FAST-GROWING FRANCHISE REACHES 150

LOGAN, Utah, Sept. 2- N-Hance, a wood floor and cabinet renewal system franchise, has recently registered its 150 th franchise territory. Anthony Rizzo, a career firefighter who resides in Morris County, New Jersey, and an existing franchise owner, has added a new territory to his N-Hance operations.

"N-Hance has proven to be a very successful for me. Based on the results, it was time for me to expand," said Rizzo. "My father was a cabinet maker; the business was a natural fit for me when I started 18 months ago."

Rizzo has also recruited another fire fighter and a long-time friend, Tony Dolegowski, to each open N-Hance franchises. Dolegowski left Wall Street a few years ago to work closer to home and escape the corporate world.

"Tony has witnessed the growth of my franchise; the flexibility it offers and the demand for these services in northern New Jersey," continued Rizzo. "The work is hard, but the results and gratification of working for yourself are great."

The new franchise is Rizzo's second territory with N-Hance. The first, opened in April, 2006, has already grown to five full-time employees. He is able to manage two crews from a home office and still work his 24-hour shift with the fire department.

"Anthony and Tony are like other franchise owners; they want a solid franchise opportunity that allows growth into a successful small business," said Rick Miyasaki, marketing director for N-Hance. "Over the last several months, we've had several owners who chose to leave corporate America, add additional income while keeping an existing career or expand services for an already successful, complimentary business."

N-Hance is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Home Depot and the craftsmen who renew the floors and cabinets are independent franchise owners. N-Hance was founded by the developers of the Chem-Dry carpet cleaning system, which operates in all 50 states and throughout the world.

Single and multiple franchise opportunities are available from N-Hance; each franchise covers an exclusive territory. N-Hance has developed a program that offers personalized support and templates designed for success.

About N-Hance

N-Hance is a wood floor and cabinet renewal system that produces like-new luster without the dust, mess and overwhelming odors of harsh chemicals or expense of traditional sanding and refinishing. For most homeowners the replacement of floors and cabinets is unnecessary. Over the years, dirt build-up and age-discolored finishes make wood look flat and lifeless. The N-Hance process thoroughly cleans the surface, repairs damaged areas and applies an elegant, durable and protective finish.
