About Driving Miss Daisy
Driving Miss Daisy, an Alberta based franchise operation, provides quality assistance, accompaniment services to seniors and those with disabilities. Driving Miss Daisy was established January 1, 2002. As of September 2012 Driving Miss Daisy has 60 operational franchises and 45 Franchise owners and several pending sales in the works. To date, Franchises are operational throughout Alberta, BC, Ontario, Saskatchewan and we are adding Manitoba as our 5th Canadian province. Franchise opportunities are available throughout Canada. Do you want to be independent, own your own business and control your earning potential? To be awarded a Driving Miss Daisy franchise you must possess a dedication to succeed, a determination for independence and the desire to help seniors and those with disabilities. We are looking for a team of owners across Canada who can share our mission and passion for serving seniors and those with disabilities. The oldest boomers are now 60 years old and life expectancy is now 80 years. The number of seniors in Canada is currently about 3.9 million and this is projected to increase to 9.8 million by 2036. While longer life spans give people more time to enjoy their lives, this fact also presents a series of challenges, limitations and disabilities that increase with age (mobility, agility, hearing, vision and pain). Driving Miss Daisy strives to help individuals and their families overcome these challenges. Driving Miss Daisy offers: 1. Low start-up costs 2. Home based - low overhead 3. No medical or health care experience required 4. Predominantly a cash business with very few receivables 5. Exclusive territories For a one-time franchise fee of $20,000 and no monthly Royalty Fees, you can own and operate your own small business within our family of franchisees. It is a simple turn-key business that enables you to be up and running within 14-21 days.
