FRANCHISEE TESTIMONIALS

We were drawn to Mobility City from the first presentation. The concept was very appealing to us, knowing we could help people in a unique way while also making a living. After learning more and meeting the owners, we were convinced. Since then, the process has gone well, including a lot a hand holding and hands-on demonstration during the training week. Thank you to the whole team at Mobility City.

After 25 years as a Police Officer serving the public, I began looking for a new way to serve where I could once again make a difference. Mobility City is that and so much more. The Company team has taken us in as family, and together we are making a difference in people’s lives every day.

I was sold on the vision of Mobility City from the beginning. I really liked that Mobility City was new a brand and I was going to be part of building something great. I also saw it as an opportunity to serve others while building a business for my family.

Diane & Vincent Baratta and their team are amazing! I started researching franchises over a year ago to determine the next chapter, and found that Mobility City was it. We will be able to help people with their mobility equipment, and earn a living doing it!
Frank Gazzolo / Mobility City of Dupage County
I have always been in a profession that helped people in one way or another but Mobility City offered a new and exciting adventure for me. It is extremely rewarding when I arrive at a home and people are so happy to see you and they are thankful because without you, they would be stuck on a couch or in bed or having to rely on someone to help them move around.
