LINE-X, a leading manufacturer of high-performance protective coatings and industry-leading automotive and lifestyle accessories, announced today that the company has awarded 15 new franchise agreements across the U.S. and Canada so far in 2021 and is still actively seeking new prospective owners to welcome to the network before the close of the year. New LINE-X franchise agreements awarded just since January cover 15 states and provinces, including first-time entry into Chattanooga, Tenn., Flagstaff, Ariz. and Conroe, Texas. The current network size now stands at 549 franchises across the United States and Canada, and aggressive expansion is expected to continue as LINE-X looks to surpass 600 franchise locations open or in development by the end of the year. “This has been an incredibly strong year so far for the growth of our franchise network,” said Tim Tyrka, Director of Franchise Sales of LINE-X. “Since the start of 2021, our award-winning network has attracted great operators who are serving a rapidly-growing customer base demanding our products and services. The hard work and dedication that our franchisees bring to the table has elevated LINE-X to be the successful brand it is today, and we look forward to partnering with more promising candidates in the coming months.” The LINE-X franchise development team is especially eager to connect with prospective franchise owners from target development markets including but not limited to: ● Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler and Surprise-Sun City, Ariz. ● Bentonville and Rogers, Ark. ● Long Beach and Santa Rosa, Calif. ● Gainesville, Homestead and Kissimmee, Fla. ● Durham, Charlotte and Greensboro, N.C. ● Norman, Okla. ● Bend, Ore. ● Lancaster, Pa. ● Nashville, Tenn. ● College Station, Texas ● Salt Lake City, Provo and Ogden, Utah “Used car prices are skyrocketing as the manufacturing of new cars slows due to the global chip shortage, while RV and boat purchases are soaring as interest grows in camping and other outdoor activities,” said Tyrka. “Current automotive marketplace trends like these are driving increasing demand for LINE-X services. In short, there is no better time to become a LINE-X franchise owner.”
