Japan
U.S. franchising has heavily influenced the development of Japan’s franchise industry since in the early 1970s. Service and retail franchises hold about 80 percent of the total franchise market, however, the growth rate for service franchises is higher than that of other franchise business types. Service franchises have room to grow, especially for new franchising concepts. Japan’s rapidly aging society is providing franchising opportunities in various market segments such as consumption trends by the elderly.

Right at Home's service couldn't be any better. They know what is needed and do it efficiently. Their performance is excellent, and they cover everything they do. The Right at Home care giving team does not just sit around - they look for things to do, and are quite smart. The caregivers are great companions, and I would gladly recommend Right at Home to a friend.
