Today, I have been contemplating the corporate world. As I mentioned in my last blog I have started a business. It is a floor mat rental and dust control company called Peach Mat Service. We have started this business in Milledgeville, GA because there is not a local company that offers this type of service. However there are several national companies that currently service the Milledgeville area. We have landed the hospital and three other restaurants and are super excited to start this new adventure. In our few days of selling we have encountered problems with trying to get corporate businesses to use a local service. A lot of the corporate chain restaurant managers are not allowed to make the decision on what vendors they want to use. I could understand this when it comes to the food product considering that they want all the restaurants to have the same food quality but when it comes to servicing floor mats and dust control products you would think these corporate businesses would allow general managers to use a local business if they wanted to. In this struggling economy it is important to shop local and help support local businesses.
