Their offerings include full-service oil changes, air filter replacements, coolant exchanges and wiper blade replacements.&nbsp;The brand started in 1984 as a traditional oil change shop in Metairie, Louisiana, eventually growing to three shops in the area. In 1996, the company created the first stay-in-your-car oil change and continued to grow. It was acquired by Driven Brands in 2015 and began franchising three years later in 2018.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>How Many Locations Are There?</h3>Since franchising in 2018, Take 5 Oil Change grew to over 500 locations by 2020. The brand experienced rapid growth after franchising, having just 70 locations in 2016 before its acquisition. Today, there are over 700 locations, 23% of which are franchised, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.drivenbrands.com/news/take-5-oil-change-named-one-worlds-fastest-growing-franchises/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-deep-dive-take-5-oil-changes-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2723018#:~:text=Driven%20Brands%20acquired%20the%20Take,over%20%24625%20million%20in%202021." target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Driven Brands</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>What Is the Business Model?</h3>Take 5 Oil Change's operations are centered around five points:&nbsp; Have data at your fingertips:&nbsp;Proprietary analytics reporting arms franchisees with the data needed to drive margins. Franchisees will have the technology to run their automotive franchise better and make continuous improvements to maximize profit potential.See your business at a glance: A KPI dashboard gives franchisees up-to-the-minute insights to help them reach their goals. Multi-unit franchise owners appreciate having information for all stores in one view. This makes the business very turnkey and easy to operate. Recruit, retain and reward your team: Create a cross-functional labor force. A comprehensive training program teaches technicians all the responsibilities they could execute throughout the workday. And because mentoring is a big part of Take 5’s operations, it provides franchisees and their staff with training tools so that they have a pipeline of skilled, motivated employees who are eager to learn new skills.&nbsp;Drive customer loyalty:&nbsp;Transparency is a hallmark of the Take 5 franchise, driving customer loyalty. Customers stay in their cars for the duration of the oil change, so everything is in plain view. The brand’s business model is based on hospitality, so everything from the greeting, free water bottle, oil change and payment are done with intention.Profit from products with an unlimited shelf life: Automotive supplies never spoil, so franchisees don’t have to worry about inventory spoilage every week. Franchisees also benefit from the volume pricing and relationships of Driven Brands.<figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=31&amp;v=QjxS4qhrQ2I&amp;embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.take5franchise.com%2F&amp;source_ve_path=Mjg2NjY&amp;feature=emb_logo"><div class="iframely-embed"><div class="iframely-responsive"><iframe src="//cdn.iframe.ly/api/iframe?app=1&amp;api_key=fd3b6b3731f34f55ba1fe3&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Ftime_continue%3D31%26v%3DQjxS4qhrQ2I%26embeds_referring_euri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.take5franchise.com%252F%26source_ve_path%3DMjg2NjY%26feature%3Demb_logo" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></div></figure><h3>How Much Can Take 5 Oil Change Franchise Owners Make?</h3>As of 2020, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.franchimp.com/?page=franchisor&amp%3Bid=108825&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-deep-dive-take-5-oil-changes-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2723018" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">financial performance</a> of standard Take 5 Oil Change units was $1,026,949 per unit.
