Franchising is here to stay. The International Franchise Association reports that over 45% of all retail spending is currently expended through franchise outlets. And, as the following facts indicate, the prospects for Midas franchisees who have the drive to succeed are strong.
The number of cars and light trucks continues to rise. More vehicles mean more maintenance and repair business.
Car owners are keeping vehicles longer. This means there will be more maintenance jobs every year benefiting Midas franchisees.
Automotive technology has become too complex for the average car owner to undertake repairs themselves.
There is a decline in the number of traditional service stations, 75% of consumer petrol is now sold through self-service outlets. In most cases traditional service stations do not repair cars any more. But Midas does!
The average person is becoming more time poor. They do not have the time to be worrying about life's chores such as car repairs. That's where Midas steps in. Part of the Car Care System is to provide service excellence with as little inconvenience to the client as possible.
For this reason the customer friendly opening hours of our shops have been designed to enable clients on week days to drop in their cars before work and collect them again straight after work. Midas stores are also open on Saturdays.
