## Story

The neighborly concept, commonly referred to as the “official neighborhood news source,” is entering a new phase of strategic growth by announcing its franchise initiative. Under the concept’s new franchise entity Neighbors Choice™, the organization is now offering individuals an opportunity to become self-employed and invest in a business that offers a flexible work environment, with unlimited potential to create a product that benefits community residents and small business owners alike.

Founded by San Antonio native, entrepreneur, and dedicated journalist Susan Schopp, Neighborhood News Inc. currently provides a variety of micro-local publication services to subdivisions, small municipalities, and homeowners’ associations throughout major cities in Texas. After noticing neighborhoods’ need for more effective communication tools, Schopp was eager to help residents connect on local topics of interest and provide ad space for small businesses to share their services.

“Our concept has evolved over the years, becoming an integral addition to communities throughout Texas, and it’s truly a win-win-win proposition for everyone involved,” said Schopp, President and CEO of Neighbors Choice™. “Community leadership teams win, the small business advertisers win, and we have the pleasure of helping residents connect through subject matters that are relevant and valuable to their local areas. We are thrilled to begin franchising with more people who want to invest in and build a community-centered business, provide news that’s close to home, and reap the rewards from our proven system.”

After 25 years of operating a successful business model, the brand now serves close to 100 communities throughout Texas, such as Dallas, Austin, and their home base of San Antonio.

In addition to providing recurring revenue, Neighbors Choice™ allows franchisees the flexibility to work from home in their designated territory and bridge the gap between residents and the business community. While franchisees work with neighborhood groups to build their territory, they will also sell ad space to local business owners. The corporate team then facilitates the newsletter content, printing, and distribution process.

Franchisees will receive comprehensive training and support while selling a variety of products and services that improve and enhance the communication between the local business community and neighborhood residents.
