July Franchisee of the Month Quentin Kruel
Quentin’s success in July demonstrates what franchise ownership is all about: embracing new challenges, taking initiative, and leaning on the strength of the Painter Bros network. By approaching every project as an opportunity to learn and remaining determined when challenges arose, Quentin completed his largest job to date and opened the door to even more opportunities with a national commercial client.
BIGGEST WIN IN JULY
July marked a major milestone for Quentin as he landed his first national commercial project—a full repaint of a shopping center and the largest job he has taken on to date. Because this was Painter Bros’ first project for the client, Quentin understood that he was representing not only his own business but the entire Painter Bros network. Backed by Painter Bros’ proven systems and resources, he approached the opportunity with confidence and a commitment to making a strong first impression.
As Quentin prepared for the project, he leveraged Painter Bros’ established processes, industry relationships, and network of support to assemble the right resources and expertise for the job. This included connecting with a qualified synthetic stucco subcontractor through product representatives and local industry contacts. With the right team in place, Quentin was well-equipped to meet the project’s specialized needs and deliver the high-quality results the client expected.
Family gives Quentin his sense of purpose, motivating him to treat every project as an opportunity to learn and improve. That mindset, combined with the support and resources available through Painter Bros, helped him confidently take on a larger commercial project while gaining valuable experience for future opportunities.
Quentin and his team successfully completed the shopping center repaint and made a strong impression on the client. Following the project, Painter Bros was invited to bid on two additional opportunities, opening the door to a potentially lasting commercial relationship. Quentin’s success demonstrates what is possible when strong leadership, a proven franchise system, and a commitment to quality come together.
ADVICE TO FRANCHISE OWNERS
Quentin’s advice to other Painter Bros franchisees is to trust their abilities while remembering they do not have to navigate every challenge alone. “Trust that you can do this, and ask your Painter Bros coach and the other owners for help. There’s a good reason you joined a system and didn’t launch this on your own.” The Painter Bros system gives franchisees access to experienced coaches and fellow owners who understand the challenges of growing a business. Quentin encourages owners to use those resources, especially when pursuing larger opportunities or taking on an unfamiliar project. His success is a reminder that growth often requires stepping outside your comfort zone, asking for support, and trusting yourself to rise to the occasion. By learning from others and confidently embracing new opportunities, franchisees can continue strengthening their businesses and reaching new milestones.
Congratulations to Quentin on being named our July Franchisee of the Month! We appreciate his commitment to growth, resourcefulness, and dedication to representing the Painter Bros brand with excellence.
