Frenchies differentiates itself from typical nail salons by avoiding acrylic nails and harsh chemicals, focusing instead on customer service and a clean, airy atmosphere. This approach aligns with their motto, "<a href="https://1851franchise.com/frenchies/clean-before-clean-was-cool-why-frenchies-modern-nail-care-is-set-to-usher-in-a-brand-new-era-of-affordably-luxurious-nail-salons-2722190#stories">We love clean</a>," which resonated well with customers even before the pandemic.&nbsp;The Coffeys, former <a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-anytime-fitness-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2721087">Anytime Fitness</a> franchisees, opened the first Frenchies in Colorado to test their theory that customers would pay more for higher quality nail services and a better experience. By 2019, Frenchies had signed agreements for 100 locations, but the pandemic forced a pause in franchise development. During this time, the company focused on developing its product line and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/frenchies/a-breath-of-fresh-air-10-reasons-to-buy-a-frenchies-modern-nail-care-franchise-2722697#featured">refining its business model.</a>Despite the pandemic's impact, Frenchies has seen a robust recovery, with Guy noting a significant increase in average ticket prices and top-line sales. Approximately 30% to 40% of monthly revenue comes from memberships, providing stability for&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/frenchies/multi-unit-frenchies-franchise-owner-all-in-to-revolutionize-the-nail-care-industry-2723507#featured">franchise owners</a>. Post-pandemic demand remained strong, dispelling initial concerns that it was merely a temporary surge.The Coffeys, after evaluating various private equity firms, felt aligned with Riverside's vision and strategy for Frenchies. With the deal finalized on November 8, Guy Coffey will become the brand president of Frenchies, and the couple retains an ownership stake. Riverside's plan involves bolstering franchise sales and marketing, driving growth with current franchisees, and expanding into new markets. The acquisition also presents a unique phase for the Coffeys, transitioning from founders to playing a pivotal role in the brand's next growth stage.“I haven’t worked for anybody since 1998,” said Guy. “We’re always going to be the founders, but our job was to grow it and now to deliver on the promises we’ve made to our team. We’ve built the foundation … and now we get to be part of the next stage."For more information on Frenchies, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/frenchies">https://1851franchise.com/frenchies</a>Read the full article,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.franchisetimes.com/franchise_news/riverside-buys-frenchies-modern-nail-care-marking-pe-firm-s-50th-franchise-investment/article_5e69785e-83fc-11ee-94fa-07209a9c6d87.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=frenchies-modern-nail-care-purchased-by-pe-firm-the-riverside-company-2724305" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
