Franchises that Cater to Consumers' Summertime Needs see Business Heat Up

PRLog (Press Release) - Jul. 2, 2010 - Anticipation seems to fill the air in the summer as people of all ages look forward to spending time with family and friends, taking in the sunshine and enjoying a taste of freedom. As consumers embrace all that summer brings, businesses that help people make the most of the season are experiencing increased demand. From well-known lodging franchises like Choice Hotels International, to health club concepts like Anytime Fitness and moving franchises such as Two Men and a Truck, numerous businesses featured on Franchise Solutions’ business directory cater consumers’ summertime needs.

Choosing the Right Hotel can Make or Break a Vacation
Lodging accommodations can make the difference between a great trip and a mediocre one, which is why many travelers opt to stay at well-known hotel chains. By offering the same or similar accommodations, amenities and services, at all locations, trusted hotel franchises attract a loyal following of customers who take confidence in knowing they’re booking their stay at a property that will meet their needs and expectations. The Choice Hotels International franchise opportunity provides aspiring business owners with the chance to leverage this powerful, instant, built-in consumer loyalty and become part of the lucrative hotel industry.

With over 65 years of industry experience, Choice Hotels International (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/franchise/Choice_Hotels...) is one of the leading hotel franchisors in the world. Comfort Inn®, Quality®, Clarion®, Cambria Suites®, MainStay Suites®, Rodeway Inn® and Ascend Collection® are among the company’s 11 popular brand concepts. Choice Hotels International franchisees receive all of the tools and resources necessary to run a top hotel franchise; including a reservation delivery system and co-op marketing programs that drive guests to their hotel, as well as complete training and ongoing support from a team of dedicated experts.

Shaping up for Summer
With people juggling hectic schedules and with the growing emphasis on health and wellness, now is an ideal time to own a 24/7 health club franchise (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/franchise/Anytime_Fitne...). In addition to benefitting from owning a business that meets the needs of busy, health-conscious consumers, Anytime Fitness franchisees also enjoy the advantages of owning a business that features minimal staffing requirements and has been recognized as a top franchise by Entrepreneur magazine, Franchise Business Review and USA Today.

On the Move
Two Men and a Truck (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/franchise/Two_Men_and_A...), is a leading moving franchise that simplifies the relocation process by offering consumers a range of packing and moving services and supplies. The Two Men and a Truck franchise opportunity provides would-be business owners with the chance to own an in-demand business in the stable moving industry. Previous moving industry experience is not necessary to join the leading moving franchise, as Two Men and a Truck franchise owners receive a complete business system that includes comprehensive training, and franchisees focus on managing the business, not loading and unloading trucks.

Well-known franchise brands that experience strong demand throughout the year as well as an uptick in business during the summer months, offer prospective business owners considerable advantages.
