It’s Time You Tried a (Unique) Franchise

A good resume is an important tool when finding a job. A resume is like a sales letter that you use to sell yourself to the employer, which means it has to be professionally written. Competition can be really tough in the job market. 

On the other hand, you can go into business, and one way to do that is to raise some capital and get a franchise. But because many people go into franchising, and franchises of the same company means having many competitions, finding a unique franchise might be your key to a successful business. Here are some cool and unique franchises.

Pescado Pedicures – Exfoliation has turned from a luxury to a necessary beauty regimen, especially in some Southeast Asian countries. Women started with facial exfoliation, but now the method has extended to foot care. It seems like a simple pedicure is not enough. Enter Pescado Pedicures, a salon that provides a unique kind of foot care: having little fish nibble at your feet to eat away your dead skin cells. Hard to believe? It is actually practiced in Malaysia. It is also featured in a marine wildlife park in the Philippines as a must-try attraction to children and women. How much does it cost to operate one in the U.S.? Just $17,500 and you are on your way to running a fishy foot care salon.

1-800-PUKE-OFF – If you’ve ever been to a bar or concert venue, chances are you have seen someone vomit, smelled vomit, or have vomited yourself. Lucky for the over-drinking customers, a bar is one place where they are not required to clean up after their mess. And if the bar owners does not want to take the burden of cleaning all sorts of vomit (who would want that?!), all they need is 1-800-PUKE-OFF. This franchise offers cleaning services to rid an establishment of vomit. The average annual fee is $2,800—very cheap, considering the amount of money they make from selling beers and liquors.

Bully Busters – If there’s someone bullying in your neighbourhood, you don’t call the Ghostbusters. You call Bully Busters. This is a security service that assigns a bodyguard to your child to scare away the bullies. For a monthly fee of $175, you can be sure that no bullies will be able to harass your child again.  The initial franchise investment, which includes insurance and training costs, is $125,000. This amount also covers payment for a bail bond service, in case the bully proves determinedly hostile.

Doody Calls – Leave human waste to 1-800-PUKE-OFF. Doody Calls serves to clean your place from the waste of those more adorable creatures called pets. Dog poop, cat poop. You name it. Doody Calls is there to remove it.

Texas Lice Squad – Got lice? Texas Lice Squad is a team of lice removal experts that you can call to rid your head of those pesky scalp crawlers. Yes, this is probably the most bizarre franchise you will ever find. Texas Lice Squad. They come, the comb, they conquer!

So, are you up to run any of these franchises? If not, there are plenty of resume writing tips on Google.
