Franchisee Success Stories
“Scott Thompson is widely regarded as one of the most esteemed professionals in the franchise industry. His extensive knowledge and numerous connections make him highly sought after. I have had the privilege of co-teaching a franchising class at a major university with Scott for several years. His genuine care for individuals and passion for seeing others succeed are truly remarkable. Scott is an invaluable asset and someone you definitely want in your corner.”
“I met Scott through franchising over 15 years ago. He has been a colleague, client, and friend for many years.
Scott really understands all aspects of franchising and has been successful in many ventures. His dedication to the industry and professionalism make him an ideal franchise coach.
Scott has furthered his education as is a teacher at UGA. It’s all part of giving back. He’s a valuable resource for me as a franchise consultant. We share ideas and solve challenges together when I need another point of view.
If I was looking for a franchise opportunity Scott would be my first phone call.”

He is a consummate professional, honest and has keen insight into franchise sales and operations. I would highly recommend him in the franchise space as he would be an asset in building any system the correct way with sound fundamentals.”
“Working with Scott Thompson was an absolute game-changer in my franchise selection process.

His insights into the franchise landscape, combined with his ability to ask the right questions and highlight both opportunities and risks, gave me the clarity I needed to move forward with confidence.

“When my business partner Bryan and I were exploring franchises, we were torn between multiple concepts. Looking back, we’re beyond thankful Scott helped us choose Jan-Pro. Today, we run a business generating north of $1 million a month. Scott was thoughtful, patient, and genuinely acted in our best interest — not just trying to sell us something. He was our trusted guide into franchising, and I’m forever grateful for his insight and integrity. I’d work with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone considering franchising.”

“I have worked with Scott since 2009, as both a service provider and as a co-worker. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Scott and trust him implicitly to always do the right thing. Scott has the integrity to make every venture a long term success! He is well known and respected within the industry and stays on top of what’s going on in the industry so he knows what works and what doesn’t. Scott is very easy to work with and his enthusiasm for producing results is contagious. Scott also has a Midas touch – everything he works on becomes a success!”

When I first met Scott Thompson twenty-two years ago I saw an inexperienced young man in his early twenties who was a little rough around the edges but he had this very likable way about him. He was humble, enthusiastic and had what I call a ‘whatever it takes’ approach.
At the time of our meeting I was the Founder and CEO of Fitness Together and Elements Massage and he was a personal trainer at one of our Fitness Together Studios in Boston. Scott was being considered for our ‘Grow & Go’ mentoring program and being an old school guy I felt that the intangibles Scott had would carry him far so we took a chance on him.
Wow! Little did I know how right I was more than two decades ago. In the business world of franchising and leadership Scott Thompson has risen to the top as his journey has taken him from a fitness trainer, to a Fitness Together studio owner and then to an Area Director in perhaps the most difficult city to develop, New York.
Along with our talented executive team Scott and the other Area Directors were directly responsible for our rapid growth seeing Fitness Together reach number 4 in the fitness category and number 77 overall in the top franchises in the United States in 2006. With 450 units open and 623 sold. Scott played a very significant role creating momentum in the Northeast and adding multiple locations. After his FT days Scott has been at the executive and development level at several leading franchise groups owning multiple brands.
Through it all Scott remains reliable, dedicated to the company he represents hard working and eternally upbeat. Of particular value to me is the ability Scott has to see business opportunities and challenges through the eyes of a polished executive but also remember to see things through the eyes of the employees and the customers. He has never forgotten where he came from.
Today Scott has entered a new chapter in his professional life as he works directly with candidates interested in owning their own business through a franchised model. Choose Scott Thompson to lead you though the ever changing maze of franchise choices and rest assured you are in good hands as his experience, vast knowledge of the space and his integrity will serve you well.

“Scott played a critical and valuable role as we navigated the early stages of franchising our brand. He was always professional, responsive, and a very steady presence throughout the process. His vast experience was so important in knowing what to prioritize (and importantly what not to). Always positive, upbeat and thoughtful, Scott was always on hand to support us and a phone call away.”
