"I wanted to invest in restaurants - that's what I'd done for 20 years, but my wife said no. She suggested I check into a business that did watch repairs - it was an item we always needed to get fixed.

A local jeweler told me about a company that had a mall kiosk in Boynton Beach, Florida with customers lined up for jewelry and watch repairs. I flew down to check it out.

I was amazed when I counted 15 customers in the first half hour … that weekend I visited twelve more FAST-FIX stores and saw the same kind of activity.

I hadn't even considered the jewelry and watch repair industry when I first began my franchise investigation process ... yet, once I learned more about the business and realized that it was recession-resistant, profitable business where I could own multiple units, I knew FAST-FIX was a smart decision and precisely what I had in mind."
