Reyes Haircutters
Ang salon ng bayan and the no. 1 family salon chain in the country today!
Franchising enabled my company to be ahead of the competition in myriad ways, achieving a phenomenally strong market positioning, within the shortest possible time. However, I learned for myself that franchising is not an easy game. Through Francorp’s guidance, I discovered that a carefully planned expansion strategy, professionally developed operations manual and franchise agreement, and a cost-effective franchise sales and marketing program, are necessary components for a stronger franchise system. Francorp helped me in every stage of my growth - giving me all the support and opportunities needed to break into the franchise market. The encouragement and confidence they provided were driving forces in our company’s growth.

Crystal Clear
"At a time when the economic situation is forcing companies to cut back on expansion plans, the Crystal Clear Water Stores franchised stores per month. Today, we have a total of 285 stores with international franchise outlets in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and soon in other Asian countries. Francorp has provided support to this growth through strategic development planning and franchise training. In fact, Solerex recently launched “Juice Ko!”, its own brand of health juice drinks; the orange, apple, grape, and strawberry flavors are fast becoming a hit among canteen concessionaires, sari-sari stores, and the parent/child consumer bracket."

Plains And Prints
“Francorp helped us in all aspects of franchising – from developing our franchise program to finding qualified franchisees. In just a few months after Francorp developed our program, we were able to open three franchise outlets. With Francorp helping us in our franchise efforts, we became more confident in offering our business because we knew that our franchise program was developed by trained professionals who have years of experience in franchising. With Francorp, you get the feeling that they really care about you and want to see you succeed in your franchising efforts. It’s as if they had a personal stake in your business.”

Hot Shots Flame-Grilled Burgers
Hotshots Flame-grilled Burgers is now 3 years old. In those three years, it has grown into 7 branches strategically located in Metro Manila. This has been possible through the assistance and guidance of Francorp. Francorp first approached us in May of 2000. They offered to do our franchise package and operations manual. We were barely six months in operation then. Several companies had offered to do our franchise package, however, we felt most comfortable with the people that comprised Francorp. They were very professional to talk to. We saw in them a sincere intention to help us chart our future. We believe that our decision to choose Francorp as our franchise consultant has opened for us a network of opportunities. In the three years that we have been working with them, they continue to provide channels in order for our company to grow. They have given us exposure in radio, newspapers and magazines. They have introduced us to the Small Business Guarantee Fund Corporation. SBGFC provides financing to our qualified franchise applicants. Recognizing the value of continuing education, they invite us to various seminars and talks. In short, they have made franchising a simpler task to manage. Our sincerest gratitude for your guidance these past three years, we hope that you will continue to be with us as we enter another stage of our growth---Provincial expansion.

Biggs Restaurant's Inc.
"Having been in the business for over 15 years, we thought it was ripe and right to expand our successful restaurant concept through the failsafe format of franchising. We thought it proper to travel to the United States, ’the mecca of franchising’, to attend the World Franchising Exposition, and seek a reputable and established franchise consulting firm, and Lo and Behold, FRANCORP fit the bill. We were impressed with the long list of successful concepts that they help catapult into proliferation. Instantly we were convinced that our concept would fall on very adept hands if we commissioned Francorp to architect our franchise program. One year later, we opened our first franchise under their program, and since then, we haven't stopped growing. I don't think there are any other franchise consulting firms in the world that can match FRANCORP's track record in helping successful concepts franchise their systems effectively and confidently."

California Nails And Day Spa
"It took years for us to make the decision to franchise California Nails & Day Spa. There were days when we thought, ‘No, it’s not for us.’ and then days that, ‘Yes, let’s do it!’ It even took a while before I could get the courage to see Francorp; I was in doubt that our concept would be accepted. But the foresight and enthusiastic assurance of Francorp, made this big step sound like a winner. So we bit the bullet and signed up with Francorp in May 2002. We never looked back. Francorp is an excellent team of consultants. There is genuine concern, love and support that started from the receptionist, to the team of consultants who cheered us on in every step, up to the level of their management leadership. This helps a lot when you are taking a risk with a new venture."
"Putting up a franchising company is another ball of wax. With Francorp it was an easy transition, they actually take you by the hand and teach you step by step how to make your business succeed. There’s a comfort in knowing that when you have a concern, someone just a ‘text message’ away has the answer. The guidance at the Franchise Expo 2002 we received, the setting up of operations manuals, going over the legalities of the Franchise Agreement, Sales Seminars, the meetings and more meetings were all done professionally. We had to do our homework but we didn’t mind. There’s lots of motivation we get from our up-beat consultants. The day came where we would sign up our first franchisee! My staff and I were so ecstatic and Francorp was there to share it with us."
"Thanks to our marketing strategies by Francorp, we have a pile of inquires seeking out our franchise. We are so busy we don’t have time to check on them! Lastly, we can say is that we prayed for the right franchise consultant to come our way and the Lord led us to Francorp, because they are there for you all the time, all the way!"

Sari-Sari Bread Store
It was in the 2nd quarter of 2002, that we approached FRANCORP to study SARI-SARI BREADSTORE with about 70 outlets in the Visayas if it can be franchised. We lacked the confidence but they were there to give us the necessary boost and professional advise to set up our franchise system and operations manual. In November 28, 2002, the first franchise store of SARI-SARI BREADSTORE in Luzon was opened in Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City. In just a little over 6 months, we have 6 operating franchise stores located in Cubao, Novaliches, San Mateo, Rizal, C.M. Recto in Manila, Bacoor, Cavite and Sta. Cruz, Laguna. One will soon open in Malinta, Rizal, another 2 in Caloocan City and Blumentritt, Manila are under construction, and now more whose applications are still being processed. Thanks to FRANCORP!

Unica Hija
In the garment retail industry, growth for us means broadening our reach, improving more the quality of our service to fulfill the desires of our valued customers while increasing the awareness of the brand, UNICA HIJA. When we first felt that there was a need for the company to expand, the question of capacity and readiness came into mind. To address this, we decided to expand thru franchising and the only way to go with it is to get Francorp. Their incomparable list of clientele proves what they have attained. To have their name alone as our consultant gives us enough encouragement that we can reach our aspirations for the company. Right now, we are on our third quarter going onwards to our first year in franchising six deals successfully closed and still targeting more. For this, we recognize their efforts not only for the dedication they have shown in their work but also in the commitment they have given us.
