Touching Hearts at Home Reaches 100 Franchise Locations
Touching Hearts at Home, a prominent provider of non-medical senior care, has achieved an impressive milestone by reaching 100 franchise locations. This achievement marks a significant moment in the company's journey, not just as a testament to its growth but also as a reflection of its unwavering commitment to providing quality care to seniors across various communities.
Located in Minnetonka, Minnesota, the company's expansion has been supercharged by a strong focus on franchisee-centric support and development. Over the past few years, Touching Hearts at Home has ramped up its investment in various resources aimed at helping franchise owners succeed in their business endeavors. According to Todd Treml, the company's CEO, the new systems, coaching, marketing tools, and operational guidance have paved the way for franchise owners to flourish.
“Reaching 100 locations showcases the strength of our franchise owners and our enduring culture,” Treml said during the announcement. He emphasized that the franchise's success is based on the foundation they’ve built over the years, reaffirming their dedication to the franchisees. This milestone isn't just a number; it signifies the brand's growth trajectory and sets the stage for future endeavors.
For the Lungstrom brothers, Ryan and Andrew, this milestone is deeply personal. Their mother, Renae Peterson, founded Touching Hearts at Home, infusing the company with values of care and compassion that continue to drive its operations today. “Our goal is to maintain the integrity of what she built,” Ryan Lungstrom stated. The brothers' belief in nurturing the franchisee-first culture has facilitated the company’s growth approach, which is far more than mere expansion.
Touching Hearts at Home has added more than 35 new locations in just two years, indicative of a momentous phase in its history. This remarkable growth reflects the company’s emphasis on supporting franchisees and ensuring they receive the assistance they need at every step. As the demand for quality home care services rises, more entrepreneurs are attracted to the franchise due to its proven business model and supportive environment.
David Ayad, co-owner of one of the newest locations in Fort Myers, Florida, praises the partnership experience that Touching Hearts emphasizes. “The support we received made the decision to expand with the brand easy. The team is committed to our success,” Ayad contended, highlighting the cooperative bond that exists among franchise owners and the parent company.
Mike Dawoud, another co-owner, acknowledges the purpose-driven aspect of this business. Serving families during some of their most significant life moments provides a rewarding dimension to this career path. “Being part of a company that prioritizes compassion and family-like treatment of clients is what originally attracted us, and it’s what drives our efforts to reach more families,” Dawoud expressed.
Brandon Briesath, the very first franchise owner operating in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, since 2007, has witnessed the evolution of Touching Hearts at Home firsthand. As someone who joined the franchise at a young age, he believes in the brand’s culture and community relationships that continue to prosper today while benefiting from enhanced resources for franchise owners.
As they celebrate this landmark achievement with 100 locations, Touching Hearts at Home is keen on continuing its strategic expansion across the country. With more franchise owners joining the fold, improved support systems for franchisees in place, and increasing demand for in-home care, the future looks promising for the brand. Todd Treml remains optimistic saying, “For entrepreneurs looking to make a profound impact while establishing a scalable business, this is an exciting time to join our franchise.”
