A True Family Affair: The Nicholsons Open TruBlue Home Service Ally in Olean, NY

on

FranCoach is proud to announce that J. and A. Nicholson are opening TruBlue Home Service Ally in Olean, New York. And they’re doing it together, with their daughter joining as a co-owner.

Building Something Together

The Nicholsons were looking for a business the whole family could run side by side. Mr. Nicholson has spent his career as a case worker, and their daughter is finishing college. They wanted more than a paycheck. They wanted a service that makes a real difference in their community.

Why TruBlue

TruBlue checked every box. It’s a full-service handyman business with a unique focus on seniors. Teams make home modifications that keep older adults safe, and take on the projects many seniors can no longer do themselves.

TruBlue doesn’t stop there. It handles projects for homes and businesses of every kind, so the Nicholsons can be Olean’s trusted one-stop shop for home needs.

“What a delightful family to work with. These are the type of people who have a knack for making others feel comfortable and good about themselves. They truly have a desire to help their community and make a meaningful impact. I am excited to watch them succeed as franchise owners.”

— Tim Parmeter, FranCoach

“The conversation we had, just on that first call, when you said, ‘Tell more about Ryan, what flips your switch, what gets you out of bed in the morning’… it was really important to me to know those things upfront.”

Ryan, Alabama

“One of the lessons that I learned very quickly was to focus on what is driving you as an individual. What makes you get up, and what do you want to get up and do every day?”
