FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Limited Franchises Available for Unique NO SANDING Hardwood Floor Refinishing Business

ALPHARETTA, Georgia (August 7, 2007) – International Franchise Systems, Inc. (IFS) announced the official rollout of its national franchise offering for the Vivid Finish™ business model. Vivid Finish™ provides full service hardwood floor care, maintenance and refinishing specializing in the Vivid Revitalization™ SAME DAY - NO SANDING Process. Limited franchises are available in certain areas with unique earn before you pay options and mega-markets available to qualified individuals. Recognizing that hardwood floors comprises one of the fastest growing trends in the $300+ Billion home improvement industry, IFS spent the last 2 years developing the Vivid Finish™ model and operating the prototype. Vivid Finish™ specializes in the Vivid Revitalization™ SAME DAY - NO SANDING process for hardwood floor refinishing, designed to address the growing need for a more efficient, cost effective and customer friendly alternative for hardwood floor care, renewal and refinishing.

One of the biggest headaches consumers face in refinishing their hardwood floors is the dust caused by traditional sanding and buffing processes. Almost regardless of containment efforts made, fine particles prove difficult if not impossible to contain. Wood dust is not only a nuisance, but also poses health and safety hazards. Other challenges for homeowners and businesses faced with refinishing their hardwood floors include extended displacement and the direct and indirect costs associated with the project, temporary lodgings, loss of business and clean-up.

The Vivid Revitalization™ SAME DAY - NO SANDING technology offers residential and commercial customers alike an unparalleled solution for maintaining beautiful hardwood floors through a unique balance of chemical and mechanical deep cleaning and abrasion with environmentally friendly and safe water based products and state-of-the art equipment, coupled with our proprietary bonding agent and industry leading Vivid Finish™ XL in the sheen of choice.

With the Vivid Revitalization™ customers can add beauty and durability to their hardwood floors with a higher degree of safety and convenience than offered by traditional means of refinishing; plus the added bonus of being back on their floors in hours not days, which can be priceless, all for about half the cost of sanding.
