Rich and Gail Mithoff

Founders of Atlas Franchise Advisors

About Rich Mithoff

With a solid foundation in geography acquired through my bachelor's degree, I embarked on my professional journey in the field of GIS mapping. Transitioning into mortgage lending and later assuming the role of a sales manager at an internet marketing agency, I gained diverse experience. Yet, my genuine enthusiasm lies in the realm of business mapping. Since 2009, I have been deeply involved in collaborating with a multitude of thriving franchise brands. My primary focus has been assisting these franchises in identifying the optimal territories for their candidates, a role I've undertaken with dedication and expertise. Serving as a franchise consultant, my extensive background equips me to successfully match our clients with the most suitable franchise opportunities, ensuring their future success.

About Gail Mithoff

After completing my bachelor's and master's degrees in education, I dedicated over two decades to elementary education. As time went on, the limitations of the educational field prompted me to seek more control and flexibility in my career. I decided to leave education and obtained my personal lines insurance license, then worked in the insurance industry. My meticulous attention to detail and strong organizational abilities enable me to effectively engage with my franchise clients and support them throughout the process.

Feedback & Testimonials

    Franchise Client

    Rich and Gail Mithoff are some of the most genuine, upstanding I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Initially, I was concerned that an advisor may try to nudge me into a deal that I was uncomfortable or unprepared for; Rich and Gail at Atlas Franchise Advisors completely changed my mind through their actions. They were honest, did not withhold information, did not sugar-coat things, and spoke their professional opinion, even if that meant and they don’t capitalize on that specific deal. They truly want to see you succeed and will go over and beyond to make that happen.

      On top of working with a great portfolio of franchises, Rich really took the time to understand my goals and values to present only the best options for me. He was engaged in the entire process and never pressured me to move at a speed faster than I was comfortable with. I couldn’t be happier with the Atlas Franchise Advisors partnership.
