Summer’s Rising Temperatures are a Boon for Certain Franchises

July 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Summer ushers in a whole new way of life and offers a much-needed respite from months spent indoors. Almost as predictable as the beach-going crowds that summer brings, is the seemingly universal demand for particular products and services. As people spend more time outdoors, the interest in everything from tackling home improvement projects, to enjoying refreshing frozen treats, increases along with the rising temperatures. From home improvement franchises like Frames N Panes, which offers window restoration services, to ice cream and frozen dessert concepts, like the Fruti frozen novelties distribution franchise, a variety of concepts featured on Franchise Solutions’ business directory cater to consumers’ summertime needs.

Going Green Begins at Home for Many Eco-Minded Consumers
With the warmer weather comes a renewed interest in accomplishing home improvement projects. In addition to the desire to enhance their homes’ appearance, many environmentally-conscious homeowners are looking for sustainable solutions that complement their green living practices. The Frames N Panes franchise opportunity (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/franchise/Frames_N_Pane...) provides you with the chance to tap into this thriving sector. Frames N Panes franchisees offer quick, convenient, onsite window restoration and repair services that help them attract a large audience of busy, eco-minded customers. By repairing and restoring window frames, screens and glass, rather than replacing them, Frames N Panes is a leader in the green movement, preventing tons of plastic and glass from being disposed of in landfills.

Frames N Panes franchise owners benefit from owning an environmentally-friendly franchise that features a proven business system and a vast customer base. As one of North America's fastest-growing home-based franchise businesses, Frames N Panes provides window restoration and repair services that cater to the needs of homeowners throughout the country. Frames N Panes franchisees enjoy numerous competitive advantages, including a reasonable initial investment, fixed royalties that are flat-rate based and a home-based, mobile business model. Prospective franchisees should possess sales and marketing skills, management and leadership experience, a positive attitude and the willingness to make a full-time commitment to running the business. Franchisees receive a complete business system that includes a startup marketing package, comprehensive training and support, as well as access to proprietary processes, technology and products.

Beating the Heat with Refreshing Frozen Treats
Ice cream, popsicles and other frozen confections provide a sweet treat and much-needed refreshment, especially on hot days. For aspiring business owners who are interested in becoming part of the ice cream and frozen dessert segment, the Natural Fruit Corporation’s, Fruti franchise opportunity (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/franchise/Natural_Fruit...), offers an appealing alternative to traditional ice cream retail concepts. The Fruti franchise lets would-be franchisees become part of the recession-resistant ice cream and frozen dessert industry without the overhead and other expenses typically associated with owning a brick and mortar retail location.

The Fruti franchise program is a frozen novelties distribution concept. Each Fruti franchise territory includes 200 locations for placing reach-in, waist-high, branded freezers that feature 100% natural fruit, Chunks O’ Fruti® frozen bars and MARS brand frozen treats including Dove®, Snickers® and Twix® ice cream bars. The extensive selection of popular products that the freezers contain pleases both the retail accounts and the customers that frequent their establishments. For more than 25 years, the company’s founders have been manufacturing frozen, 100% natural fruit bars and providing products to the entire United States, as well as international clients. Fruti franchisees benefit from the company’s trusted reputation, established track record and well-recognized products. Franchisees also receive a complete business system that includes complete initial training and professional ongoing support.
