Mobility Franchise Opportunities in Ohio
Ohio has multiple 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 growing senior population, major healthcare systems, and VA facilities. A 10% veteran discount is available on the franchise fee.
The Opportunity for Mobility Franchises in Ohio
Ohio combines a large and aging population with strong healthcare infrastructure and housing that often favors aging-in-place modifications. The state is home to about 11.9 million people. Residents 65 and older make up 19.1% of the state—roughly 2.27 million people. Disability reaches 23.3% at ages 65–74 and 44.2% at 75 and older. In 2023, 1,914 Ohioans age 65 and older died after an unintentional fall, an 11% increase from 2022. Older adults account for 90% of fall deaths in the state.
Major hospital systems across the state generate steady discharge referrals, including OhioHealth, Kettering, Promedica, Aultman, and Mercy Health. VA medical centers in Columbus, Dayton, Cleveland, and Cincinnati expand opportunities for authorized home accessibility work focused on stairlifts, ramps, platform lifts, and bathroom safety solutions.
Four locations already operate in Cincinnati East, Northfield, Parkman, and Solon, with six additional territories currently available in Dublin, Dayton, Toledo, Canton, Youngstown, and Mansfield. Candidates choose a market that matches their background and goals — not a separate brand. Every new Mobility Plus franchise includes both the showroom and home-services verticals. Honorably discharged veterans may qualify for a 10% discount on the $60,000 franchise fee.

Mobility & Home Accessibility Products in Demand Across Ohio
Candidates evaluating a Mobility Plus franchise in Ohio 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
Two-story and split-level homes across Dublin, Dayton, and Toledo create ongoing need for stairlifts and vertical platform lifts.
Mobility Scooters & Power Chairs
Aging residents staying connected to church, the lake, and downtown drive demand for dependable scooters and power wheelchairs, including short-term rental options from the showroom.
Wheelchair Ramps & Modular Access
Porch steps and ice-season entries make modular aluminum and portable ramps a year-round need. 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, vehicle lifts, and complementary products round out the retail offering and support customers who want to remain independent at home.
VA Home Accessibility Solutions
Columbus, Dayton, Cleveland, and Cincinnati VAMCs open pathways for franchisees authorized to supply stairlifts, ramps, platform lifts, and bathroom safety solutions to eligible veterans.
Why Ohio Works for Mobility Plus Franchises
Growing Senior Population

The Mobility Plus Model in Ohio
New franchisees operate two verticals under one roof. That combination fits Ohio well: two-story and split-level housing supports in-home installations, while metro 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.
