Franchising is playing a big role in Michigan’s economy in 2026.

Data from the latest economic outlook shows Michigan is now a top 10 state for franchise growth, with thousands of franchise locations, hundreds of new units projected this year, and thousands of new jobs being created through franchised businesses. That adds up to tens of billions of dollars in annual economic impact for the state.

Behind the numbers are a few key drivers:
- Affordable markets and strong local demand.
- Supportive state and regional programs for small business and job creation.
- Growing ecosystem around business development and support hubs.

Please join us in celebrating Maria Rogers, our Broker of the Month.

Maria brings so much more than franchise knowledge to the people she serves. As both an experienced franchise consultant and entrepreneur, she understands what it means to consider a major business decision and the questions, hopes, risks, and excitement that can come with it.

She has a special ability to make a complex franchise search feel clear and manageable. Rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all opportunity, Maria takes the time to listen, educate, and help each candidate find an option that fits their goals, strengths, and lifestyle. Her clients know they can count on her for honest guidance, practical insight, and a calm, trusted presence throughout the process.

Her partnership with Woofie’s is a wonderful example of the care she brings to every placement. While working with Melissa Jenkins on her path to becoming a Woofie’s franchise owner, Maria created a collaborative and well-aligned experience from beginning to end.

Jill Devlin, Franchise Development Manager for Woofie’s, shared:
“It was such a pleasure working with Maria Rogers throughout the process of awarding Melissa Jenkins with her Woofie’s franchise. I really enjoyed the communication, collaboration, and alignment we had every step of the way. It made the process seamless and enjoyable, and I truly appreciated being on the same page and working together toward a great outcome for Melissa and the Woofie’s brand.”

Maria, we appreciate the experience, integrity, and heart you bring to this work. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition.

We’re excited to celebrate another FBA success story! 🏝️✨

An FBA Broker just helped place 1 unit of Challenge Island, a STEM/STEAM enrichment franchise that brings hands‑on field trips, camps, and afterschool programs to schools and community organizations.

We love supporting owners who are building businesses that help kids learn, create, and collaborate, while having a lot of fun along the way.

Help us make a difference for local Veterans. 🇺🇸

At this year’s FBA Annual Conference, we are honored to partner with the Orlando VA and The Veterans Kit Project to support hospitalized Veterans and those in need.

Our franchise community will come together to assemble Veterans Kits filled with thoughtful comfort items, including soft blankets, notebooks and pens, patriotic beverage tumblers, activity books, U.S. Veterans Magazine, and essential items packed in canvas bags. Once assembled, the kits will be delivered directly to the Orlando VA for local Veterans.

Our goal is to raise $15,000 and thanks to FranGrowth, every donation will be matched dollar for dollar.

That means your gift can go twice as far in helping us bring comfort, care, and appreciation to those who served.

Donate today and help us reach our goal: https://hubs.li/Q04vzyH-0

There is a big difference between hoping the right broker finds your brand and sitting across from them in Orlando.

At the FBA Annual Conference, franchisors can meet franchise brokers who are actively looking for concepts to present to their candidates. It is where your brand becomes more than a name, a logo, or an email, it becomes a conversation about the people, vision, and opportunity behind it.

From November 8–11, the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort becomes a place for the franchise industry to connect, exchange ideas, and build the relationships that can create momentum long after the event ends. Tag the business partner or franchise professional you want in the room with you.

Franchise buyers aren’t just “Googling and clicking links” anymore.

In 2026, more people are asking AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity to recommend businesses and opportunities — including franchise brands and sectors. They ask questions such as:

- “What are the best low‑cost franchise opportunities in home services?”
- “Which franchise sectors are most resilient in a cooling labor market?”

AI search engines respond by writing answers based on multiple sources, not by showing 10 blue links. That means visibility now depends on whether your content is structured and clear enough to be found, trusted and cited inside those AI answers.

Marketers call this Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), making content AI‑readable, answer‑friendly, and refreshingly up to date. For franchise brands, brokers and advisors, it’s a new way to think about franchise marketing and candidate education.

Swipe through the carousel to see how AI search is influencing franchise discovery and how GEO/AEO can help your content show up when buyers ask AI those high‑intent questions.

Comment below: Have you ever used an AI assistant to research franchises or business ideas? What did you ask and did you trust the answer?

It’s happening tonight at 6:00 PM EST.

Maybe you are not unhappy at work. Maybe you are just tired of knowing that your future can change because of a decision made in a room you are not in.

You have responsibilities. A paycheck to protect. A family to think about. That is exactly why exploring business ownership should never feel like a gamble.

Tonight, we’re hosting How to Qualify for Small Business Funding a live masterclass for professionals who want to understand what a real, researched path from W2 employee to franchise business owner can look like.

We’ll talk about funding preparation, franchise training, launch, and the questions to ask before you make any move.

If you have been waiting for a sign to start learning about your options, this is it. Click the registration link and join us live tonight at 6:00 PM EST https://hubs.li/Q04v46y30

A beauty franchise is not just about providing a service, it is about building a repeat-client business, leading a team, and creating a strong local customer experience. ✨

Hello Sugar offers waxing, sugaring, and related beauty services through two ownership formats:
- Suite: a smaller salon-suite setting.
- Flagship: a larger, dedicated multi-room salon.

What makes this model worth exploring is the potential progression. The FDD describes a pathway in which qualified Flagship franchisees may operate a Suite while their Flagship is being developed. That gives prospective owners an important question to explore: Which format best fits my capital, leadership capacity, market, and growth goals?

Hello Sugar’s 2025 Item 19 also reports membership conversion data. Across 76 reported Suites, 36.69% of non-laser prospects became new non-laser members; across 15 reported Flagships, the figure was 41.55%. These are historical results, not promises but they reinforce the importance of recurring client relationships in the model.

Want to explore the investment, operations, and franchise fit before taking the next step?
