2010 to be a Good Year for Florida Franchises; Top Trends to Watch
Pizza has dominated franchise offerings for many years. But 2010 will see some interesting new options for aspiring business owners. A recent article on the Small Business Trends blog pointed out some of the hot new franchises to watch out for in 2010.
For starters, the retirement of the baby boomers is driving the emergence of franchise opportunities that target older Americans. Some examples are CruiseOne, Club 50 Fitness Centers, Golf, Etc., and AmRamp, a company that sells, installs and maintains mobility ramps on private homes. The senior trend continues, with medical care and senior care facility franchises on the rise. Examples include Comfort Keepers, HomeInstead, HomeHelpers, Brightstar Healthcare, and Interim HealthCare.
Of course, food franchises are still popular. Topping the list for 2010 are Five Guys Burgers And Fries, Mexican eateries such as Qdoba Mexican Grill and Panchero's Mexican Grill, and a resurgence of frozen yogurt stores including a freshened up TCBY concept, SpoonMe, Yogen Fruz, Red Mango, Pinkberry, and Tasti D-Lite.
Other sectors that show promise are supplemental education facilities, green businesses and home-based businesses. For those that want to take the plunge, the availability of small business loans should be improving by the second half of 2010.
