Insightful article in the Franchise Times about how Ahsan Mehmood, his sister Noor Zahid, and college friend Chandler Gottlieb founded an Acai concept, Palm Berries, and have been tackling sustainable growth. Perhaps the most important takeaway in this piece by Matthew Liedke is when Noor stated "We decided to go that route [franchising], with a focus on replicating this model and simplifying it to where anyone can run it. We didn't have business or ownership experience before this, so we figured if we can do this, we can help others own one, too." As emerging brands begin their franchising journey, simplicity/reciprocity of operations and focusing on the success of your franchisees, is crucial in ensuring the longevity and advancement of your business. Looks like the team over at Palm Berries has created a great foundation for growth, I'm excited to see where this budding business goes! #franchising #growth https://lnkd.in/gGj8HMiH

Re-Bath currently has 11 locations operating in Florida and is set to venture into even more new markets within the state, and throughout the East Coast. With large retailer partnerships contributing to the brand’s growth and market share gains driving a nearly 31% YOY increase in systemwide sales, prospective franchisees are flocking to the Re-Bath franchise opportunity. Spearheading the brand’s expansion across Florida is experienced franchisee Joel Dichi, who has been with the brand since July 2020. After earning his master’s degree from Stanford University, Dichi started a franchise brand in his native country of Venezuela, which grew on an international scale to more than 500 locations. He and his wife then moved to Miami to diversify their portfolio and began purchasing properties for renovation. This new venture grew rapidly, adding to their business success. When COVID hit, Dichi decided that it was time for his next investment, so he purchased two existing Re-Bath locations in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, Florida. Over the past two years, Dichi has flourished within the brand, earning recognition as Rookie of the Year in 2022 for his exceptional achievement in growing sales sixfold across his locations. With the franchise brand’s proven track record, Dichi has chosen to expand his presence in Florida, reflecting in his confidence in Re-Bath’s continued growth and success. The impressive growth achieved by the brand has not gone unnoticed as Re-Bath recently earned the No. 192 spot on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2024 Franchise 500®, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Re-Bath also ranked No. 2 on Qualified Remodeler’s Top 500 Nationals List and was recognized as No. 1 in the “𝑩𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑩𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒎 𝑹𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔” category on Bob Vila’s Best Home Improvement Contractors of 2022 Ranking.

Taking a Gamble on Franchising: A Cautionary Tale from NFL and McDonald's Veterans In the high-stakes world of franchising, the notion of it being a 'safer bet' is a myth. Today, let's hear two stories of two big names - former NFL star David Tyree and ex-president of McDonald's Mexico, Eduardo Diaz – both remind us that risk is ever-present. David Tyree, fondly remembered for his ‘helmet catch’, lost a staggering $500,000 when he invested in the Clean Juice franchise, only for it to fail. Tyree bought into a fresh, fast-growing brand, but was soon met with declining sales and increasing costs – a harsh reality of the competitive U.S. restaurant market. Today, he’s left grappling with a significant loan and a lease, fighting to morph his failed investment into a profitable venture, Tyree’s Table. Meanwhile, Diaz, once a titan of the fast-food industry, made a seemingly safe bet on Pizza Hut around a decade ago. However, despite the brand's reputation and longevity, his gamble didn't pay off either. His company, EYM Pizza Hut, spent $47 million acquiring and remodeling restaurants, only to face weak sales, poor profits, and an unsuccessful attempt at selling the business. These diverging tales share a bitter truth - franchising is not the risk-free investment it's often sold as. From budding chains to well-established names, the chances of failure are real and tangible. Add to this an increasingly turbulent business landscape, escalating costs, and consumer inflation worries, and we're left with a perilous, challenging industry. As we take lessons from the Tyree and Diaz ventures, let's debunk the easy-route myth. Franchising is not an effortless way to make your money work for you. Significant risk is attached, and so it's crucial to do your homework before jumping in. Should we continue to ignore the risks and invest in franchises? If you need help mitigating risks in your franchise business or unit, reach out - we should chat. #franchise #franchising
