Franchise Opportunity |
|
|
 Franchise opportunities for specialty repair shops like Meineke Car Care Centers keep getting better. Traditional service stations (the ones that had repair bays as well as gas pumps) are disappearing. There are 5,500 fewer service bays today than in 1995 and that number is predicted to continue its downward trend. This means the industry is projecting solid increases in sales per service bay and sales per location.
YOU could be the next person to tap into this ever-increasing need for high quality, high value automotive repair.
