I was looking for a company that I could develop and grow the way I wanted to. The franchise model takes so much of the guesswork out of starting your own business. I’m always impressed with NPI’s staff in Omaha – They’re invested in my success and always available to help. Purchasing an NPI franchise is without a doubt one of the best decisions my wife and I ever made.
