Meineke operates in a needs-based industry with high demand. In today’s economy, investing in a growing industry is essential, and the automotive industry, which has grown significantly since 2000, is projected to continue rapid growth for the next 10 years and beyond. This is due in part to consumers holding on to their cars for longer periods of time and increasing miles driven, which results in increased maintenance and repairs. The industry is primarily comprised of thousands of small chains and mom-and-pop operators, but favors large players due to economies of scale, support structures, and marketing pull.
Coinciding with the growing automotive aftermarket, the Meineke Car Care franchise has also realized positive same-store sales growth since 2009. Even during the economic downturn, Meineke’s systemwide sales continued to grow, which shows the auto industry is recession-proof.
Meineke Car Care Centers is the cornerstone franchise company within Driven Brands, the nation’s leading automotive franchise holding company. The collective power and support of the nation’s leading automotive aftermarket company creates a secure and one of a kind entrepreneurial opportunity. Meineke has one of the most comprehensive training programs in the industry, perhaps in all of franchising! All new franchisees must attend Meineke University, a two-week training program in Charlotte, NC, which teaches the necessary management and technical skills. Meineke’s initial license fee pays for the flights and hotel for up to two franchise agreement signees. Meineke Online also provides franchisees and their employees with over 70 online courses. Additionally, Meineke Operations provides in-center training on an ongoing basis as well as training webinars. Furthermore, Meineke hosts yearly conventions/meetings for franchisees, each of which focuses on different aspects of the business. This is a fantastic training opportunity for those who do not know the technical side of the automotive industry, and for those who are familiar, it is a terrific opportunity to learn about running a business.
Realize your dreams, take control of your own destiny, widen your portfolio, start your retirement plan, get out of the corporate rat race, and run a successful Meineke.
Your future awaits - become a successful member of the Meineke family today.
