The U.S. Administration on Aging predicts that by 2030, there will be an estimated 72.1 million senior citizens in the U.S. – more than twice the number that existed in 2000. And as members of population ages, their ability to remain mobile in their daily lives becomes limited.
In response to the country’s evolving wellness needs, 101 Mobility— a full-service sales, service and installation provider of a complete line of affordable, high-quality mobility products—launched its franchise program in April 2010. Now the company is announcing the signing of its first franchisees in separate regions of the country. As of August, 2010, business owners Michel and Andrea Ragland, Reading, Penn; and Janice B. Gordon and Judy D. Barnhardt, Easley, S.C., will begin servicing residents in their respective territories. For the Ragland’s, those areas include Reading, Allentown, Lebanon, Coatsville, Pottstown and Bethlehem; for Gordon and Barnhardt, they include upstate South Carolina, western North Carolina and parts of Georgia.
