Franchise Business Review (FBR), the leading source for market research among top performing franchisees, has researched more than 800 successful franchise brands across the entire industry. Recently, FBR released 2016’s list of the Top 100 Franchises for Military Veterans, identified as a benchmark for franchisee satisfaction.

Miracle Method, the nation’s largest surface refinishing franchise with 137 locations in over 35 states is named by FBR as a Top Franchise Opportunity for Veterans. The refinishing brand specializes in residential and commercial upgrades including; colleges, universities, hospitals, restaurants, hotels and more. Also known as a cost-effective alternative to replacement remodeling, refinishing is a proprietary process that repairs and renews existing countertops, bathtubs, showers, tile and more to like new condition. The secret to the brand’s success is their ability to provide cost-effective renovations that are long-lasting and absolutely beautiful. In addition to residential and commercial refinishing, Miracle Method offers a variety of bathing safety products for the aging and mobility impaired. With multiple streams of revenue opportunity, Miracle Method presents a proven franchise opportunity for veterans.

Prospects with military experience make exceptional franchise candidates, because of the many transferrable skills for business ownership that are acquired with military experience such as leadership, communication and project planning. In fact, some of Miracle Method’s most successful franchises are owned by military veterans. Scott Allis, a retired veteran from the U.S Air Force made the decision to further expand his Miracle Method territory from Rochester to Buffalo, New York. Retired veteran Ted Fisher, owner of Miracle Method of Boston Metro West, Massachusetts has also experienced aggressive growth in the refinishing business with six additional Miracle Method territories in three states. Existing franchise expansion is a true testament to the brand’s strong business foundation geared towards phenomenal growth and success. Miracle Method continues to set the pace to exceed 60 million YTD revenues for 2016, an impressive 12% increase from 2015.

John Tubiolo, VP of Franchise Sales and Development said, “As a veteran myself, being recognized as a Top Franchise for Military Veterans is an outstanding honor. Our proven systems and extensive support model make us an ideal match for veterans looking to succeed in the refinishing business.”

This fall, as thousands of students head back to the classroom to kick off the new school year, dozens of Miracle Method owners, managers and technicians got an education of their own. This was part of Miracle Method’s annual series of training workshops, and this year they were held in Colorado Springs, Cleveland and Corpus Christi.

The continuing education offered by Miracle Method includes technical seminars, front-of-office and sales programs and leadership training. According to Erin Gilliam, the Director of Marketing for Miracle Method, these workshops are a big part of why the brand remains the nation’s No. 1 surface refinishing company.

“These workshops not only add to the technical ability of our franchisees and technicians, but also help maintain the gap between ourselves and our competitors. No one else in the surface refinishing industry offers the same high quality continuing education programs,” Gilliam said. “Miracle Method team members, technicians and owners never stop learning.”

For the 14th year in a row, Eric Stacy, a Miracle Method franchisee in Nashville, Tennessee, attended the technical seminar along with two other employees from his leadership team. This series of workshops exists to cover the latest techniques and developments in the surface refinishing of bathtubs, tile, fiberglass, acrylic, marble and laminate bathroom and kitchen surfaces. This year, Stacy learned about a new Miracle Method product line—giving him the opportunity to bring what he learned and apply it back to his location in Nashville.

“These workshops are incredibly valuable to the growth of the company overall. We’re always looking for something to add to our list of services that we provide, and this is a great way to be able to connect with other people in the Miracle Method system and share valuable information. It’s about reinforcing and perfecting the technical steps we already know while also learning about something new,” Stacy said.

Stacy added that having the opportunity to connect with other Miracle Method owners, manager and technicians holds great value, too.

“We’re a big organization—and we’re only going to continue growing. At the local level, we’re all trying to accomplish the same thing, which is to run a successful business. But the great thing is, we all have our own way of doing things. Sharing those experiences—those trials and tribulations, successes and failures—is a great way to learn, whether you’re a technician or an office manager. There’s always some kind of lesson to take back with you to make your location better,” Stacy said.

Maggie Brown, an office manager for Miracle Method in Northwest Atlanta who has also attended the workshops, agrees—the training programs are the perfect opportunity to learn best practices from the people who know the business best: other office managers, franchisees and technicians that work with Miracle Method.

“As a franchise that is growing, we are constantly having to make changes for the better. During workshops, I was able to get some great feedback from other franchisees on how they are running their offices and what is working best. As a result of the valuable insight, we plan on having more staff meetings and going back to listen to our customer calls on a more regular basis,” said Maggie Brown, an office manager for Miracle Method in North West Atlanta. “That kind of advice is invaluable, and it can only come from people just like myself who are truly engrained in the day to day operations. Having the chance to connect with likeminded people at the workshops makes our business better, stronger and more streamlined in the end.”

Justin Jurek has always had a professional interest in the housing industry, but after working on a startup concept that focused on researching and analyzing multifamily rental units, he discovered he wanted to take on more of a consumer facing service role. That’s when he discovered Miracle Method, the largest professional bathroom and kitchen refinishing franchise in the country.

“As soon as my wife and I were introduced to the Miracle Method brand, we saw a unique business opportunity. Miracle Method offers such an effective and affordable solution to a common problem, and it’s really paving the way in the entire refinishing industry,” said Jurek. “That’s why we jumped on board right away—the brand has turned a corner that no other company in the industry has even seen yet.”

Miracle Method offers its customers an unparalleled refinishing service that makes dated, worn or unattractive kitchen and bathroom fixtures look brand new without the mess and hassle of replacement. The brand’s refinishing also cost up to 75 percent less than granite countertops, new bathtub installations and traditional removal and replacement options. Jurek says that amazing value has helped his business take off just one month after opening its doors.

“The response we’ve seen so far has been overwhelmingly positive. As soon as consumers discover that they can save not only time but also money by using Miracle Method, they jump at the chance to work with us,” Jurek said. “Since we’ve been open, we’ve only taken on residential work. But we’re excited to expand by adding commercial and major community clients to our lineup.”

Miracle Method works closely with its franchisees—both new and experienced—to ensure that business operations are running smoothly. The brand offers initial and ongoing training that is designed to set local owners up for success. It’s clear that supportive structure pays off—even though Jurek officially opened his doors for business at the end of the summer, he’s already establishing multiple customer relationships and making plans for future expansion.

“The growth potential for Miracle Method’s services throughout the metropolitan Twin Cities area is unlimited. Between the region’s residential areas and numerous corporate headquarters that are housed here, there’s no shortage of potential customers in need of our superior services,” said Jurek. “There’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll be able to replicate the national success of the Miracle Method brand here on the local level.”
