DoodyCalls of Coastal North Carolina recently helped turn the spotlight toward adoptable dogs in need of loving homes.

Over the summer, the team sponsored a session of The Photo District’s Seen & Saved Initiative, a local effort that provides professional photography for foster and rescue dogs to help increase their visibility and adoption opportunities.

The event captured 37 professional pet portraits and raised more than $600 in support of Paws Place Dog Rescue.

“Overall, the event exceeded our expectations,” said franchise owner Mackenzie Liles. “It was incredible to see our community come together to support a local rescue while creating positive exposure for DoodyCalls of Coastal NC.”

We’re proud to see our franchise owners making a meaningful impact in their local communities, one good deed and one good dog at a time.

At the center of the “Great Career Shift” is a simple truth: younger professionals want more control over how they work and what they’re building. Gen Z and Millennials are prioritizing things like autonomy, flexibility, ownership, and long-term growth, over compensation or traditional career progression.

That's where franchising systems like Authority Brands come into play.

Authority Brands is a network of 15 home service brands, approximately 2,700 territories, and 1,000 franchise owners nationwide. What matters most is how the model is built; it’s designed to combine structure with scalability, giving owners a foundation to start from and room to grow.

That structure helps address one of the biggest barriers to ownership: uncertainty. Rather than starting from scratch, owners step into an established system with training, resources, and ongoing operational guidance. Over time, they can build teams, shape their schedules, and scale their business.

For a generation looking for more control in their careers, that combination—ownership with support, independence with structure—is exactly what’s resonating.

The next generation of franchise ownership is here. In Q2, 26.3% of the franchisees that Authority Brands signed were born in the 1990s or 2000s.

As younger entrepreneurs explore business ownership, franchising offers something many are looking for: a proven playbook, coaching, technology, and support.

Chief Development Officer Jordan Wilson was recently featured by Franchise Times, discussing how Authority Brands is attracting Gen Z franchise owners. Check out the article below.
