<p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">The only constant in the world of franchising is change, and the modern business world is no exception. From senior care to the brand-new world of U.S. marijuana franchising, the following are five segments that are heating up and only look to get hotter: <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Senior care One in 7 Americans qualifies as a senior citizen. Sound too high? Just wait. One in 5 Americans will be 65 or older by 2029, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">With longer lives comes a growing population of elderly Americans, as well as greater demand for senior care. It&#8217;s for this reason that businesses like Right at Home*, a leading in-home elder care franchise, are thriving. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">You can&#8217;t fight Father Time, and as long as current aging trends stay on course, this segment will have a bright future. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Customized food experiences If you were to boil down what modern consumers want into one word, it would be &#8220;choice.&#8221; That explains why franchises such as YourPie, Menchie&#8217;s and MOOYAH are grabbing customer attention. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">What do a pizza franchise, frozen yogurt chain and burger business have in common? They all offer consumers customized dishes. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">These franchises aren&#8217;t just impressing hungry consumers with tasty treats, they&#8217;re also tapping into the thirst today&#8217;s shoppers have for variety. People want options, and these businesses are tickling the psychological pleasure centers consumers have for choice. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Fast-growing food brands While some franchises are excelling through choice, others are focusing on reach. <h3 style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Which Wich, Checkers, Beef &#8216;O&#8217; Brady&#8217;s &#8211; these brands and others are giving the old guard a run for their money when it comes to omnipresence. With each boasting 100 locations and counting, these are the names to watch in the world of franchising.</h3><div> Recession-friendly services While economic recovery in the U.S. continues slowly yet steadily, certain business models were able to withstand the financial downturn with aplomb. Case in point: Sport Clips.</div> <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"> The chain of male-centric haircut salons offers consumers a service they require regardless of how the overall economy is performing. While many people may have cut down on eating out in years past, most weren&#8217;t rushing to replace their trips to the barber with a home haircut. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">And with more people finding extra cash in their wallets these days, franchises like Sport Clips will likely only see more growth. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Unchartered territory Some franchises are going out on a limb in new business areas, and these trailblazers could see their willingness to try something different pay off big. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">The &#8220;blaze&#8221; in trailblazers is especially appropriate for Palm Beach Vapors, the Tulsa, Oklahoma-based electronic cigarette franchise. The brand is betting on a bright future for marijuana sales with more states looking to follow the examples set by Washington and Colorado when it comes to legalization. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Even in states where recreational marijuana use remains a no-no, medical marijuana may be available. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">By getting in on the ground floor with a cannabis oil product that can be incorporated into common e-cigs, Palm Beach Vapors has a business opportunity that isn&#8217;t likely to go up in smoke any time soon.
