Pirtek CEO Glenn Duncan counts Wichita among the company&#8217;s key U.S. growth areas, and is targeting the opening of its first location in the market by the end of 2015.&#8220;We&#8217;re looking to fill the holes on our map,&#8221; Gwyn O&#8217;Kane, Pirtek&#8217;s vice president of franchise development, told The Wichita Business Journal. &#8220;We can show people a lot of successful owners.&#8221;Pirtek sets itself apart through its on-site service. Each franchise begins with three service vans, meaning technicians will be available to customers any time they need a repair. And the franchise model, which is supported by a growing staff at <a href="http://1851franchise.com/details/1277/Pirtek-franchise-comes-from-Down-Under-to-grow-its-American-market-" target="_blank">Pirtek USA</a>, allows for the owners to focus on growth in their own respective markets.&#8220;Our owners work on the business not in it,&#8221; O&#8217;Kane said.In Wichita, O&#8217;Kane says there is enough industry and a large enough metro-area population that the Air Capital is a hole on the map the company wants to fill soon.And there could be the potential for more growth. Pirtek won&#8217;t be on every street corner, but once the first store is opened and running successfully, Wichita could likely support another location.&#8220;You get one, and very often it leads to another,&#8221; O&#8217;Kane said.Click <a href="http://www.bizjournals.com/wichita/news/2015/06/12/industrial-service-company-pirtek-coming-to.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=wichita-business-journal-industrial-service-company-pirtek-coming-to-wichita-1854" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> to read the original story.
