## Story

- ***Organization awards 18 locations with continued forecast for expansion***

- ***COVID-19 underscores the needs of seniors, the most vulnerable population, and business demands that serve them***

“After record growth in April, we continue to see a surge in interest from franchisee candidates who recognize the demand for services that cater to a rapidly aging population,” says J.J. Sorrenti, CEO of Best Life Brands. “When COVID-19 hit, we immediately took steps to pivot our business, taking aspects virtual and making sure to share best practices across our network of three brands. It hasn’t always been easy for us and our franchisees, but the pandemic has made our business stronger and smarter as we move into the second half of 2020.”

The organization is welcoming six new locations for CarePatrol in Happy Valley, OR; Fayetteville, AR; Louisville, KY; Portland, OR; Huntington, NY; and Miami, FL; five new ComForCare owners signed for locations in Baltimore, MD; Chicago, IL; Memphis, TN; Nashville, TN; and Richmond-Markham, Ontario; and Blue Moon Estate Sales awarded four new locations in Perrysburg, OH; Buckhead, GA; Denver, CO; Columbia, SC; and three locations in Minneapolis, MN.

“As we look to the future of Best Life Brands, our focus on the wellness and well-being of our clients will be much broader and deeper on the care continuum,” says Sorrenti. “We have so many opportunities in our three existing brands and we will be selective and strategic as we continue to expand.”

Best Life Brands includes ComForCare and At Your Side, premier franchised providers of home care; CarePatrol, the nation’s largest franchised senior placement organization; and Blue Moon Estate Sales, the leading estate sale franchise in the U.S. Together, they include nearly 400 franchise locations across the U.S. and Canada. The company plans to add more franchise locations to each brand’s roster, along with future franchise-based acquisitions to round out the corporate portfolio.

Based in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., Best Life Brands, LLC is a holding company that includes ComForCare and At Your Side, premier franchised providers of home care; CarePatrol, the nation’s largest franchised senior placement organization; and Blue Moon Estate Sales, the leading estate sale franchise in the U.S., which together include nearly 400 franchise locations across the U.S. and Canada.
