What ProSource Franchisees Have To Say
TOM MURRAY
Franchisee, Three ProSource Showrooms:
Pittsburgh, PA • Bridgeville, PA • Monroeville, PA
“I bought three ProSource showrooms about eight years ago. At other flooring stores, we seemed to be losing business with decorators, builders and remodelers when the big box stores came in. Being a ProSource franchise enabled us to regain a lot of that market share and gave us an opportunity to compete against these big box stores. To be successful, I think it’s important to stay involved in your business. That means not only being present in your showroom but also engaging with the training and everything that goes along with the system, so you can understand how it works from the ground up.”
KEN NASH
Franchisee, Three ProSource Showrooms:
Bloomington, Plymouth, and St. Paul, MN
“I think the ProSource concept is great, and it works. I bought my first ProSource franchise in 1992 and have expanded to have three showrooms. Their business model fills a niche in the industry for trade professionals like builders, realtors and remodelers and gives them a great atmosphere for doing business. There is nothing else like it in the marketplace.”
JODY OFFSTEIN
Franchisee, Six ProSource Showrooms:
Savannah, GA • Raleigh, NC • Charlotte, NC • Richmond, VA • Charleston, SC • Nashville, TN
"I believe the best thing ProSource does is provide solutions for individual franchisees' needs. They can really drill down and assist you with your business, whether it's products, hiring, credit or any other area you could want. Whatever I need, they're always there to listen and lend support"
TOM FASOLDT
Franchisee, Three ProSource Showrooms: Hartford CT, Milford CT, Hudson Valley NY
"I chose to become a ProSource franchise owner because I liked the proven systems that were available to me. I opened my first showroom almost ten years ago and have expanded my ProSource ownership to five showrooms since then. ProSource really has assisted my business growth in many ways. I probably wouldn’t have been able to do what I’ve done without their help.”
