Rebecca Merola
Brandon was great to work with. The world of franchising was a complete unknown and walked me through the process step by step. He understood my schedule and need for flexibility and went the extra mile, making himself available early in the mornings and on Saturdays. He proactively checked in on how things were going without ever being pushy and he was genuinely happy for me when I signed on with The Designery.

Brandon is a true professional. He has his clients best interest upper most in his mind when he works with them. As a franchise consultant myself, it is important that when I refer someone to a franchisor that they are taken care of in a professional manner and that their best interest is taken into consideration. He's a real pro!
