The Gift of Franchising: 5 Brands perfect for fathers

Dads are busy people. Even if the men in our lives tend to take things into their own hands and handle their own business, it’s nice to give them a break every once and a while. As we celebrate Father’s Day this weekend, we wanted to highlight five brands that give dad the perfect excuse to sit back and let someone else do all the work for once:   House Doctors URL: http://www.housedoctors.com/handyman_franchise_opportunity.aspx Investment: $86,000 - $112,500 That honey-do list sure can add up quickly. On top of that, not every dad is handy with a wrench or has all the right tools at all the right times. That’s why we love House Doctors. As the industry leader in home repair and handyman services, one phone call to a House Doctor in your area means all those little projects on your list get taken care of by an expert craftsman at a time that is convenient for you. House Doctors can even tackle larger projects, like roof and storm damage repairs, which means dad can leave the ladder in the garage.   Men In Kilts URL: http://www.meninkilts.com/franchise-locations/ Investment: $40,900 - $106,900 Speaking of ladders, window washing is another daunting task best left to professionals, but even the pros can have some fun with their work. Men In Kilts, a professional window and exterior cleaning service, can do all of the work for you in an eco-friendly manner all while decked out in Kilts, providing an entertaining scene for you and your neighbors (but, just like their shirts say, no peeking is allowed). With employees (did we mention they wear Kilts) who are kind, fully insured and bonded, and with service provided 6 days a week, why wouldn’t you hire Men In Kilts?   MOOYAH URL: http://www.mooyah.com/franchise-info/ Investment: $334,950 - $ 529,700 Every father is the master of his own grill, which also means every father has the potential to mess up those burgers for the backyard cookout. Thankfully, you have the option of running to MOOYAH Burger which, in our opinion, is the best “better burger” concept on the map. Serving up burgers made with 100% fresh lean American beef that is never frozen on freshly baked buns, MOOYAH also offers over 20 choice toppings, letting you customize your burger any way you could possibly want it. MOOYAH also operates the MOOYAH Cookout Trailer, bringing the entire MOOYAH experience right to your backyard or special event.   Mr. Electric URL: http://www.leadingtheserviceindustry.com/AboutMrElectric.asp Investment: $75,400 - $173,000 It’s 1851’s opinion that any project that involves electricity should be kept far, far away from dad. Whether it’s a busted wall outlet, adding a dimmer switch or even outdoor and landscape lighting, Mr. Electric will get the job done right the first time, without hair-raising moments involved. Mr. Electric electricians can even perform an energy savings inspection of your home and provide solutions that can save you money on your electrical bill, which will put a smile on any dad’s face.   AAMCO URL: http://www.aamcofranchises.com/ Investment: $232,500 - $299,700 Even the most car-savvy dad needs help when it comes to that perpetually lit “Check Engine” light. That’s why we love AAMCO, car care professionals that can take care of everything from transmissions to tune-ups and everything in between. With locations in all 50 states, dad can put away the oil rag and keep his hands clean while the friendly technicians makes sure his car is running in top shape. And, with AAMCO’s new iGAAUGE app, dad can even perform diagnostics on his car before bringing it into the shop, so he can still feel like the expert in the situation.
