7 Fun Things to Do at the International Franchise Expo
June 16, 2014 1:01 am 6 Comments Headed to the International Franchise Expo at the Javits Center in New York City June 19-21? If so, here are some unusual ways to spend your visit:
- Find out what it’s like to be part of an Apex Fun Run with tents, flags and cones, along with video streaming (Booth 1014).
- Get in on free brain training demonstrations every 30 minutes at Learning Rx. See how long it takes you to break a mental sweat (Booth 1036).
- Ever thought of eating pizza in a cone? Probably not, but now you can. Check out Kono Pizza’s full kitchen setup with menu boards, counter/prep area, and proprietary oven (Booth 922).
- Got a spot on your carpet at home and you just can’t get rid of it? Chem-Dry wants you to test their World Famous Professional Spot Remover. It’s a natural cleaning product designed to destroy the bond between stains and carpet fibers. Better yet, here’s an example of how franchisees use a product to generate added income! (Booth 704).
- Maui Wowi’s Ka’anapali Cart will introduce you to fresh Hawaiian coffee, as well as fresh, gluten-free, all-natural smoothies.
- Young Engineers will host mini challenges at their booth so that you can get hands on with the various “edutainment” offered by franchisees. Can you win a prize?
- Snap your selfie with a tricked-out Camaro as Line-X Protective Coatings.

I’m curious if this is really the best agenda to stick to for a new franchiser. I would like to get a clearer idea of what is the best way for me good use of my time at expos like this.
Any thoughts?
This sounds like a blast! Would you recommend this expo over other franchise expos? I have never been to any before but I figure it is a great way to discover lots of options in one place.
I’d like to find out more? I’d love to find out some additional
information.
You’ll find lots more info at ifeinfo.com. Best wishes.
I recommend all of the MFV Exposition franchise expos — they occur in New York City (IFE — the largest) as well as LA, Miami and Houston. Go to ifeinfo.com for details about all of their expos.
I’ve written on that very topic . . . and the IFE produces a lot of similar material. Attending the free seminars and symposia (mine is sold out on Saturday) is a great use of time at the IFE. Then taking some time to think about the type of business you want (and can afford) and then walking the show floor to find those kinds of businesses also makes a lot of sense.
