Arizona Franchisees Looking To Weather The Covid-19 Economic Storm
Two months ago Joe and Patty Caradonna were watching their business grow. More and more clients were signing up for secure document shredding services at their ProShred location in Arizona.
“We were doing really well,” said Joe. “We were signing more customers and had just closed on two really big clients. I was happy with where we were headed.”
Then came Covid-19. The pandemic has forced states, cities, local municipalities, and even some franchisees to shut down in an effort to stop the spread of the infectious virus.
“It has been really tough because customers are putting service on hold until the pandemic clears up,” said Joe. “There is not much people can do, we just need to focus on making sure the business stays afloat.”
Franchises are struggling through this economic downturn, but franchisees can find proactive ways to keep their head above waters over the next few months.
Business consultant John Waters said, “The most important thing that franchisees need to do right now is to break even long enough to get to the other side. Every business wants to make a profit, but every franchisee should focus on what kind of sales they need on a monthly or weekly basis to continue to function.”
