My story in the mobile screen industry began in 1995, at a pivotal moment in my career. With experience in trades like fencing, drywall, and general contracting, I knew I enjoyed hands-on work, but I wanted more than a physically demanding trade. I was looking for a business that combined my entrepreneurial spirit with tangible results.
That summer, I discovered The Screen Machine, a franchise system specializing in mobile screen services. After spending just a few hours on a ride-along with their sales representative – generating $700 in sales while crafting screen doors and window screens – I was hooked. I knew I had found my future.
As a franchisee, I quickly rose to the top, becoming the system's highest producer and earning Franchise of the Year in 1996. However, my success revealed the limitations of the franchise system I had joined. Despite reaching over $30,000 in monthly sales, I faced a lack of meaningful support and reinvestment from the franchise's leadership.
It became clear that my success needed to align with a company that prioritized its franchisees. Unfortunately, The Screen Machine eventually folded due to poor management, but the lessons I learned during that time have stayed with me.
CrossBreeze Screens was born out of those lessons and a commitment to do things differently. I built this franchise system to provide aspiring business owners with the resources, support, and mentorship I wished I had received. I sold my thriving service company to focus entirely on creating a franchise experience that empowers owner-operators to succeed.
At CrossBreeze Screens, you're not just buying a franchise; you're joining a system built by someone who understands both sides of the equation – franchisee and franchisor.
My goal is to provide you with the tools, training, and ongoing support to thrive in the high-demand mobile screen industry. With a focus on innovation, research, and development, I ensure that our franchisees stay ahead of industry trends and benefit from the latest advancements. Your success is my success, and I'm fully committed to helping you achieve your business goals.
At CrossBreeze Screens, we believe in building businesses that work for you. Join us, and let's create a future of shared success together.
Join the CrossBreeze Screens family and build a thriving business with our proven system.
