SAN DIEGO, CA--(NewMediaWire - Feb 22, 2017) - Reis &
Irvy's, subsidiary franchise concept of Generation NEXT Franchise
Brands (OTCQB: VEND)
announced today that progress on securing key high-traffic
locations for their franchise network is in progress and gaining
extensive territory. The fully-automated "Froyo Vending Robots"
were launched in early 2016 as a unique franchise opportunity and
one which has already resulted in a national network of over 135
appointed franchisees. As part of several turn-key resources and
initiatives offered to those individuals, Reis & Irvy's
introduced a dedicated Location Procurement department to assist
owners and operators across the country in researching, analyzing
and securing locations on their behalf where the vending robots
will have the greatest opportunity for traffic and
success.
As the number of Reis & Irvy's franchises across the United
States continue to grow (the concept is now approved in 49 states
coast to coast) the key focus of the company is to ensure the
success of their brand ambassadors. Reis & Irvy's has recently
negotiated and locked up several notable national locations that
include Denver Science Center, Discovery Science Center Salt
Lake, St Joseph's Hospital Indiana, Dallas Baptist
University, The Denver Nature and Museum Park, Fort Knox Military
Base, Park West Hospital Knoxville, Strike and Spare Family Fun
Center Nashville, The River Sports Rapids Recreation Center
Oklahoma, Alley Cats, Arlington, TX, The Dallas Medical Center,
Outlet Shops Grand River, South Park Mall Charlotte, Mockingbird
Station Mall Dallas plus multiple Hy-Vee and Price Chopper grocery
stores throughout Missouri and Kansas.
With the ability for the Froyo Robots to adapt to almost any
consumer environment, the company has focused on high-traffic
destinations, where captive and active audiences are evident.
Hospitals, Grocery Stores, Malls, Family Entertainment Centers,
Colleges, Military Bases and Museums/Science Centers all work as
potential areas of opportunity for franchisees and the robots
themselves. Working with some of the biggest and best property
management companies in the country Reis & Irvy's has secured
over 60 premier locations to date with nearly 100 outstanding
agreements going through the various channels for approval. All
through a dedicated process and corporate team in-house that is
focused on franchisee growth.
"First and foremost, we're here to serve our franchisees in each
market and to maximize each robot's potential," says Rod Everett,
Vice President of Business Development for Reis & Irvy's. "Our
team of Placement Specialists continuously study the contributing
influences for a successful location which include high daily foot
traffic, demographics, days/hours of operation and the
socio-economic patterns of each location in each territory. When a
location qualifies, we work directly with the decision maker at the
business to ensure that a partnership with our franchisees will
benefit their business, our franchisees success, and deliver a
quality experience to consumers. When all three of those factors
are aligned, a deal is made, and everyone wins."
Franchisee Tamara Sharff can attest to those efforts and
processes that Reis & Irvy's dedicates to its network of
franchisees. The Dallas native who recently became a franchise
owner has experienced the first steps of the onboarding process in
becoming a franchisee. "It really has been a very streamlined and
informative process," says Sharff, whose first robot will be placed
at the 5000-plus student Dallas Baptist University. "From the
discovery process through meeting each member of the Reis &
Irvy's corporate team, to now having locations secured for me in
such ideal destinations, I couldn't be happier across all levels.
More importantly, the Dallas Baptist University location was a
direct result of Reis & Irvy's dedication to finding and
securing the perfect location for my first Froyo Robot. That is
something that was promised to me and huge to see from this
franchisor."
From the early launch of the concept, Reis & Irvy's
recognized that the location possibilities for the Froyo Robots
were limitless. The company began focusing on locations that could
mirror the experience that consumers have with the robot,
specifically fun and active locations where the location and the
franchisee could both benefit from the excitement that a Reis &
Irvy's Froyo Robot generates. More importantly, the company wanted
to ensure that processes and resources were put in place to make
that happen.
