## Story

Prior to joining American Freight, Ukwuoma was the owner and CEO at Woodmoor Pharmacy and Medical Supply, Inc., a retail pharmacy business serving the Woodlawn Community in Baltimore, Maryland.

He said, “I was attracted to American Freight because it is a good fit for my strengths as a prior owner and operator of a retail business. The unit economics and semi-absentee nature of American Freight also solidified my decision to become a franchise owner.”

“Godfrey is a great partner to champion continued growth in Pennsylvania,” said Terry McGee, Vice President of Franchise Development at American Freight. “He shares in our desire to maintain excellence while scaling operations, which makes him a perfect fit for our program. We look forward to partnering with him in making this new location successful.”
