United States. FullSpeed Automotive announced recently signed agreements for three Grease Monkey locations in Florida, building on strong brand development.
The first location recently opened in 1950 Dundee Rd., Winter Haven, Florida. A second location, in Dundee, is planned to open in April; and the third location, in Auburndale, is anticipated to open in May.
Behind Grease Monkey's three-unit deal is Goran Mladen, who said he felt FullSpeed's brands had the greatest chance of success and was impressed with their training and support programs.
"When I researched the Grease Monkey franchise opportunity, I was immediately impressed by the support team and the potential for success of each store," said Mladen.
"It's exciting to open my first Grease Monkey location in the area I've called home since 2015. I've seen, firsthand, the need for more automotive services in the area and can't wait to see my first location. to succeed and provide this new service to my community," he said.
Mladen searched Florida for real estate deals that included the sale of existing lubricant stores. This has allowed him to invest in multiple locations with Grease Monkey. With one already open, he has two more under construction in the area and is interested in investing in more units to open in Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach and Palm Coast, Florida, in the future.
