The brand has a presence in 30 states and several locations in Canada. Over the next three years, Baker hopes to double the size of today’s system and anticipates adding 60 more franchisees. “101 Mobility has a great network, and we hope to have a presence in every state. We intend to make this a household name,” says Baker. “Every community needs someone like us, and 101 Mobility’s franchise owners make a difference in people’s lives. As we get repeat business, our reputation will precede our work - and that helps our franchisees grow.” Baker formerly served on the board of the International Franchise Association (IFA), Institute of Certified Franchise Executives. He is also a former board advisor for the Metropolitan State University Center for Innovation’s franchising program. He has earned the IFA’s Certified Franchise Executive (CFE) designation. It was during his 20 years of service in the military that Baker gained much of his leadership experience. He served on active duty in the U.S. Army as an infantry officer and retired from the U.S. Army Reserve at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Baker acknowledges and appreciates 101 Mobility’s efforts to assist our country’s veterans, both by helping clients with disabilities and by offering a discount to veteran franchisee candidates. 101 Mobility was created in 2008 to deliver mobility and accessibility solutions to an underserved yet growing market of people that are faced with limited physical mobility.
