Mobility Franchise Opportunities in West Virginia
West Virginia 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 West Virginia
West Virginia combines a large senior share with healthcare infrastructure and housing that often favors aging-in-place modifications. The state is home to about 1.77 million people. Residents 65 and older make up 21.9% of the state—roughly 387,000 people, and seniors now outnumber children. About 34.1% of adults 65 and older fell in the past year. Owner-occupied housing sits at 74.9%, which favors in-home stairlifts, ramps, and bathroom safety work on steep lots and porch-step houses.
Major hospital systems across the state generate steady discharge referrals, including CAMC, WVU Medicine, Cabell Huntington, and Raleigh General. VA medical centers in Huntington, Clarksburg, and Beckley expand opportunities for authorized home accessibility work focused on stairlifts, ramps, platform lifts, and bathroom safety solutions.
One location already operates in Inwood, with six additional territories currently available in Charleston, Morgantown, Huntington, Parkersburg, Beckley, and Wheeling. 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.
