Are Home Service Franchises The New White Collar Career of Choice?

02/09/23 • 27 min

For years, generations of young people have been pushed into college and post college, white collar careers.
Today, home service franchises are dominating the franchise industry and are giving young entrepreneurs a new path: run a service franchise. Trades that have image problems - think 'but crack' plumbers or the handyman who rolls up in a white 'murder van' with 'free candy inside' plastered on the outside.
Blue collar trades have been negatively stereotyped by our society for almost all the wrong reasons. Today, a whole new generation is discovering that the riches are in the niches and for the price of a typical car, they can open a successful service franchise.
Join Thomas Scott, CEO of Home Run Franchises and Aaron Harper, CEO of Rolling Suds, a mobile pressure washing franchise as they discuss this positive trend.
