The owners of New Feet Store in Seal Beach, CA, specializing in arch supports, comfort shoes and related products, are looking to franchise their business in Southern California.

The company said it is included in the Franchise Registry, a national online
listing of franchise systems whose franchisees receive expedited loan
processing when applying for financial assistance through the Small
Business Administration (SBA).

Maria and Tod Beane are the co-owners of the New Feet Store at 2926
Westminster Avenue in Seal Beach, which has been in operation since
1997. They bought the store in 2007, and recently made the decision to
franchise.

“This is a great time to tap into the growing market for arch supports
and comfort shoes,” Maria Beane said. “According to the American College
of Foot and Ankle Orthopedics and Medicine, the average person will
walk over 80,000 miles in their lifetime, and 75 percent of Americans
will experience varying degrees of foot health problems at sometime in
their lives.”
