Big Blue Swim School Celebrates Successful Start to 2019 with Chicago Opening and Agreements for 24 Locations in Denver, Salt Lake City, Chicago and Minneapolis

Tatyana Stemkovski2019-05-20T16:29:38-04:00May 20th, 2019|Tags: Big Blue Swim School, child care franchise, child education franchise, child engagement specialists, Shorewood Development Group, swim school franchise|

Technology-fueled swim school franchise is on track to achieve goal of 150 units by 2021

CHICAGO –In late 2018, Big Blue Swim School, a Chicago-based children’s swim school announced its plans to reach 150 units by 2021 by partnering with growth-minded franchise partners across the U.S. So far in 2019, the brand has already made good on its plans, with the signing of three major multi-unit deals for 16 units brining 10 locations to Chicago, Illinois and six to Minneapolis, Minnesota; five units in Denver, Colorado; and three units in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In March, Big Blue Swim School also opened its fifth Chicagoland corporate location, in the North Center neighborhood of Chicago. This opening was the strongest in the system to date, with 1,400 memberships sold before the doors opened, cementing the brand’s pre-opening marketing strategy to be mirrored for all future new openings.

Former Orangetheory franchisees Wendy and Erik Skaalerud will bring five locations to the Denver area; Sun Stop Sunglasses franchisees Zack and Brittany Groesbeck will bring three Big Blue Swim Schools to Salt Lake City; and Shorewood Development Group CEO and father of five Big Blue Swim School members Louis Schriber III along with Aaron Roth will bring 16 locations to Chicago and Minneapolis.

In addition to aligning with experienced franchise partners with business acumen and the potential to grow the brand in their respective communities, Big Blue Swim School has also focused on building its leadership team. In early 2019, former PepsiCo executive Brooke Mallick joined Big Blue Swim School as VP of Marketing, former Premium Service Brands and College Hunks Hauling Junk executive Justin Waltz joined as VP of Franchise Operations, and franchise industry veteran Catherine Monson joined the brand’s Board of Directors.

“We’ve kicked off 2019 in a big way — by signing major agreements in new markets with incredible franchise partners, with several more in various stages of development,” said Scott Thompson, Chief Development Officer for Big Blue Swim School. “We have also solidified our leadership team to ensure that this will be a huge year for the growth of this brand.”

To keep the momentum going, Thompson and his team have had a presence at many key franchise industry conferences so far in 2019, including the International Franchise Association Conference in Las Vegas in February, and the Multi-Unit Franchising Conference in Las Vegas, the bi-annual FranNet conference in Atlanta and the Great American Franchise Expo in Dallas in March.

Looking ahead in 2019, Big Blue Swim School plans to exhibit at the International Franchise Expo in New York in late May, in addition to hosting Dive-In Day events for brokers, and regionally in Phoenix and Seattle in July and Dallas and Houston in August, which will allow Big Blue Swim School executives to present the brand to groups of 50-100 potential investors.

“In the first few months of 2019, we have been laser-focused on building our infrastructure, developing our strategic growth plan and franchise marketing materials, and hiring the right leaders to join our executive team,” said Thompson. “With 24 committed franchise locations and two corporate leases signed, we plan to have at least 50 committed locations by the end of 2019. We are well on our way of achieving our goal of 150 open units by the end of 2021.”

ABOUT BIG BLUE SWIM SCHOOL

Big Blue Swim School was founded in 2009 by competitive swimmer Chris DeJong. The first location opened in Wilmette, Illinois, followed by Niles, Buffalo Grove and Hoffman Estates. In 2017, Level 5 Capital Partners acquired a majority stake in the brand, and is rolling out an aggressive strategy to grow through franchising to 150 locations by 2020. Big Blue Swim School’s real estate footprint, proprietary technology Lesson Buddy, coupled with its practice of employing full-time child engagement specialists that teach based on a proprietary distance-based swimming methodology sets Big Blue up for long-term success.

500th Goddard School Celebrated In Franchise’s Home Market Of Philadelphia

Early Childhood Education Provider Announces Milestone Location in Bala Cynwyd

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. — The Goddard School®, a nationally recognized early childhood education franchise, started its 30-plus-year franchising journey in the Philadelphia market in 1988 with one location.

This month, The Goddard School will reach a significant milestone.

Goddard Systems, Inc. (GSI), the franchisor of The Goddard School, is looking back on more than 30 years of success in early childhood education franchising as it proudly announces the opening of the 500th location in Bala Cynwyd, PA.

Goddard Schools have opened in neighborhoods and cities throughout the nation, becoming an essential part of hundreds of communities in 37 states. In every location, children begin learning the skills and gaining the knowledge that will take them successfully through school and life.

The franchisees of Bala Cynwyd, Jodi and Bill Straub, were introduced to The Goddard School’s mission and values through Jodi’s brother and sister-in-law, David and Amber O’Brien, who became franchisees many years ago. As they open this milestone location, Jodi and Bill know they can rely on the strong support of their family, their friends and a proven franchise system.

“We are opening the newest Goddard in a building that has provided memories for nearly 50 years. We’re so privileged to teach and inspire the youth of the local community in this historic schoolhouse,” Jodi said. “The sounds of children will soon fill these reimagined, modern classrooms.”

The building that houses the preschool was once the Saint Matthias Parish School, a significant community landmark, which was built in 1970. This long-dormant facility will once again thrive as an early childhood education provider to give generations of children a place to learn and play.

“Five hundred locations is a big number, and it’s a great milestone for any franchise system, but for us, it’s remarkable when you consider the investment of time and resources, the attention to detail and the emotional commitment that goes into the success of every Goddard School,” said Joe Schumacher, CEO of GSI. “Every Goddard School that opens creates opportunities for the communities they serve, for the families they support and for the children they care for.”

For more information about The Goddard School located at 124 Bryn Mawr Avenue, Bala Cynwyd, PA, visit www.GoddardSchool.com/Bala-CynwydPA.

About The Goddard School

The Goddard School is a high quality preschool with extended hours for working parents. A background in education is NOT necessary as each location has a full time Educational Director on staff which allows the owner of the school to concentrate on the management of the business.

Senior Helpers’ New Survey Data Verifies Family Caregivers Require Periodic Respite

National Survey Details How Caring for Aging Loved Ones Impacts Mental Health and Wellness

BALTIMORE — May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and Senior Helpers^®, the nation’s premier provider of in-home senior care services, has just released the findings of a 1,000 person survey that highlights the need to help family caregivers manage factors that can impact mental health. With more than 65 million people across America acting as family caregivers¹, it is a far-reaching issue. The Senior Helpers survey found that most family caregivers experience constant pressure and combat periodic anxiety and depression. The results confirmed the need to help family caregivers with a periodic break from their struggles with the emotional and mental demands of providing care.

“While caring for loved ones can be extremely rewarding, it is also very taxing on family members. For many families the requirement for around-the-clock care results in tremendous sacrifice and effort,” said Peter Ross, CEO and founder of Senior Helpers. “We are acutely aware of the challenges that family caregivers face and are deeply committed to offering families an alternative that can help ease the hardship of being the sole caregiver while still allowing their loved ones to age in place.”

The implications of this new information are significant: today’s family caregivers face challenges with anxiety, depression and maintaining a healthy work/life balance. The survey found:

Anxiety & Depression — 77% of caregivers have personally experienced anxiety and/or depression
No Breaks or Balance — 42% are working so hard that they do not have the time or energy for their other responsibilities
Caregiving Obligation — 68% became caregivers because no one else could help
Working & Caregiving — 53% believe that caregiving has kept them from other income
Rewarding Service — Despite the challenges, 54% of respondents feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment from caregiving for their loved one

With over 300 locations across the nation, Senior Helpers’ mission is to ensure a better quality of life for elderly clients and their families by providing dependable and affordable care to seniors so that they may age in place with dignity. “Whether families need occasional assistance or continuous care, we offer a wide range of professionally supervised, affordable services that range from specialized care for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia, to companion and personal care and even housekeeping assistance,” added Ross.

For more information on Senior Helpers visit www.seniorhelpers.com.

Local Entrepreneurs to Open AtWork Personnel Office in Riverside, California

Tatyana Stemkovski2019-05-16T15:48:32-04:00May 16th, 2019|Tags: AtWork Group, franchise growth, staffing franchise, temp-to-hire and direct-hire services, top franchise opportunity by Franchise Gator for 2019|

National staffing franchise selects the City of Riverside for expansion of G&M Hire Enterprises’ fourth location

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — AtWork Group, an award-winning national staffing franchise, recently announced their latest expansion in California. The new location was awarded to local entrepreneurs Gregg Hassler and Moses Rangel, whose Southern California-based AtWork franchise—located at 11801 Pierce St., Suite 200 in Riverside, CA—will provide staffing services to employers throughout the surrounding areas. This is Hassler and Rangel’s fourth Southern California AtWork Group location.

“The City of Riverside presented an ideal expansion market for AtWork SoCal,” said franchise owner Gregg Hassler. “The City’s centralized location, its status as a regional economic hub and the benefit of proximity to several current clients made selecting Riverside an easy choice.”

AtWork Riverside specializes in delivering effective staffing solutions for employers seeking clerical, professional and light industrial employees. AtWork’s flexible options include temporary, temp-to-hire, full time career placement services and payroll accommodation. The company provides contingent labor and direct-hire talent search services for some of the region’s most respected employers.

“Thanks to its well-established infrastructure for business development, combined with a lowering unemployment rate, Southern California it the ideal location for our latest expansion,” said Jason Leverant, president and COO of AtWork Group. “With Hassler and Rangel’s experience in the staffing industry, I am confident their business will soon grow to become a vital player in the area’s business growth and development!”

“We look forward to building quality relationships with employers and candidates in Riverside. Our goal as a locally-owned staffing service is to provide the personalized, responsive services that national corporate-owned agencies simply can’t deliver,” said Hassler. “As the AtWork Group continues a successful expansion in California through its locally-owned entrepreneurial model, we are proud to lead the way in Riverside and San Diego Counties.”

AtWork SoCal Director of Marketing Charlie Hoey credits the company’s growth and success to experience, hard work, determination and a talented team of dedicated employees.

“Four years ago we started at zero with the Temecula location,” Hoey said. “Today AtWork SoCal’s offices rank in the top ten, in terms of revenues and candidates placed, out of over 75 branches nationwide. Our employees understand their success is tied to the company’s success, and we very much appreciate their dedication to this enterprise.”

AtWork SoCal’s Regional Director Judy Contreras, who will be leading the Riverside Office’s operations, said the City of Riverside holds great potential for AtWork’s unique model of local ownership backed by national resources.

“The fact that we are owned and operated locally and have strong community connections means we are able to quickly respond to clients’ staffing needs,” Contreras said. “I expect the City of Riverside AtWork office to hit the ground running since there’s already an existing client base and multiple prospects waiting for AtWork to open nearby. I encourage local employers to consider AtWork as a potential Human Resources partner and take advantage of our team’s decades of experience sourcing, recruiting, delivering and managing quality employees.”
