Entrepreneur proposes Miracle Method franchise at vacant Westfield Avenue property
Summary
An applicant outlined plans to open a Miracle Method refurbishing franchise at 5824 Westfield Avenue in Pennsauken, describing limited showroom use, 3–5 initial employees, Monday–Friday 9 a.m.–5 p.m. hours and off‑site work for most projects.
An applicant seeking to open a Miracle Method franchise at 5824 Westfield Avenue described the proposed use, staffing and operations to the Pennsauken Township Committee on Dec. 18.
The applicant said the location is in the P‑1 zone, currently vacant, and that proposed use would be primarily office and storage with a limited showroom to display samples. He identified himself during remarks as Dennis Herman Miller and described his background as a licensed mortgage loan officer and insurance agent who intends to operate the franchise locally.
The applicant said he expects to start with three to four employees and grow to four or five if business permits. He told the committee that most work would be performed off‑site in customers’ homes, that marketing would be primarily online (Google, Instagram, TikTok), and that deliveries would use a work vehicle rather than a larger box truck. He said the building is roughly 3,000 square feet and that the bulk of space would be used for storage and office operations.
Committee members asked about deliveries, loading access and traffic; the applicant said the property has rear access suitable for loading and that supplies would be moved from a work van into the building. One resident in the room said Miracle Method’s renovation price (the resident referenced a prior $30,000 kitchen job) made the franchise’s lower‑cost pitch appealing.
No formal licensing decision, special‑use permit or zoning waiver was recorded during the meeting; the presentation functioned as an applicant introduction and Q&A with committee members. Committee members and the mayor welcomed the prospect of a new local business.
