He and his partner Jim were consulting for the business but decided to buy it instead. He is also a member of CCPN and ASA.
- Jeff Matt from Victory Auto Service in Minneapolis and St. Petersburg was featured in episode 48. Jeff owns six locations with one being in Florida. Why would a Minnesotan have a branch in Florida??? (LOL). He has over 40 team members and has grown through acquisition. Jeff opened Victory in 1997 as a one-bay shop and has slow steady growth over the years. His growth offers up a great view of multi-shop ownership.
