“Even then, I enjoyed the type of creative work and products we produced for our customers. The franchise support stood out then, and I knew it was a great network to be a part of,” said Patrick Daugherty. “After retiring from the Air Force, I reached out about becoming a franchisee and realized the tremendous growth that had occured while I was serving. The growth along with the franchise support and efficient workflow were what sold us.”
