They plan to make a positive impact on their community by offering reliable and trusted home services, especially for seniors.&nbsp;With Brandon’s extensive background in senior care and Becky’s experience managing their household, the couple is well-prepared to provide essential handyman services for their neighbors. As they launch their&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue franchise</a>, they look forward to combining their skills to not only grow their business, but also serve the local community with integrity and professionalism. 1851 Franchise spoke with the Wrights to learn more about their background, what drew them to the brand and more.&nbsp;1851 Franchise: Frame your personal story for us. What did you do before franchising, and how did you decide franchising made sense for you?Brandon Wright: I’ve had quite a varied career. I’ve been a mechanic in the Air Force, worked in medical sales, was a certified senior advisor and I have been involved in the senior care industry for over 19 years. When COVID hit, I moved into the restoration and roofing industries, but I knew I eventually wanted to run my own business. With my background in senior care, I knew there was a real need for a handyman service geared toward seniors, so when I connected with the TruBlue team, the opportunity to buy the Fort Collins territory felt like the perfect fit.Becky Wright:&nbsp;Brandon’s always been handy, and I have two degrees in addition to having been a stay-at-home mom for the past nine years, managing our household. It made sense for us to team up on this business.1851: What was your perception of franchising prior to becoming a franchisee, and what do you want people to know about franchising now that you’re in it?Brandon:&nbsp;My advice is simple: don’t reinvent the wheel. If you look at a successful business model and do your research, franchising can be a great way to get into business. Coming from the senior care world, I knew the market was growing, especially with the Baby Boomer generation aging. Franchising allowed me to tap into that need with a proven model.Becky:&nbsp;With franchising, a lot of the infrastructure is already in place — from trademarks and marketing to operations and public relations. That makes it easier for us to focus on running the business.1851: What made you pick this brand? What excites you most about this company?Brandon: One of the things that really stood out to me was my connection with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeoffrey-sloan/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=air-force-veteran-and-family-find-perfect-fit-with-trublue-franchise-in-fort-collins-colorado-2727551" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Jeff Sloan</a>, the TruBlue franchisee in our area. We’re both Air Force veterans, and we hit it off right away. Knowing that I’d be working alongside someone like Jeff, who has a great understanding of the business, made me confident that TruBlue was the right choice. Why look at other brands when you have a successful model and someone you trust as a mentor?1851: What do you hope to achieve with your business? What are your plans for growth?Brandon:&nbsp;Our goal is to grow to the point where we can maintain five to six employees. It’s more important to me to build a loyal clientele who trust us for good work than to try and grow too fast. I want this to be my retirement plan, something of real value that we can pass on.Becky:&nbsp;There’s definitely a lot of room for growth around here — the need for these services in Colorado is huge, and we’re excited to be a part of it.1851: What’s the one thing about your story you want us to know?Brandon:&nbsp;In addition to running the business, I’m also a pilot and a licensed insurance agent. We’re bringing a lot of diverse skills to the table.1851: What advice do you have for others thinking about becoming a franchise owner?Brandon:&nbsp;Talk to other franchisees, get a feel for what their day-to-day lives look like and make sure it’s the right fit for you. You need to do your homework and understand the industry before you jump in. Don’t go into a business you know nothing about — do the research.Becky:&nbsp;I’m still nervous, but sometimes you just have to take that leap of faith and trust your partner. TruBlue has made the process as easy as possible for us, and everything we need is already in place.The total investment necessary to begin operation of a TruBlue franchise ranges from $70,050 to $96,400. This includes $44,900 that must be paid to the franchisor or an affiliate.
