OxiFresh Carpet Cleaning® is now the frontrunner in the evolution of the carpet cleaning industry! Our business experience and innovative products have made us successful competitors year after year. Our success stems from our one-of-a-kind cleaning system: the Oxi Sponge, Encapsulator and Oxi Powder that clean down deep into the carpet pile and lift stubborn stains.

The power of oxygen is undeniable; Mother Nature has utilized oxygen to naturally purify the earth for thousands of years. At OxiFresh, we have harnessed this same purifying concept to create a powerful carpet cleaning system. Now, OxiFresh Carpet Cleaning® is offering the peak of carpet cleaning innovation to potential business owners everywhere.

Cleaning Method

Many carpet cleaning companies use soap to remove stains and clean carpet. Experience shows soap leaves behind a sticky residue which acts as an adhesive, thus attracting dirt and grime back to the surface of the carpet. As a result, customers are left with unsatisfactory results and a lifetime of searching for a truly effective carpet cleaning specialist

OxiFresh Carpet Cleaning® uses a combination of its one-of-a-kind Oxi Sponge, Encapsulator and Oxi Powder. This three-part cleaning solution creates a powerful oxygenated cleaning system that breaks down the stains while encapsulating them so that they can be effectively removed from the carpet pile. It is safe for children and pets, leaves no sticky residue, reduces the possibility of returning stains and has a one hour average dry time. The results establish a high quality carpet cleaning service and satisfied repeat customers.

Franchisee Marketing Support

OxiFresh Carpet Cleaning® offers more to its franchisees than a name, logo and cleaning system. We offer tested and proven marketing campaigns that are created and ready for OxiFresh Carpet Cleaning® franchise owners to activate in their territory immediately.

A Premier Pizza Franchise In A Growing Market

Americans eat about 100 acres of pizza per year!

Manny & Olga’s Pizza Franchise Opportunity. Wow! Who wouldn’t want to grab a slice of that territory? And it’s growing strong. The pizza market is a $30 billion industry that continues to thrive and expand. According to Technomics, Pizza restaurants will rank among the fastest growing segments in the food service industry for at least the next 5 years.

Long a popular choice, pizza has evolved into a sweetheart of America’s tables. A generation of young adults who grew up “favoring pizza over anything else” is now heading up its own households and still loving pizza. For more than a decade, Manny & Olga’s Pizza have been serving their tempting selection of pizzas to this ever-growing market at prices so great that customers return again and again.

And that’s just the beginning. If you are accepted as a Manny & Olga’s franchisee, you’ll offer satisfied customers more than pizza – you’ll offer another “star” of today’s dining scene – great sandwiches. Consumers are eating more sandwiches and fewer burgers. And restaurant Manny & Olga’s Pizza Franchise Opportunity_2operators, from national hotshots to regional standouts, are banking on their continued popularity. Manny & Olga’s is positioned to satisfy this growing market, offering hungry patrons an incredible selection of irresistible sub sandwiches.
The pizza and sandwich trend is sizzling!

There’s more to the story than a taste for pizza and sandwiches. Diners aren’t just hungry; they’re busy and less skilled at cooking. In today’s fast-paced world with its growing number of dual income families, the convenience of takeout and delivery is the key to your customers’ hearts. And takeout is representing growth of the best kind. This is great news if you have the drive to become part of the Manny & Olga’s family of takeout/delivery restaurants! Our stores are designed to offer an economy of space, requiring less square footage than would typically be necessary to accommodate dine-in patrons. Our takeout/delivery concept reduces the need for waitstaff, busboys and dishwashers – all factors that Manny & Olga’s Pizza Franchise Opportunity_3affect both payroll and service time.
Are you ready to meet the demands of a promising market?

Manny & Olga’s has developed a proven system of operation, designed to meet the demands of the modern consumer. When you operate a Manny & Olga’s franchise, you’ll follow our blueprint and receive our ongoing support. Not only will you be able to reduce your risks by using our system, but you’ll benefit from providing services and products under our already established name.

We have developed a comprehensive support system to help you with everything from start-up and marketing, through day-to-day operations. We’ll share with you the procedures, recipes and service philosophies that we’ve developed throughout our years of experience in the industry. You will be treated like part of the family, learning our “family secrets” in operating a business that works!

Manny & Olga’s Pizza presents an outstanding business opportunity in the burgeoning industry of takeout/delivery pizza and sandwiches. We will be selecting qualified individuals to own and operate a select number of franchise units. If you share our dedication to exceptional customer service, have a commitment to delivering top quality food products and understand the value of providing hands-on ownership in the daily operation of you own business, let’s talk!

Sir Speedy represents a unique opportunity to use your skills, energy and enthusiasm to achieve the earnings and satisfaction that come from owning your own business.

With recession still bearing down on many Americans and no clear sign of relief ahead, many people are wondering if there’s a better alternative during recession than just hunkering down and playing it safe. No one ever knows with any certainty when the economy will pick back up, so having an income stream that makes good money during recession is not only a plus, it’s a necessity in today’s economy. With that in mind, consider that when the economy slows down, the housing market follows suit. When the housing market slows down, people who may have sold their homes when the market was up, tend to plant firmer roots and decide to stay at their home for another 5-10 years (or until the market turns back around). This inconvenience to home-owners creates a booming niche market for the right entrepreneur. Those people that have to stay in their homes longer than they normally would have will need plenty of help maintaining and fixing their home so that when it does come time to sell, the home will still be worth a good price and so that it’s a good place to live in the mean time. If a career in home service sounds like a good idea for your skill set and you like the idea of a recession-resistant business, here’s a quick look at the top 10 home service franchises currently available.

1. Sir Grout

As you may have guessed from the name, this franchise specializes in grout and tile restoration. What you may not have guessed, however, is that grout and tile restoration is one of the hottest sectors in the home improvement industry today. With a proprietary system designed to transform old dilapidated floors in to perfectly restored tile work, Sir Grout can take any entrepreneur with a desire to be their own boss and turn them into a successful owner of this mobile franchise.

2. SightMind Inc

With industry growth as high as 44% per year, the IP-based video surveillance industry is one to watch, and now with a franchise from SightMind Inc you can own your own franchise in this booming industry. Each year, millions of homes and businesses realize the need for tighter security, and whether this comes as a result of careful planning or as a reaction to a break-in, SightMind Inc can provide peace of mind as well as a rock-solid IP Video Surveillance system all conveniently packaged in this work at home franchise.

3. Budget Blinds

One of the best parts of a mobile franchises, like Budget Blinds, is that you can run the entire business out of a company van, without having to lease costly retail space or hire a bloated staff to run the store. Budget Blinds minimizes the costs associated with a traditional window blind store and is then able to give customers incredible prices while still making a good profit and selling a quality product. With $7 billion in annual sales, this industry can definitely provide a steady stream of income and with Budget Blinds’ no nonsense approach to it’s franchisees, you can get your own franchise up and running for as little as $50k.

4. Nutri-Lawn

A great lawn can make a home look beautiful while at the same time provide a playground for the kids, a place to sit and talk or the perfect setting for a neighborhood barbeque. While at one time, most people took pride and too the time to perfectly manicure their own lawns, these days, the mentality seems to be that you should spend what little free time you have enjoying things like a good lawn, rather than always working to perfect it. To the end, Nutri-Lawn offers lawn treatments that leave your lawn lush and green, without the harsh chemicals used by most lawn treatment companies. The beauty of Nutri-Lawn is that as the public interest in eco-friendly products and services grows, so will the market and demand for Nutri-Lawn.

5. USA Insulation

With one of the highest returns in the industry and very little direct competition, ANSY OnCall is a great franchise for any handy entrepreneur. But don’t be discouraged if you aren’t exactly the “handy” type, because this is still a great business opportunity for anyone who can manage a fleet of handymen.

While there are no guarantees in life, and it would be foolish to call any business “recession-proof” these businesses have definitely proven that they are at least recession-resistant and can weather the storm just fine. Choosing the right business for your particular skills and desires is crucial, however, if you have an interest in home services or have been on the fence about which business to pursue, consider a franchise in this, one of the most stable industries in the market today. When many businesses suffer or even close up shop, people are still willing to spend money to protect their most important investment: their home.

One of the best franchise opportunities available to the aspiring franchisee is food. Not only is sustenance a necessity for human survival, making its demand constant, but in the United States (often to our detriment) it is also a cultural addiction: we love good food and we can’t stay away from it. But that reality actually fares well for the owner of a food franchise. The following is a list of 10 of the best franchise options for feeding the masses.

Big Names

Because food is such a continuously booming industry, there are plenty of very well known names that have huge payoffs for guest and franchisee alike, mostly because brand recognition for these companies is unreal. Do you recognize any of these fast-food franchise names? Pizza Hut? ARCO ampm? Baskin Robbins? Of course you do, and that is precisely what carries much of their business success: they’re recognizable and you’re likely to find them anywhere you go. For most of America, it’s hard not to open the phone book in search of a pizza delivery place and not at least ask yourself what deals you could get if you called one of the two dozen Pizza Hut locations in your area. When you’re out on the town looking for ice cream, but you don’t want a gallon, the instinctive thought is 31 flavors, which one should I pick?

As funny as it sounds though, the big name doesn’t even have to be where we expect it to be in order for it to reel us in. Take another great food franchise, for instance: the Nestlé Tollhouse Café. Now, I’ve never seen one of these franchises in person, but I can guarantee that simply because I recognize the name from their other products in the supermarket, I would be inclined to visit their store for a tasty treat. There’s something about recognizing a company that we like, and that makes big names a good idea for franchisees.

Lesser Names Up and Coming

Not all great franchise opportunities are well established names; some of the best choices for someone breaking into the franchise world are to choose something that hasn’t hit the big time yet, but is well on its way there. That way, the owner can grow right along with the business.

One such opportunity is Wing Zone. Started as an interesting alternative to the run of the mill pizza place, Wing Zone rises and falls on chicken legs and wings in a host of different sauces, and so far, that plan is working. Recognized by some impressive magazines as being one of the fastest growing restaurants quickly spreading across the states, this business opportunity affords a smart businessperson the chance to get in on the ground floor and become a hit right along with the business.

For similar options, check out these other budding business opportunities. For those in love with dessert but tired of selling ordinary ice cream, Funari’s Italian Creamery is changing things up with their old-world recipe for gelato in a modern context. Dickey’s Barbeque is doing the same in the world of meat. Birthed in Texas, the home of barbeque, Dickey’s Barbeque does away with the stereotypical Texas atmosphere, while maintaining the lonestar state’s commitment to good, carnivorous dining. In a different vein, Franktitude provides quality eating to guests while lowering overhead by specializing in foods that come to the store already prepared. If you don’t have to cook it on site, you don’t have to pay for cooks.

Whatever the niche or gimmick, what these franchises really have going for them is a sense of potential. They aren’t massive yet, but with their subtle novelties, there’s no telling how large they’ll get.

Novelty

Speaking of novelty, no list of the best food franchises would be complete without the next two names. In a world of burgers, fries, ice cream, and pizza, these two business opportunities stand out like sore thumbs of genius.

D’arcy McGee’s is something that is never going to get to the prevalence level of Pizza Hut, and that is the vast majority of its success and charm. Coming with a steep price tag and a far more pleasant air, this Irish pub is one of a kind, precisely because it’s an Irish pub, they may be plentiful in Ireland, but not so much in the states. Instead of the fast-food, get-in-and-get-out atmosphere, D’arcy McGee’s invites you to kick back, get a pint, and stay for a long while with your friends. There may not be many of these places, but the ones that go up are likely to succeed.

And no salute to food novelty would be complete without Muddy Paw Wash & Coffee Bar. Yes, you read that right. And yes, it does mean precisely what it sounds like. You and your canine friend come in, he gets a bath, and you get a latte. Chances are, with a business like this, a franchisee will get loads of people just coming in to see if it’s what it sounds like. And from there, the quality of service will decide whether or not that visitor is a customer for life.

Take Your Pick

Though it may be some of the best food franchises a person could get, this list is really only the tip of the ice berg. Before making a decision, take a look through the other plethora of options.
