“Franchise businesses can be very lucrative, even in a time of economic struggle,” said Nicole Goldman, founder of 'g'. “Green has gone mainstream, and it is hard to ignore the benefits and advantages for businesses to be leading the way. Market research indicates that by 2012, the green building market is expected to double to 12-20 percent of the current market share, or $40 to $70 billion.”

The green building sector shows even more growth during uncertain economic times. For homeowners, motivations include energy-efficiency, cost savings, increased durability and a higher quality product. Builders seek to benefit from reduced operating costs and optimized life-cycle performance. A trusted resource for environmentally sound products and information, ‘g’ Green Design provides customers with everything they need to make responsible choices. As a franchise, ‘g’ presents an unprecedented opportunity for individuals to combine environmental commitment with an entrepreneurial drive. ‘g’ is seeking those who are interested in sharing a vision of greater consciousness that values the environment and embraces the good of the community.
