August 27, 2025 // Franchising.com // IRVINE, Calif. — Home Franchise Concepts, a subsidiary of JM Family Enterprises, is entering the back half of 2025 with remarkable momentum driven by the appointment of Corey Benish as President and CEO, a dynamic brand refresh, innovative operational initiatives, and national recognition across its portfolio of leading home service brands.
Benish, a seasoned leader with more than 25 years of experience in franchising, business, technology and operations, steps into the role following the June retirement of former President and CEO Andrew Skehan. Previously serving as Chief Operating Officer of Information Technology for JM Family Enterprises, Benish has built a career in transforming systems, driving operational efficiency and unlocking growth potential.
"I see an incredible future ahead for Home Franchise Concepts," said Benish. "We have the scale, the talent and the brand power to redefine what’s possible for home services and franchising. Our commitment to delivering an exceptional experience for every consumer fuels our ability to maintain strong brand standards across our franchise network. My focus will be on driving growth through innovation, expanding into high-opportunity markets, and ensuring every franchisee in our portfolio has the tools, resources, and support to thrive."
One of those tools is Home Franchise Concepts University (HFCU), the company’s new technology-driven learning platform designed to enhance training, streamline operations and accelerate onboarding and franchise growth across its family of brands. HFCU offers on-demand, interactive education that simplifies onboarding, upskills teams and delivers AI-powered, role-specific learning pathways. By standardizing learning and providing automated tracking, HFCU ensures franchisees and their teams have the right training, tools, and resources to drive operational excellence and long-term success.
The leadership transition and operational advancements cap off a milestone-filled first half of the year, including a comprehensive brand refresh unveiled at the 2025 International Franchise Association (IFA) Convention. Rooted in the company’s tagline, “Building Futures Together,” the new identity reflects its people-first culture while reinforcing its role as a leader in home services that provides a pathway for entrepreneurs seeking financial independence and business ownership.
Adding to the excitement, Home Franchise Concepts’ brands have captured prestigious industry accolades and growth milestones across multiple categories:
"The first half of 2025 has been about building a strong foundation for the future," Benish added. "Now, it’s about taking bold steps to expand our reach, elevate our service and add to our rich history of franchisee success stories. I look forward to what we will achieve in the months and years to come."
