Michael Barrett

Michael Barrett owns 2 FAST-FIX stores in Arizona and is opening two additional locations in the next few years into regional malls being developed.

"Prior to purchasing a FAST-FIX franchised store, I had owned and operated two very successful businesses. However, I wanted to position myself in an in-demand service business with little to no competition and after much research decided that FAST-FIX was my next, best, big thing. Due to the success of my first store, I opened my second store a little over a year later to expand into the other regional mall in Tucson, Arizona.

What I consider to be my most rewarding experience is being able to consistently increase sales over my previous year's sales. Also being awarded the Peter and Candice LeCody Special Recognition Award for Marketing Excellence in 2003 and the FAST-FIX Merchandiser of the Year in 2003.

My success as a FAST-FIX franchise owner is due to a myriad number of things; Of course working hard, counseling with other successful FAST-FIX franchise owners, staying in touch with the Franchising Staff at JRE, Inc., reading the monthly newsletters and attending all of the regional marketing meetings as well as the annual national convention.

It is a proven process to becoming a successful FAST-FIX franchise owner. Get involved, counsel with mentors in the FAST-FIX franchise family, attend all regional and national conventions, and treat every customer as special as your first and you will succeed."
