## Story

With an emphasis on end-to-end consultations, the new center provides the best in soft and hard window treatments to homeowners in Mt. Laurel and the surrounding areas by offering a variety of blinds, draperies, smart solutions and much more.

“Scott and Connor both have entrepreneurial spirits that will thrive within the Gotcha Covered family,” said Paul Linenberg, president of Gotcha Covered. “Our franchise culture is a wonderful fit for a father-son team, and I have no doubt their community is going to benefit from their passion and experience.”

With backgrounds in business and consumer goods, Scott and Connor Farkas say they’re looking forward to the freedom and flexibility a franchise will offer.

“I have experience as a small business owner, and I’m looking forward to taking my entrepreneurship to the next level,” Connor Farkas said. “I first approached my father years ago about how we should open a franchise together, but we wanted to wait until the right time. That time is now, and Gotcha Covered is the right opportunity.”

“My uncle and aunt owned a window treatment business, and I always remember my Aunt Ruth saying how she loved turning a blank window or wall into a work of art,” Scott Farkas said. “She made all the curtains and drapes herself. I enjoy imagining what customers envision their windows should look like and helping them realize that vision.”
