The youth sport/fitness concept continues its nationwide expansion.

DENVER — Ninja Nation, the leading franchise provider of world-class, state-of-the-art obstacle course arenas, is continuing to expand its national presence, awarding a ten-unit deal in the great state of Texas. The announcement comes as the brand comes off an incredibly successful opening in Huntersville, North Carolina, and a three-unit franchise award in the Nashville, TN market. With the addition of their upcoming ten locations in Texas, Ninja Nation has quintupled its unit count to 15 and continues to expand the sport of Ninja and its presence as the largest Ninja concept in the country.

With five locations open across Colorado, Dallas-Fort Worth, and North Carolina, the brand is eager to expand to more cities in Texas. Ninja Nation is excited to offer its world-class obstacle courses, providing community members the opportunity to play, train, and compete in a state-of-the-art arena while developing skills, strength, and confidence. With the Texas Ninja community already being one of the strongest in the country, the brand expects to expand quickly, aiming to open its first location in Houston in the first half of 2022.

“We’re thrilled to partner with another amazing franchisee in the Texas market who shares our excitement for the sport of Ninja as well as our One Million Heroes mission,” said Wayne Cavanaugh, Founder of Ninja Nation. “With the popularity of the sport of Ninja sweeping the nation and the positive impact it’s having on kids’ lives, the demand for Ninja Nation has grown exponentially, adding to the momentum behind our rapid expansion.”

As the hit TV show, American Ninja Warrior and American Ninja Warrior Junior, their kids show, continue to pull in record ratings, more people want to play, train and compete in the sport of Ninja. With the demand for alternative youth sports and fitness experience-based businesses booming, Ninja Nation is accelerating its growth. The brand expects to award several additional franchise territories in the coming months and has the potential to sell out of franchise territories quickly.

The youth fitness concept aims to create over one million heroes through their ongoing mission to provide a fun, safe and engaging space where everyone can find that “hero” within themselves. To accomplish this, Ninja Nation has created an environment of positivity, encouragement, family fun, and building confidence through its development classes, open gym sessions, birthday parties, field trips, special events, competitions, and its mobile ninja obstacle course.

With a dedicated, knowledgeable, and supportive leadership team, Ninja Nation is searching for franchise partners looking to make a positive impact in their community and own a business that changes lives.

Leading computer and technology repair service franchise exhibiting at the 2021 Franchise Expo Houston.

HOUSTON — NerdsToGo, the leading computer and technology repair service franchise, is looking to expand its presence in the Greater Houston area by opening 15 new locations within the next year. To showcase the NerdsToGo franchise opportunity, the brand will attend the 2021 Franchise Expo Houston (Booth #115) taking place at the NRG Center Oct. 29-30.

“The Greater Houston area is one of the largest and most diverse business regions in the nation and we see tremendous growth potential in this market,” said Mark Jameson, chief support and development officer at Propelled Brands. “As the number of businesses choosing to work remotely continues to rise, tech service and repair is becoming a necessary and valuable resource. We are confident that with our proven business model, managed service plans, and the support and resources we provide, our franchisees will thrive.”

NerdsToGo is currently seeking qualified franchisees to be owner-operators and help the brand grow across the United States. 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 franchising sector forecasts to grow by seven percent by the end of 2021, with business services one of the sectors expected to accelerate that growth. 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.

Local Entrepreneur to Bring New Locations to Columbus & Dayton.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Hammer & Nails, a men’s grooming shop that provides haircuts, shaves and hand & foot care, in a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, is pleased to announce it has signed a multi-unit franchise agreement in Ohio with local entrepreneur Ryan Darner. Darner plans to open a Hammer & Nails location in Centerville, a suburb of Dayton, and Powell, a suburb of Columbus, Ohio with a goal to open the first location by Q3 2022, and the second to follow.

Darner, an Ohio native, has over 15 years of experience working in finance, investments, and real estate. When a Hammer & Nails location opened near his home, Darner decided to try it out. He was so impressed with the experience and VIP service that he knew he wanted to be part of expanding the franchise and saw the value in the exclusive membership model.

“Everyone looks to find the perfect place for a good haircut on a consistent basis, and once you find the right barber you are loyal to them,” said Darner. “I know a lot of guys that have the same mindset, so I wanted to bring an elevated and relaxing experience to men in the area that goes beyond just a haircut, a place where they can get a sports pedicure or straight razor shave while watching a football game on TV with a cocktail or beer in hand. Hammer & Nails provides guys with a great haircut and a great experience in a relaxing atmosphere. I am very excited to help bring Hammer & Nails to the Dayton and Columbus communities.”

The Hammer & Nails experience coming to Dayton and Columbus 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 included in the cost of the service. Shops have Direct TV, and every guest has a dedicated personal oversized device, remote and noise-cancelling BOSE headphones for entertainment during the visit.

“Ohio has been a huge success for Hammer & Nails and we are excited to have Ryan join our team,” said Jereme Shelton, Vice President of Franchise Development, Hammer & Nails. “As we continue to expand in the state, we knew Ryan would be the perfect fit, and we are excited to help him bring the Hammer & Nails brand to the Dayton and Columbus areas.”

As the only niche male grooming franchise available, Hammer & Nails has a first-to-market advantage in the ever-growing $21B male grooming industry. For more information about the Hammer & Nails franchise opportunity, visit https://hammerandnailsfranchise.com/.

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.

Sheets awarded for leadership of company and greater home healthcare industry throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

SUNRISE, Fla. — Interim HealthCare Inc., the nation’s leading franchise network of home care, senior care, home health and hospice and healthcare staffing services, announced that its CEO and President, Jennifer Sheets, was awarded Gold in the “CEO Achievers – Advocate of the Year” category at the 9th annual CEO World Awards. The award program celebrates the achievements of leaders, executives, and the management teams behind the year’s most outstanding initiatives and achievements, recognizing those who set industry benchmarks for excellence.

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.”

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. — After months of hard work and dedication from our team, Merlin Complete Auto Care is pleased to announce the launch of its new website at www.merlins.com!

Customer experience is something we value at Merlin Complete Auto Care. We want every customer to have a great impression of our brand and walk away knowing they received the best service. With that in mind, we crafted a brand-new website that is easy to navigate and since you can find all the necessary information you need it saves you time.

Our brand transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Getting our customers’ cars to 200,000 miles takes lots of care and commitment — and a little bit of magic. Our brand highlights the moments built from “Merlin Magic,” both with the car owner and the technicians that extend the life of the owner’s car. It is these moments that separate a traditional automotive service experience from a magical one.

Some key features of the new site to note are:

Advanced location searching
Updated offers by location
Robust appointment setting
Franchise opportunities

“We are excited to announce the launch of our new website,” said Valerie Zabriskie, Marketing Director at Merlin Complete Auto Care. “Our goal with this new website is to improve the customer’s journey through clear messaging of all our services and new navigation designed for ease of use.”

Merlin Complete Auto Care invites visitors to explore the new website allowing customers to fully see all the services Merlin has to offer.
