Showhomes expands staging service to Memphis, Tennessee

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Showhomes Franchise Corporation Announces

New Franchise Opening in Memphis, Tennessee

Nashville, TN (Grassroots Newswire) <June 9> -- When it comes to franchising opportunities, some may say, "They're a dime a dozen!" Nothing could be farther from the truth. For instance, take a look at the Showhomes Franchise Corporation. In a year that has seen the real estate market fall to one of its lowest points in history, Showhomes continues to beat market conditions and increases revenues.

Showhomes, America's largest home staging company with 29 franchises in 19 states, does this by helping home owners sell high-end vacant homes. In 2007, not only did they experience a 45 percent revenue growth over last year, but they continued to open new franchises across the country. Showhomes most recent success story belongs to Heidi and Jeff Ross of Little Rock, Arkansas.

Having achieved tremendous success with their first Showhomes franchise which they purchased five years ago in the Little Rock metro area, the Ross' decided to expand their quality services to Western Tennessee by opening their new franchise in the Memphis metro area. "We are looking forward to working with new realtors and providing opportunities for home managers in the Western Tennessee area," said Jeff Ross. "When we purchased our franchise in 2003, we decided then that we would build our franchise on quality and not quantity. Now the fruits of our consistent diligence have paid off. We believe the key to our success has been practicing quality in every area, without compromise, and the continual discipline of marketing to our customers. We now look forward to duplicating our Little Rock success as we begin a new franchise in Memphis."

"We are very proud of Heidi and Jeff's success," said Matt Kelton, chief operating officer for Showhomes Corporation. "The Showhomes franchise is in no way new to Tennessee; our headquarters is here. We are extremely excited about the opportunity to expand our name and services westward, and the Ross' are exactly the right people to do it having earned the Franchise of the Year and Strongest Market Presence awards in 2007."

"Jeff and Heidi Ross operate a business that provides true value to Realtors and home owners in and around Little Rock," said Bert Lyles, Showhomes CEO. "They produce some of the best home staging in the country and have a lengthy track record of succeeding and beating market conditions. We are proud of their performance and look forward to what they will accomplish in 2008."
