## Story

Mike Daly, a former U.S. Army Ranger and now Signal 88 Security franchisee, is expanding his operations to Orlando, which will create dozens of new local jobs.

While Daly said he plans to hire almost 50 workers this year, that could be just the start, judging by another location he has in Tampa. "In Tampa, we doubled our workforce almost every year," he said. "We have about 70 employees in Tampa."

Signal 88 has 170 locations throughout the U.S., with six locations in Florida. Daly said the brand is on the hunt for potential franchisees to open more.
