## Story

There are many franchised concepts that are looking to make their way onto the scene in Nashville. Mosquito Joe is one of those concepts that has become enamored with the city as a spot for their company.

According to Crain's Nashville, Mosquito Joe already has a location on the city's south side. But CEO Kevin Wilson says they are looking to add at least two more locations in Nashville.

"I love Nashville,” Wilson told Crain’s Nashville. “On a personal note, I think it's a vibrant, wonderful place. From a business point of view, you have a lot of people moving there. It's a really robust economy. We just think that Nashville works because it has a longer season, lots of trees, water and all the right conditions to make it a great opportunity for someone.”

In total, Mosquito Joe hopes to open 60 more outposts throughout the nation this year.
