Black Optix Tint Appoints Franchise Industry Veteran Jeff Stark as New Brand President

Stark brings more than 15 years of executive leadership experience to drive operational performance, support franchise owners and guide the brand's continued expansion

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Optix Tint®, a growing franchise specializing in premium window tinting and automotive styling services, has named Jeff Stark as its new brand president. With over 15 years of executive leadership experience in the franchising and automotive industry, Stark brings a proven track record of expertise across multi-unit operations, franchisee relations, team development and strategic business development to the role.

As Brand President, he will focus on building strong brand identity, improving franchisee profitability, driving systemwide performance and creating scalable strategies that support long-term, sustainable growth.

"Having started out in the automotive industry, I know how much goes into building a business that customers trust and want to return to," said Stark. "What stood out to me about Black Optix Tint is the opportunity to take that same commitment to quality and service and build on it across a growing franchise network. My focus is on making sure our owners have the tools, support and guidance they need to succeed, while continuing to build a brand that customers recognize and trust."

Stark began his career in automotive sales at just 18 years old, making his way through nearly every stage of the automotive service industry before eventually transitioning into franchising. From there, he fulfilled several key leadership roles, including operations manager, vice president of operations and chief operating officer, giving him a well-rounded perspective on the industry and the ability to identify opportunities for innovation and improvement at every level of a business.

"With his understanding of the day-to-day operations of an automotive service shop to broad-scale franchise management, Jeff was a natural fit," said Andrew Titus, President of United Franchise Group. "His ability to draw from personal experience while upholding a results-driven approach will be an asset as we continue expanding the Black Optix Tint brand."

Founded in 2014, Black Optix Tint has grown from a single automotive styling business into a nationwide franchise offering automotive, residential and commercial window tinting, paint protection film, ceramic coatings and custom vehicle wraps. The company joined United Franchise Group's Starpoint Brands™ division in 2025, gaining access to additional franchise development resources and operational expertise to support its expansion.

As the brand enters its next chapter, Stark will prioritize strengthening the performance of its existing franchise network while helping new owners establish successful businesses, positioning Black Optix Tint for sustainable growth in the years ahead.
