Mobility Franchise Opportunities in Massachusetts
More than 1.3 million Massachusetts residents are 65 or older. Open territory remains across Worcester, Plymouth, Springfield, Cape Cod, MetroWest, and Fall River. 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 Massachusetts
Massachusetts is home to about 7.15 million people. Residents 65 and older make up about 18.7% of the state — roughly 1.34 million people in 2024 — and about 1.66 million residents are 60 or older. That 65-plus share is expected to approach 21% by 2030. This is not a small aging-in-place market. It is national-scale demand sitting on top of Mass General Brigham, UMass Memorial, Baystate, and Cape Cod Healthcare.
About 18.6% of adults 65 and older report ambulatory difficulty — serious trouble walking or climbing stairs. Community rates run far higher in Fall River, Lawrence, Lynn, and parts of Springfield. Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injury among older adults. State guidance has framed the weekly burden as hundreds of emergency visits and hospitalizations. 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 Worcester County, the South Shore, Springfield, Cape Cod, and Bristol County. The showroom meets customers who need scooters, power chairs, and lifts in higher-traffic corridors. Priority awards should land in Worcester, Plymouth and the South Shore, Springfield, Cape Cod, Framingham and MetroWest, and Fall River. 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 Massachusetts
Candidates evaluating a Mobility Plus franchise in Massachusetts 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
Multi-level New England homes across Worcester, the South Shore, MetroWest, and the Cape create ongoing need for stairlifts and vertical platform lifts.
Mobility Scooters & Power Chairs
Massachusetts seniors stay connected to town, church, and the coast. Scooters and power wheelchairs are core showroom products.
Wheelchair Ramps & Modular Access
Porch steps, split 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
About 244,000 Massachusetts veterans and VA care in Boston, Bedford, and Northampton open pathways for franchisees authorized to supply stairlifts, ramps, platform lifts, and bathroom safety solutions.
Why Massachusetts Works for Mobility Plus Franchises
National-Scale Senior Demand
More than 1.3 million residents are 65 or older and about 1.66 million are 60-plus. That is a long runway for a showroom and home-services business.
Hospital Systems That Refer
Mass General Brigham, UMass Memorial, Baystate, Cape Cod Healthcare, and South Shore Health create discharge volume that Plains states cannot match.
Two Customer Economies
MetroWest and the Cape support premium tickets. Worcester, Springfield, and Fall River support volume. One brand can serve both boards.
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.
Distinct Trade Areas Still Open
Worcester is not Springfield. Plymouth is not Hyannis. These are separate economic boards, with Boston proper treated as overlay rather than a first storefront.
The Mobility Plus Model in Massachusetts
New franchisees operate two verticals under one roof. That combination fits Massachusetts well: Worcester, Framingham, and Plymouth support a visible showroom, while Springfield, Cape Cod, and Fall River 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.
