Jeffrey Mosher welcomes David Montanez, VP Franchise Development, and Josh Minturn, VP of Development Authority Brands, a Maryland based company with a heavy presence in Southeastern Michigan, Bloomfield Hills, from Arlington, Tennessee and Omaha, Nebraska

Hear David, Josh and Jeffrey discuss why franchising and home services are thriving in Detroit amid workforce shifts and economic uncertainty, in the SoundCloud podcast shared below:

In their conversation, Jeffrey looked to find out several things from David and Josh;

1. With layoffs and hiring slowdowns nationwide, why is franchising becoming an attractive option for professionals seeking stability and growth?

 
2. What makes Detroit a particularly strong market for home-service franchises right now, and how are local economic conditions shaping opportunity?
 
3. Authority Brands owns 16 home-service concepts. How does a multi-brand approach help franchisees maximize opportunities in a single market?
 
4. What kinds of support and resources does Authority Brands provide to franchisees to help them succeed, especially in a challenging economy?
 
5. Can you share an example of a local franchisee in Detroit who is successfully navigating these trends, and what lessons others might learn from them?
 
6. As we move into 2026, what trends do you expect will drive growth in franchising and home services, both locally in Detroit and nationally?
