## Story

Randy and Zachary state “I was very impressed with SB's approach to new partners, they were and continue to be very open about every aspect of the business. It was obvious that they look at all partners as assets and made it very clear that this is a family approach and that each store is equally important.” When asked why they wanted to become entrepreneurs, they explained “I believe an entrepreneur has the ability and resources to make their business run much smoother and efficiently as they see fit.”

They describe their experience with the corporate team as having “Openness and willing to help at all times.” When asked what excites them about Strickland Brothers and their new business they state “SB has obviously worked very hard on building a business template that gives each store owner the vision of success. Those values make it easy for a new store owner to be excited and expand without hesitation.

They are excited to join the corporate team and one other franchise owner in North Carolina.

CEO & Founder of the SB brand, Justin Strickland, goes on to say “Charlotte is a market we have had heavily on our radar for more than a year. When Randy and Zach came in for discovery day, we loved the intangible assets that they could contribute to the business. They have a lot of experience in areas we felt would help them be successful. The professionalism that runs through the Niessner family when it comes to operating a business is top notch. We are very excited to have them here in North Carolina with us and look forward to many successful years with them.”
