What happens when a franchise system stalls — and how do you get it moving again? In this episode of Franchise Today, Stan Friedman speaks with Mike Mushinski, President of Garage Experts. Mike joined the brand in 2024 to rebuild operations and restore momentum to a growing garage flooring and storage franchise.
Mike shares why most franchise problems originate in recruitment rather than operations, how setting clear expectations solves many system challenges, and why franchising is fundamentally a relationship-driven business.
The conversation also explores the growth potential in garage organization, the advantages of a vertically integrated supply chain, and how home services brands are adapting to changing economic conditions.
