Meineke Car Care Centers LLC has opened a location in Holly Springs, N.C. It is the first Meineke outlet for new franchisee Darrick Finan.
“I respect the Meineke model,” says Finan, who recently left a 30-plus-year corporate career. “They have a great marketing program that helps create customer traffic, and they are on top of the technology and training needed to repair today’s vehicles.”
Finan was familiar with the Meineke model thanks to a good friend of his, Maurice Richardson, who had managed another Meineke center for 10 years. Richardson has now become a partner in Finan’s new Holly Springs location and will be managing the store’s daily operations.
