Combining Business and Heart: Maryland’s Newest Franchise Owners Invest in Senior Helpers

We are excited to announce the newest owners of Seniors Helpers: Patrick and Amanda Sullivan. With territory close to the brand’s headquarters, these Marylanders are ready to take the leap into entrepreneurship. 

Who Are Patrick and Amanda Sullivan?

Maryland residents Patrick and Amanda Sullivan are parents to an eight-year-old daughter and both have backgrounds working in the advertising agency space. Their joint venture into franchise ownership will allow Patrick to keep the fast-paced, creative job that he loves while Amanda spearheads opening the doors of their Senior Helpers franchise. Amanda is excited to create more freedom and flexibility for her family with this venture. 

Why Did the Sullivans Pursue Franchise Ownership?

Amanda enjoyed an incredible career working in the brand agency world, but she always wanted the next chapter of her professional life to take on a more mission-driven feel that found the sweet spot between the commercial and philanthropic worlds. The Sullivans saw franchise ownership as an opportunity to go into business for themselves – and when they connected with FranCoach’s Graham Chapman through a mutual friend, the pathway to doing so became much clearer. 

Throughout the Discovery Process, Graham introduced the couple to brands in a range of industries including home services, health and beauty, and senior care. Amanda’s abilities as a natural connector and relationship builder as well as her passion for giving back to her community ultimately drew her to Senior Helpers, where she fell in love with the brand’s mission as well as their highly skilled executive leadership team.

Why Will the Sullivans Make Great Franchise Owners?

With Graham Chapman’s help, the Sullivans vetted a few different franchise brands tailored to their unique goals, preferences, and strengths. Here is what Graham has to say about why Amanda and Patrick are sure to succeed: 

“I really enjoyed getting to know the Sullivans as people. As a couple, they balance each other’s strengths extremely well. Amanda’s drive, dedication, and sophistication as someone who has led high-level corporate teams to do great work over the years will no doubt help her shine here, too – she will lead her team at Senior Helpers to do great work in their community. I cannot wait to see the Sullivans succeed in building their legacy and creating a better life for themselves and their daughter. They are sure to set an incredible example for her that it is possible to go into business for yourself, but not by yourself, and do well by doing good.”

Why Did the Sullivans Choose Senior Helpers?

Senior Helpers is one of the leading brands in the senior care industry, offering a proven, highly scalable model that has helped many franchisees succeed – in a big way. The business pairs an opportunity to make a difference in the community with strong revenue potential and a long history of success.

Like the Sullivans themselves, Senior Helpers is headquartered in the Baltimore area – and Patrick and Amanda liked the proximity to the brand’s headquarters. Throughout the Discovery Process, Rob Cantrell supported the couple in learning more about Senior Helpers’ unique offerings. After attending a virtual Meet the Team Day, the Sullivans knew they had found their franchise home. Now, they cannot wait to make a tangible impact on their community and change the lives of older adults who want to age in place.
