GarageExperts' new corporate locations to strengthen system

An established home services brand is opening its first company-owned locations with an eye toward supporting their franchisees better than ever.

This Tuesday, GarageExperts announced the opening of three corporate locations after nearly two decades as a leading franchisor. The brand, which provides garage improvement services, floor coatings, and organization solutions, will operate three units in Grapevine, Keller, and Denton, Texas, near corporate headquarters.

In addition to strengthening the brand in the key Dallas-Fort Worth market, those locations will help GarageExperts refine their in-field training, provide a testing ground for best practices before they’re rolled out system-wide, and create opportunities for better, more authentic marketing materials that can benefit the whole system.

“Opening our first corporate-owned territories in the Dallas-Fort Worth area gives us a stronger foundation for the entire GarageExperts franchise system,” said Mike Mushinski, President of GarageExperts. “By operating in our own backyard, we can stay closer to the day-to-day realities of the business and test new ideas in real time, then use those insights to better support our franchise owners across the country.”

GarageExperts has named Todd Paget, an experienced operations leader with decades of experience in the furniture and cabinetry industries, as Co-Owner and General Manager of the corporate territories. In that capacity, Paget will oversee both sales and installations.

The opening of these corporate locations is already creating new opportunities for GarageExperts franchisees. For example, the redrawing of the DFW territory map has allowed Doug and Sandra Eckhoff to step up as GarageExperts owners in North Dallas, Plano, and Frisco.

“After more than 30 years in customer service through restaurant operations and later supporting franchise owners in the home services space, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to build strong service businesses,” said Doug. “GarageExperts stood out because it combines a proven model with high-quality solutions in a category with increasing demand, while also aligning with my professional background. Sandra and I are confident in the opportunity ahead and we’re excited to grow the brand across the greater DFW area.”

As they continue to expand and experiment in the DFW area, GarageExperts is still seeking potential franchisees in Texas markets like Richardson, Rockwell, DeSoto, Midlothian, Mansfield, Burleson, and Weatherford.
