## Story

ATC Healthcare announced it tapped veteran franchise executive Scott Nichols as VP of Franchise Development.

Nichols has 30 years of experience in franchising and development roles, including Senior VP of Franchise Development for Charter Fitness and Director of Franchise Development for Sears Hometown & Outlet Stores. He joins ATC Healthcare from RBN Consulting in Northbrook, IL, where he worked as Executive Franchise Consultant. His diverse experience includes advising clients in quick service, retailing and service industries on all aspects of business/franchise development and operations.

“Scott will be responsible for helping us tap into markets with large concentrations of healthcare facilities as well as support our partners that can acquire multiple territories in a given geographic region,” said ATC Healthcare CEO, David Savitsky.

At Charter Fitness, Nichols managed the ground-up development of Spenga Studio, a boutique studio fitness concept. Spenga Studio began franchising in 2015 and sold franchise locations during Nichols’ tenure. For Sears, he led the franchise development of Sears Home & Outlet Stores, most of which were sold to multi-unit franchisees. As a result, Sears Home & Outlet Stores landed on Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500 list.
