Brightway Insurance Multi-unit Owner, Ken Toney, sets company history with acquisition of fourth location

SOUTH DAYTONA, Fla., Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the past year, Brightway franchise owners have expanded their enterprises at a record pace and today, the company is pleased to share that veteran Insurance Agent Ken Toney has become its first four-unit owner. Toney is now the new owner of Brightway, The Kennedy Family Agency in South Daytona.

"We've built a fantastic team, and I'm thrilled to partner with Angie Kennedy, the Agency Principal at the new Daytona location," said Toney. "We've worked together for over 20 years, and I'm confident she'll be very successful as the lead Agent and Manager at the new Daytona office."

Toney, who owns one of the largest franchises in the system, opened his first Brightway store in central Florida in 2009. He joined a growing list of Multi-unit Owners in 2016, when he became the owner of a store now located in Georgia. Earlier this year, he became the owner of his first location in Texas.

"Ken Toney has done a tremendous job of empowering his team to expand his Brightway enterprise, and we're ecstatic to see him continue growing his business and are proud to partner with him," said Brightway President and CEO, Michael Miller. "We're committed to providing Franchise Owners like Ken with comprehensive business support so they can be wildly successful."

The second unit free offer is also available with Brightway's newest option to join with a $5,000 franchise fee. Click here for details on the franchise updates. 

Toney added, "I joined Brightway back in 2009 during the Great Recession and here I am 11 years later, opening my fourth location. I knew back then it would be a good opportunity for me and my family because it was, and remains to this day, a recession-proof company."
