A Dedicated Mother Starts Serving Up Snacks with Her Son

We are excited to announce the newest owner of Naturals2Go: Ruth Garnace. 

Ruth currently works as a quality assurance engineer for a well-known mutual fund company in the greater Philadelphia area, but she recently decided to explore some franchise ownership opportunities with our team. But there was one catch: She needed a business that not only worked for her but also her family. 

We think she found exactly that, and we can’t wait to see her get started!

Why Did Ruth Garnace Make a Career Change?

Ruth first started considering a career change for a variety of reasons, including one that we hear from virtually every entrepreneur we work with: She wanted more freedom, flexibility, and control of her finances, her time, and her life in general. 

But Ruth was also interested in starting a business that would provide an opportunity for her high-functioning autistic son, Elijah. She wanted him to have the ability to grow individually, meaningfully contribute to the business, and give back to the local community. 

So, she reached out to FranCoach, and we started helping her find the perfect solution for her needs.

Why Will Ruth Garnace Make a Great Franchise Owner?

Ruth’s intelligence and impressive work ethic are sure to serve her well in this new venture. And when you combine that with her dedication to her son, we’re certain she’s going to achieve great things.  

Franchise coach Scott Hoots certainly thinks so, explaining that “Ruth was a pleasure to work with because of her obvious love of family and commitment to the well being of her son, Eli. She was keenly focused from the very beginning and committed to moving quickly to get launched.”

Naturals2Go representative Bryan Butterstein also appreciated Ruth’s commitment to her kiddo, noting that “We were impressed with Ruth’s mission, she was looking for a business she could run with her high functioning autistic son Elijah. Unattended retail (Vending) was the perfect fit. She was looking for something the whole family could do. Her main reason was that she wanted Elijah to have work that was meaningful and stable.”

Why Did Ruth Garnace Choose Naturals2Go?

It didn’t take long for Ruth to realize that Naturals2Go was a perfect fit for her and her son. And once she had, she flew through the rest of the process at warp speed. As Bryan notes, “From our 1st conversation to signing the agreement was only 14 days!” 

But aside from Naturals2Go being a good fit for her son, Ruth was also excited about the growth potential the brand offers. As Bryan explains, “She is starting off with 5 machines and plans to expand over the next several years to 20+ machines. She is excited and eager to create a food and beverage experience in her community while partnering with the N2Go. Her Pathway to entrepreneurship has just begun!”

As the longest-running vending machine company in the U.S. and the most-awarded business opportunity by the vending and franchise industries, Naturals2Go is “Elevating snacking through innovative solutions and exceptional customer service.” Determined to set the global standard for unattended retail solutions, the brand provides state-of-the-art equipment and services to its 18,000 machine owners spread across the country.
