NerdsToGo Seeks Franchise Expansion in Michigan, With Goal Set to Develop 25 New Units in the Market

Leading computer and technology repair service franchise expands into a new market.

CARROLLTON, Texas — NerdsToGo, a leading computer and technology repair services franchise, is looking to expand its presence in Michigan by approximately 25 units, as demand for in-home technology solutions continues to rise.

“With more businesses offering remote work for their employees, NerdsToGo has an opportunity to expand now more than ever before,” said Mark Jameson, chief support and development officer at Propelled Brands. “We see great growth potential in the Michigan market and are confident that our proven business model along with the support and resources provided, will allow franchisees to thrive.”

The NerdsToGo business model has created a culture of excellence where Nerds are given the opportunity to grow and profit from their skills while offering a high standard of professional service to customers.

“NerdsToGo fills a gap that exists between the large corporate IT services companies and the mom and pop stores that are out there,” said Chuck Bailey, a new NerdsToGo franchise owner. “There are dozens, if not hundreds of mom and pop stores that are trying to meet the needs of consumers and small businesses. But, unfortunately, they do not have the full range of technical skills and, more importantly, the consistency of that service delivery to satisfy the needs of the consumers in the marketplace today.”

Prospective franchisees do not need experience in information technology but should have a strong desire to grow a successful business in their local community, developing relationships with small business owners to become their outsourced IT department.

The initial investment for a NerdsToGo franchise is approximately $146,200 – $217,050, including a $49,750 franchise fee. Ideal candidates have a net worth of $300,000, of which $80K is liquid. Additionally, NerdsToGo offers a special incentive for veterans and first responders, including paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers, sheriffs, and firefighters, including a 50% reduction on the franchise fee – a savings of $24,875.

About NerdsToGo

NerdsToGo, Inc. launched its original location in Guilford, CT in 2003 and quickly became the emerging leader in providing computer and technology-based services to both the small and medium-sized business market and the residential market. NerdsToGo began franchising in 2017 and quickly grew to 25 independently owned franchise locations in 16 states. In 2020, Fastsigns Holdings Inc. acquired GTN CAPITAL GROUP, LLC, the parent company of NerdsToGo.

In 2021, Propelled Brands was formed, the corporate umbrella that includes FASTSIGNS®, SIGNWAVE® in Australia where FASTSIGNS centers operate under the SIGNWAVE brand, NerdsToGo®, an emerging IT services franchise brand acquired in September 2020, and Suite Management Franchising, LLC, the parent company of MY SALON Suite and Salon Plaza in June 2021. With a focus on business-to-business franchises and the people behind those businesses, Propelled Brands will help each franchise confidently navigate forward based on their unique position, momentum and purpose.

NerdsToGo locations provide the total solution in computer and technology support to customers, and the company’s signature service is delivered by sending a Nerd onsite to customer locations in a well-branded, eye-catching Nerd Van. Customers can also receive service through remote support or by visiting a local NerdsToGo service center. NerdsToGo acts as the IT department for small to medium sized businesses by helping to design, implement and support IT networks, provide data backup & continuity services, cybersecurity solutions, cloud services, remote support, vendor management services and overall routine maintenance.

My wife and I had installed several window treatments in homes we owned and enjoyed it. That’s how we came to the decision that Gotcha Covered was for us.”

OKLAHOMA CITY — Express Employment Professionals, the leading global staffing provider franchise, announced today that it is accelerating franchise development across Australia and New Zealand. As part of its ongoing international expansion, the company is seeking qualified prospects to open new offices in markets such as Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Auckland and Christchurch who are eager to join a distinguished brand in a rapidly growing industry. Express, which currently has more than 850 locations throughout the U.S., Canada, and South Africa, entered the Oceania region last year with the acquisition of Frontline Recruitment Group, a recruiting and staffing company with 31 locations in Australia and three in New Zealand.

Express’ aggressive growth plans for Australia and New Zealand are driven by an unprecedented demand for staffing experts amid the continued global labor shortage, coupled with the brand’s ongoing success. By specializing in providing a full range of employment solutions for every industry — from skilled trades to light industrial, office services, professional and more — Express helps place the right people in the right jobs and has put nine million people to work worldwide since 1983.

The brand ended 2020 with 61 total franchise agreements signed and systemwide annual sales topping out $3.23 billion. In 2021, the company has awarded 55 offices year-to-date to open in the U.S., Canada and Canberra, Australia.

“Over the course of the nearly four decades Express has been in business, we have developed a robust franchisee support program that helps set our owners up for long-term success. Between back office support, payroll funding and site selection assistance, to new owner sales coaching programs and marketing support, we are with our franchisees every step of the way and continue to provide ongoing education, resources and network support far beyond the opening of their office,” said Vinny Provenzano, Vice President of Franchising. “With unlimited potential for success, it’s an exciting time to be a part of our early growth in Australia and New Zealand.”

Express Employment Professionals is the number-one flexible staffing franchise for people, communities and businesses. The company works with job seekers to help them find the right job for their skills and experience, and annually employs over 552,000 people across 850+ franchise locations worldwide.

Express’s long-term goal of putting a million people to work annually is at the heart of its company’s vision: to help as many people as possible find good jobs by helping as many clients as possible find good people.

Hammer & Nails Inks Franchise Deal to Bring the First-of-its-Kind Men’s Grooming Shop to Georgia

Tatyana Stemkovski2021-12-06T11:22:16-05:00December 6th, 2021|Tags: Hammer & Nails Grooming Shop for Guys, men's grooming shop, personal care franchise|

Local Entrepreneurs to Open Exclusive Oasis in the Atlanta Area; first in the state of Georgia.

ATLANTA — Hammer & Nails, the luxury destination for exceptional men’s grooming experiences, has inked a franchise deal with Atlanta-natives Lorenzo Jackson and Tarris Scott. The entrepreneurial duo will bring hand and foot care, haircuts and shaves in a man cave nirvana to Atlanta, with plans to open in Q1 of 2022, in Midtown.

Best friends since middle school, Jackson and Scott have seen the Atlanta area grow and become an area of massive development and the perfect spot for their newest business endeavor. Jackson who holds an MBA and is a director of sales at a local health care company, and Scott who has been teaching in the DeKalb County School District for over 20 years, came across the Hammer & Nails brand on an episode of Shark Tank and knew it would be a perfect fit for the Atlanta area.

“Lorenzo and I have been friends for decades, and after looking for our next business venture we knew Hammer & Nails was for us,” said Scott. “Midtown is a bustling part of the Atlanta area with a lot of new businesses setting up shop, but and nothing like Hammer & Nails exists making it the textbook area to open the brand. Additionally, as a teacher, this endeavor helps show other educators there can be another future beyond the classroom and retirement.”

The Hammer & Nails experience is unlike any other. The atmosphere is low-lit, with soft ambient lighting throughout the shop. Exterior windows are tinted for privacy and the interior is furnished with dark wood and steel, creating a relaxing vibe. Members are greeted by name, escorted to a luxurious oversized Bison leather chair, and handed a menu with complimentary beverages ranging from an ice-cold water to McAllen’s whiskey, all of which is included in the service cost. Every guest has a personal TV, remote and noise-cancelling headphones for entertainment during his visit.

“We cannot wait to get our doors open and start offering grooming services to the men of Atlanta,” said Jackson. “With Midtown being a busy part of the area, about a block or two from Georgia Tech University and surrounded by high rise condos and high foot traffic, we’re can’t wait to be the oasis for men to get away from their busy lives and indulge in essential pampering and relaxation.”

Hammer & Nails has a first-to-market advantage in the ever-growing $21B male grooming industry as the only niche male grooming franchise available.

“We are thrilled to have Lorenzo and Tarris bring the first Hammer & Nails location to the state of Georgia and join our brand during such a key moment of growth,” said Jereme Shelton, Vice President of Franchise Development, Hammer & Nails. “Offering hand and foot care and grooming services all under one roof is sure to revolutionize personal care in the Atlanta area. We know with the brand’s trend-setting atmosphere and unique service offerings; this new shop will surely become a community staple. Men in Atlanta will have never looked or felt better.”

About Hammer & Nails

Hammer & Nails was founded in 2013 with the vision to provide hand and foot care, manicures and pedicures, haircuts and shaves to every type of male. After launching its franchise opportunity in 2015, the brand has built an unrivaled experience that’s disrupting the men’s grooming industry and revolutionizing the way guys get their groom on, quickly becoming the premier destination for men’s grooming experiences in a relaxed environment. Hammer & Nails has awarded licenses for more than 200 shops and is working to have 150 locations open and operating by 2025.

WOWorks Restaurant Brands Finalizes 12 Co-Branded Franchise Agreements and Openings in 10 States in 2021

Better-For-You, Fast-Casual Restaurant Brands’ Experience Growth of its Co-Branding Restaurant Concepts in Traditional Franchise Spaces, Grocery Stores and other Non-Traditional Verticals.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The WOWorks family of restaurant brands, Saladworks, Frutta Bowls, Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh and The Simple Greek, experienced growth of its co-branded restaurant concepts in 2021 with six locations opening and six additional franchise agreements signed across ten states by the end of the year.

“We are seeing an accelerated growth in co-branded WOWorks restaurants because our healthy-halo brands meet growing menu and flavor demands, and have the flexibility in size and operation to open alongside current restaurants and inside many non-traditional spaces,” said Eric Lavinder, Chief Development Officer for WOWorks. “By sharing a front and back-end, co-branded restaurants can build-out more efficiently to open quicker, have lower operating costs, and cover more dayparts to attract more guests and generate sales.”

In December, a Saladworks and Frutta Bowls co-branded restaurant will open in West Bloomfield, MI, a first for both brands in the state. Another co-branded location will open in Middletown, DE, where an existing Saladworks restaurant will add Frutta Bowls. And, for the first time, a Frutta Bowls restaurant coming to Hermitage, PA, will add on Saladworks to become a co-branded restaurant.

Several store-within-a-store co-branded restaurants are also part of this growth, such as Saladworks and Frutta Bowls co-branded restaurants opening in grocery stores in and around the Philadelphia area. In addition, an existing store-within-a-store Saladworks restaurant in a ShopRite store in Staten Island, NY, is also adding Frutta Bowls to create a co-branded restaurant. A current Philadelphia-based Fresh Grocer already has a co-branded Saladworks and Frutta Bowls restaurant as well.

On top of the co-branded openings in 2021, WOWorks signed additional co-branded restaurant agreements this year, including locations in Reno, NV, and San Juan Capistrano, CA; both are slated to open in the spring. An existing Saladworks restaurant in Morgantown, WV also signed an agreement to add on Frutta Bowls in 2022. Other Saladworks and Frutta Bowls co-branded restaurant agreements include a location in Norfolk, VA, and a three-location signing in Draper, UT, which will open one co-branded restaurant in 2022 and the other two at a later date.

With the support of her team, as well as the clinical and operational excellence of the more than 300 Interim HealthCare offices who represent the First in Home Care^® brand, Jennifer Sheets has worked relentlessly to uphold the highest standards of safety and care within the home healthcare industry. Jennifer’s foresight in early 2020 ensured that Interim HealthCare was well-positioned to provide vital care services during the pandemic, while keeping both staff and patients safe. With her leadership, the company spearheaded the development of detailed guidance and resources to provide care for COVID-19 patients through Interim HealthCare’s HomeLife Enrichment^® standard of care, which creates a customized care plan to support a patient’s full mind, body, spirit and family. In addition, Jennifer and her team established programs that helped facilitate the partnership between hospitals and home healthcare, working to transition medically complex cases from hospitals into home healthcare settings to alleviate recurrent patient surges on ICU resources.

Jennifer has also been integral to the continued success of building awareness of and advocacy for the home healthcare industry throughout 2020 and 2021. Advocating at both the federal and state levels for “essential” worker status of America’s 3.2 million home healthcare workers, Jennifer helped ensure these professionals were part of the country’s response to and continued recovery from the pandemic. With her team, she also established the industry’s only website for sourcing personal protective equipment (PPE) when resources were incredibly difficult to procure, distributing an estimated three million units of critical PPE items to more than 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and five other countries.

“I am humbled to be recognized as an Advocate of the Year by the CEO World Awards,” said Jennifer Sheets, CEO and president of Interim HealthCare. “Home healthcare is an indispensable part of our healthcare system and I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue elevating both the industry’s unique value and Interim HealthCare’s role within it.”
