Fresh Coat

Augusta, GA&nbsp;–&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/freshcoat">Fresh Coat Painters</a>, the residential and commercial painting franchise under the Strategic Franchising Systems umbrella, has revealed plans for a new location in Augusta, Georgia. The company continues to grow rapidly, with a goal of reaching 200 franchises by the end of 2023.“We are very bullish on growth and have made heavy investments in technology, leadership and support to ensure our franchisees can scale their business,” said Fresh Coat President&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tararileymba?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fresh-coat-painters-signs-agreement-for-new-location-in-augusta-georgia-continues-to-establish-itself-as-one-of-the-countys-most-iconic-painting-brands-2722793" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tara Riley</a>. “We continue to focus on franchise development and expect to pass the 200 mark by the end of the year. We know that means we have to find the right franchisees, help them grow profitable businesses and continue to expand our footprint.”<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewphughes/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fresh-coat-painters-signs-agreement-for-new-location-in-augusta-georgia-continues-to-establish-itself-as-one-of-the-countys-most-iconic-painting-brands-2722793" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Andrew Hughes </a>is the franchise owner behind the latest signing in Augusta.&nbsp;Tired of working in the corporate world as a mechanical engineer and leveraging some experience working in real estate on the side, Hughes’ journey to the brand began when he started searching for a customer-facing business that involved working directly with homeowners. Hughes found the perfect opportunity in the painting industry, which doesn't require years of apprenticeship like other trades.&nbsp;“We weighed the risk of the huge investment it would take to buy an existing business versus the smaller investment it would take to start our own franchise,”&nbsp;said Hughes. “We opted to start our own —&nbsp;there was less upfront cost, we wouldn’t owe anything to the bank and all the upside would be ours. We looked at several franchises and eventually settled on Fresh Coat. I really ran them through the ringer with all of my questions, and they met me every bit of the way.”The more Hughes looked into&nbsp;<a href="https://freshcoatfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fresh-coat-painters-signs-agreement-for-new-location-in-augusta-georgia-continues-to-establish-itself-as-one-of-the-countys-most-iconic-painting-brands-2722793" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Fresh Coat Painters</a>, the more he felt confident he would have a proven business model and supportive leadership team backing his entrepreneurial venture.&nbsp;“That was very attractive to me as I had never operated a full-fledged business,” Hughes said. “I knew it would be good to have a dedicated plan on paper. I just had to bring the energy to execute it. With every item on the checklist, there is a lot of guidance, and you are given a dedicated business coach to help answer any and all questions. As far as size of resources, Fresh Coat is well-established compared to the rest of the brands in the industry, and they have really catchy branding.”Now, with his new Fresh Coat franchise, Hughes aims to build a trustworthy local team that provides exceptional services at a fair price. His background in real estate and residential services, including flipping homes and acting as a landlord, has given him a unique perspective on what it means to be reliable in the market. He is excited to delight the homeowners in his community and embark on this next phase of his career.&nbsp;Fresh Coat offers entrepreneurs like Hughes an exceptional chance to utilize the brand's established and cost-effective business model to succeed in the flourishing painting sector. Franchise owners can keep expenses low without needing a physical location and can access multiple revenue sources, such as residential, commercial and national accounts, without additional fees.Franchise owners don't need to be painting experts or focus on creating something new — the team supplies the business model, reputable brand and support to help them thrive with Fresh Coat.Thanks to its tested business model and strong support system, Fresh Coat appeals to a diverse array of franchisees, including veterans, women and individuals from underrepresented communities, according to Riley. Franchise owners come from various industries and backgrounds, ranging from technology, consulting and education to manufacturing, construction, home improvement and state employment.All of these differentiators have helped the Fresh Coat brand expand to over 170 locations since starting in 2004. Looking ahead, Riley says this momentum shows no signs of slowing down.&nbsp;“At the end of the day, while we are proud of how fast we are growing, our goal is really to bring in the right people that fit within our system,” said Riley. “That is why we are so thrilled about our latest signing in Augusta and our partnership with Andrew. In five years, we want to be the number-one painting company in the U.S. We know that means we have to find the right franchisees, help them grow profitable businesses and continue to expand our footprint. Now, as we achieve those goals faster than ever, the time has never been better to join the Fresh Coat team.”Fresh Coat is currently looking for franchise partners in&nbsp;Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit<a href="https://1851franchise.com/freshcoat/info">&nbsp;https://1851franchise.com/freshcoat/info</a>ABOUT FRESH COAT PAINTERS:Fresh Coat Painters, the residential and commercial painting franchise under the Strategic Franchising Systems umbrella, offers a low-cost, high-margin business model that gives entrepreneurs from all walks of life the chance to become successful business owners in the communities they serve.
