He Accidentally Found The Key To Explosive Business Growth

Okay, so you've got an idea, because I think you and I were talking before that we see very successful franchises, I guess.

We think, I don't know, first thing that comes to my mind is we think like...

I don't Chick-fil-A McDonald's.

You look at Chick-fil-A that's producing seven times the amount of McDonald's is, but it's well ran.

And I'm like, is it any is it better chicken? I always joke and say it's healthy chicken,

but it's really not.

It's just it's just

really it's.

It's just like a great process.

So when you had this thought, this idea, you had a demonstrated capacity.

So you'd proven a concept.

It worked on a small scale.

Where did the idea go? We should franchise this.

And you kept saying we.

Who were those we?

So we had a co-founder.

He's my best friend since third grade.

We've known each other forever.

Grew up in Red Wing, Minnesota, a small town on the Mississippi in Minnesota area.

And he had a complimentary skill set to me, was working on startups.

I was in Charlotte, had gone to Wake Forest for college and said, hey, I want to do what I did in college, but now on a larger scale.

So he came down, we started 2U Laundry.

And the reason we franchised was a means to an end.

We had this delivery business that needed supply, needed locations to clean all the delivery volume we had.

And we kept running into issues with mom and pop laundromat owners.
