San Antonio, get ready for an elevated, modern waste removal experience. <a href="https://www.govavia.com/franchise-with-us/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-year-army-veteran-and-wife-sign-to-open-four-vavia-territories-in-san-antonio-2717317" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">VaVia</a> (Italian for “it goes away”) has become the premier player in the growing waste-removal industry with its proprietary technology, streamlined operations and a leadership team backed by a combined 50-plus years of experience in the waste, franchising and technology development industries. And now, the brand has come to San Antonio.This summer, the Wrights began offering VaVia’s&nbsp;reliable services and proprietary technology that allows customers to order and schedule deliveries or pick ups of dumpsters online.The new location will be owned and operated by&nbsp;San Antonio residents Mike and Molly Wright, who are excited to introduce VaVia’s uniquely tech-forward waste removal services to contractors, construction companies, renovators, remodelers and more across San Antonio.After 25 years of commissioned service in the Army where Mike became an economics professor and Colonel in Italy, where he worked closely with NATO, and a short stint in government contracting, he and Molly decided it was time for a new adventure — becoming business owners. During their research, they came across&nbsp;<a href="https://www.govavia.com/franchise-with-us/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-year-army-veteran-and-wife-sign-to-open-four-vavia-territories-in-san-antonio-2717317" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">VaVia</a>, a commercial and residential dumpster rental service that, with the current labor shortage, wouldn’t require them to stress about hiring too many employees.“We were so excited about the concept that we bought four territories in the greater San Antonio market,” Mike said. “My background in the military lends itself well to running a business, and we know that the concept will be a huge success in San Antonio.”&nbsp;The new San Antonio location is part of VaVia’s plan to sign 100 franchises by 2026. By the end of 2021, VaVia hopes to have 14 units signed, and according to co-founder, COO and president <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/phillip-nappi-a5411719/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-year-army-veteran-and-wife-sign-to-open-four-vavia-territories-in-san-antonio-2717317" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Phillip Nappi</a>, Texas is particularly ripe for expansion.“We're thrilled to bring the VaVia brand to the community of San Antonio alongside Mike and Molly Wright," said Nappi. "With construction projects in San Antonio increasing significantly, demand for our waste removal services is at an all-time high.”As the franchise embarks on its ambitious expansion efforts, CEO Tim Wells says he is confident that franchisees like the Wrights will grow with the brand.“Through our tech-forward approach and commitment to providing our customers with top tier service, we're confident that Mike and Molly Wright will continue to grow in San Antonio as VaVia continues to expand through its franchise ownership opportunity across the country,” Wells said. “Our business is bringing a white glove service approach to the waste industry, particularly in the construction services segment. That level of commitment to customer service can’t be found anywhere else. Our model is also customer facing and designed to provide an ease of doing business that’s otherwise lacking in the industry. We’re looking forward to entering Texas, introducing them to the VaVia brand and growing relationships within the community.”In addition to Wright’s recent opening, VaVia is looking for multi-unit franchise partners to operate additional territories throughout Texas.The total cost to invest in VaVia ranges from $117,150 to $365,050 per territory.
