MarketWatch:
Granite Transformations, a remodeling services company that has facilities and showrooms around the world, unveils today its plans to further expand the emerging franchise into a new region, Latin America. The company believes franchise development will be attractive in this region due to the proximity to franchise support and materials, the strong crossover from the multicultural Florida market, as well as an economic rebound faster than the United States, according to WorldCity.
“We have thought carefully about expanding into Latin America and believe the timing and social context are perfect for the introduction of our concept,” explains Mark Johnson, CEO of Granite Transformations. “To support our move into this region, Granite Transformations has established a company base in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and expects franchise development in Brazil, Mexico and other key markets in 2012.”
