Children's Franchise Industry Keeps Growing
-by Ed Teixeira

The old adage in business that "People will always spend money on kids and pets" is as true today as ever, especially when it comes to franchises geared to children. We reviewed children’s franchise programs over the past three years. The growth in the number of locations was strong in spite of the "Great Recession". In addition, approximately 20% of children’s franchises started after 2008 with a number of them having been in business for more than 5 years. This can be considered an indication of just how popular this franchise segment is.

The children's services franchise sector is one of the fastest growing sectors within the franchise industry. From our Sample of 106 children's services franchise systems, this sector has seen franchised outlets increase by 12.1% since 2010. Children's services franchises are growing at more than three times the franchise industry average to 9,105 outlets in 2013. A variety of businesses provide services to children under the umbrella of Children’s Services franchises.

Why Children's Franchises Have Strong Growth
by Ed Teixeira, Franchise KnowHow

The Increase in the number of locations for all children's franchises averaged almost 8% growth over the past three years!

With certain exceptions the typical investment for a children’s franchise is under 150K.
The market for services is stable.
Demand for services is not sensitive to economic downturns.
School systems continue to reduce services and programs for students. Examples include athletic, fitness programs, after school enrichment classes and tutoring services.
Most parents will make financial sacrifices for the benefit of their children.
Services like after school tutoring are necessary for some children.
Children and their parents will serve as referral sources simply by word of mouth.
There are a variety of franchises to choose from.
Children’s franchise ownership appeals to a broad range of prospects ranging from retired teachers to moms at home to sports orientated men and women.

The children’s franchise sector remains healthy and vibrant and will continue to perform well. A steady demand for services, coupled with the desire of parents to spend on behalf of their children provides a stable foundation for these franchises.

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids

Business is all about "Hugging Your Customers", says CEO Scott Sharkey

Our vision is that anyone that becomes a customer of our salons enters an enduring relationship with us. He or she instantly becomes our friend. That's our motto: "Once a customer, always a friend." It's been that way since the day the doors opened, and it will always be that way. It's clear to me that customers are thirsting for relationship-driven companies. They want to be coddled. They like it when they are smiled at. They appreciate thank-you notes. And great employees want to work for relationship-driven companies. Those companies are more successful because relationship selling inevitably leads to higher productivity and high profitability. In a relationship-driven company, it's a lot more fun to go to work in the morning. And we want to have fun!

Thank you for your continued business!
-- Scott Sharkey - CEO
