In Home Pet Services, Inc. celebrates 10 years in March 2013!
Today IHPS has 8 locations, 7 of which are franchisees all throughout Queens, Brooklyn, Nassau County and soon to expand into Suffolk County on Long Island. With 19 employees and well over 1,000 clients at her Northeast Queens location alone, Robyn continues to provide steady employment during the recession when many businesses were having layoffs. IHPS’s growth took off during the recession gaining 6 of the 7 franchise locations starting in late 2008 and proving that pet owners want the best pet care they can get regardless of the economy.
Robyn was awarded the Pet Safe Educator of the Year for 2011 by Pet Safe Coalition and IHPS was voted Best of 2012 (1st place) and Best of 2013 (2nd place) for best pet sitting and pet boarding company by readers of Long Island Press newspaper. IHPS also offers Pet CPR & First Aid Classes, and Robyn teaches the classes monthly as she is a certified Pet Tech and has been teaching the class since 2007. All of her franchise owners and employees are trained in pet CPR and first aid, the only pet sitting company to offer this serious peace of mind for their clients.
“I always had family members asking, ‘How many clients do you have now?’ as they were always amazed by my growth. They would joke how I would have 1000 clients one day and I always responded with a laugh and brushed it off as something not in my reach. While I worked day and night, and always had high ambitions, I never dreamed that In Home Pet Services would be what it is today,” said Robyn Elman, President of In Home Pet Services. She went on to say, “My hard work and dedication has really paid off. I am rewarded every day, by making so many pets and owners happy, by providing jobs to the community, and my helping fellow entrepreneurs succeed and own their own successful pet business. I am always striving to do more and make IHPS better - but when I take a step back and look at how far I come - I am very proud."
IHPS also offers many ways in which they give back to their community, doing yearly pet food and supply drive call ‘MayDay for Mutts’ to give to participating animal rescue groups. IHPS have collected thousands of dollars worth of pet food and supplies for many different rescue groups. They also have monthly free ‘Smushed Face meetups’ run by Heather Lehrman the owner of the IHPS of Nassau’s Gold Coast – who just happens to own a Boston terrier. Robyn has also been featured as an expert speaker at local networking events and always goes out of her way to connect with others in the pet industry.
A regularly featured guest on News 12 Long Island’s Animal Island segments, Robyn offers very important pet advice to the viewers. IHPS is also regularly featured on FIOS 1 news channel, MyLITV and has been featured in several articles offering pet information and advice in local and national magazines and newspapers.
What is next for IHPS? Robyn continues to strive to find more dedicated animal lovers to expand IHPS into Suffolk County, Westchester, and throughout the Tri-State Area. “I want to provide pet owners everywhere the same level of service and dedication that our current clients throughout Brooklyn, Queens, and Nassau now experience. People are always amazed to find out how affordable owning your own IHPS location can be. We want to find people with a passion for pets over people who just want a large bankroll. Our first priority is the care of our clients pets, and we can’t wait to offer that to more locations,” stated Robyn Elman.
About In Home Pet Services, Inc.: In Home Pet Services (IHPS) was started in 2003 by Robyn Elman, a former Zookeeper at the Wildlife Conservation Society at the Bronx Zoo, who also has a degree in Biology from Binghamton University. With her love of animals and head for business, In Home Pet Services has quickly expanded to 8 locations, 7 of which are franchised.

The new burrito presents a unique twist on chimichurri, a classic Argentinean sauce.

Guests can also order chimichurri as an alternative to Salsarita’s many flavorful salsa varieties. It offers a tangy complement to salads, tacos and other dishes, and pairs exceptionally well with the grilled-to-perfection Fajita Vegetables, which can be added to any dish.
“We’re thrilled to unveil the new Chimichurri Fajita Burrito,” said Salsarita’s CEO Phil Friedman. “The flavor profile is bold and exciting – it’s our own take on a classic recipe, reflecting our ability to take inspiration from both traditional and modern influences to create something totally unexpected and absolutely delicious.” Founded in 2000 in Charlotte, N.C., Salsarita’s offers Mexican favorites such as signature Casaritos®, Mexican pizza-inspired Cantizzas®, and an assortment of tacos, quesadillas and nachos made fresh to order with an extensive selection of proteins, toppings and fillings, as well as six flavorful house-made salsas.

Representing Baylor University in the competition, the Gut Pak has seen what seems to be a never-ending stream of current students, alumni and locals returning to Vitek’s for their before, during and after game meals. Loyalty to the dish hasn’t waned since it was invented in 1983, by 3rd generation owner Bill Vitek, who operated the family business for 37 years.
A Growing Family Legacy
The 98-year-old restaurant, set to begin franchising later this year, is in its 4th generation of family ownership. According to current owner Julie Vitek Keith, great granddaughter of original proprietor William Vitek, the idea of family goes well beyond the restaurant’s ownership. “We have Baylor alumni bringing their children and grandchildren here every week,” she says. “They consider Vitek’s part of their legacy as much as we do, and we’re proud to be a part of their lives.”
Now according to Vitek, adding the Cooking Channel’s Best College Eats crown to that legacy may well be within reach. “After a solid first round win, we have momentum going into the Sweet 16. Baylor students, alumni, our friends and the local Waco community are ready to carry us through the competition,” says Vitek, giving a nod to the enthusiastic support the Gut Pak has received in online voting. “Around Baylor they are usually yelling the school cheer ‘Sic ‘em Bears,’ but lately the chant ‘Sic ‘em Gut Pak’ can be heard,” she says, as this family-owned restaurant pushes for a national title.
Gut Pak Fuels Growth
A landmark since 1915, Vitek’s Bar-B-Q, at 1600 Speight Ave., Waco TX., offers a full menu of delicious true Texas barbecue, wraps, sliced beef, turkey, homemade sausage, pulled pork, ribs, and all of the extras. The Waco restaurant is perhaps best known as the Home of the Gut Pak™. In addition, Vitek’s offers full service catering for parties of any size, an outdoor Biergarten and the Gut Pak Shak, Vitek’s 2nd 2 window drive-thru at 3428 Franklin Ave. Waco, TX.

The Business of Travel is Booming
Although the internet is a dominant force in the sale of travel, surprisingly the number of people booking by phone and in the high street is very significant. In fact it is estimated that only 28% of the public actually booking holidays and accommodation direct with operators online. The remaining 72% of sales are booked with online travel agents, on the phone, with high street agents and with personal travel consultants.
Paul Harrison of The Travel Franchise reports that “January was our busiest month for holiday sales in the last 5 years. Average booking values have increased as have the average number of bookings being made by each member of our team”. As well as increasing holiday sales. The Travel Franchise has seen a growing number of people joining their business to offer personal and tailor made travel services. Although The Travel Franchise is just one of a number of options for people wanting to get into travel, their continued growth is testament to their success.

Finance and Former Wall Street Executive Steve Picarillo Launches Into Franchise Consulting
"I am truly excited about the opportunity to help entrepreneurs across the globe find a business to match their needs" Mr. Picarillo said in a statement. He continued, "There are so many displaced executives, under-employed, recently retired and budding entrepreneurs that are looking for the right business to invest in, we can help them find their match". The franchise consulting business, which will be offered under the brand name of Creative Franchise Group, has access to a portfolio of over 450 franchises. Creative Franchise's goal is to find the one franchise that is best suited for the entrepreneur.
CAG launched its new website, http://www.creativefranchisegroup.com, which is a data base for anyone who is considering a franchise for their next career.
Steve continued "Over the past nine months, I have focused my efforts on helping individuals and businesses become the best they can and now, with the addition of the franchise consulting business, my team and I will be able to help this often under-served group of individuals find a career or an investment that suites them best”. Steve added that he is particularly fond of this business, given the number of franchise offerings, the wide range of franchises and the importance of finding the proper match to help ensure the success and happiness of all parties involved.
“Our services are offered free of charge to the potential franchisee so it’s a win-win for all. In today's economic and business environment, more and more executives are finding themselves being downsized and then quickly become discouraged in their job hunt. Moreover, recent college graduates and returning veterans continue to struggle to find jobs. Operating a franchise is often the best solution, as it allows the entrepreneur to be their own boss while having control on their destiny in business” concluded Mr. Picarillo.
The franchise industry has grown beyond fast food and doughnuts. In the US, approximately 11% of all businesses are franchise businesses and the rate of success for franchises is much greater than that of non-franchise businesses.
Steve, who is an accomplished financial analyst, author, an expert on global banks, business management, the economic environment and a motivational speaker, recently formed Creative Advisory Group, Inc. to house his various advisory efforts. Mr. Picarillo’s credentials can be found at http://www.stevepicarillo.com. CAG's website is http://www.creativeadvisorygroup.com.

Creative Franchise Group Launches Program To Assist Displaced Executives
Given the importance of networking, the executive calls and emails everyone they know, asking for help and contacts. Although the friends and colleagues have good intentions, with the unemployment rate over hovering between 7% and 8%, neither bears fruit. Creative Franchise Group (CFG), the franchise consultants of Creative Advisory Group, Inc, (CAG) has launched the 'Executive Campaign' to provide an additional resource to those seeking to replace an executive-level job.
“The demand for franchise ownership typically increases in times of high unemployment,” said Steve Picarillo, president of CAG. “We are a valuable resource for anyone who is looking for a business because we are specialists in matching people interested in business ownership to franchise opportunities.” The company’s logo is 2 matching puzzle pieces, which can be found are www.creativefranchisegroup.com. “Creative Franchise works with over 450 franchises and has the tools to narrow in on a franchise business that best match the franchisee candidate’s requirements,” added Mr. Picarillo

The consultants work with the executive throughout the entire process, from the initial information gathering stage through the signing of the franchise contract.
“Our goal is to make the negative event of losing a job a positive, as it may be the perfect time for a change” continued Mr. Picarillo. “I am a believer that everything happens for a reason, often the loss of a job provides the push that initiates the franchise search,” Steve concluded.
As part of the ‘Executive campaign’, the Creative Group will reach out to recruiters, job boards, and other job search professionals to educate them about the free services, so that they can inform their clients. Secondly, over the next few weeks, Steve Picarillo, CFG and CAG will host a series of webinars to discuss topics such as the executive job search this environment, branding, and franchise ownership.

A dozen reasons to buy a franchise
At Maxi understand that own and operate your own business at the same time potentially could be one of the most exciting, rewarding and challenging work experiences in the life of an entrepreneur. While exciting times lie ahead for these businessmen, they should also be aware of the potential pitfalls, as statistics show that only about 20% of all new enterprises will succeed. How to decide on a restaurant as your business of choice is often considered a risky decision, as the food market is undoubtedly a highly competitive and is saturated with a variety of choices and price competitors, which is why it is so important to work with a successful food franchisor instead.
In light of these factors, people must be able to answer Yes to the dozen questions below, to see if they are suitable for the restaurant business:
1. I am a hands-on operator?
2. I am willing to work long hours?
3. I am willing to protect my trademark?
4. I'm a service and people oriented person?
5. they are willing to go the extra mile for my clients and my brand?
6. I am willing to learn?
7. I am willing to add value?
8. I am a reactive or proactive person?
9. are non-discriminatory?
10. do not understand the importance of operating national standards?
11. do not understand that greater involvement at store level equals more profit?
12. do not have the prerequisite finances?
Don't ask these questions to scare by the prospect of owning his own restaurant, but simply to highlight the fact that you will need to address. Studies have shown that the attempt to deal with the food industry alone is a very risky proposition, which is why I'm arguing rather put your faith and your investment-a success story of proven franchises such as Maxi.
With quick-service fashion 70 sit down restaurants in operation across all nine provinces of South Africa, Maxi is fast becoming the number one family restaurant at national level and then followed a strong brand.
Having entrenched in food and franchise industry since its birth in Pretoria in 1993 and after winning the Franchise Association of South Africa Brand Builder of the Year award, consumers understand what to expect from the brand of Maxi and as important, know what to pay for a higher bid healthy meal served in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
Potential franchisees realize that this chain of family-owned restaurant offers significant investment opportunities and career through the franchisor's guidance, training and mentoring. Understand also that Maxi is committed to giving back to the community in which the affiliates and team members live and work to provide a better quality of life, and we strive to create an organization that all stakeholders are proud to be involved.
If you can relate to this ethos and have a passion to reach the upper echelons of success in the field of food chain and really the desire to own a business with a proven recipe for financial success, Maxi is the company for you.

Iconic Retailer to Introduce New Franchising Program at 2013 National Hardware Show
Scott Nichols, Director of Franchise Business Development for Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc., will be exhibiting at the show (Booth No. 3437) to discuss the “mini-showroom” and other franchising opportunities offered by the company.
“This show provides the perfect setting for us to reach business owners that are looking for ways to distinguish their hardware store from others in the category,” Nichols said. “Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores is offering an avenue for businesses to do just that through our different franchising programs.”
The “mini-showroom” opportunity is an extension of the Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores’ conventional Home Appliance Showroom model and allows hardware and related category store owners to insert a small showroom with top appliance brands into their existing store.
Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores embraces the practice of “showrooming” that many big-box home improvement, home goods and appliance retailers are running away from. The company is insulated from consumers checking out products in the showrooms and leaving to purchase elsewhere because only Sears sells all of the top 10 appliance brands, including exclusive brands like Kenmore, and guarantees the lowest price on any of those brands. Each showroom is also equipped with an internet kiosk where employees can show customers similar products, price match with other retailers and order products not available in the showroom.
In addition to the showroom business model, Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores also offers franchising opportunities through its Sears Appliance & Hardware Stores and Sears Outlet models. With four different store formats and several franchise opportunities, Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores offers a unique business opportunity with valuable brand recognition for entrepreneurs interested in a scalable model. As the fourth largest appliance retailer in the country, Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores provides franchisees with extensive initial and ongoing training, support, purchasing power, inventory assortment and management and, as may be appropriate, assistance with financing, back-end management, computer systems and marketing. Mr. Nichols will be on site to answer questions about all of the store formats of Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores and to educate attendees about hardware store new development and conversion opportunities.
“We’re also excited about the new, smaller Hardware store franchise opportunity we will be offering to existing owners of either Hardware franchisees or independent store owners,” Nichols added. “This opportunity will give current hardware store owners the chance to add the Sears brand name to their portfolio and benefit from the support and product assortment that we offer.”
For more information about Sears Hometown & Outlet Stores, please visit www.shos.com. To learn about the opportunity to own and operate a Sears Home Appliance Showroom, Sears Appliance & Hardware Store or other formats, please visit www.ownasearsstore.com.

Libertana, a Healthcare Franchise, Advocates for Families and Revolutionizes Home Health
As the only healthcare franchise providing excellent services and products at reasonable prices, Libertana is quickly becoming one of the most important franchises in the United States.
Freeing Clients from High Fees
At its core, Libertana frees clients from the high fees demanded by the traditional medical supply store and home health agency and franchise.
Libertana also provides guidance and offers products to businesses attempting to comply with the ADA, many of which do not understand how to support customers with disabilities.
Large Manufacturer Discounts
As one of the only national medical supplies providers, Libertana receives large manufacturer discounts because it purchases in bulk.
Additionally, Libertana reduces unnecessary overhead by only offering products that are medically necessary, and by not pre-stocking large amounts of products, saving money on employee and storage costs.
Libertana can then offer families and businesses high-quality safety and mobility products at much lower prices than the local wheelchair or medical supply store.
Cutting Out the Middleman
The home health industry is a $300 billion per year industry, and is one of the fastest-growing areas of the American economy.
Home health agencies and franchises have made millions of dollars by taking advantage of the fact that families do not understand the real cost of home health.
Nearly all home health agencies and franchises act like a “middleman” or “broker,” and do not allow families to pay caregivers directly.
Instead, these agencies and franchises pay caregivers a small wage and charge clients double the amount they pay the caregiver.
By using the vast majority of agencies and franchises, a family needing a full-time caregiver could easily end up paying an extra $35,000 per year.
Libertana’s rates are significantly lower because Libertana allows families to hire a secure, experienced caregiver directly.
Safe, Turnkey Solution for Families
Libertana was founded to be a full-service, personalized solution for families. By providing exceptional services and products at fair rates, Libertana is able to advocate for its clients and provide them with a wide range of personalized assistance.
As the first franchise to offer mobile doctor, mobile dental and mobile hearing aid services, Libertana is providing families with much needed support.
Major Financial Support
Libertana recently had major success in its seed round of financing, although company insiders have refused to verify numbers about its high valuation.
Libertana’s high valuation appears to be due to experienced leadership, savvy marketing, and the obvious gap in the healthcare market – there is not yet a nationally recognized brand offering medical supplies, and Libertana is quickly on its way to becoming that brand.

Web Design Firm Offers Franchise Opportunity
The program provides one-on-one guidance from Walker for 12 month period over the phone, Skype, in-person or via email. In addition to the one-on-one guidance the program comes with a full written guide and outline from start up to overcoming any and all issues that might arise while running a web design business.
“I have been thinking about doing this for years and now seems like a great time.” Walker says. “I have worked with a few people now and had some very good success, so I organized things and put the program together.” Walker added.
The one-on-one, customized attention and focus is one of the things that makes the franchise opportunity unique. The other is that there are no monthly franchise fees, there is only a one time cost.
Being accepted into the program requires an initial query from the company’s website, a basic questionnaire then a one-on-one interview. Not all applicants are accepted.
“Each franchisee represents a very big commitment from in terms of time, motivation and resources.” Walker says “So I am very careful who I work with, not everyone is cut out for, or ready to start their own business and make at least one year commitment themselves.”
Walker has worked with a number of other successful web design and ad agency type companies and has had very good results. Walker has been in the web design business since the late 90’s and has designed, developed and launched hundreds of websites over the years.
The web design business franchise program has a one time fee of $55,000.00 and includes projected earnings potential of approximately $25,000.00 to $45,000.00 for the first year and from $45,000.00 to $65,000.00 for the second year and over $65,000.00 for years following.
“I have been self employed for most of my adult life” says Walker “I know what I am doing and I want to help other people succeed like I have. We have had a lot of interest in the program, but spaces are very limited. We have to maintain a very high level of service to each franchisee.” Walker added.
