Max Muscle Utilizes Social Media to Expand Franchise

Max Muscle is utilizing social media to help grow our franchise! We created a tab on Facebook in order to expand our reach and connect with a group of potential franchisees that we were unable to reach.

Our new "Own a MMSN" tab allows potential franchisees to look through why they should choose Max Muscle. The tab walks through our approach to serving customers, the support system our franchisee's provide, and the passion a franchisee should have within themselves.

After reading through the interactive tab, the individual can then apply to be contacted by a MMSN representative. One of our Senior Information Coordinators will then be in touch for a brief discussion and if it looks like we have common interest in each other, we'll then invite the individual to enter our 6 Step Franchise Information Gathering and Qualifying process.

If you haven't had a chance, check out the tab on our brand new fan page: http://www.facebook.com/MaxMuscleFranchise

Business helps teen gain ground against Crohn's disease
By: Cathy McKitrick

While most customers drop by James Gustason’s Max Muscle Sports Nutrition in Bountiful to find weight-loss and body-building boosters, Yvette Jones visits to help her son conquer Crohn’s disease.

Garrett Jones, now 17 and starting his senior year at Bountiful High School, has struggled with symptoms of the autoimmune disease for four years even though the official diagnosis did not come until early last year.

"We kept going to doctors" who blamed his intestinal troubles on parasites, Yvette Jones said. "Finally, I’d had enough. The kid looked like a walking skeleton — thin and white like a ghost."

The worried mom booked an appointment with a gastroenterologist. A subsequent colonoscopy detected the disease.

And from that point, Yvette Jones delved into various medical and homeopathic remedies that could assist her son in his day-to-day quest to rebound and thrive.
