Dave Minor, Co-Founder
Before Dave was 21 years old, he had already been a retail location manager for a national video rental company and was well on his way to becoming the serial entrepreneur he is today.
Dave started early, opening his first business at age 23 and he never looked back. Over the years, he has owned ventures in the retail, home services, consulting, vending and automotive industries. These businesses include business started up from the ground up, purchased from prior owners and a franchise business.
Dave also has worked as a franchise consultant. In this capacity, he helped hundreds of new franchise buyers evaluate franchise opportunities and advised them in the purchasing process. These experiences provide a very unique insight into small business that very few people have the diversity of experiences to possess.
​
He is a relentless student of the American small business experience and has pursued every avenue in educating himself in the American Dream of business ownership. His success in business is due to this and his unyielding drive not just to success but to do it in a way that never compromised his beliefs and principles.
