Franchisees, Support Center Leadership and Vendors from Multi-Brand Franchise Platform Gather in Charlotte to Honor Key Accomplishments and Brand Growth

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — HomeFront Brands, the property service franchise platform with six emerging concepts in its portfolio, hosted its first-annual companywide convention in early-November. Taking place in the company’s home Charlotte market, it brought together the family of brands, including its franchisees, corporate employees and vendor partners, to celebrate impressive growth since the inception of HomeFront Brands in late-2022.

Themed “Homecoming”, the HomeFront Brands inaugural convention welcomed its more than 100 franchisees from across the country, representing all five concepts from its portfolio. The convention featured four notable keynote speakers, including Brigadier General Anthony J. Tata, who delivered an inspiring discussion on team leadership. General Tata’s impressive background includes his role as Undersecretary of Defense for Policy and commanding Army operations in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Croatia, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Panama and Haiti.

During “Homecoming,” HomeFront Brands recognized the hard-working individuals behind each brand and the corporate team. Throughout the convention, there were twenty-three different awards given out to deserving individuals across the family of brands. Notably, the company recognized its first-ever overall HomeFront Brands Franchisee of the Year. Brent Chapman, franchisee of Window Hero and Top Rail Fence in the Triad region of North Carolina, earned this honor. The full list of award winners is noted below.

Additionally, the brand revealed its new tagline at the conference, “The family of brands that C.A.R.E.S.” This highlights the company’s five core values: community, accountability, respect, excellence and service.

“Being able to come together as a true family of brands for the first time ever is a remarkable reminder of how far HomeFront Brands has come since our founding,” said Jeff Dudan, Chairman and CEO of HomeFront Brands. “This year has been one of incredible expansion, both for the company as a whole and our concepts. We’re feeling energized going into 2024 knowing that we will continue to see exponential growth across all brands.”

While in Charlotte, everyone in attendance had the opportunity to partake in a charitable giveback event in partnership with Operation Homefront, one of two charitable organizations that HomeFront Brands announced as partners during the convention, the other being The Carson Scholars. To further build-upon the company’s commitment to these organizations, during the convention the group built bikes to donate to Operation Homefront, and donated $20,000 to both charities. The convention also provided opportunities for connection between brands and franchisees, as well as professional growth. Franchisees were able to partake in multiple breakout sessions of varying topics, such as sales, marketing, hiring and utilizing vendors.

Multi-Brand Franchise Platform Kicks Off First-Annual Franchise Convention Sharing Major News of Charitable Partnerships with Two Deserving Nonprofits

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — HomeFront Brands, the property service franchise platform with six emerging concepts in its franchise portfolio, announced today its partnerships with two prominent national nonprofit organizations, Operation Homefront and The Carson Scholars Foundation. Reflecting its own recently established tagline, “The family of brands that C.A.R.E.S” (the company’s five core values: Community, Accountability, Respect, Excellence, and Service), HomeFront Brands announced the charitable partnerships to its franchise community, corporate employees and vendor partners during the company’s inaugural franchise convention, taking place November 5, 6 and 7 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“We are beyond grateful to partner with two remarkable organizations that align so perfectly with our mission and values at HomeFront Brands,” said Jeff Dudan, Chairman and CEO of HomeFront Brands. “These partnerships reflect our shared commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders and expressing our profound appreciation to the courageous individuals who have selflessly served our nation. I, as well as the rest of my team, am looking forward to the meaningful impact we can make now and into the future in tandem with Operation Homefront and The Carson Scholars Foundation.”

Since 2002, Operation Homefront has been proudly serving America’s military families. The nonprofit organization provides relief and recurring family support programs and services throughout the year to help military families overcome short-term difficulties so that they don’t become long-term hardships. Prior to the partnership announcement, HomeFront Brands made an initial donation of $20,000 to the organization, and in addition, has set a goal to raise more than $50,000 in 2024 for its military families. Additional commitments of the partnership include helping to provide transitional homes for veterans, awarding recipients of the nonprofit’s Military Child of the Year with laptops to support their educational endeavors, participating in the organization’s 11 days of impact for Veterans Day and more. HomeFront Brands is recognized as a one star partner of Operation Homefront.

The Carson Scholars Foundation is a nonprofit organization that seeks to combat the American education crisis by rewarding excellence in the nation’s youth through its Scholarship programs and by developing reading rooms in libraries and schools across the country through The Ben Carson Reading Project initiative. Through an initial donation of $20,000, HomeFront Brands will be donating a state-of-the-art reading room to a deserving school in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, reaffirming its commitment to promoting literacy and education within its local community. The donation will mark the beginning of a nationwide expansion effort, where HomeFront Brands aims to replicate the reading room donation in schools across the country.

“Leading by example has always been a fundamental principle at HomeFront Brands,” continued Dudan. “Embarking on these transformative partnerships will serve as a guiding light, not just for our dedicated franchisees, but for everyone affiliated with HomeFront Brands. We’re thrilled to be launching both partnerships with our initial donations, which serve as a catalyst to propel our collective efforts into action.”

Leading Massage and Facial Franchise Opens in Kingston with Multi-Unit Franchisee, Celebrates with Grand Opening Event on Nov. 17

KINGSTON, N.Y. — Massage Heights, a leading massage and wellness franchise, announces the grand opening of its newest location in Kingston, NY, which marks a significant milestone as the brand’s first location in the state. The new Retreat, located at 1204 Ulster Avenue, Suite #2 Kingston, NY 12401, will celebrate its opening with an event on November 17. With sights set on achieving another record-breaking year, Massage Heights continues to increase its presence to offer more guests massage therapy and facial treatment options.

Making history in bringing Massage Heights to the state of New York is multi-unit franchisee David Shawger and his business partners. Shawger is an existing franchisee with Massage Heights, and this will mark his second location with the brand. Having spent more than two decades as an IT consultant, Shawger had always felt a strong sense of an entrepreneurship and was looking to invest in a brand with a strong, collaborative and structural system.

Alongside Shawger are Chas Cerulli and Maria Weitzman, both of whom are taking their first step into the franchising world with this new endeavor. Cerulli has been working in higher education dining for more than 25 years and has vast experience in hospitality. After becoming a member of Massage Heights in New Jersey as a solution to his chronic back pain, he became a firm believer in the brand and the healing power of touch. Weitzman has experience as a marketing manager and consultant, working for international finance brands such as JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America. After visiting Shawger’s existing location in Morristown, NJ and experiencing the services, her decision to join Massage Heights was solidified. Both Cerulli and Weitzman having been members of Shawger’s existing location saw first-hand how the brand brings a needed service to the community.

“The Massage Heights team has always given me consistent support and that is what gave me the confidence to expand,” shared Shawger. “Being a consumer of massages for years, I have a personal commitment to wellness and know how important it is. Chas, Maria, and I look forward to breaking into the New York market while serving and connecting with the people of Kingston.”

The Ulster County Chamber of Commerce will be present for the grand opening event, with a formal ribbon cutting at 3 p.m. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in raffles and giveaways to win prizes and tour the retreat. All proceeds from the raffle will directly support Peoples Place, a local non-profit food pantry, thrift store, wellness empowerment center and community café.

“Launching our first retreat in New York is a testament to the relentless spirit of innovation that drives our company forward,” said Susan Boresow, President & CEO of Massage Heights. “We are excited to see the success David, Chas and Maria will generate, and to see the key role they will play in giving back to the Kingston community and beyond.”

New York marks Massage Heights’ presence in 16 total states as the innovative brand marches forward with an aggressive growth strategy. As the multi-billion-dollar industry remains primed for increased growth, Massage Heights offers a turnkey business opportunity backed by unmatched support. Company leadership has identified target growth markets and has prime territories available nationwide.

Emerging Functional Fitness Franchise to Debut New Studio Location in Fall 2024

NEW YORK — Pvolve, the omni-channel fitness company with an innovative, science-led method that pairs functional movement with proprietary equipment, is expanding its hometown footprint with the signing of their latest franchise agreement for New York City’s Upper East Side. This location is the result of a partnership between four area locals, Jessica and Mike Wenger, along with Samantha Diaz-Hennessey and her fiancé Ryan Grealy.

Jessica has spent the majority of her career in the boutique fitness space, Samantha, as a nurse practitioner, while both of their husbands have been involved in the finance sector. What all four share is a belief in the Pvolve Method and the franchise offering, as well as the viability of a studio on New York City’s Upper East Side.

“I’ve devoted my professional career to the preventative care of patients, which has given me such a deep connection with the Pvolve Method and the proven lifestyle benefits it offers members,” said Samantha. “I’m beyond excited to be able to partner with like-minded friends to deliver this functional fitness method that helps improve longevity and the well-being of its members.”

The Upper East Side location joins the brand’s inaugural studio in Soho, which is one of three studios owned and operated by Pvolve Corporate. All four franchisees see further expansion opportunities throughout the city’s five boroughs.

“I’m excited to see Pvolve expand its reach in the heart of our home market,” said Pvolve President Julie Cartwright. “The Upper East Side community is a sophisticated consumer who can’t be fooled by fad fitness trends. Pvolve is redefining what fitness can mean for its members; we are committed to delivering the highest caliber of workout, one that is science-led, overseen by a Clinical Advisory Board, and delivered by highly credentialed trainers. We have no doubt that this community will value this commitment and see the Pvolve difference first-hand.”

Cartwright credits their innovative approach to functional fitness as the reason for the growth the franchise has experienced this year. Coupled with Pvolve’s multi-revenue stream business model, proprietary resistance equipment, hybrid class offerings, and high-level brand endorsements, Cartwright and her team agree that their NYC presence is just beginning.

“Pvolve was instrumental in my physical recovery after a hip injury, helping me to regain a sense of self on my way back to marathon training,” said Jessica. “I know this studio will be able to help so many others on their health journeys and push them to become their best selves, without putting their bodies through the wringer.”

Several veterans are already part of the Assisted Living Locators family, driving success through their leadership and dedication. Major Germaine Simon, currently serving in the U.S. Army National Guard and an Assisted Living Locators New Orleans franchisee, expressed, “The values I’ve learned during my service resonate perfectly with the mission of Assisted Living Locators. The focus on empathy, care, and community service is what drew me to this exceptional brand.”

Nick Gittins, RN, a Marine Corp veteran and Assisted Living Locators Salt Lake City owner, shares, “Transitioning from the military to a business environment could be challenging. But with the robust support from Assisted Living Locators, it felt more like a continuation of my service, now channeled towards assisting seniors.”

Retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Tim Tuttle and Assisted Living Locators Nashville franchisee added his perspective, “This platform isn’t just about business. It’s about carrying forward the service spirit we cultivated in the military, now to serve our senior community.”

ALWAYS BEST CARE SHARES TIPS TO HELP SENIORS AVOID SEASONAL DEPRESSION

Paul Zboichyk2023-11-06T13:03:22-05:00November 6th, 2023|Tags: Always Best Care, Exclusive Programs, Senior Assistance, senior care|

– Leading senior care franchise offers advice for older adults and their caregivers as daylight saving time sets in and holidays approach-

ROSEVILLE, Calif. — Always Best Care Senior Services caregivers around the country often see their clients experiencing winter and holiday doldrums when the daylight hours become shorter and temperatures grow colder. These teams of caring professionals, making up one of the leading senior care franchise systems in the United States, know that the busy, chilly months ahead call for extra attention and considerations when dealing with older adults who may be navigating difficult emotions.

“Spending more time inside with less natural light can cause feelings of depression and anxiety for anyone, regardless of age,” said Jake Brown, President and CEO of Always Best Care. “The holidays may compound these emotions for seniors as they grieve lost loved ones or feel nostalgic for their younger days. Additionally, for seniors living with dementia and other chronic health conditions, the sudden change in pace, bright lights and large gatherings of the season can be overwhelming.”

Based on experience caring for seniors for over 27 years, Always Best Care offers the following tips to help older adults fight back against the winter blues:

Get outside for a refreshing change of scenery.
A little crisp air and sunlight can go a long way in giving someone a boost. If bundling up for the outdoors isn’t possible, open the curtains on the nearest window and let the light stream in.
Spend time with friends.
People we love and laugh with are a balm to the soul. Make plans to get together for lunch, shopping, a movie, or just hanging out.
Plan small activities or trips.
Weekly club meetings, watching a grandchild’s event, or booking a beauty appointment can all be things to happily anticipate. The countdown to these activities will help the days pass more quickly.
Stay active for a rush of mood-boosting endorphins.
Most of us feel better after getting our body moving, even if we don’t feel like doing it at the time. Short walks, an indoor swim, yoga or gym session will get the blood and endorphins flowing.
Set short-term goals to work toward.
When we have something to do and a goal in sight, we can avoid getting in a rut. Get encouraged by seeing the results of your work and being able to check things off your to-do list.

“Partnering with an in-home caregiver can also be a wonderful way to ensure older adults have companionship and support for the activities they want to do. A caregiver can help with scheduling plans, staying organized, preparing meals and getting to different events,” added Brown.

Always Best Care is one of the nation’s leading providers of non-medical in-home care and assisted living referral services, with skilled home health care in limited markets. The company delivers its services through an international network of more than 225 independently owned and operated franchise territories throughout the United States and Canada.

Franchise Honors Their 8^th Annual Winner

TAMPA, Fla. — RNR Tire Express (RNR), the nation’s leading franchise retailer for tires and custom wheels, announced the winner of their 8^th annual Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. With the help of RNR franchisees around the country, their team donated a portion of all tire sales during the month of October – Breast Cancer Awareness Month – to foundations advancing the cause of breast cancer research and the search for a cure.

Chris Hazelwood, who is currently battling breast cancer, was selected as this year’s winner after being nominated by a friend. Despite her ongoing battle, Chris still finds time to help grow her community; actively volunteering with Meals on Wheels, National Breast Cancer Foundation Fab Over 40 and her own nonprofit, Breast Cancer Hub, which raises awareness, education and research for breast cancer. Chris also provides support to fellow cancer patients through A Hug in a Box and a group called ROSE, both of which allow her to spread her unwavering positivity with others.

Having been selected as this year’s grand prize recipient, Chris was awarded a THINK PINK package, which includes $1,000 cash, a set of new tires, and a VIP spa day package, all courtesy of the team at RNR Tire Express.

The campaign is one of the longest-standing giveback initiatives in the brand’s 23-year history. It allows family and friends a chance to recognize those in their lives battling against breast cancer with a small token that lets them know they aren’t alone, and they have an entire community behind them.

“To be able to provide a source of positivity by giving back to those who have survived or are fighting breast cancer is a great honor for the RNR Tire Express family,” said Larry Sutton, founder and CEO of RNR Tire Express. “Seeing this initiative grow year-after-year is an incredibly rewarding and uplifting opportunity. Being able to provide joy not just to survivors and fighters, but to their friends and family, is a unique circumstance that is never lost on us.”
