Palm Berries Franchise
Healthy and personalized bowls
Palm Berries is a franchise specializing in the sale of açaí bowls , with a focus on fresh, natural and organic products. Its proposal includes fruits, nuts, homemade granolas and unique sauces that make it attractive to consumers looking for healthy and personalized options. In addition, it uses an inventory system called Just-In-Time, which minimizes food waste and maximizes profitability.
The total investment for Palm Berries ranges from $221,000 to $513,000, including a franchise fee of $35,000. Some of the main expenses include the improvement of the premises ($75,000-$200,000) and the purchase of furniture ($50,000-$100,000). Additional funds for the operation range from $15,000 to $40,000.
Palm Berries is a new franchise, launched in 2022. So far, three units have operated for 12 months. The turnover figures for these units were $55,000, $9,000 and almost $998,000 respectively, which shows considerable potential for growth and profitability.
Temperature Pro Franchise
HVAC Solutions
Temperature Pro is a franchise that offers heating, ventilation and air conditioning services, both for homes and companies (B2B and B2C). They specialize in the installation, repair, and maintenance of HVAC systems, as well as providing additional services to improve energy efficiency and air quality.
The franchise fee is $147,000, with a total investment estimated between $400,000 and $437,000. Despite the fact that the franchise fee is high, the franchise offers a territory of half a million people, although it is key to analyze how many really qualified houses or businesses exist in that territory.
It is recommended to start with repair and maintenance services before moving on to the installation of new systems, as this reduces margins of error. Franchising does not require previous experience, as the franchisee focuses on the management of the business, while specialized technicians take care of operations.
Puddle Pool Service Franchise
Pool maintenance
Paddle Po Service focuses on the maintenance of swimming pools, hot tubs and other aquatic facilities, offering both residential and commercial services. This franchise is ideal for those looking for a semi-passive business model, which means that the owner only needs to dedicate between 10 and 15 hours per week to its management.
The investment varies between $95,000 and $118,000, with a franchise fee of $9,500. This amount includes a down payment for the purchase of vehicles, although it is recommended to add between $30,000 and $40,000 more if the vehicle is purchased in its entirety.
The franchise has a call center available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at a cost of only 1% of gross monthly sales. This advantage can reduce operational costs by avoiding the hiring of permanent telephone service personnel. In addition, its 12 current operating units generate net margins ranging from $37,000 to $128,000 per year, with an average ticket of $18 per service.
