ANAHEIM, Calif., Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- GarageExperts.com, a fast-growing Garage Improvement Franchisor, has awarded its first franchise agreement in the Seattle, Washington area. This is part of an expansion plan to add more than 10 territories across the region over the next three to five years. Each franchise will be locally owned and operated.

John Patterson signed a two-territory agreement and will open the first GarageExperts.com franchise in the spring of 2010 (http://www.garageexperts.com/Find-a-Location.html?zipcode=98335).

"It's a very exciting business model that is attractive to a lot of people," said Patterson. "And Seattle, in general, is an ideal market for GarageExperts because people really value their homes and improving their garage is a way to get more usable space out of their existing home."

Patterson will act as the President and has extensive experience in the construction industry, including ventures with commercial and residential roofing. Additionally, Patterson has a pool of long-term employees who are chomping at the bit to get off the roof and into the garage.

"Seattle offers the perfect customer base for GarageExperts.com's brand promise to 'Unclutter your World' by coating the garage floor and installing cabinets," said Matthew Newman, GarageExperts.com vice president of franchising. "We offer a product that not only looks great but it is functional, too. And we see a huge opportunity to bring that to Seattle and throughout Washington where most of the garages are plain concrete with little to no storage." (http://www.garageexperts.com)

GarageExperts.com launched a national franchise program in 2009 to answer growing consumer demand for a garage improvement option that has resulted in 4 franchise territory signings with a commitment of 2 new locations to date. The popularity of the brand's signature 1 Day Garage Floor Coatings, along with the innovations and support of a seasoned management team, has put the company on track to reach as many as 200 territories across the country in five years.

GarageExperts.com is currently awarding franchise opportunities in select markets across the country for business owners and entrepreneurs interested in joining the growing network. The company is hosting a series of "Discovery Days" to share the details.
