## Story

Their locations in Charleston, Columbia and Lexington have been thriving after a busy year, tending to local Zika and West Nile concerns. According to COO Brian Garrison, the mosquito control service has targeted as many as five new locations in the area.

“The concept of commercial mosquito control has really taken off during the past five years, particularly in the Southeast,” said Garrison. “When we look at the Greenville-Spartanburg area, it’s a very attractive market for us because the cities are outdoor-oriented."

Right now, Mosquito Joe is seeking to partner with the right franchisee at the local level to help spur the brand's presence in Spartanburg and Greenville.
