GET A GRIP Resurfacing Named Military Friendly Franchise by G.I. Jobs Magazine

Online, May 15, 2012 (Newswire.com) - GET A GRIP Resurfacing, a family-owned, national franchise company with headquarters in Albuquerque, is pleased to announce that it has been named by G.I. Jobs magazine as a Military Friendly Franchise for 2012 the second year on the list. The list, compiled on behalf of the 3 million military members and veterans seeking a franchise, represents the top 10% of the nation's franchises doing the most to recruit military veterans.

"We've always given a discount to potential franchisees who are active or retired military. In fact, 5 of our franchises or dealerships are military owned. And GET A GRIP also puts all franchise fees on hold if a franchisee is called up for Guard or Reserve duty," says Sharon Dillard, CEO of GET A GRIP Resurfacing, Inc. "It's our way of rewarding the entrepreneurial spirit of men and women who have served our country, sacrificing themselves for our safety. So it's an honor to be recognized among the top companies in the United States for our efforts."

GET A GRIP franchises offer a home-based opportunity with low start up costs and franchise fee. The company's network of 30 franchises and dealers in 17 states around the country, many of them operating from home offices, resurfaces laminate or cultured marble countertops with our Eurostone® design, repairs cracked fiberglass bathtubs, scratched or stained porcelain bathtubs, tile showers and enclosures. GET A GRIP's Get A Metallic™ creates spectacular results for countertops. The company's newest offering, Porcelain Glaze™, is an innovative, high-performance coating system that returns porcelain tubs, sinks and showers to like new condition, requiring no acid to prepare surfaces, and delivering better environmental friendliness.
