Mobility Franchise Opportunities in Arkansas
Arkansas has strong markets for a Mobility Plus franchise — one locally owned business with a retail mobility showroom and a home-services team. Demand spans stairlifts, scooters, power chairs, ramps, and professional installations, supported by a 19% statewide 65-and-older share, high disability rates, and a clear preference for aging in place. A 10% veteran discount is available on the franchise fee.
The Opportunity for Mobility Franchises in Arkansas
Arkansas combines a rising senior population with housing that is rarely built for aging in place. In 2025, residents 65 and older made up 19.0% of the state — and that group grew 2.3% in a single year. Seventeen counties already have a senior share above 25%, clustered heavily in North Central Arkansas. Statewide, about 18.1% of civilians report a disability; more than half of people 75 and older do.
That mix supports both verticals under one roof. The home-services team meets families who want to stay in the house — stairlifts, ramps, vertical platform lifts, and fall-prevention work. The showroom meets customers who need devices to stay active in the community — scooters, power chairs, lifts, and accessories they can try before they buy.
Central Arkansas gives hospital density and volume. Northwest Arkansas gives growth and income. Hot Springs Village and the Ozarks give some of the highest senior concentrations in the country. Every new Mobility Plus franchise includes both verticals. Honorably discharged veterans may qualify for a 10% discount on the $60,000 franchise fee.

Mobility & Home Accessibility Products in Demand Across Arkansas
Candidates evaluating a Mobility Plus franchise in Arkansas should focus on the equipment and services families, discharge planners, and veterans request most often — from the showroom floor and in the home.
Stairlifts & Platform Lifts
Split-level and two-story homes across Central Arkansas, Hot Springs, and the Ozarks create ongoing need for stairlifts and vertical platform lifts.
Mobility Scooters & Power Chairs
Aging residents who want to stay connected to church, shopping, and community events drive demand for scooters and power wheelchairs — core showroom products.
Wheelchair Ramps & Modular Access
Modular and portable ramps help homeowners create safer entry after surgery or progressive mobility loss. Teams install in the field and sell or rent portable options from the store.
Bathroom Modifications & Grab Bars
Walk-in showers, grab bars, raised toilets, and related safety upgrades are commonly requested alongside larger accessibility installations.
Lift Chairs & Related Equipment
Lift chairs, specialized beds, and complementary products round out the retail offering and support customers who want to remain independent at home.
VA Home Accessibility Solutions
VA facilities in the Little Rock metro and clinics statewide open pathways for franchisees authorized to supply stairlifts, ramps, platform lifts, and bathroom safety solutions to eligible veterans.
Why Arkansas Works for Mobility Plus Franchises
A Growing Older Arkansas
The 65-and-older population is already 19% of the state and still rising. Hot Springs Village, Mountain Home, Baxter County, and Bella Vista give operators some of the densest senior pockets in the South.
High Disability and Mobility Need
Roughly 18% of Arkansans live with a disability. Among residents 75 and older, more than half report one. That is structural demand for devices and home modifications — not a short cycle.
Healthcare Referral Networks
UAMS and major systems in Little Rock, growing medical infrastructure in Northwest Arkansas, and regional hospitals in Fort Smith, Jonesboro, and Hot Springs generate discharge referrals for both equipment and installation services.
Two Verticals, One Local Brand
The showroom and home-services team operate under one roof, so owners can follow customers from the store floor into the home — and keep serving them through the full aging journey.
Lower Cost of Occupancy
Arkansas commercial rents and operating costs sit below national averages, which helps the showroom build and keeps field operations lean while you add vans and technicians.
The Mobility Plus Model in Arkansas
New franchisees operate two verticals under one roof. That combination fits Arkansas well: retrofit-heavy senior and rural markets support in-home installations, while Little Rock and Northwest Arkansas corridors support a visible showroom.
Retail Mobility Store
A branded showroom for the sales, service, and rental of scooters, power chairs, wheelchairs, lift chairs, specialized beds, vehicle lifts, and accessories.
Home Services
A mobile team for the sales, installation, service, and rental of stairlifts, modular ramps, vertical platform lifts, residential elevators, grab bars, and related fall-prevention solutions.
