## Story

ORLANDO, Fla. — Buddy's Home Furnishings has awarded Brian Landau with three locations set to open over the next four years in Miami, Florida. This agreement marks Buddy's first locations in Miami.

Landau is originally from Venezuela and has lived in Miami for most of his life. He comes from a long line of entrepreneurs and plans to involve his brother in the business. In recent years, Landau started and sold a sports cards collectable business and three ice cream shops in Miami.

“After selling my businesses, I sought to invest in a concept that will be successful, but more importantly, successful long term,” said Landau. “Buddy's exceeded what I was looking for in the best way. I was drawn to its leadership team, proven business model and support network that will allow me to penetrate a new market in an otherwise saturated state.”

Landau knows firsthand the opportunity that lies ahead for his stores. “I've witnessed Miami become an increasingly dense and expensive place to live,” said Landau. “There is an incredible opportunity to reach residents of all socioeconomic statuses seeking affordable, name-brand home necessities and to stand out from our competitors by offering best-in-class customer service.”

“We're excited to welcome Brian as a multi-unit franchise owner,” said Mitchell Lee, Senior Director of Franchise Development for Buddy's. “He has sharp business instincts and knows this market like the back of his hand. We look forward to supporting him as he opens these stores and serves new customers in the state.”
