## Story

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Gotcha Covered, has announced the opening of Gotcha Covered of Coastal Charleston. This marks the fifth location in South Carolina.

The new home-based center is owned and operated by Matthew Koster. With an emphasis on end-to-end consultations, this business will provide the best in soft and hard window treatments to homeowners in Charleston, Berkley and Dorchester counties. The center will offer a variety of blinds, draperies, smart solutions and much more.

“From our consultation services to the product we provide, we are a partner that homeowners and businesses can rely on when they need window treatment services. Matthew will continue that legacy by being an asset to the Charleston community, and we are excited to see his business thrive,” said Paul Linenberg, president of Gotcha Covered.

A veteran in the franchise industry, Koster owned and operated three Servpro franchises and a construction company for 15 years. He earned an M.B.A. in business management as well.

After deciding to sell his Servpro franchise, Kosler moved back home to South Carolina. Once he decided to look into franchise opportunities locally, he came across Gotcha Covered.

“I was searching for a franchise that offered flexibility and a work-life balance,” said Kosler. “Gotcha Covered has that and much more.”

Ultimately, Kosler said he wants to run his business like a mini franchise.
