76 FENCE Columbus Northwest, owned and operated by John Webb and Amy Shin, has celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony in Plain City, Ohio. The company serves homeowners and businesses throughout the Columbus Northwest region with residential and commercial fencing solutions.
Owned and operated by husband-and-wife team John Webb and Amy Shin, 76 FENCE Columbus Northwest serves homeowners and businesses throughout the Columbus Northwest region with residential and commercial fencing solutions, including wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain link, composite, and custom installations.
The celebration marked the culmination of months of planning and preparation as Webb and Shin combined their decades of experience in business operations, human resources, finance, marketing, and process improvement to establish a company focused on delivering a higher standard of professionalism and customer service within the fencing industry.
"This was an incredibly meaningful day for our family," said Webb. "Amy and I have spent our careers building businesses and serving customers, and launching 76 FENCE Columbus Northwest represents an opportunity to bring everything we've learned together into a new home services business. We're grateful for the support we've received from the community and excited to begin serving homeowners and businesses throughout Central Ohio."
Guests gathered at the company's headquarters for remarks from the ownership team and representatives of the Union County Chamber of Commerce before participating in the ceremonial ribbon cutting. The event also featured networking opportunities, refreshments, and tours of the facility.
"For us, this business is about much more than fencing," said Shin. "It's about building something together as a family and creating an experience customers can trust. We want every interaction to reflect the values that are important to us—clear communication, reliability, professionalism, and treating people the right way. We're proud to be investing in a community that has given us so much over the years."
Union County Chamber of Commerce representatives welcomed the company to the local business community and recognized the importance of supporting locally owned businesses that contribute to the region's continued growth and economic development.
"John and Amy exemplify the entrepreneurial spirit that helps our communities thrive," said Tonya Woodruff, Director of the Union County Chamber of Commerce. "Their commitment to professionalism, customer service, and community involvement was evident from the moment they began engaging with the Chamber. We are excited to welcome 76 FENCE Columbus Northwest and look forward to supporting their continued success in Union County and throughout the region."
The Columbus Northwest territory serves communities throughout Central and Western Ohio, including Columbus, Delaware, Dublin, Lewis Center, Marion, Marysville, Plain City, Powell, Springfield, Urbana, and surrounding areas.
"We are proud to have John and Amy representing the 76 FENCE brand in Central Ohio," said Ed Samane, CEO of 76 FENCE. "Their combined business experience, strong values, and deep ties to the community make them outstanding franchise owners. They are building the type of business that customers want to work with and communities are proud to support."
