent and facial revenues up more than 30 percent over 2019 (the latest “normal” year for comparison). Massage Heights Franchising celebrates a +85% increase in the number of Retreats exceeding $1M in AUV (Average Unit Volume) for 2021.

“Our purpose has always been to elevate the lives of our members, franchisees, therapists and estheticians. It’s especially gratifying to know that during these stressful times, we have the ability to heal and help more people than ever before,” said Massage Heights CEO and President Susan Boresow, noting that revenue dues from memberships are up nearly 17 percent over 2019.

As new memberships are increasing, existing member retention is also at an all-time high. Boresow added, “Our members really appreciate our roll-over credit model that builds up benefits – if you don’t use it, you don’t lose it. From our quality linens, high-end tables to essential oils and free aromatherapy, it’s all about creating that personalized relaxing experience. Members consistently return to their go-to therapist who takes the time to know and address their specific needs.”

Based on demand, the growing wellness brand is also seeing heightened interest in its franchise opportunity. With its rising AUV, Massage Heights Franchising expects to double in size by the end of 2025 and has identified multi-unit opportunities within every major market. The brand is looking to expand its Retreats through the east coast, Midwest and prime territory within Arizona and Colorado. Resales have also proven to be an effective way for new franchisees who are seeking to enter a market with an existing customer base, while gearing up to expand within the territory.

As the uptick has clearly been positive for Massage Heights’ franchisees, it has also created career opportunities for more massage therapists and estheticians. Earlier this year, the brand announced the hiring of massage industry veteran CG Funk as Senior Vice President of Culture & Industry Relations for Massage Heights to further support the work of massage therapists and estheticians and increase awareness on the purpose and value of these wellness careers.

Massage Heights will launch an exciting new podcast and video show early this year to be hosted by Funk called “Outside the Room” focused on recruitment, retention and culture for therapists and estheticians.

About Massage Heights

The massage franchise started in 2004 and has grown to more than 120 Retreats throughout North America by providing personalized wellness treatment options through therapeutic massage and skincare services. Massage Heights is a family-owned massage and wellness franchise dedicated to elevating the lives of others by providing Members and Guests with professional, affordable and resort-quality massage, skincare and wellness services.

The national home care company recognizes Cathy Cahill for her selflessness in caring for clients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

MCHENRY, Ill. — FirstLight Home Care, an award-winning provider of non-medical home care, has named Cathy Cahill of McHenry, Ill. as its National Caregiver of the Year.

Cahill was recognized during a ceremony at FirstLight’s national conference in Salt Lake City, Utah last month. She was nominated for the award by Sande Sherman, the owner of FirstLight Home Care of McHenry County.

“Cathy is the embodiment of what people look for when they want to hire a caregiver,” Sherman said. “She is selfless, flexible and invested. When the husband of one of our clients was hospitalized due to COVID-19 complications, Cathy put her life on hold to stay with his wife, who has dementia and was also COVID positive. Cathy even slept in the same room with the wife to ensure her safety and comfort.”

“Cathy is also our go-to when we need someone to fill in. She really gets to know her clients’ special preferences and brings them their favorite ice cream, soup or candy bar,” Sherman said. “She is a treasured member of our FirstLight family and absolutely deserves this recognition because she is living our culture every day.”

Nominations for the award were received from FirstLight offices across the United States. Caregiver of the Year nominees were evaluated based on dependability, advocacy, empathy, quality of service and compassion toward clients.

FirstLight caregivers help seniors and other adults in need of assistance with personal care and household duties such as cooking, cleaning and running errands. The FirstLight franchise network includes nearly 200 independently owned and operated home care locations across the U.S. and Canada.

She has exceptional clinical judgment and compassion in caring and is trusted among her peers and leadership to manage the most complex of clinical needs.

Having access to quality occupational therapy in the home is a critical part of the care continuum, as it places patients on the path to improved health and wellness and can prevent hospitalizations. Therapists also play an integral role on the care team and in helping people regain their mobility and independence.

Therapists like Sonia who are dedicated to the excellence of in-home care are changing the way Americans view healthcare. Recent data from Interim HealthCare and The Harris Poll revealed that 65% of Americans would have considered home healthcare as an alternative to a hospital stay in the past if they had known it was an option. This is one of many recent data points gathered, showcasing the shifting mindset of consumers regarding home healthcare.

“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to help patients overcome challenges in their daily lives,” said Sonia Berry. “In all aspects of healthcare, the outcome of the patient is always the main priority and helping patients find their way back to health and happiness is extremely rewarding. I’m honored to be recognized as Therapist of the Year and look forward to continuing to provide the best care to my community.”

In honor of the work that therapists like Sonia do in the home healthcare setting, Interim HealthCare celebrated National Home Care & Hospice Month by inviting the public to discover the unique benefits and full continuum of care available with home healthcare through its campaign, “The Difference is Home.”
