Business West:

In 1983, Joseph Arduino’s father was dying of congestive heart failure.

“He was a hospice patient, and we had an aide from a local hospice agency taking care of my father,” Arduino said. “I was taken back and amazed at the compassion of this home health aide, how she treated my father and our family like it was her own family.”

He didn’t realize then that he would someday make a career of helping other families find similar comfort and help during difficult times. But in 1999, Arduino — at the time a copier salesman who had an itch for entrepreneurship — was on a plane when he stumbled upon a magazine ad for a fledgling chain of home-care services called Visiting Angels. He didn’t even wait until he got home to call the number in the ad, and later that year, he was in charge of the company’s ninth franchise.

“Here it is, 11 years later, and we’ve seen substantial growth,” he told BusinessWest.

Indeed, his franchise, which now employs just under 90 staffers and caregivers, has served more than 1,100 clients in the past 11 years. “We provide services to adults in any age range. Many are 65 years and up, but we have many younger clients as well, adults with disabilities or in need of assistance during a period of recovery from illness or injury.”

I wrote the past two columns on international franchise expansion from cafés in Istanbul and Cairo. What better places to consider the worldwide expansion, through franchising and licensing, of well-known brands? The two cities are so unlike their counterparts in North America, you gain a new perspective on international business.

Now that I’ve returned to Canada, I want to talk about a country that’s the envy of the business world. It’s where you’re going to increasingly see expansion by U.S. and European brands, whether through franchising or by direct expansion. It has a strong and stable currency, a healthy banking sector, an educated population, and an abundance of natural resources craved by the world, especially oil.

It’s not Norway. It’s not Switzerland. It’s Canada.

The Rice Faster Food Outlet has announced plans to expand around the world. The chain opened its first restaurant in Manchester five years ago and since then, has achieved 25% growth in turnover year on year, with a new outlet opening every year.

The group now operates three restaurants in Manchester, with a fourth opening this autumn and recently launched in the North East at the Metrocentre, Gateshead. Rice now employs more than 100 people.

Commenting on the launch of his business as a franchise, Manoj Verma said: “I was originally inspired by my travels and my love of cooking. As six out of 10 people in the world eat rice everyday, I thought why not develop a restaurant offering a fusion of rice dishes? Rice was born, presenting good quality, flavoursome and healthy food quickly, and all at an affordable price.

Somebody in marketing for Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches has an odd sense of humor. That’s clear from the signage posted on the walls at the new franchise in Springettsbury Township.

“Free smells.” “Your mouth isn’t watering. It’s crying for Jimmy John’s.” “Your mom wants you to eat Jimmy John’s.”

Your mother wasn’t interviewed for this report, but franchisee Joseph Barlek was. He said he hopes Yorkers decide to take a bite of the fresh, simple subs that are made-to-order “freaky fast.”

Judging by the lunch crowd Monday, they’ve not only bitten but are chewing and swallowing.

People were pushing into the storefront at 150 A Memory Lane, which opened Aug. 3, as quickly as the staff could pump out subs.

According to corporate… read on.

A total of 48 franchises were developed under the Ninth Malaysia Plan, of which 43 were Bumiputeras, said the Malaysia Franchise Association (MFA).

“Number of total franchisee also increased from 3,541 to 6,083 after the implementation of the Ninth Malaysia Plan.

“The active involvement of Bumiputeras in the franchise industry clearly reflects the accurate long-term vision of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir,” MFA said in a statement Tuesday.

As of July, 454 franchise companies were registered by the Registrar of Franchise.

“There were 116 registered franchise companies in 2000. The record indicates that 29 per cent or 132 are Bumiputeras,” it added.

‎Los Angeles Times:

The Leelin brothers, Mendrick and Michael, are betting they can turn their sleek new Japanese shabu-shabu restaurant in downtown Los Angeles into a national franchise — despite opening in the worst economy in decades.

With some signs of improvement in the Southern California economy, more and more small businesses are exploring franchising as a way to grow.

Working in their favor are lower rents at many prime locations and a supply of high-quality potential franchisees — individuals who have lost their corporate jobs but have savings to invest.

In California, companies registering to offer franchises for the first time hit 278 in the first half of the year, according to the California Department of Corporations. If that pace continues for the rest of 2010, the total would represent a 4% increase over last year.

Nationwide, the overall number of existing individual franchised outlets is projected to grow 2% this year to around 900,000, according to an International Franchise Assn. forecast. More.
