LearningRx Brain Training ‘Survives and Thrives During Pandemic,’ Reports BOSS Magazine

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — LearningRx (www.LearningRx.com), the largest one-on-one brain training company in the world, was featured in BOSS Magazine’s article, “The Year in Franchising.” The piece focuses on a variety of businesses that attempted to navigate changes brought on by the pandemic and includes a quote from LearningRx CEO Kim Hanson.

The article touches on LearningRx being named to Franchise Business Review’s “Top Education Franchises in High Demand During a Pandemic” due to the company’s focus on helping students avoid falling behind this academic school year.

“One of the reasons we’ve managed to thrive during the pandemic is because our brain training programs can also be done virtually,” explains Hanson. “LearningRx clients can choose to complete sessions in person at a LearningRx Brain Training Center or online. The online option allows clients to train from the comfort of their own home while still receiving the benefits of one-on-one brain training. By targeting and training weak brain skills—such as memory, attention, and auditory processing—our programs help strengthen the root cause of learning struggles to make learning faster and easier in any subject.”

To help determine why a student struggles, families can schedule a Cognitive Skills Assessment. If the results determine weak cognitive skills, a personalized brain training program may help strengthen the foundational cognitive skills to make learning (and life) easier.

Conserva Irrigation Announces Accelerated Growth Plans and a New Partnership with Franchise FastLane to Increase its Expansion Across the United States

Tatyana Stemkovski2021-01-11T13:22:41-05:00January 11th, 2021|Tags: Conserva Irrigation, outdoor irrigation company, proprietary irrigation auditing system, reduce water consumption, Toro water-efficient products, water conservation|

Revolutionary Water Conservation Focused Irrigation Company Plans Accelerated Expansion After Reaching 100 Locations in Three Years and Posting Significant 2020 Sales Growth.

RICHMOND, Va. — Conserva Irrigation, the only national outdoor irrigation company founded on the concept of water conservation, announced today it has partnered with the country’s leading franchise sales organization, Franchise FastLane, as part of its strategy to significantly accelerate the growth of the business throughout the United States.

This comes shortly after Conserva Irrigation announced just last month that, as the largest and first-to-market franchise in the irrigation industry, it had eclipsed 100 territories operationally. Conserva Irrigation operates underneath the Outdoor Living Brands umbrella organization, a franchise company that has successfully scaled four similar exterior home services franchises.

After testing the business model in various pilot markets for five years, Conserva Irrigation was launched as a franchise by Outdoor Living Brands in mid-2017. Chris Grandpre, Chairman & CEO of Outdoor Living Brands, said “we’ve admired Franchise FastLane’s ability to deliver exponential franchise growth to its partner brands. After methodically testing the Conserva Irrigation business model for five years and then building it to a 100+ unit franchise system over the last three years, our organization is ready to support the exponential growth that we’re confident Franchise FastLane will deliver. We’ve invested in the support team and support systems and have the experience and track record gained from our other brands to handle an increased pace of new Conserva franchise location openings. In light of how selective Franchise FastLane is, we’re thrilled to partner with them for this next chapter of our growth.”

According to Carey Gille, President of Franchise FastLane, “we conducted preliminary due diligence on over 200 franchise brands in 2020, but brought on less than ten as new brand partners. We are extremely selective in search of the most compelling franchise opportunities. We look for concepts with strong unit economics for franchisees, attractive ROI’s, happy and successful franchisees who support the brand’s growth, and a franchisor willing and able to support the expedited growth that Franchise FastLane will bring. Outdoor Living Brands has a proven track record and experience scaling franchise businesses. That track record and financial strength, combined with Conserva’s first-to-market positioning and its differentiated business model makes this a compelling franchise offering for Franchise FastLane to represent.”

Labeled as an essential business amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Conserva Irrigation’s rapid growth can be credited to innovation, teamwork and culture, and the strength of its business model and proprietary processes to audit irrigation systems. Conserva’s methodology includes a quantitative rating of the water efficiency of an irrigation system called the System Efficiency Score or “SES”.

The SES allows a residential or commercial property owner to understand how much water their sprinkler systems are wasting, as well as to understand what repairs and improvements need to be made to reduce water consumption and lower water bills while keeping turf and plant material healthy.

“Conserva Irrigation is proud to be the industry leader in providing responsible, water-efficient irrigation solutions to our clients, while helping our franchisees to build vibrant businesses that allow them to achieve their personal career, lifestyle and financial goals,” stated Russ Jundt, founder of Conserva Irrigation and brand leader of the business unit under Outdoor Living Brands. “We are excited to have the opportunity to accelerate the pace of adding new franchisees and locations to our system in partnership with Franchise FastLane.”

In addition to its growth, Conserva Irrigation recently jumped more than 1,400 spots in last year’s Inc. 5000 ranking, which lists companies based on their percentage of revenue growth from 2016 to 2019. Conserva Irrigation also experienced its highest sales months in June and July 2020 since the company’s inception in 2010. With a successful track record, Conserva Irrigation has remained nimble during the pandemic to sustain company growth. It adjusted field operating procedures and launched virtual franchisee training this year allowing it to continue its supporting new franchise openings while maintaining social distancing requirements.

Conserva Irrigation is planning expansion throughout the United States and continues to seek single- and multi-unit franchise operators with a range of corporate experience, independent or franchise business owners looking for diversification opportunities, and irrigation companies seeking to align with Conserva’s proven business model and systems. Incentives are also available for veterans, multi-territory agreements, and those with existing irrigation businesses.

Interim HealthCare Inc. Names 2020 Therapist of the Year

Tatyana Stemkovski2021-01-08T12:19:24-05:00January 8th, 2021|Tags: homecare services, hospice and healthcare staffing services, Interim HealthCare, senior care|

Ethan Sowell of Easley, South Carolina commended for going above and beyond to safely rehabilitate patients at home to protect them from COVID-19 exposure risks.

SUNRISE, Fla. — Interim HealthCare Inc., the nation’s leading franchise network of home care, senior care, home health and hospice and healthcare staffing services, names Ethan Sowell, physical therapist, as the 2020 Therapist of the Year. Ethan earned widespread appreciation from patients and leaders for his commitment to delivering compassionate care and supporting the mission of Interim HealthCare of the Upstate in South Carolina.

This honor is given to an individual who embodies Interim HealthCare’s core values of integrity, compassion and customer focus. Physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, physical therapy assistants and certified occupational therapy assistants were all eligible to receive the award.

“Ethan consistently receives compliments about his dedication and compassion from his patients and their families,” said Katherine Craven, RN, clinical manager for Interim HealthCare of the Upstate. “We greatly appreciate his professionalism and how he consistently goes above and beyond for his patients and to further the mission of our home healthcare agency.”

Since joining Interim HealthCare of the Upstate in 2018, Ethan quickly advanced to become a therapy lead. He also trains new therapists on home healthcare essentials, the importance of following orthopedic physician protocols, and how to use the company’s electronic medical record system.

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

This year, Ethan also helped patients and their families navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. This work included ensuring that a patient recovering from a brain tumor removal received the expert rehabilitation needed at home to prevent a transfer to a hospital or long-term care facility with higher infection risks.

“I’m honored to be named as the 2020 Therapist of the Year,” said Ethan Sowell. “I chose home healthcare as the site of my physical therapy work because I get to build more personal relationships to help patients rehabilitate from a wide variety of medical conditions where they feel most comfortable, and where healthcare outcomes are improved. It makes me happy to have a rewarding career that enables me serve and support others.”

To find more future award-winning employees, Interim HealthCare also recently launched its ‘Made for This‘ recruiting campaign. The company seeks employees for a range of career paths from paraprofessionals (home health, hospice and support aides) to LPNs, RNs, therapists, and CNAs. Interim HealthCare is also recruiting service-oriented people wanting to transition from other industries, or those looking to change healthcare careers to gain more flexibility and autonomy.

Melissa Williams of Tallahassee, Florida recognized for her compassion toward clients and career committed to caregiving.

SUNRISE, Fla. — Interim HealthCare Inc., the nation’s leading franchise network of home care, senior care, home health and hospice and healthcare staffing services, names Melissa Williams, HHA/CNA, as its 2020 Paraprofessional of the Year.

This honor is given to an individual that provides exemplary patient care and continuously demonstrates the H.E.A.R.T. qualities of Interim HealthCare paraprofessionals, which stands for Honorable, Experience, Ability, Reliability and Training.

Melissa’s work in Interim Healthcare of Tallahassee’s senior independent living facility consists of seeing 10-13 patients a day for short visits focused on wellness checks and medication reminders. Despite challenges brought on by COVID-19, Melissa has remained dedicated to her work and extremely diligent about keeping her multiple clients safe from infection. In addition, she consistently brainstorms ways for her team to better serve patients, such as being at the forefront of the staff’s adoption of Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) and mobile device documentation earlier in the year.

“Melissa has been an excellent home health aide and member of our team for over five years. But over the past eight months especially, she has led the way for our team to improve processes and introduce substantial modifications to our workflows,” said Cynthia Lavoie, owner of Interim HealthCare of Tallahassee. “The efficiency, stamina, and personal interaction that she brings to each of her clients, six days a week, is truly admirable. Her clients genuinely look forward to seeing her every day and we are so lucky to have a caregiver like Melissa on our staff.”

Melissa is also invested in her education and was the first of Interim HealthCare of Tallahassee’s employees to complete the company’s Care Professional Development Path for Aides program, also known as the Pin program. The program allows employees to earn specializations through continuing education to expand their career path in caregiving, earning raises for each level accomplished. Thanks to her credentialed knowledge base, Melissa is the first person assigned to assist new clients in the senior independent living facility, and is also frequently asked to train new staff.

Melissa’s advancement within the company is a testament to Interim HealthCare’s commitment to professional career expansion. First in Home Care®, the home healthcare leader provides advancement opportunities for all caregivers, including aides, with specialized training and professional certifications to improve clinical outcomes, as well as business and operations opportunities. As Melissa found, home healthcare is the perfect setting for those who enjoy serving others, are selfless, trustworthy, lead with compassion, and are dependable workers both independently and as part of care team.

“I’m honored to be chosen as Interim HealthCare’s 2020 Paraprofessional of the Year, and to contribute to improving people’s lives through caregiving,” said Melissa. “The sense of purpose that I feel coming into work every day is what inspires me to keep growing in my career, and I’m grateful to Interim HealthCare for providing the resources to help me achieve that.”

Combined Company will be Leading Boutique Boxing Franchise with 166 Clubs and More than 65K Members and Digital Subscribers.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. and OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — BoxUnion, a California-based fitness boxing brand, announced today that it has acquired TITLE Boxing Club (TITLE), a fitness studio with 166 clubs across the United States, Mexico and the Dominican Republic specializing in boxing and kickboxing fitness classes. The transaction was backed by Kwanza Jones & José E. Feliciano SUPERCHARGED Initiative (KJSI), BoxUnion’s lead investor, plus other existing shareholders. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The acquisition brings together the best of both worlds, combining BoxUnion’s innovative programing with TITLE’s brand awareness. Founded in 2016 by Todd Wadler and Felicia Alexander, BoxUnion has experienced significant membership and subscriber growth due to its accessible, inventive and effective approach to boxing. This approach integrates music, mindfulness and community into a meticulously programmed class structure. In April of 2020, the brand launched BoxUnion Digital, which brings the BoxUnion in-studio class experience to subscribers anywhere in the world.

As a result of the acquisition, Wadler takes over as CEO and Alexander will continue in her role as the Chief Revenue Officer of the combined company. TITLE Boxing Club’s ownership team will remain equity holders in the new company and consists of two International Franchise Association (IFA) Entrepreneur of the Year recipients, three IFA chairpersons, and one IFA Hall of Famer. This includes a powerhouse of best-in-class franchise industry leaders including former CEO John Rotche, David Barr, Shelly Sun, Doc Cohen, and NFL superstar and future Hall of Famer Drew Brees. In addition, Rotche will continue to serve on the board of the combined company. Brooke Budke, who is currently TITLE Boxing Club’s Vice President of Marketing, will take over as President, Franchise System.

“TITLE Boxing Club is the biggest player in the fitness boxing and kickboxing category. Our goal is to triple the studio base while also providing a state-of-the-art, engaging digital experience to the at-home market,” said Wadler. “We are excited to bring together TITLE Boxing Club’s scale and brand awareness with BoxUnion’s culture of innovation to drive the first, true omni-channel fitness boxing offering to millions of consumers anytime, anywhere. I’m thrilled to partner with the TITLE Boxing Club team, the franchisees and all the partners within the TITLE Boxing Club brand as we embark on the next stage of growth.”

“As studio operators ourselves, Todd and I understand firsthand the impact this sport can have on building a local community and empowering people to throw a punch at the daily challenges life throws our way,” said Alexander. “Now more than ever, it is critical to provide an outlet for the stress millions of people are going through. We have members that have been outspoken about how BoxUnion has helped alleviate depression and build confidence. With more than 65,000 members and digital subscribers, the combined company will now be able to provide this experience to more people than ever.”

Wadler spent over 20 years in finance and co-founded Moelis & Company, a publicly traded, leading global independent investment bank and asset management firm. Passionate about fitness, he saw an opportunity to grow the market in fitness boxing. Alexander boasted a successful career as a sales and marketing executive for companies including Sun Microsystems, Sony, Mattel, and Demand Media. She is deeply passionate about boxing as a vehicle to change people’s lives, having put on gloves for the first time at 16 shortly after her father’s sudden death.

“The popularity of fitness boxing and kickboxing is growing rapidly. I set out on a deliberate path to find a promising boxing brand to accelerate our growth,” said Rotche. “Todd and Felicia’s collective dedication to revolutionizing the fitness boxing category make them the ideal new owners for TITLE Boxing Club and the optimal partner to our passionate franchisees. The two brands integrate seamlessly due to their commitment to the same core demographic and bringing the mental and physical benefits of boxing to all ages, genders, and experience levels.”

“You can expect us to expand our fitness offering with the added leadership of the BoxUnion team. Currently 81% of our locations are open and provide a safe, no-touch boxing workout for people looking to destress, get results, feel better, and gain confidence,” said Budke. “With demand for health and wellness at the highest it’s ever been, we have plans to expand into new markets, giving future franchisees an amazing opportunity to turn their passion into a profession. We adamantly believe in providing the most effective workout, in local communities and online. I look forward leading the charge for the next phase of growth in our franchise system.”

Kwanza Jones, co-founder of KJSI said, “We always look for opportunities to build mutually beneficial powerful partnerships. The BoxUnion and TITLE Boxing Club combination is just that. This investment aligns perfectly with two of KJSI’s focus areas: entrepreneurship and empowerment. Our franchisees are entrepreneurs and 70 percent of our consumers are women. We look forward to boosting opportunities for existing and new franchisees as they support our consumers on their health and fitness journey.”

Hammer & Nails Signs 19-Unit Franchise Deal to Bring Men’s Grooming Shops to Florida

Tatyana Stemkovski2021-01-05T13:00:45-05:00January 5th, 2021|Tags: Hammer & Nails Grooming Shop for Guys, men's grooming shop, personal care franchise|

Area Developer to Open Two Naples Locations, Develop 17 Locations Along Florida’s West Coast.

NAPLES, Fla. — Hammer & Nails Grooming Shop for Guys, 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 record area developer agreement with finance and operations executive Rick Sander. Sander will open two grooming shops of his own in the Naples community, and is charged with developing 17 additional locations along Florida’s Gulf Coast.

As an executive working up and down the East Coast, Sander decided it was time to become a permanent “snow bird” and move down south. While most people move to warmer climates to retire and soak in the sun, Sander made this move his next business venture. Though Naples has been Sander’s second home for several years, he is excited to be a full-time Floridian and immerse himself in the community year-round. Starting with bringing a new business to the area.

The timing to make the move felt right, as Sander left his previous position as chief financial officer to pursue his next opportunity. During this hunt, he searched many business alternatives, which is when he stumbled into franchising and discovered Hammer & Nails. Sander was immediately intrigued by the concept and quickly eliminated other opportunities to pursue the men’s grooming shop further. Not only was Sander impressed by the uniqueness of the business model – a membership experience where men could be completely comfortable enjoying a hand or foot service while getting their beard groomed – it was an opportunity to bring something new and exciting to the Naples community.

Sander refers to himself as a “numbers guy,” due to his extensive experience in the finance world, which ultimately sold him on the brand as it offers the opportunity for recurring revenue through its monthly membership model. Hammer & Nails goes the extra mile for its members to make the experience both personal and unique – and that’s exactly what the Naples community is all about.

“Naples is so unique and has such great history that after reviewing the franchise opportunity of Hammer & Nails I knew this is something I wanted to be a part of and bring to Naples and across the West Coast of Florida,” said Sander. “I’m glad that the stigma surrounding men getting pedicures and manicures is falling by the wayside. Especially with Florida’s sunshine and warm weather, people want to keep up with their appearance and nail care, and there’s opportunity for Hammer & Nails to be the go-to spot for not only grooming but a one-of-a-kind experience.”

Sander hopes to have his first location open by fall of 2021. A second location also in Naples will shortly follow, just in time for the cooler season when people from the Midwest and the Northeast flock to Florida.

The Hammer & Nails experience coming to Naples 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 are thrilled to have Rick join our brand during such a key moment of growth.

DES MOINES, Iowa and OMAHA, Neb. — ActionCOACH Heartland is excited to announce a franchise business development opportunity for entrepreneurs and people aspiring to own their own professional services business. ActionCOACH has a 27-year track record of success as the largest and oldest business coaching franchise globally with over 1,000 offices in 80 countries.

ActionCOACH is considered the leader in the business coaching industry because of their unique “Client Guarantee” that promises their clients a 100% return on their investment. No other coaching company offers this type of guarantee. As an ActionCOACH franchise owner this powerful promise is backed by proven turn-key systems that will improve profits and help every client grow their businesses.

If you are looking for a potential career change and have the desire to truly make a difference by helping local businesses in your community, then partnering with ActionCOACH Heartland may be an ideal franchise opportunity for you. As a franchise partner, you will impact your local economy by working directly with business owners to help them improve their budgeting and business planning, sales and marketing, better systemize their operations, and educate and train their team. Most importantly, you will help them to make more money, which is ultimately what every business owner wants more than anything else.

Where other new business start-ups may take months or even years to get off the ground, the ActionCOACH franchise model provides a turn-key operation combined with local training, marketing and support that will allow you to hit the ground running so you can start to generate income on day one when you start your new business.

“Once I completed my [ActionCOACH] certification and training,” says ActionCOACH Heartland franchise partner Greg Thompson, “I came back and immediately had programs I could market and sell.” Greg joined ActionCOACH in 2008 and is a multi-year award winner for highest client retention.

According to Thompson, based in Urbandale, “Now, more than ever, small business owners need our assistance, especially right now. We are on a mission to save as many businesses as possible by providing solutions, strategies, and actionable steps to help them survive and thrive — even through these difficult times.”

“An astonishing 80% of businesses fail within the first five to ten years, plus with the pandemic, more businesses than ever are struggling, so demand for coaching is at an all-time high,” says ActionCOACH Heartland Co-Founder David Drewelow. “We have the most immediate need for new firm owners in Des Moines and Omaha. Our franchise model provides a relatively low financial upfront investment, short ramp-up time, low overhead, high profit margins and an excellent ROI to our franchise owners.”

“Most firm owners are looking to build a million-dollar coaching firm within 3-5 years. Our firm model allows you to build a team of coaches who will ultimately make a positive impact on business owners in your community. All the while you, as the firm owner, will be financially rewarded for your effort.

Initiative to Fuel Guests’ Originality through Variety of Healthy, Personalized Goals.

WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. — Saladworks, the nation’s leading fast-casual salad franchise, announced today the launch of its New Year’s ResoYOUtion! campaign starting January 2021. Along with fun offers and promotions for Saladworks Rewards members, the program gives guests the opportunity to fuel their originality by focusing on four key goals: Healthier YOU, New YOUtines, Fitter YOU and Stressless YOU. To become a Saladworks Rewards member and participate, guests can enroll on the company’s website or app.

In addition to receiving a free entrée just by signing up, the multifaceted Saladworks Rewards program allows members to earn points on every visit – whether in restaurant or ordering online — which can be redeemed for menu discounts on future visits. In addition, the program engages members with “insider” information about the menu, new ingredients and recipes, upcoming events and healthful tips. The program also allows members to participate in surveys to help the brand live up to its promise in creating “WOW!” moments for its guests.

To get started with the New Year’s ResoYOUtion! Saladworks Rewards members will receive personal messages, tips, tools, resources and inspiration for helping them achieve the four key ResoYOUtions mentioned above. They are also encouraged to share personal stories as they work toward accomplishing their specific goals using the hashtag #SWResoYOUtion, much like Scott Santarlas, a Pennsylvania man who frequents Saladworks to maintain his significant weight loss of 280 pounds and uphold a healthy lifestyle. Scott incorporated Saladworks into his diet and transformed his life from one of obesity to now serving as a Fitness Trainer to help others along their personal fitness journey.

To keep motivation high during January, Saladworks will offer a Rewards Rush where Saladworks Rewards members can earn progressively more Bonus Points on every order. Upon their first order, guests will receive normal Saladworks Rewards points, and then double, triple, and quadruple Bonus Points on their second, third and fourth visits, respectively. After their fifth visit, Saladworks Rewards members will earn a Free Salad by completing the Rewards Rush.

On top of that, every Tuesday is “Pick2sDay,” in which guests can earn $2 off any Pick 2 order. The brand is also running a “Soup It Up!” promotion in which Saladworks Rewards members can receive 20 Bonus Points by adding a soup to their entrée order every weekend starting on January 9^th through the end of the month.

“Following a year when many people may have felt stagnant or discouraged by the challenges thrown their way, the Saladworks team wants to help our guests pursue their passions and live their best lives in 2021,” said Mark Mears, Chief Marketing Officer for Saladworks. “Our New Year’s ResoYOUtion! campaign gives everyone the opportunity to fuel their originality, whether it relates to goals that help improve nutrition, fitness, personal growth, stress relief or anything else that leads to a better YOU, all while enjoying healthful and nutritious meals from Saladworks.”
