“The reason I bought an existing franchise versus a starting from scratch is simple…there was a customer base there. That provided a great revenue opportunity right out of the gate. In fact the day that we opened, the day we signed the contract, turned the phones on and they started ringing! So we picked up a lot of service revenue right out of the gate it kind of got me going and I knew that going in.”
