Woman-Focused
Franchises that focus on women and are run by women have grown a lot in popularity over the last year and are expended to continue to do so in 2009. These businesses can include anything from women’s health centers to women-targeted clothing stores.
Fun Food
Crazy food franchises have grown a lot trendier over the past year as well. By offering something different then the normal fast food like menu, these businesses can reach out to crowds that are tired of unhealthy, processed foods. Additionally, by letting consumers create their dishes, such as yogurt shops that let you create your own custom dessert, they can connect with customers of a more creative level.
Thinking Green
It is no surprise that green-thinking businesses made our list. Nowadays any business can be labeled “green” just by stating their cups are made of recycled materials or their food is organic. However, it is more than trendy, as green businesses often build very loyal customer bases that do not mind paying a “green” surcharge.
Pets
People have always loved their pets, but in recent years doting on your dog or cats has become increasing popular. Stores that offer accessories, clothes, food, and toys for pets have seen a decent increase in business over the last year, and that increase is expected to skyrocket in 2009.
Pampering Services
With the stress of the economy and long days at work, people are looking for the occasional release. Massage services, and fair-priced day spas are making a comeback and incorporating other trends along the way. Spas with natural or organic services attract business because wellness then natural way is so popular.
For the Kids
Businesses catering to the higher education of children are also expected to boom in 2009. Part of this is due to the second coming of the baby boom, but also because of the general falling faith in America’s education system. Tutoring services as well as after-school programs are both expected to be trendy franchises in 2009.
Home Improvement
Since the real estate market is expected to continue its decline into 2009, home improvement businesses have proved to be a fair alternative. Many homeowners are opting to remodel their homes instead of seeing for a loss, or foreclosing on their loan to buy a new house. Additionally, families that do move into foreclosed houses often need help making improvements to the property before they move in.
Year-Round Opportunities
Some franchises thrive off of seasonal business, but as the economy gets worse some of these franchise owners are seeking to keep their store open year round for additional business opportunities. Calendar franchises are offering stationary and supplies, Halloween stores are selling costumes and party supplies throughout the year, and tax preparation franchises, like the Roni Deutch Tax Center, are offering additional business services, to generate new customers throughout the year.
