With so many different franchise opportunities available, it can be difficult to navigate through them all during your search. More unusual, niche brands may fall under the radar as a result of the high saturation of food and fitness franchises. It is important for potential franchisees to seek out these unique offerings to get a thorough picture of all available options&ndash;and to ensure they don&rsquo;t miss out on some industry trailblazers.

1851 compiled a list of five unique opportunities that entrepreneurs should investigate when considering joining a franchise system.

1. Urban Float

Floating is described&nbsp;as an experience where consumers are suspended in a tank filled with a mixture of water and Epsom salt. It is intended to offer a form of weightless meditation that features a range of benefits ranging from stress relief to decreased anxiety and even a reduction of chronic pain.

<a href="http://franchise.urbanfloat.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=5-emerging-franchisors-that-are-changing-the-game-2705924" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Urban Float</a> is a franchise that provides this floating experience for customers. The brand was founded in 2012 by CEO Joe Beaudry. The company began franchising in 2015 and currently has grown to four units.

2. JumpBunch&nbsp;

Childhood obesity has been a growing concern within the United States for quite some time. While services have certainly existed to help teens and adults reach their fitness goals, opportunities for young children have been less prevalent.

<a href="http://jumpbunchfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=5-emerging-franchisors-that-are-changing-the-game-2705924" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">JumpBunch</a> addresses this need through its structured fitness programs designed to target children in two age demographics: those ranging from fifteen months to six years old and children ranging from six years old to twelve. Families looking to encourage health and wellness from an early age are sure to be drawn to this type of system.

3. Skoah

While spa franchises are not a rarity, those that specialize in one specific treatment area are more limited. <a href="http://skoahfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=5-emerging-franchisors-that-are-changing-the-game-2705924" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Skoah</a> specializes in providing top-notch facials to its customers. The brand has already made waves in Canada and is looking to continue its momentum. Though the company has experienced slower expansion in the United States, it is looking to partner with entrepreneurs to increase its presence within the country. Skoah offers a unique product line of over 70 skin-care items to deliver a luxury experience like no other.

4. velofix

More and more companies are exploring the possibility of going mobile. One unique brand that has been capitalizing on this trend since 2015 is <a href="https://www.velofix.com/start-a-franchise/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=5-emerging-franchisors-that-are-changing-the-game-2705924" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">velofix</a>. The unique company is a disrupter within its industry, offering a mobile bike shop that brings skilled mechanics straight to the customer&rsquo;s door.

The company has also adapted technological trends to appeal to current consumer preferences. This includes allowing services to be booked in advance using an online tool.

5. SuperGreen Solutions

In recent years, there has been a growing focus on seeking out environmentally friendly products and services. <a href="https://supergreensolutionsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=5-emerging-franchisors-that-are-changing-the-game-2705924" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SuperGreen Solutions</a> addresses these consumer desires by selling and installing eco-friendly items including wind-power products, LED lighting and water heating and filtration systems. The company began franchising in 2016 and continues to thrive as the nation moves towards making sustainable choices more routine.&nbsp;
