“For 30 years I’d been running businesses for other people. After my most recent position as the VP and General Manager of a telecom company was eliminated due to the economic climate, I decided it was time to put my energy into running my own business...
...In addition to wanting to own a sports-related business, the Pro Image franchise opportunity appealed to me because there is a tremendous market demand for sports apparel and novelty products. I recognized the need for a store like this, especially here in Central Florida. There are a lot of nearby pro and college teams- like the Gators, Seminoles and Hurricanes- that fans get pretty excited about and there wasn’t a store like this around…and the only other Pro Image store in Florida is in Ft. Lauderdale area...
...I purchased my Pro Image franchise in April, 2009. The Pro Image corporate staff is currently working diligently to help me secure the lease for my location which we expect will open in September 2009- in time for the fall sports season and holiday shopping season...
...The fact that Pro Image is the largest sports apparel and novelty gift store in the country provides me with a powerful competitive edge. The strength and support that we’ll have through the corporate office will serve us well.”
- Chip Adkins - New franchisee owner in the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida area

"I chose Pro Image over several other franchises because of the support from the home office. The prevailing attitude was that their #1 job was to help me be successful. I haven't been disappointed. It doesn't hurt that the royalty fee was far and away the lowest amonth the franchises I looked at."

"I've always been into sports, and this is an exciting business to be in. I still get excited about the product."
