Our Story
In 2015, Matt and Megin began training at home and seeing amazing results with their own kids. Through experimentation and research, they realized that what parents want is a trusted resource to help them raise strong and independent kids. They began developing programs and hosting pop-up classes in Lexington, KY.
In 2018, they moved to Dallas and opened the first KidStrong center in Frisco, TX with co-founder Megan Stein. Together, they decided to perfect the KidStrong program with a focus on brain, character, and physical development of kids. Today, we have grown exponentially, with nearly 400 franchises sold to date and thousands of lives changed.
A radically different gym franchise is breaking the mold and changing lives
The Camp Transformation Center is a radically different type of gym franchise.
Founders Sam Bakhtiar and Alejandra Font realized that while everyone knows what it takes to lose weight – eat healthier and work out more – millions of people struggle to get results.
They believe that in this era of skyrocketing obesity, there is a better way to help the massively underserved audience.
Their pitch was simple: challenge people to lose 20 pounds in 6 weeks.
Form group classes of “challengers” and have them work out 5 times a week for 6 weeks.
Pair a high-intensity, interval workout with meal planning and a ton of positive emotional support.
Track everyone’s weight progress publicly in the gym.
Convert them to members if they succeed so they have clear incentive to hit a realistic and short-term goal.
The Camp Transformation Center Fitness Franchise Results
The results were not just weight loss for thousands of participants, but a community-focused gym. It is where transformed lives lead to an overwhelmingly positive atmosphere and culture.
This gym concept took off quickly, and within five years it has nearly 100 locations across the country and is growing rapidly.
The Camp Transformation Center is a low-cost fitness franchise with a simple business to manage.
The franchisor handles lead generation for franchisees removing the most difficult piece of gym ownership.
Franchisees get substantial numbers of interested customers and spend time signing people up rather than marketing and advertising.
A music franchise that teaches kids music the way kids want to learn it
Music is more a part of our culture than ever before. It’s everywhere, from iTunes and Spotify to national talent contests like “The Voice” to music-centric movies like “Pitch Perfect” & “Sing” and all-in family video games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Take a casual glance at Instagram, Facebook or YouTube and you’ll see lots of young musicians singing and performing popular songs.
At the same time, despite clear evidence that music education helps kids in school, music instruction in schools is dwindling, and that is increasing demand nationwide for private music instruction.
Enter Bach to Rock, a unique national franchise in what we think is one of the most underserved segments of the franchise industry: music education. We run profitable music schools by scrapping what kids hate about music lessons and incorporating more of what they want.
When kids picture playing an instrument, do you think they picture themselves playing “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and learning classical Spanish guitar? Or do you think they see themselves jamming to their favorite music?
Bach to Rock is the music school kids would have designed for themselves
Unlike traditional music instruction, we also turn music into a team sport. Bach to Rock employs a unique approach to music education that allows children to explore the kinds of music they love and then play that music with other students in bands that perform in public spaces. Students are much more motivated to learn when they’re playing the music they want to play and surrounded by bandmates. Picture being a seventh-grader who wants to learn guitar. You go to Bach to Rock and you immediately start learning to play the songs on your phone. Then you are introduced to your bandmates: Joshua is on the drums, Isabella is lead singer, Daniel is on the bass, and Hanna is on the keyboards and sings backup. You play together as a group, music blaring, amps turned up high. At home your parents scream: “Keep the racket down! We can’t hear ourselves think!” But your Bach to Rock teacher encourages you turn it up and let it rip. Then the lesson is over. Would you want to come back the next week? Can you see why we are successful?
Bach to Rock Director of Curriculum Aaron Schmidt says he always turns to the sports team analogy when describing the advantages of the Bach to Rock approach.
“If I’m learning to play basketball, I can go to the end of my driveway and shoot hoops for hours, which is great because it will help me with my accuracy. But if I don’t ever go to practice, then I don’t know how to interact with my teammates,” Aaron says. “So having that band element gives you that social interaction with other kids, other musicians, in a creative environment where you get to play music and make it your own. Even speaking from my personal experience, that was one huge thing that was missing for me. I wasn’t in a band until I was in college, and when I was I thought, ‘Oh, I get this, this is what music is about.’ It is having that sense of achievement and sense of accomplishment when you see what you can do when you are part of a group, part of something bigger than yourself.
The “team” approach to music instruction has made our business model very successful. On average, our students stay in music lessons at Bach to Rock for more than 70 weeks. We generate buzz, which keeps kids coming in the front door. We treat them like stars, which keeps them coming back.
As music and arts are increasingly pushed out of school curricula, parents are willing to spend a lot of money on private lessons. The future looks bright.
“If you look at a hierarchy of parental needs, education is at the top, and music education and sports are right up there,” says Brian Gross, President of Bach to Rock. “While we’re an extracurricular activity, we have a lot more depth and substance in terms of enrichment and cultural factors than other things, whether those other things are swimming or karate or dance or something else. I think when parents are forced to cut back, not only within a child’s activity set but bigger-picture items, whether it’s a country club membership, a vacation or a new car, thankfully, music education is pretty high up. For us to not make the cut, there have to be really dire circumstances.”
Great music franchise for multi-unit and investor owners
Bach to Rock’s initial investment is $241,500 to $531,500. We’re looking for investors with a net worth of $500,000 and a minimum liquidity of $100,000. Our business model is suited for the music lover who’s passionate about enriching his or her community and helping educate children. It also is ideal for the experienced investor who appreciates the revenue potential of opening several units. Our parent company owns a chain of schools, which proves the business is profitable and scalable. Bach to Rock envisions opening 500 schools across the nation over the next decade as we take the lead in this unique approach to music instruction. Prime territories are still available for development, and the industry is starting to take notice of the niche we’re carving out in this increasingly important market.

Generally we only award “Area Developer” franchises (meaning multi-unit franchises in specified regions or countries)
In certain cases, we engage in “Master Franchising” but only with very sophisticated, large groups with an existing restaurant support infrastructure.
We usually only franchise to restaurant companies with multiple units of non-competing brands. Sometimes a major private equity group qualifies or a holding company. We do not do single-unit franchising outside the US.
We offer free-standing, drive-thru as well as inline and food court versions (including smaller “express units”) including new prototypes developed for the post-Covid environment.
Founded on the principles of water conservation, Conserva Irrigation® delivers professional, innovative, and environmentally responsible irrigation services to its clients, including both residential homeowners and commercial property owners.
Conserva’s environmentally responsible approach to irrigation reduces water use from sprinkler systems by up to 60% for a typical property while fostering lush, healthy lawns and landscapes and an attractive ROI to both property owners and franchisees.
From repairs, maintenance, system redesigns, upgrades of existing irrigation systems, design and installation of new irrigation systems, and drainage projects, Conserva offers full-service irrigation services to both residential and commercial properties.
As the first franchise offering in the irrigation industry, Conserva offers clients the professionalism and comfort of dealing with a national branded entity compared to a small local “mom and pop” across the industry sector.
The Conserva business model includes:
Proven client acquisition and retention systems;
Proprietary irrigation system inspection methods to identify and communicate needed repairs and system efficiency upgrade opportunities to clients in order to secure sales;
Year-round cycle of irrigation-focused services to offer franchisees tactics to smooth any seasonality in their local market;
Consistent and predictable high-margin business model that produces median 61.0% gross profit margins for the top performing franchisees (As described in Item 19 in the Conserva Irrigation 2020 Franchise Disclosure Document);
Recurring revenue business model by “productizing” the service offerings into annual service agreements that creates stickiness of client relationships and revenue;
Professionally installed drainage solutions to manage sudden downpours or continual rainfall in a very short period of time, thus mitigating the damage to expensive landscapes and home foundations;
National and regional account opportunities developed by the franchisor where the work is subcontracted out to franchisees;
Robust proprietary field services IT platform for franchisees to market and operate their businesses; and
Established supply chain relationships with manufacturers and distributors that provides a cost of goods advantage to Conserva franchisees over local competitors.
Having launched as a franchise in July 2017 after five years of testing the model in nine markets throughout the country, Conserva has grown to surpass 100 locations in less than 3 ½ years. Among its numerous awards, it has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest growing private companies in 2019 and 2020. Conserva’s system sales continued to grow rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic as American’s hunkered down at home, they increased investments in home improvement and maintenance activities and Conserva is well-positioned to take advantage of this increased demand.
The Opportunity
Conserva Irrigation offers several key competitive advantages:
Booming Industry: COVID-resistant industry with over 50 million irrigation systems in the ground across the United States that need regular repair and servicing.
Emerging from Enterprise: Backed by a large multi-branded exterior home services franchise company, Outdoor Living Brands, that has successfully scaled four similar franchise businesses.
First Mover Advantage: Conserva is the first irrigation franchise bringing professionalism, innovation and environmental responsibility to a “mom and pop” dominated industry.
Environmental Responsibility: Conserva is an irrigation company that focuses on water conservation. Fresh water is the world’s most precious natural resource and, when an irrigation system is present, it accounts for almost 60% of the gallons used annually by a residential homeowner. Reducing water used in a sprinkler system is a property owners single largest opportunity to save water and lower its water bill.
Proprietary Sales Methodology: Conserva pioneered the development of a System Efficiency Score® (SES) to quantifiably rate irrigation systems and establish strong buying motivations.
Simple Scalable Model: Home-based, rapid launch, few employees.
Attractive Unit Economics: Strong AUV’s, quick ramp-up, high gross profit margins and recurring revenue model produces attractive franchise ROI.
Exceptional Franchisee Validation: Excited franchisees; Outstanding franchisee-franchisor relationships proven through annual 3rd party confidential validation research.
Customized, Proprietary Field Services IT Platform: Full enterprise IT platform handling marketing, field ops, inventory management, scheduling, routing, invoicing, payment processing and financial reporting integration.
Highly Accredited Business Coaches: Our franchise operations business coaches have a combined 100+ years of industry experience and collectively have earned and maintained every available industry accreditation, ASLA Backflow certification, including an in-house certified arborist.
Supply Chain Relationships: Negotiated supply chain relationships provide cost of goods advantage for franchisees over local competitors.
Regional and National Accounts: Conserva boasts a footprint that is attractive to enable the brand to secure national and regional accounts that local “mom and pop” contractors cannot serve.

The year was 1982. Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery had recently moved to Ohio from Buffalo, New York. Everything was great until one day, the two were craving wings — but not just any wings — authentic quality Buffalo-style chicken wings. With none to be found anywhere nearby, Jim and Scott had two choices: make a road trip back to New York or open a wings sports bar close to home. Lucky for us, they chose the latter, and over the next 10 years, Jim and Scott went from one chicken wings restaurant to seven, including locations in Ohio, Indiana, and Colorado. They began franchising in 1992 and by 1993, eight more restaurants were added.
WINGS. BEER. SPORTS. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?
Today, we are the ultimate franchise sports bar and grill. Our guests love to hang out, watch sports, drink beer, and eat some of the best friggin’ wings ever!
