Mobility Franchise Opportunities in Kansas
Kansas is aging in the house it already owns — from Johnson County wealth to Wichita volume. Open territory remains across Overland Park, Olathe, Wichita, Topeka, Lawrence, and Leavenworth. One locally owned business with a retail mobility showroom and a home-services team. A 10% veteran discount is available on the franchise fee.
The Opportunity for Mobility Franchises in Kansas
Kansas is home to about 2.98 million people. Growth is modest. Aging is not. Residents 65 and older make up about 17.8% to 17.9% of the state — roughly 528,000 people in 2024 — and that group has grown about 11.8% since 2020, faster than any other age bracket. Children under 18 declined over the same stretch. There are more households that need help at home and fewer young families replacing them.
About 6.4% of Kansans, or roughly 173,000 people, report ambulatory difficulty — serious trouble walking or climbing stairs. Falls make that number operational. In 2024, older Kansans accounted for 445 fall deaths, 7,690 fall-related hospitalizations, and 30,180 fall-related emergency visits. Johnson County alone recorded 8,741 fall-related ED visits among adults 65 and older. Families facing those numbers choose stairlifts, ramps, platform lifts, and safer bathrooms instead of a facility move.
That mix supports both verticals under one roof. The home-services team meets homeowners who want to age in place across Johnson County suburbs, Wichita, Topeka, and 105 counties of rural overlay. The showroom meets customers who need scooters, power chairs, and lifts to stay connected to church, work, and town. Priority awards should land in Overland Park and Olathe, Shawnee and Lenexa, Wichita and Andover, Topeka, Lawrence, and Leavenworth. 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 Kansas
Candidates evaluating a Mobility Plus franchise in Kansas 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 entries, basements, and multi-level homes in Johnson County, Wichita, and Topeka create ongoing need for stairlifts and vertical platform lifts.
Mobility Scooters & Power Chairs
Kansas seniors stay connected to town, church, and family. Scooters and power wheelchairs are core showroom products.
Wheelchair Ramps & Modular Access
Porch steps, ranch entries, and winter ice make modular and portable ramps a year-round product. 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.
Vehicle Lifts, Lift Chairs & Rentals
Vehicle lifts, lift chairs, and short-term rentals round out the retail offering for customers who want independence at home and in the community.
VA Home Accessibility Solutions
Leavenworth, Fort Riley, and Wichita VA pathways open opportunities for franchisees authorized to supply stairlifts, ramps, platform lifts, and bathroom safety solutions.
Why Kansas Works for Mobility Plus Franchises
A Fast-Growing Senior Base
Kansas 65-plus population is up about 12% since 2020 while the under-18 population declined. That is a long runway for a showroom and home-services business.
Two Customer Economies
Johnson County brings high household incomes and hospital density. Wichita and Topeka bring volume and affordable housing. One brand can serve both boards.
Falls That Create Referrals
Tens of thousands of older-adult fall ED visits a year, including more than 8,700 in Johnson County alone in 2024, feed stairlift, ramp, and bathroom work after discharge.
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 — including rural overlay as service radius.
Distinct Trade Areas Still Open
Overland Park is not Wichita. Topeka is not Lawrence. These are separate economic boards, with western counties attached as service radius rather than extra storefronts.
The Mobility Plus Model in Kansas
New franchisees operate two verticals under one roof. That combination fits Kansas well: Johnson County and east Wichita support a visible showroom, while Topeka, Lawrence, Leavenworth, and rural overlay support in-home installations.
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.
