This is The Brand's Fifth Location in
The Lonestar State
AUSTIN,
Texas, Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Blingle!,
the premier outdoor lighting franchise, announced today the signing
of its newest franchise location in Austin, which is owned and operated by friends
Chelsea Turner and Kelli Katzman. With the heart of operations
based out of Liberty Hill, the new
location will serve the greater north Austin area as far west as Bertram over east to Taylor, and as far south as Manor with reach
into north Austin.
After moving to Austin at two
separate times, Turner and Katzman had no clue in 2012 when
they met while working at the same pharmaceutical company just how
strong their friendship would be. Turner, originally from
Missouri, was ready to ditch those
frigid Midwest winters and randomly placed her finger on a map, and
now 14 years later, she is bringing her own business to
Austin. Katzman on the other hand,
an Ankeny, Iowa native, graduated
from the University of Iowa, and went
to visit a friend in Austin for a
week, and before she knew it, was an Austin resident herself.
Katzman and Turner covered the same territory in pharmaceutical
sales and realized how well they complemented each other to build
success. Before doing pharmaceutical sales, Turner worked in
corporate sales and started her own door-hanging business. Katzman
started her career in sales for a copier business followed by
manufacturer and pharmaceutical sales before being recruited by
Johnson & Johson (J&J) for medical device sales. When the
opportunity arose with an opening on the team at J&J, Katzman
knew just who the perfect person was for the job, and she brought
Turner over.
After over a decade of working together in pharmaceutical and
medical device sales, Turner and Katzman were ready to leave
corporate America. Knowing how well they work together, and how
their strengths play off each other, they decided to partner up to
open a business. They knew they wanted to bring something to their
beloved community of Liberty Hill,
but at first, did not know what that business would be. After
diligently doing research, the duo found Blingle!. They immediately
put their sales hats on and saw the potential for growth, making
the decision an easy one.
"We are excited about bringing this service to our community,"
said Turner. "This brand has a design aspect that is fun and
creative that allows for us to be personable. This just made sense
for us."
"We want to build this brand in Central Texas," added Katzman. "Our goal
is not only to provide great products and services to our
customers, but also be able to give back to our community in
various ways."
Blingle! of Central Texas is
anticipated to open in mid-September of this year.
"We are excited to have Kelli and Chelsea join the Blingle!
family," Josh Skolnick, Founder of
HorsePower Brands said. "To be able to bring the premier products
and service that we have to offer to the Austin community is a great opportunity."
