Enduring Franchise Concepts let Would-Be Franchise Owners Leverage the Reputation of a Trusted Brand

May 17, 2010 - PRLog -- In the wake of the economic upheaval, stability and a proven track record for success are among the items topping many aspiring franchisees’ wish lists, as they search for an established business to own. Franchise Solutions’ top-ranked business directory (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/) showcases many of most well-known franchises and business opportunities. From food and restaurant franchises like Tastee Freez, to automotive aftermarket concepts like Touch Up Guys, there are a wide-range of opportunities featured on Franchise Solutions that provide prospective business owners with the chance to leverage the strength of a trusted brand.

The Tastee Freez franchise opportunity (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/franchise/Tastee_Freez.cfm) gives prospective franchisees the chance to build upon an American tradition that began in 1950 when Tastee Freez opened its first location and introduced its soft serve sundaes and cones. Over the years, the franchises’ menu has grown to include a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner items in addition to their famous soft serve treats. Tastee Freez franchisees benefit from owning a food business that competes in all day parts and features a legendary, well-recognized brand, popular menu items, and a proven business system.

Tastee Freez’s new, modern “malt shop” design includes a traditional ice cream counter with old-fashioned stools and booth seating for over 38 guests, in a manageable store footprint of less than 1,500 square feet. The architectural design also creates a strong, eye-catching contemporary exterior appearance that reinforces branding efforts, increases visibility and helps attract customers. While restaurant or retail management experience is a plus, Tastee Freez franchisees receive a complete turnkey system that includes comprehensive training, ongoing support, marketing assistance, state-of-the-art tools to manage labor and food costs and more.

In addition to long-standing food and restaurant franchises, Franchise Solutions’ business directory also features well-established concepts in many other diverse industries. For instance, the automotive appearance and repair franchise, Touch Up Guys was launched nearly 20 years ago and offers would-be franchisees the opportunity to join the lucrative, recession-resistant automotive aftermarket industry. By providing convenient, onsite bumper and plastic component repair and refinishing services, Touch Up Guys fills a unique, high-demand niche in the collision repair sector (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/automotive_appearance_r...).

A background in collision repair is not required to own a Touch Up Guys franchise, as franchisees receive extensive training and support, and a complete business system. Franchise owners focus on building customer relationships, planning marketing campaigns and interacting with clients, while their employees perform the technical repairs. Touch Up Guys franchisees also enjoy the advantages of owning a low-overhead, home-based business that features flexible business hours, minimal staffing requirements and cutting-edge technology.

Regardless of which industries interest you, established franchises and business opportunities provide you with the chance to leverage the brand recognition and proven business systems that enduring concepts offer.
