Franchise Solutions’ Business Directory Features Franchise Brands that are Consumer Favorites

April 7, 2010 - PRLog -- In our busy society, errands like shuttling children to extracurricular activities, and grabbing a tasty meal on-the-go have become a regular part of people’s daily routines. So it’s little wonder that businesses that offer enriching children’s programs and restaurants that provide convenient, delicious meals are experiencing significant growth. Franchise Solutions’ business directory features numerous franchises that are consumer favorites, including School of Rock, a music education franchise and Metro Burger^SM, a gourmet fast-casual hamburger concept (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/franchise/Metro_Burger.cfm).

The School of Rock franchise opportunity (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/franchise/School_of_Rock_Music_LLC.cfm) offers prospective business owners the chance to tap into the thriving children’s services sector with a business that boasts a nationally-recognized brand name. School of Rock, the premier worldwide brand for children’s music education and originally known as The Paul Green School of Rock Music, served as the apparent inspiration for the hit feature film, School of Rock, starring Jack Black. School of Rock franchise owners can leverage the brands’ widespread recognition, proven business system and trusted reputation.

With many schools reducing and eliminating art and music classes, the demand for the programs that School of Rock offers is growing significantly. School of Rock performance-based music schools feature a rock music program for students between the ages of seven and 19. The franchise aims to foster a new generation of musicians, and applies a unique methodology and curriculum to teach students the fundamentals so that they can become excellent musicians. While a background in music is a plus, it is not required to become a School of Rock franchise owner. Ideal candidates should have an entrepreneurial spirit, solid business and sales skills, and be an active part of the communities in which they live and work. Franchisees receive a complete business system that includes extensive training and support.

Metro Burger^SM restaurants are another concept that occupies a unique market niche. With more than 30 million possible burger combinations and locations that feature a "metro-chic" atmosphere and decor, the ultra-gourmet, fast-casual hamburger franchise has tremendous consumer appeal. As people forgo "fast food", in favor of high-quality food served quickly, and as more consumers "trade down" from full-service restaurants, fast-casual concepts like Metro Burger^SM have become the restaurants of choice for a growing number of consumers. The Metro Burger^SM franchise concept gives would-be franchisees the opportunity to capitalize on the fast-growing gourmet burger trend and own a business that attracts a vast customer base of singles, families and people on-the-go.

Previous food industry experience is not required to own a Metro Burger^SM franchise as Metro Burger^SM franchise owners receive a proven business system as well as extensive training and ongoing support from experienced, successful restaurateurs.
