Page NicolBased in Phoenix AZ · serving clients nationwide
I’ve been a franchise owner, developer, and consultant since 1987. My story started in San Diego, where I bought a Mail Boxes Etc. franchise shortly after earning my BBA from the University of San Diego. Over the next 20 years, I built and sold 65 locations. In 1997, I purchased FranNet of Southern California and, with my brother Blair, grew the Southern California and Pacific Northwest markets. I’ve also owned many other franchised and independent businesses along the way. That firsthand experience, on both sides of the table, is what I bring to every candidate I work with. Helping people find the right fit and make a confident, informed decision is the most rewarding work I do.
