About Next Brands

Next Brands is a family-owned business founded by serial entrepreneur, Mitch Rosen. In 2008, as Mitch and his college roommate and business partner built a construction franchise brand to 200 units, two things happened – they learned a lot about franchising and realized all these locations needed lots of facility maintenance. They developed a facility maintenance business, which became SFV Services, a construction and project management company. SFV Services then formed Next Brands in 2021 to be a strategic manager and accelerator of franchise brands leveraging the countless lessons learned for more than a decade on how to properly franchise a business – the support, systems, and values needed in place to be successful. Next Brands offers multiple brand franchising opportunities in the quick service industry with Beef-a-Roo,  a famously delicious affordable beef and burger franchise, and Blenderz, a fun retro vibe acai and smoothie bar. Today, with a seasoned leadership team comprised of individuals with decades of experience in construction, business development, franchise development, franchise operations, and design, Next Brands aims to bring impact-focused food brands to more local communities.
