Caring Transitions Signs Agreement for New Location in Stroudsburg, Continues Impressive Momentum


As the nation’s largest provider of senior-relocation services, Caring Transitions is increasingly making waves in the $832.8 billion industry, as there are very few businesses specifically equipped to help seniors move from their homes to a care facility or to manage the relocation or sale of all personal belongings. Caring Transitions helps seniors relocate by spending time at their homes, helping them pack and organize their belongings, then moving those belongings to the new home and setting them up in a way that feels comfortable.

Scott Bowles, the franchise owner behind the new Stroudsburg signing, says they are excited to bring these much-needed services to their community. The deal was closed by James Stapleton, Vice President of Franchise Development.

Bowles previously worked in marketing for over 20 years for pharmaceuticals, finance, and insurance companies. He was eager to leave the corporate world and start something new with Caring Transitions. He was initially drawn to the franchise because it provides an essential service and prioritizes supporting its franchisees.

Now, with more and more qualified and passionate franchisees like Bowles signing on to join the system, Fabik says Caring Transitions shows no signs of slowing down.

“We know that we have a great brand and that Caring Transitions ownership can be a great fit for someone who is tired of their corporate job and wants control of their own destiny, wants to own a business that is truly making a difference in communities, or wants to apply their skill set to working in the senior or auction space,” Fabik said. “Now, we want to accelerate growth because we believe there should be a Caring Transitions location in every market to serve seniors and their families through life’s stages.”

Caring Transitions has identified these states as priorities for franchise development: Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont.

Fees to open a Caring Transitions range from $58,912 to $84,612. To learn more about franchising with Caring Transitions, visit https://strategicfranchising.com/caring-transitions/.

ABOUT CARING TRANSITIONS:
Caring Transitions provides older adults and their families with the most trusted, respected and comprehensive downsizing, right-sizing, estate sales and online auctions, and move management solutions in the industry. Founded in 2006, the brand is committed to helping people in a compassionate and caring manner during life’s many transitions while providing a total and easy solution for clients in their time of need.
