Are You Using Environmentally Responsible Pest Control Services?

It is not breaking news that many of the products that are used for pest control in our homes are toxic to both humans and pets. Most people are willing to compromise the health of them and their family members for pest elimination when in actuality there are health conscious and eco-friendly ways to rid their home of unwanted creatures. LadyBug Eco-Friendly Pest Control does just that. The company has over 23 years of pest control experience and use products that are entirely National Organic Program (NOP) compliant.

The main product that LadyBug Eco-Friendly Pest Control uses is called Diatomaceous Earth which, once refined, resembles talcum powder. The powder is made from one-cell plant organisms extracted from the bottom of large bodies of fresh water. This natural ingredient kills pests like roaches, ants, crickets, spiders and scorpions without bringing harmful chemicals inside of your home.

What is Social Franchising?

Posted on by

The success of franchising comes from the transfer of knowledge and experience from one successful enterprise to another. With an established business concept, as well as support and training, a franchisee can quickly become successful thanks to the foundation upon which his or her business is built. While with most commercial franchises the goal is to maximize profits, social franchises use the principles of franchising for a social goal.

What is social franchising and how does it differ from commercial franchising?

Social franchises are driven by social goals, rather than profit. While the franchise does make profit, this profit is used to develop its social aims. Social aims can include food security, poverty alleviation, or environmental conservation. According to the European Social Franchising Network (ESFN), a social franchise should be a social enterprise, and  have the four following characteristics:

  1. An organization that replicates a social enterprise business model – the social franchisor.
  2. At least one independent social franchisee that has been replicated by the social franchisor.
  3. A common brand under which the social franchisees operate.
  4. An interchange of knowledge between members.

Social franchises can operate in various ways, but generally a social franchisee pays the social franchisor a fee for their support. Differing from other non-profit charities and foundations, where most of the funding comes from grants and personal donations, social franchises use the sales of their successful business model to create a better world.

For example, Community Renewable Energy (CoRE), a European social franchise, helps communities develop their own renewable energy systems to generate community income and address climate change. The franchise does so through working in partnership with a specific community, where the community is not charged for CoRE’s work, but rather as a stakeholder in the the renewable energy systems, where they take a share of the profits. This share is then used to help the next community. The social franchise essentially supports their members by providing “technical skills, shared services, and replicable models for developing renewable energy systems.”

Tomasino’s New York Pizzeria

Posted on by

After years in the family restaurant business, and more than a decade after opening their first restaurant location, Tomasino’s founders Jon and Liz Gegaj are beginning a new chapter in their lives as they enter the world of franchising.

As they begin this new adventure, their goal is to share their dream with others who believe in their product and the operational strategy they have developed within their own locations.

The Gegaj family knows exactly what it takes to start, operate and perfect a New York style pizzeria restaurant franchise. They are excited to invite others into the Tomasino’s family, and share their experience with them, so they may one day experience the same rewards of being “the neighborhood spot.”

Franchise Opportunity:
At Tomasino’s, their franchise model perfectly positions you for success by providing:

  • An affordable menu and our proprietary family recipes.
  • Established alliances with the best suppliers in the pizza industry.
  • A business the entire family can work in and show pride.
  • The real deal. The actual franchisor founding team. Leaders who understand the business and really care about their franchisees.

Did you know?
Tomasino’s is part of a hugely popular segment within the immense restaurant industry:

  • When eating out, Americans choose Italian more than any other type of ethnic cuisine.
  • The pizzeria market alone generates $38 billion in annual sales.
  • Ninety-three percent of American eat pizza at least once a month!

Their concept appeals to a wide customer base (families, singles, couples, working professionals, and students, to name a few!). Plus, it benefits from multiple potential revenue streams, including different dayparts, dine-in, carryout, catering and delivery. It all adds up to a great opportunity for franchise owners.
