As a franchise broker with the Business Alliance, Don Samanas recognized the opportunity presented by Firestorm®, a national leader in crisis management, vulnerability analysis, risk mitigation, and business continuity.
After learning during the due diligence process of Firestorm and W.W. Grainger Inc. teaming to offer business continuity products and services, Samanas realized the potential and decided to become the latest Firestorm franchisee – the eighth awarded in less than a year.
Having spent 22 years working for Grainger — North America’s leading supplier of maintenance, repair and operations products — and later with Stanley Tools, Samanas understands the need to develop private-sector preparedness. During its 80-plus years, Grainger has helped businesses and governments respond to thousands of disasters by providing critical supplies.
