Spectrum Home Services to Focus Expansion Efforts in Michigan After Ford Announcement

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 25, 2006 -- Spectrum Home Services, a national home services franchise specializing in the needs of seniors and busy homeowners announced today that they will focus expansion efforts in the State of Michigan. The announcement came on the heals of Ford Motor Companies restructuring plan which will close 14 plants and idle more than 30,000 workers and hit Michigan's economy especially hard.

Spectrum Home Services focus is on senior citizens and busy home owners with services that include, yard care, home making, handyman, and relocation assistance. The mission of Spectrum Home Services is to help clients maintain a clean, safe and healthy living environment.

SHS Franchising which owns the Spectrum Home Services concept has expansion plans for nearly 50 franchises through out the state over the next five years.

According to Jenny Nelson, CEO SHS Franchising, "we are very excited about our expansion into the State of Michigan. The Demographics for the state bode well for our future franchisees. Michigan has a rapidly growing aging population which will continue to increase as the baby boomers start entering the senior market."

According to Nelson, "We have approximately 50 territories available in this market. This represents an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to own their own business in a recession proof market. Also, because our concept offers many different services, we hire people in skilled and non-skilled disciplines such as handymen, Certified Nurses Aides, home cleaners, yard care specialists and laborers a practice which will have a positive impact on Michigan's economy."

Spectrum Home Services has been providing quality services to seniors and homeowners since it was founded in February 2000 by Anthony and Jenny Nelson of Salt Lake City, Utah. SHS Franchising began franchising the concept in early 2005 and has offices in the states of Utah, California, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
