Express Medical Transporters Franchise Opportunity Meets with Franchise Interviews

Listen in Wednesday, October 28 at 10AM EST

Express Medical Transporters, was founded in 1995 by its President/CEO, Bernard A. Squitieri. With more than 25 years of experience in the transportation industry, Mr. Squitieri started the company with one vehicle. Today, Express Medical Transporters is the largest for-profit non-emergency transportation company in the state of Missouri. By completing thousands of trips per year with more than 150 vehicles on the road, Express Medical Transporters is able to provide the very best in price, quality and efficiency when it comes to transportation anywhere in Missouri. Because Express Medical Transporters owns all of its vehicles, equipment and has its own maintenance facility, we are able to eliminate the middle-man, thus reducing costs and controlling other transportation variables. These circumstances make our transportation services less expensive than using a broker or even a taxicab, while providing a higher level of service. Our drivers, and the drivers for our franchisees, are trained to assist non-emergency patients, who may be confined to wheelchairs or other mobility aids, to and from necessary medical appointments including dialysis, in getting home after a hospital stay or an emergency room visit. Our drivers, and our franchisees' drivers, are D.O.T. certified and trained in first aid and CPR. In addition, every driver is subject to random drug testing and extensive background checks to insure the highest level of care by our personnel. By being able to provide all types of vehicles including wheelchair accessible vans, minivans, sedans and even busses, Express Medical Transporters, or one of EMT USA 's franchisees, can be your total transportation solution.

THE HOMETEAM INSPECTION SERVICE


THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 - THE HOMETEAM INSPECTION SERVICE MET WITH FRANCHISE INTERVIEWS


HomeTeam has carved a niche in pre-sale inspections prior to the home's listing. Home sale transactions can fall through as the result of problems discovered during a buyer's inspection but pre-sale inspections enable necessary repairs to be made ahead of time or adjust the home price accordingly to remain as attractive to buyers.

The opportunities to succeed with HomeTeam home inspection franchise are better today then ever before. When buying a home, it has become standard practice to have a home inspection before the sale closes. In fact, the number of real estate home inspections performed each year is on the rise; almost 90 percent of all homes sold are inspected.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas - Thursday, September 3 at 10AM EST


On Thursday, September 3, John Martin of Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas Franchise Opportunity Meets with Franchise Interviews.

For over 10 years, The Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas has provided a unique combination of theatre and restaurant, showing first-run and independent films while offering in-theatre food and beverage service that includes an extensive menu of freshly prepared appetizers, sandwiches, pizzas and salads as well as a wide selection of hand-crafted beers and great wines. We are the only concept in the growing cinema-eatery category that is franchising.

The typical Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has four to ten screens that resemble traditional movie theatres except rows of seats alternate with bench-style tables. Individual theatre seating ranges from 75 to 320 seats. First-come, first-serve seating begins approximately 45 minutes prior to show time. Customers are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the pre-show entertainment. Instead of a barrage of advertising, a variety of short films are shown that change on a regular basis, some with tie-ins to the feature film.

“We're proud of the fact that we don't show any advertising,” President and CEO John Martin said. “People don't want to pay for a movie and then be bombarded with 15 minutes of dancing candy and fountain drinks.”

Once seated, customers order from the menu and the friendly wait staff brings the food to their seats. Customers can continue to order throughout the movie by writing their requests using the paper and pencils on their table and placing it on the clips attached to the table. Waiters quietly collect and deliver those orders without distracting from the movie. All tabs are closed before the film ends.

August 13 at 10AM EST: Instant Tax Service


CEO, Fez Ogbazion of Instant Tax Service Meets with Franchise Interviews


Fez has an incredible story: He emigrated to the US from Ethiopia when he
was just a kid. When he began college at the University of Cincinnati, he
needed a way to earn a living that fit with his class schedule. He was
working on a degree in finance and accounting, and felt that doing taxes
would be a great fit. He could work on his skills, build a client base, and
make a little money during the short tax season. So with the help of some
credit cards and donations from friends and family, Fez opened his first tax
business.

Within five years, Fez had 26 locations in the Cincinnati, OH area. In 1999
- realizing he needed more startup capital to build the business he
envisioned - he sold the business to Jackson Hewitt and used the money from
the proceeds to found Instant Tax Service in Dayton, OH. Fez had to start
all over again, but he'd learned a lot from his first business experience.
This time, it took him just seven years to grow his business from a single
storefront to the 4th largest tax company in the U.S.

Today, Instant Tax Service has over 1,200 locations in 34 states.
Entrepreneur Magazine ranked it the #1 new franchise in the country this
year for the second year in a row. It's consistently ranked among the
National Minority Franchising Initiative's Top 50 franchises for minorities
and was recently included among the Franchise Times' Fast 55.

This Week: Jersey Mike's - Thursday, Feb. 5 at 10AM EST

Jersey Mike’s Franchise Opportunity to appear on Franchise Interviews radio show on BlogTalkRadio Thursday, February 5 at 10AM EST.

It started back in 1956 and was originally called Mike's Subs. Mike opened the small shop in the sea-side town of Point Pleasant, New Jersey. You have to remember that in 1956, there were very few franchise restaurants or hamburger chains. No chain pizza, chicken or taco restaurants, either. In 1956, proprietors or mom-and-pop businesses would open their stores in basic storefront locations like you see here. To survive and thrive, they had to offer exceptional quality products, coupled with unparalleled service. In 1956, Mike was unique in that the product he was offering was a relatively new item in American society — the submarine sandwich. Mike also benefited from the geographic location of his store. Point Pleasant, New Jersey is centrally located in the state on the legendary Jersey Shore. The rest is history!

Tune in on Thursday, February 5 at 10AM EST to find out more about the Jersey Mike’s franchise opportunity.

Is Franchise Ownership For You?

To answer this very common question, one should ponder the benefits. Since franchising includes a wide variety of industries with efficient expansion and growth, the odds are significantly higher that a franchise owner will be successful when the correct formula is used. Also, since the franchise falls under a parent company, there are benefits of a franchisor’s advice which include site selection, design, expansion, use of equipment, training, products and services, and marketing tools. Buying into an established venture allows the use of trademarks and benefits of the franchise image that may be already set in a consumer’s mind. Although a franchise owner may need to forgo some independence of entrepreneurship, the trade off is a support system that could span many years.

ShelfGenie - Thursday Jan. 22 on BlogTalk Radio

ShelfGenie Franchise Opportunity to appear on Franchise Interviews Weekly Radio Show on BlogTalkRadio Thursday, January 22, at 10AM EST.

Allan Young's successful, but short-lived, career as a small-business consultant in Richmond, Virginia was sidetracked in 2005 when he was deployed to the Middle East as an operations officer with the U.S. Army Reserve.

Young handed off some of his accounts to other consultants and returned six months later “thinking I wouldn't have any clients and would have to completely restart my business.”

One company waited. Launched out of a garage in 2000, the company designed, built and manufactured high-quality, custom Glide-Out shelving that fit existing cabinetry in kitchens, bathrooms and elsewhere throughout the home, gliding in and out with the touch of a finger and saving homeowners thousands on expensive remodeling while making their shelving more functional and easy to use.

The mother-son ownership team - Joyce Burgess and Andrew Kerwin - wanted Young to develop a growth plan and he implemented a dealership model for the business that Kerwin had launched after moving to Richmond from California , where he had worked in the shelf conversion industry and realized its potential. Within a year the company had 30 dealers throughout the country, all recruited by Young. What he saw in the industry was something he had witnessed before.

“I always viewed the closet industry as a very close cousin to ours. Looking at their history has enabled to make smarter, more strategic decisions,” Young said. “Ten to 15 years ago, the closet industry was where we were a couple of years ago. It was very fragmented and people never thought it would make it. Now you can find over 10 large, successful closet organization companies in every major market in the country.”

In what can only be described as a whirlwind, the 37-year-old Young, along with business partner and franchising veteran Barry Falcon, 56, has taken the foundation that Burgess and Kerwin established with their original concept and founded ShelfGenie Franchise Systems, the nation's only franchised provider of custom-built shelving solutions that glide in and out.

Franchising efforts were launched in May 2008. The company expects to grant two franchises a month through 2008 and expects to have 125 to 150 franchise owners by the end of 2010. ShelfGenie can be operated as a home-based business and the company is targeting major markets throughout the Northeast, Florida , Texas and California for initial growth.

ShelfGenie has planned and perfected a smooth, simple-to-operate business model.

Thursday Jan. 15 - Tune in for Naturell Franchise

Naturell Franchise Opportunity will appear on Franchise Interviews Weekly Radio Show on BlogTalkRadio Thursday, January 15, at 10AM EST.

Over the last two years, Franchise Interviews has had some of the biggest names in franchising on their weekly radio show as well as some exciting new franchise concepts. This Thursday, January 15 at 10 AM EST, franchisees to the Naturell franchise opportunity will appear on Franchise Interviews weekly radio show.

Without a college degree Mike Nero, CEO and Founder of Naturell, ventured out to the world of becoming an eco-preneur way before going green was considered "cool." Nero had been an employee for a carpet cleaning business and saw the harmful chemicals that were being used in the cleaning solutions. Nero was determined to find a solution that would be less harmful and completely organic. After all, wet carpet and dark places is the ultimate breeding ground for mold and mildew to grow - and to have your kids and pets rolling around on that is a little unsettling to the stomach.

After 10 years of testing out organic solutions out of his garage, Nero developed a cleaning solution he was completely happy with, patented it - much to his opposition - and now has a company that thrives in the San Francisco area and is opening a sea of franchises in the near future. In fact, his company, which currently has only one location, and completely organic solution is in such high demand that he turns away business opportunities, which is exactly why he wants to open more through franchising.

So here's a friendly Santa Clara that developed a completely organic solution that is, oh yeah, made from sea kelp - seaweed in Iceland 's pristine waters. Who would think about essentially rubbing seaweed on your carpeting to make for a safer environment for your kids? Nero also developed a solution that eliminates the use of gas-guzzling, vehicle powered equipment (perfect in this time of gas prices). His method even reduced drying time to 30 minutes and uses 20 times less water than traditional carpet cleaners. Talk about going green. Nero was on top of the green craze long before it was cool and he just rolled out the red carpet for a completely new segment in franchising and is making its debut as the nation's first green franchise to enter the $5.3 billion industry.

This Week: Superior Wash Franchise - Thursday Jan 8

Superior Wash Franchise Opportunity will appear on Franchise Interviews Weekly Radio Show on BlogTalkRadio Thursday, January 8, at 10AM EST.

Franchise Interviews ended 2008 with a fantastic interview with Christine Specht who is the President and COO of Cousins Subs. Cousin’s Subs is the brainchild of Bill Specht and Jim Sheppard.

Christine started working at Cousins Subs when she was 15 years old. Now 34, she assumed the role of president and COO in March 2008. Franchise Interview spoke to Christine about her transition from making subs, bussing tables and running the register to being Cousins Subs’ head honcho. After nearly 40 years in business, how does Cousins Subs continue to keep up with the ever-changing market? Go to http://www.blogtalkradio.com/franchise-interviews/2008/12/18/cousins-subs-franchise-opportunity-meets-with-franchise-interviews to hear the whole show.

This Thursday, January 8 at 10 AM EST, Franchise Interviews will meet with Vincent Garcia and Jodi Scott, founders and owners of Superior Wash , a national 24-hour mobile fleet washing company.

The company is a leader in the fleet-washing industry and services Fortune 500 clients such as Coca-Cola, Fed-Ex, UPS and Budweiser trucks. Not only does the company help to alleviate the pressure of rising gas costs for corporate-owned fleet systems by conveniently traveling to an accounts fleet site, but they also use an environmentally friendly water recovery system in doing so. The concept was founded by Vincent and Jodi, who are former independent fleet washing competitors. They devised this unique US EPA-approved eco-friendly system as another way to set themselves apart from any other player in the industry. Not only do they target markets based on a distinctive system that differs from that of many other franchises, they also handle all billing matters differently- right in corporate headquarters. Another perk – any franchisees can start the business at home, which as you mentioned on a show preview coming up, is an increasing trend. ( SOHO )
