Husband and Wife Build Franchise Relationship With Archadeck

on

Mark Salazar had experienced nothing but success in his life. Mark had been an Army officer, completed multiple engineering degrees, achieved a great corporate career that included several director level roles, and a happy marriage and family. However, Mark found himself at a crossroads professionally. The corporate world had become more difficult to sustain and while in search for another job, Mark and his wife Cinda began exploring franchise ownership opportunities.

The Salazars worked closely with the FranCoach team to create their ideal scenario of working side-by-side in a franchise together. The two vetted out several franchises, each providing potential, but ultimately only one combined their skill sets perfectly. The franchise vetting process coincided with Mark deciding his time in the corporate world needed to be a thing of the past. The only thing left was for the Salazars to attend Discovery Day.

Discovery Day solidified their belief that franchise ownership was their path, and Archadeck was the brand for them. Archadeck is the world’s largest custom design builder of custom decks, screened porches, open porches, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, hardscapes, and other outdoor living spaces. Archadeck, part of Outdoor Living Brands, loved the Salazars passion for building a huge business in the booming north Atlanta market.

Thanks also to FranCoach partner Guidant Financial who helped Mark and Cinda with their retirement roll-over to fund their Archadeck franchise.

Congrats to the Salazars, and please join us in wishing them the best of luck as they launch their new franchise.

“You have nothing to lose by having a conversation with FranCoach. Worst-case scenario, you discover you don’t want to touch this with a ten-foot pole. But best case, you figure out, hey this might be something for me and there are some possibilities here.”

Stephen, Arizona

“I remember when I first started exploring the idea of franchises and I found the Franchising 101 Podcast. I just got hooked. There were such good snippets of information and I started eating through them and listening to them all the time.”

Geoff, Pennsylvania

“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?”

George, Pennsylvania

“If you have questions, if you want answers, or if you’re not sure if it’s for you – there’s no reason not to reach out to FranCoach.”

Michael, Indiana
