Brian Anderson, FirstLight Home Care Franchisee, Naples Florida has been recognized by the Franchise Business Review as a Rockstar Franchisee.

Award-winning national home care franchise congratulates Brian Anderson

“Brian is a tremendous asset to the FirstLight team,” said Bill McPherson, FirstLight’s executive director of franchise development. “He is passionate about serving the Naples and Ft. Myers communities and is great steward of the FirstLight brand. He’s exactly what we look for in a franchisee.”

Anderson is one of just 50 franchise owners recognized. The Franchise Business Review researched more than 27,000 franchisees across 300 brands and selected the “best of the best,” based on things like financial success and professional satisfaction.

Anderson started in the major oil industry before going into gas station franchising. He also owned a surf shop and was successful in real estate before he decided to partner with FirstLight.

“I looked at a number of franchise opportunities, but I was turned off when they just handed me a manual,” Anderson said. “With FirstLight, the technology platforms are the industry’s best, and most importantly, they hold me accountable.”  "I came from the major oil industry; I left corporate to own my own oil distribution business then went into gas station franchising, owned a highly successful surf shop, which was the first beach location to sell the original Tommy Bahama line, and next I was successful in real estate."

"Accountability to the franchise name brand, to our caregivers, and to our clients, is fundamental. For business success, one of my credos is there are errors of commission and errors of omission. Commission errors are correctable learning and teaching moments, while errors of omission are unacceptable."
