FranNet is a service that helps prospective franchisees find the business that is the best fit, often working with clients who are looking for career transitions or have been recently laid off.

In Central Pennyslvania, there are certain trends that are definitely picking up steam. According to Buch, fast-food dining focused on high-quality ingredients are growing in interest. Recently, the market has also seen a pickup in franchises that focus on building maintenance and cleaning needs. <a href="http://www.thecleaningauthority.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=central-penn-business-journal-business-trend-expectations-in-central-pennyslvania-9086" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Cleaning Authority</a> opened in October 2016 with owners Dennis and Jamie Shepard.
