A Manhattan lawyer and private equity investor,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-walters-89b2301/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-vavia-franchise-owner-is-establishing-multi-territory-presence-in-tampa-2720227" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Greg Walters</a>, is well-versed in what it takes to buy a company. So as the years went by and his interest in expanding his career portfolio peaked, he began looking at business ownership opportunities. That’s when Walters discovered franchising with&nbsp;<a href="https://ownavavia.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-vavia-franchise-owner-is-establishing-multi-territory-presence-in-tampa-2720227" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">VaVia</a>, an emerging dumpster rental franchise.&nbsp;“For the last several years, I’ve been looking into different acquisitions that would provide a nice income,” said Walters. “I never thought about franchising before but saw the positives pretty quickly. I’m a huge fan of entrepreneurship, and franchising is a bit of a shortcut.”Within one day of discovering&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/vavia/">VaVia</a>’s franchise opportunity, Walters inquired with the brand for more information. He spent time talking with the executives and other franchise owners and getting to know the business.&nbsp;“After attending a Discovery Day, I&nbsp;saw the efficient way that VaVia works and just knew it was the right fit,” he said.&nbsp;“A franchise is a great pathway to business ownership, and opening a VaVia allows me to be in business for myself but have a support system behind me that truly knows the industry.”Walters has signed on with the company to operate four territories in the Tampa, Florida market. VaVia has been targeting areas of the Sunshine State, and Walters had analyzed different markets and knew there was great potential there.&nbsp;The state has experienced a significant boom in the construction and demolition market, which VaVia dutifully serves. Especially now, after the massive destruction caused by Hurricane Ian, there is a considerable need for a dumpster rental service for cleanup efforts.“I am thrilled to be in Tampa and see what opportunities there are. One thing I love about being in the Florida market is the component of being able to help those affected by hurricanes,” said Walters. He lives in Connecticut but said Florida’s economics are “more compelling” in terms of population and business growth.Walters’ VaVia business will open before the end of the year. He is excited to grow the brand’s presence in the area and become a staple in the community.&nbsp;“The team at VaVia is thrilled to have a driven and knowledgeable professional like Greg join our franchise network,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/phillip-nappi-a5411719?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-vavia-franchise-owner-is-establishing-multi-territory-presence-in-tampa-2720227" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Phillip Nappi</a>, VaVia president and CEO. “He has a true grit and passion for success that we are excited to see in action in Tampa, and we know he will be a great addition to our system.”The total cost to invest in VaVia ranges from $121,693 to $419,323 per territory.
