Franchise Asia APRIL 2015

Special
A Lice-squad
House-Call
The Canadian
franchise Lice Squad
makes housecalls.
Based in
Cookstown, Ontario,
the franchise
uses a device
that dehydrates
nits. Someone suffering from lice can visit a clinic for
treatment or they’ll come to your home to help rid you of
lice. The process is chemical free.
A Fishy Situation
Amelia Island, Florida based Captain Mac Danial offers
a flounder gigging franchise. You read that right. Using
aluminum boats, headlamps and a trident or multipronged
spear, clients are treated to a boat ride into
shallow saltwater mashes and inlets to skewer flounder
lying on the bottom of the marsh or inlet. It’s probably a
great experience and you get fresh fish to boot.
You Will Wake Up and Be A Chicken
There are few opportunities in the franchise world to
take a nap on location. You can, but you will probably
get evicted. Dublin, OH based Positive Change Hypnosis
is the opposite. At their locations they use a six-point
hypnosis method to help clients improve their life. It may
be kicking a bad habit or as simple as correcting your
short game at the golf course. Either way, they want you
to go to sleep and help you do it.
For Those About to Rock … We’re Not
AC/DC
Everyone, except maybe grandma, loves a music festival.
Most of us have been to one at some point and it’s likely,
if we can remember it, we had a great time. Putting
together your own music festival is no easy task and most
people would avoid the trials if they thought about it long
enough. However, if you are in the UK there’s a franchise
for music festival planning.
Fake Festivals help you set
up a local music festival
complete with a stage, food
vendors and a play area
for children. Tribute bands,
rather than the actual
superstars, will come to put
on shows and organisers
keep all the profit.
Elite K9 Goose Patrol
David Marcks of Howell, NJ offers a unique franchise
involving dogs and geese. Geese Police employs trained
dogs to run geese off the golf course, out of the park
and away from your business. The well-trained dogs are
brought to the location several times until the geese
surrender and stop coming back.
A Naked Proposition
Robert Burck, dubbed the naked cowboy by either
himself or people that have seen him in New York’s
Times Square, has a franchise opportunity for you. It’s a
franchise opportunity that leads to standing in a public
place in your underwear, a cowboy hat and boots while
playing a guitar. The guitar aids in the naked illusion. It
may sound far-fetched, but over a dozen people from
Nashville, TN to Los Angeles, CA to Paris, France have
signed up. The cowboys are also available for photo
opportunities and to officiate weddings.
