After leaving the franchising consulting role in the early 1990's to pursue a career in consumer electronic repair shops, I have recently returned to the franchising business as a franchiser, and I am presently in the process of building long term relationships nationally with individuals who value customer service and commitment to a system in the consumer electronics field.

These individuals will have the following:
1. A successful consumer electronics service entity.
2. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
3. Good organizational and time management skills.
4. Able to impart industry knowledge and corporate systems to franchisees.

VRS Systems Inc. through expenditure of considerable money, time, and effort has created and developed a unique system of uniform methods, procedures, and marketing "service only" retail stores in the consumer electronics field. VRS Systems Inc. has developed trademarks under the trade name of "THE VIDEO RE-FIT SHOP" and registered an easily recognized logo with a predominant green, which suggests recycle. VRS Systems Inc. has a computer production program that was developed for our business and is copy written. We have developed a franchise agreement and an operations manual that is tailored towards our business.

This is a unique time in the consumer electronics service industry. Our services are becoming very much in demand, particularly with the proliferation of big box stores and the demise of "Ma and Pa" sales and service stores. Qualified television service technicians are getting older and their numbers are decreasing. It should also be noted that the largest consumer demands are for large screen televisions and as you know they fail and require service.

In Winnipeg I have five franchises of which three have consistent increases over the previous years sales because of their service delivery on televisions. They have more than made up for their declining VCR repair business.

As I previously stated, I am looking for entrepreneurial individuals that wish to expand their business into franchises and become "MASTER FRANCHISERS". I learned a valuable lesson while expanding from one store to multiple stores. The qualifications of store managers and staff in individual stores aside, the stores become more successful when people that have a vested interest in the store run the store. I therefore know that franchising is the path of expansion in this business.

If this concept interests you, VRS Systems Inc. will be responsible for the following:

1. Supply operations manual.
2. Supply pertinent franchise agreement.
3. Supply computer program.
4. Local and National advertising. (Percentage Negotiated)
5. Assist area Franchiser with marketing, store opening, and on going systems.
6. Assist Franchiser locating and qualifying prospective franchisees.

I look forward to talking to you about this "CHICKEN and HENHOUSE" concept of franchising. Please give me a call at
1-204-474-1531 or e-mail videor@mts.net. If you are not interested,
I would appreciate if you could take the time to contact me and
tell me why.

Thank you very much for your time.
