Strength in numbers. This is the concept behind a strong franchise organization. As part of the King Bear franchise system, you will benefit from an organized and professional advertising campaign. Operating on an advertising budget in excess of $750,000, King Bear continues to be one of New York area's largest advertisers in the automotive aftermarket, utilizing an efficient and strategic combination of regional and local media. This approach allows us to give our franchise owners broad-based name recognition, while maintaining their own local identity. Combined with our mass purchasing power, attractive co-op advertising programs and the King Bear support network, Franchisees benefit from a much stronger market position than a local, independent repair shop. In an advertising-driven business, King Bear's name recognition and its nation corporate affiliations give our franchise owners the ability to satisfy a wide variety of consumer needs to extremely competitive prices, while operating their businesses in a very cost-efficient manner.
