## Story

BrightStar Care announced today the acquisition of four new BrightStar Owned (BSO) locations. The latest four locations added to the BrightStar Owned umbrella are located in Arizona and South Carolina.

BrightStar Owned acquired these four locations from former BrightStar Care franchisees Andy Ray and Frank Sanders. Ray’s former offices are in Gilbert and Mesa Arizona, and Sanders in Greenville and Spartanburg, South Carolina. These acquisitions showcase how the BrightStar Owned program complements the franchise network so well. Ray recently shifted from franchise owner to Chief Operating Officer of BrightStar Care in this case. Sanders was able to sell his location to focus on other business ventures and aspects of his life.

“Ray and Sanders’ agencies truly delivered a higher standard of care within their communities and will be valuable additions to BrightStar Owned,” said Andrew Tarman, Senior Vice President of Operations at BrightStar Owned. “We are most excited to learn from the scale of these locations in Arizona and South Carolina. These agencies all function as well-oiled machines with streamlined back-office processes and unique skilled care offerings, making them prime locations for the BrightStar Owned platform.”
