Get Inspired by Emily
* “The way that we found franchising was a bit of an accident. We weren't necessarily looking to start a franchise, we were just interested in business ownership.”
* “We really liked the idea of starting a business that had a really good template for us and a lot of the kinks worked out, best practices figured out.”
* “We were really looking for something that we could include our whole family, kids included. So that kind of narrowed down the options with franchises that primarily dealt with children.”
* “We wanted to do something that people could value. Something that was of the highest quality and that would really give back to the community.”
* “That has definitely been one of the bigger challenges - just that belief that, I'm capable of doing this. The whole thing is kind of a leap of faith.”
* “After Discovery Day, we didn't have the “Yes, this is it,” feeling. It was really, again, back to that that leap of faith. But, there was so much positive feedback about the program and the company culture. There are people that truly do care and that really mattered a lot to us.”
* “One of the reasons why we've always wanted to be business owners is to have that freedom to spend more time together as a family and to be the one to call the shots and say this is a family business.”
