Imagine having more time in your day for the things that you really want to do. Maybe it’s dropping your child off at school every morning or being there to meet the bus at the end of the day. Maybe it’s fitting in a gym visit or cooking class. Maybe it’s spending more time with family or friends. Whatever or whoever the reasons are behind your why, owning a franchise can be your path to owning your own schedule.
Keep reading to learn about the benefits of franchising and how staffing franchise opportunities with Express Employment Professionals can make your work-life balance dreams a reality.
A proven business model drives results
Express is a staffing franchise opportunity, which means you’ll match people looking for work with local businesses that have open positions. This work is not only meaningful and fulfilling, but it can also grow into a financially rewarding business. The AUV of an Express office open over five years is $5.7M.*
Express Franchise Owners often comment on how the business model is a great balance between the emotional rewards of helping people, spending more time doing what they love, and earning the kind of money they want. “Express has afforded me those opportunities,” says Franchise Owner Zach Daffin. “One was to spend more time with my family. Two was to put myself in a position to earn the kind of money I wanted.”
Express has been ranked the #1 Staffing Franchise for a staggering 14 consecutive years by Entrepreneur magazine. This honor is based on factors like franchisee satisfaction, financial performance and growth potential. Being recognized with this award shows that Express has been acknowledged as a leader and top staffing franchise opportunity by industry experts.
A structured schedule provides stability
Express offices are open during traditional business hours, giving Franchise Owners a more predictable schedule that they can plan around. There are no late-night or weekend shifts to cover. “The key difference is really work-life balance,” says Franchise Owner Reggie Kaji. “I love having a nine-to-five job and being with my family a little bit more.” Franchise Owner Nicole Kraehmer echoes this sentiment, saying, “I can pick my son up every day from school, which to mama’s heart is just awesome.”
The support you need to grow your business
Express has over 40 years of experience in the staffing industry, and Franchise Owners reap the benefits. The best part of this staffing franchise opportunity? You don’t need any staffing experience to own an Express. We provide all the support you need to create a successful staffing business from Day 1. “I would say the one thing Express does really well is supporting its Franchise Owners,” says franchisee Steve Wong.

“The support we receive from headquarters is really anything we need,” says Reggie. Zach adds, “If you don’t have a staffing background or sales background, don’t worry. You’ll get all of the support you need to be successful.”
