Ashburn couple goes all in on the world of franchising

Daryn Allday has a fitting last name – because this busy businessman and entrepreneur is on the go all day long.

Not only is he a husband and a father to three kids, but he also is the local franchisee for the Rush Bowls restaurant brand. He and his wife, Michelle, own the franchised açai bowl and smoothie shops in the Brambleton Town Center and the Ashbrook Commons shopping center, both in Ashburn.

The couple, who live in Willowsford, also own two local Hotworx fitness centers – also franchised – in Ashburn and South Riding.

With so many regional and national franchise brands coming into Loudoun County, Ashburn Magazine wanted to find out more about the pros and cons of life as a franchisee, so they rang up Allday for a chat.
