After growing tired of being a slave to opening and closing a retail sporting goods store at set hours every day, I knew I wanted and needed a change.
Additionally, I knew I did not want to deal with inventory, employees, leases, rent and did not want to be tied down to set hours. I also wanted to own a business with minimal competition and relatively high demand.
I learned from internet research that there was a tremendous about of tile in my area. I knew that I didn’t want to be a tile installer, but getting into the grout maintenance business with The Grout Doctor® made perfect sense because they were just expanding into the state of Florida and could teach me what I needed to know and provide a support system that would save me lots of time and money.
I’ve learned that anywhere there is tile, there is a demand for dedicated grout care. My Grout Doctor business continues to grow significantly each year and I really enjoy running this business with my wife Debi, who handles the administrative part of the business. She handles all the customer calls, estimate and job scheduling and trips to the bank. “Debi loves going to the bank!”
