Grow......And Still KeepYour Independence?“After working in the RTO industry for morethan 20 years, I knew I wanted to be inbusiness for myself. Partnering with successfulColorTyme franchisee Mike Houseworth wasa great experience which opened a door forme to go solo. However, I wasn’t completelysure if rent-to-own was the type of businessI wanted. So, I took a break to explore other opportunities. Thisis how I learned that when rent-to-own is in your blood, it stays inyour blood. After my wife, Lisa, and I carefully investigated otherRTO franchise opportunities, we came to the conclusion thatColorTyme is head and shoulders above the rest. The ColorTymesystem gives you an opportunity to become a partner and pavesthe way for you to go out on your own. With Pat Sumner and BobBloom, there are no hoops to jump through, no red tape. Pat isnever far away. Even during my break, he checked in with meregularly to address any questions or concerns I may have had.Colortyme provided the vehicle necessary for me to get going. InJuly, my wife came with me to the ColorTyme National Convention,she loved the fact that we were welcomed like family and that theColortyme family is supportive of each of the franchisees. Thatwas the icing on the cake.”- Mike Gavida, Franchisee“When I started in rent-to-own inOctober of 1986, I had no priorexperience, but my family has alwaysbeen in retail furniture. I’m a fourthgeneration furniture retailer so movinginto rent-to-own was a natural fit.Because I wanted to grow the businessand include more stores, I convertedmy original rent-to-own business to ColorTyme knowing that thenational recognition that the ColorTyme name held would help mebe able to do just that. Not many rent-to-own companies offerfranchising options and of the ones that do, I knew ColorTymewas the best deal. They have the best program for franchising.We’re very conscious of customer service here, and ColorTyme isa great name. If our customers need something, we’ll find a wayto do it.”- Don Hinton, Franchisee“I was a store manager for Rent-A-Center, but I really wanted to work formyself. With ColorTyme’s franchisingopportunities, you don’t have tobe a millionaire to be a franchisee.The support and the interest fromColorTyme was phenomenal andthey’ve done everything they said theywere going to do in a timely manner. They’ve supportedme every step of the way. I even went and talked with aColorTyme franchisee in a nearby town and he listed themistakes he made when he first opened - that has helpedme a lot. With my first store opening, I’m looking forwardto being able to help our customers by providing qualityproducts and great service. I can hold my head up highabout that. Each time someone walks in the door, the owner– me – will be there to say hi.”- James Stephens, FranchiseeFor more information ortestimonials, please visitfranchise.colortyme.comor call Jim Deering today at(800) 608-8963.(All calls are confidential.)Associate Member since 1992
