Franchise Gator has named Caring Transitions as a Fastest
Growing franchise for 2016 in conjunction with the release of its annual Top 100 list. The
online franchise directory developed the rankings as a way for prospective
franchisees to identify opportunities with strong growth potential that are
also affordable investments for the average franchise buyer.
Caring Transitions is America’s largest resource for managing senior
relocations as well as downsizing and estate liquidations with more than 160
locations throughout the country. In addition to organizing, packing,
decluttering, moving and resettling, Caring Transitions can handle estate
sales, liquidations, and preparing homes for market. Caring
Transitions is part of
the International Franchise Association, the Small Business Association’s
Franchise Registry, VetFran and Minority Fran.
“Caring Transitions is thrilled to be
recognized in Franchise Gator’s Top 100 list,” said Caring Transitions
President, Chris Seman. “We’re happy to provide a much-needed service and a timely
solution to challenges faced by the older segments of our population, which is
increasing by the thousands every day. These new 65+ consumers need appropriate
services to support their quality of life for the next 20 to 30 years, and all
of our compassionate franchise owners take pride in helping families during
difficult transitions.”
The Franchise Gator Fastest Growing list spotlights brands that are
experiencing rapid expansion coming into the new year. “We identified 50
franchises this year for our Fastest Growing category,” said Eric Bell, General
Manager of Franchise Gator. “The list is developed based on the number of
opening and operating units a franchise has had over the past several months in
addition to their track record for building a solid customer base and gaining
the trust of investors.”
Caring
Transitions is an extremely fast-growing franchise. In the past four years, the
franchise has grown by 70 locations around the U.S. and sales have more than
doubled. There has also been a dramatic increase in consumer revenue from $7
million in 2011 to $24 million in 2015. We are in the process of expanding our
executive relocation assistance programs and we have made strides toward
expanding internationally to neighboring countries like Canada.
According to
Seman, “Sales of $34 million are projected in 2016. It’s truly exciting to be a
part of this growing franchise.”
