Fibrenew Asheville background and description from the owner, Julie Kapugi:
After years of working corporate killer hours at a computer desk job, I purchased the Fibrenew Asheville territory. This franchise has allowed me the flexibility of scheduling my own work hours, allowed me to travel, and also attend to my family obligations.
I have worked Fibrenew part-time to transition toward retirement. The movement and work within Fibrenew have improved my overall health and fitness level, and I sleep better. I have also developed excellent relationships with numerous businesses who make up my ongoing repeat customers. My business has an outstanding reputation for customer satisfaction as evidenced by more than thirty (30) 5-star Google reviews.
If I could do it all over again:
If I had been younger when I started Fibrenew and worked my business full-time, I would have added an administrative person and several technicians. There are more than enough untapped customers in this territory to support extensive business expansion. There are also significant growth opportunities in this area in furniture, medical, RV, and vinyl windows/doors (especially in new construction).
What makes this franchise unique:
Fibrenew has a highly regarded reputation in our industry. With our large footprint across the country, our consistent product innovations throughout the years, to our gleaming reputation online, we are considered the leaders in our category. In fact, Entrepreneur Magazine ranked Fibrenew #1 in the leather, plastic, and vinyl restoration category and #185 for all franchises – which puts us in the top 15% of all franchises globally.
Fibrenew is a recession-resistant mobile service franchise with 300+ locations today. With a rich history that dates back to 1985, we manufacture a highly specialized proprietary product line and have pioneered the repair techniques and exclusive color-matching technology that our technicians use every day. Our products, techniques, and color-matching technology are what sets us apart and keeps us growing as an organization.
