All Things Considered Franchising Podcast: Scotty Milas & Brandon Campbell of Image Studios

In this episode of All Things Considered Franchising, host Scotty Milas welcomes back Brandon Campbell, Senior Development Executive at Image Studios, to discuss the explosive growth and unique business model behind one of franchising’s most innovative brands.

Brandon shares how Image Studios has expanded from a handful of locations to over 350 signed agreements and more than 120 open nationwide, all while maintaining its strong culture, proactive support, and founder-led vision. He explains why the salon suite model is so appealing to investors: no employees, no inventory, recurring weekly revenue, and a real estate-backed business that’s truly recession resistant.

Scotty and Brandon also explore how private equity has strengthened the brand’s growth strategy without changing its values, why many franchisees are reinvesting in additional units, and what it takes to succeed in a semi-absentee, relationship-driven model.

Whether you’re an investor drawn to real estate opportunities or simply curious about what makes Image Studios stand out, this episode offers a powerful look at a modern, lifestyle-focused approach to franchising.
