Greg Westfall and Marco Casarin Celebrate One Year Anniversary with VaVia Franchise in The Lowcountry and Greater Savannah, GA Areas

VaVia (Italian for “it goes away”) has become a major player in the growing waste-removal industry with its proprietary technology, streamlined operations and an experienced leadership team backed by a combined 50-plus years of expertise in the waste, franchising and technology development industries. Now, the brand is celebrating one year serving the The Lowcountry and greater Savannah, GA areas.

The Lowcountry and Savannah locations opened in October of 2020 and is owned and operated by Hilton Head-based franchise partners Greg Westfall and Marco Casarin, who are excited to celebrate this milestone by continuing to bring VaVia’s uniquely tech-forward waste removal services to even more contractors, construction companies, renovators, remodelers, homeowners and more across The Lowcountry and greater Savannah areas.

Greg Westfall spent nearly half of his life working for a Japanese trading company. Now, the former strategic planning director is running a successful VaVia franchise. Westfall and his business partner, Marco Casarin, a former international medical devices professional, met while walking their dogs on the beach. The two businessmen joined forces and opened VaVia serving The Lowcountry and greater Savannah areas. After just one year the partner’s business is thriving in the local markets, and see tremendous growth potential. 

“Our goals are to continue to expand as we have seen impressive demand within The Lowcountry and Savannah markets. I have no idea how big we will get, but we want to keep growing,” stated Westfall.

The Lowcountry and Savannah locations are part of VaVia’s plan to sign 100 franchises in the next four or five years. By the end of 2021, VaVia hopes to have 14 units signed, and according to co-founder, COO and president Phillip Nappi, The Lowcountry and Savannah markets are particularly ripe for expansion.

“We're thrilled to continue bringing the VaVia brand to the communities of The Lowcountry and Savannah alongside Westfall and Casarin," said Nappi. "With construction projects in the markets increasing exponentially, 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 Westfall and Casarin will grow with the brand.

“Through our tech-forward approach and commitment to providing our customers with top tier service, we're confident that Westfall and Casarin will continue to grow in The Lowcountry and Savannah 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.”
