The company is currently looking for its first franchisees to grow alongside the company. Franchising with Power Trucks USA comes with major benefits, aside from joining an already booming, recession-resistant market. Here are several reasons why you should consider being one of the first. **Access to Management** Being one of the first Power Trucks USA franchisees means direct access to management, including the founder and CEO, Jeremiah Fiel. COO Tim Seltzer noted that this would give the franchisee an ongoing, personalized experience from start to finish. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to collaborate in formulating and finalizing the operational aspects of the franchise. “Because we have no franchisees yet, things are going to happen as they happen,” said Seltzer. “The first franchisees will be able to have much more input into how we lock and load everything for future franchisees.” Though the company will eventually get insight from all franchisees, being among the first will allow them to get involved in how things are done and give feedback on franchise operations from the very beginning. **Competitive Advantage** There is also a competitive advantage to whatever market area the first franchisee is in, Seltzer noted. “There are a lot of mom and pop shops out there but no one that fully does as many things as we do, and certainly no franchise out there that has as many profit generating centers as we have,” he said. Power Trucks USA aims to satisfy all truck, Jeep, car and SUV enthusiasts. The aftermarket accessories we use are endless, including lift kits, wheels, bumpers, lighting, bed covers, toolboxes, hitches and winches, window tinting, audio systems and floor mats. The company also performs all general maintenance services, such as oil changes, brakes, tires and engine repairs on all types of vehicles. Prospective franchisees can tap into those revenue streams for a competitively low investment range of $250,000 to $500,000. “The economics are just very strong,” said Jeff Shiring, co-founder of Power Trucks USA and founder and managing partner of Whitecap Enterprises. “It is a very reasonable investment compared to other franchises, and the returns presented in the FDD are very significant.” **More Authority in the Franchise** The first franchisees will also be the ones that new and prospective franchisees turn toward for information. Seltzer added that this provides a lot more visibility, not only on the corporate side but also to the generation of franchisees coming in. Being the first people to go through that process gives them a position of authority within the organization. “Your best franchisees are the ones that the franchise goes to for information,” Seltzer said. The first franchisees also have the opportunity to really help mold the business and have the authority to explore what services will do the best in certain markets. **Potential Challenges** One of the clearest challenges for early investors in a franchise is the element of risk. However, Seltzer noted that you still have the backing and knowledge of a business that has been around for years, already mitigating many potential risks for you. Finding the right location could also prove to be difficult. Power Trucks USA is hoping to alleviate some of this but focusing first on the Mid-Atlantic region, where they are currently located in Warrenton, Virginia. The franchise also has a national real estate company that specializes in assisting franchisees find their locations, wherever they may be. Being close to home base will allow the first franchisees to have someone close by to help with any issues or questions that may arise. However, the team is willing to partner with franchisees anywhere in the country. Some nearby markets in Virginia would include Charlottesville, Richmond, Williamsburg, Virginia Beach, Lynchburg, Winchester and Blacksburg. The brand new franchise has wide-open availability, with room to add at least half a dozen territories in the state. However, with that being said, Power Trucks USA is generating a great deal of interest in the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Arizona and Texas, so it will go wherever it makes sense to do so. ## Entities - 1851 Franchise (publication) - Automotive (sector) - franchise opportunity (topic) - expansion (topic) - competitive advantage (topic) - automotive franchise (topic) - Warrenton, Virginia (location) - Mid-Atlantic region (location) --- Originally reported by 1851 Franchise (https://1851franchise.com/benefits-of-being-the-first-power-trucks-usa-franchisee-2719863).
