Plato's Closet is a Retail clothing store franchise with the focus on buying and selling gently used young adult clothing helping make a positive impact on the environment while providing affordable clothing to our customer base. My Wife and I Purchased this Franchise Territory in 2016 with the understanding to build it together to the point it is successful at which time I would get back in the workforce leaving the operations to her and our staff. We are now at that point after 5 short years and I am looking to apply all that I have learned over the past 13 years by helping other Businesses, franchises and franchisees be successful at what they do.

DQ Retail Franchise Restaurant in the Quick Service Restaurant industry serving premium Soft serve and Grilled food items creating smiles and stories for all of our customers through excellent customer service and serving premium products.I Completed territory research and negotiations with the franchise and local developer, build the restaurant from bare site, executed a successful opening and grew our sales year over year leading the team two franchise sales awards in six years. Managing Daily operations of a High Volume QSR Restaurant in partnership with 2 managers 3 assistant mangers and 35 - 45 support staff gave me the experience and knowledge to be successful at everything I put my attention to. Graduating with a Degree in Business gives you the knowledge but the real learning was at the store level. I had to wear all hats from operational management, to human resources, becoming proficient in all areas such as payroll, recruitment, marketing , book keeping Inventory Control, and all AP AR functions.I have taken that experience and applied to my second franchise purchase and am now looking to help other succeed in their franchise opportunities.
