Comfort Keepers started franchising in 1999, so we are in the process of recognizing quite a few franchisees who are celebrating their 10 Year Comfort Keeper System Anniversaries.   While 10 years may not seem like a long time in the grand scheme of things, according to U.S. Small Business Administration, more than half of all small businesses close within the first 5 years of operation.   

Considering this fact, it’s a pretty big deal that 50 territories in the Comfort Keepers Senior Care system have been in operation for 10 years during 2011.   We would like to congratulate the following franchise owners on their 10 year system anniversaries for May and June 2011:

The Comfort Keepers Franchise System has over 628 territories in the United States and more importantly, our system franchise owners employ over 20,000 individuals throughout the United States.   Even more exciting is the fact that our system is still growing.   These strong numbers are possible due to three distinct points:

• Home Care is the Right Industry
• Franchising is the Right Model
• Comfort Keepers is the Right Franchise

Comfort Keepers is proud to announce that for the second year in a row, we have been named to the Military Friendly Franchise list.  It is a privilege to be named to this list and an honor to work with those who, many time, have dedicated their lives to serving our country. 

One of the great things about working with military members and veterans is that they have a great work ethic and are accustomed to following set processes.  This attitude really fits with the franchise business model.   Comfort Keepers has many veteran owned franchises in our system and we are working to grow that ownership base too!
