What is a Franchise?

A Franchise is a legal and commercial relationship between the owner of a trademark, service mark, trade name, or advertising symbol and an individual or group wishing to use that identification in a business. When you own a franchise, you're in business for yourself, but not by yourself. In the general sense, a Franchise allows its holder (Franchisee) to buy a "brand." With that, the holder of the Franchise gets the brand name recognition and reputation that comes along with the name or trademark of the product. If you were to start a business like this on your own, you would probably have to spend tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of dollars testing your methods, hiring lawyers to create agreements and forms, hiring designers to create materials, spending money on inventory, web design and other start up costs. And that's just the beginning. With our Franchise, the footwork has all been done for you! By securing a Franchise, you become an independent agent with the legal right to set up your own business with this established, tried and tested fitness product. With our Stroller Strides Franchises, you get to use our brand names, our national trademarks, and proven programs. Along with our manuals, marketing materials and more, you get the benefit of using procedures and tools that have been proven to be successful for us. Even with that, being in business is a challenge. Even though a Franchise greatly enhances your chance of success in a business venture, no one can guarantee what your results will be. That being the case, by following our formula and working hard, it is our hope that a Franchisee's experience will bring just as much success as we've experienced.
