TL;DR
Closets by Design is expanding into Colorado Springs with a new location owned and operated by Brian and Erica Schipke. The husband-and-wife team will provide custom home organization solutions to the community.
With Colorado ranked among the top states for franchise growth this year, Closets by Design is expanding its presence in the state with a new location serving Colorado Springs. The addition marks continued growth for North America's leading custom storage and organization franchise, which is actively seeking qualified candidates to bring its custom home organization solutions to communities across the country.
The territory will be owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Brian and Erica Schipke, long-time Colorado Springs residents who will provide closet, garage, pantry and home organization solutions in Colorado Springs.
Prior to joining Closets by Design, Brian and Erica built careers in leadership, operations, and customer service. Brian spent years in Silicon Valley, where he developed an operational mindset and an interest in building effective solutions. Erica brings experience in customer experience and organizational management. They evaluated several franchise concepts before selecting Closets by Design.
“What really stood out to us was how well this business aligned with both of our strengths,” said Erica Schipke. “I enjoy the design and customer experience side, while Brian thrives in woodworking and team management. We’re both passionate about helping people improve their homes and daily lives, so this feels like a great first step into business ownership for us.”
Having lived in Colorado Springs since 1995, the couple is eager to build a business in the community they have called home for decades. Through their franchise, they hope to provide high-quality organization solutions and contribute to the area’s continued growth.
“Brian and Erica’s strong partnership and passion for serving their community make them an excellent addition to the Closets by Design system,” said Jerry Egner, President of Closets by Design. “We’re excited to support them as they bring our custom storage solutions to homeowners throughout Colorado Springs.”
The company provides custom storage and organization solutions and continues to develop its services and customer experience.
