The NonProfit Times - The Leading Business Publication For Nonprofit Management: "Nonprofits Buying Into Franchises

The Evergreen Commons Senior Center, in Holland, Mich., never worked with a franchise before inking a deal four years ago with American Ramp Systems in South Boston, Mass.

The operation differs from the public health club the nonprofit purchased nine years ago. “Part of the decision to have the franchise comes from the uniqueness of the product,” said Larry Erlandson, president of Evergreen. “We determined that the product was very good and they offered services like a call center and marketing for support.”"
