Franchise FastLane Rear View Mirror: What Happened in October

October may have ushered in cooler weather and beautiful fall colors, but things are still RED HOT at Franchise FastLane! With many industry and company updates, we present our monthly edition of Franchise FastLane’s Rear View Mirror: What Happened in October.

New Brands Prepare for Life in the FASTLANE!

Earlier this month, Franchise FastLane announced the addition of two new brands to our portfolio of top-notch franchise opportunities. We welcomed both The Tox and Canopy Lawn Care, two unique and emerging franchise brands that have something special to offer tomorrow’s franchise owners.

The Tox is a personal wellness service that focuses on lymphatic and digestive body sculpting. With a quick-to-open, small footprint, low investment and high average ticket, The Tox produces high-profit margins, driven in part by their full proprietary and toxin-free product line called The Tox Shop. This brand brings a FIRST to the FastLane with the corporate team providing done-for-you influencer and social media management to all franchisees handled by the franchisor! Talk about INCREDIBLE.

Lawns and grass are EVERYWHERE. So, when Canopy Lawn Care inquired about partnering with Franchise FastLane it was a no-brainer. Plus, this franchise is partnered with a company we love and trust, Empower Brands. With this Empower Brands partnership comes support in all aspects of the business, from operations to technology to marketing and more! Franchisees are set up for success day one! The best part is this is not a seasonal business! With their subscription-based recurring revenue model, franchisees can scale their business year-round.

We’ve Been Out Networking Again…

Franchise FastLane was also well-represented at two important industry gatherings this month. We first attended “Frantober Fest,” FranNet’s Annual Fall Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was a wonderful week filled with great networking and dressing up for Costumes for a Cause at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. We ended the month in Hollywood, Florida at the annual International Franchise Professionals Group (IFPG) Retreat. Our team hosted the first ever “Froscars” and had the best time with our valued partners celebrating life change. #WEAREFAMILY

Franchise FastLaners in the News

We wanted to give you a heads-up on a few stories that will appear soon in some industry news trade outlets. CEO Carey Gille finished authoring two thought leadership pieces – bylines that will be published in both Authority Magazine and Franchising Magazine USA. And, Adam Geisler, the CEO of Soccer Stars, was recently interviewed for an upcoming profile feature in Franchise Times Magazine!

In Case You Missed It (ICYMI)…

Here are a few more items from this month – just in case you missed it. As you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and everyone at Franchise FastLane wore pink to bring awareness and support those facing or who have faced breast cancer. We also shared some awesome blogs featuring Bloomin’ Blinds and The Brothers That Just Do Gutters. And because of Halloween, we held our annual brand costume contest.
