This month, we have highlighted a number of great franchise brands to watch. Now, let’s recap five brands to have on your radar when considering a franchise opportunity.

Sport Clips*
Sport Clips continues to prove its value to franchisees and recently celebrated a great milestone — opening a location in its 50th state. With all those locations, the brand remains incredibly stable, as it has seen only five stores close since 2010.

Jersey Mike’s
Jersey Mike’s not only offers delicious sandwiches and second-to-none franchise opportunities, the brand also has heart. On the heels of a $100,000 donation to No Kid Hungry, Jersey Mike’s is truly an opportunity franchisees can be proud to be a part of.

Alair Homes
Alair Homes has already seen incredible success throughout Canada, but now the home-building brand is expanding throughout the United States. Alair Homes’ first U.S franchisee David Letourneau is already seeing his work with Alair pay off, saying: “From a franchise perspective, it’s low-dollar entry, and there’s no limit to the upside of what a person can make. There’s nothing that compares to this.”

Famous Toastery
Though egg prices may be rising, that is not stopping Famous Toastery from doing what it does best: eggs. With CEO Robert Maynard’s background in banking and refusal to back down from a price surge in its No. 1 ingredient, Famous Toastery is proving to be a great franchise opportunity with no signs of slowing down.

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK*®
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®
, the leading moving franchise, continues to see incredible growth in 2015, and is poised to see that growth continue. With plans for even more expansion throughout the U.S., Canada, Ireland, and the U.K., the time has never been better to realize your franchising dreams with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®.
