ST. LOUIS - s4story -- Roland Cousins has joined the nationwide network of Get A Grip Franchising, expanding the resurfacing leader's reach to the North St. Louis area. Get A Grip North St. Louis repairs and resurfaces cracked fiberglass bathtubs, scratched or stained porcelain tile, and even Formica, laminate or cultured marble kitchen countertops and cabinets. All at a fraction of the cost of replacing them.

Cousins spent time in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Get A Grip is headquartered, learning more about Get A Grip's exclusive products and techniques. Unlike other training programs, Get A Grip puts its franchisees directly into the field, training them on actual customer jobs. This is where franchisees learn to resurface and restore practically every surface in the home: countertops, showers, tubs, tile and cabinets.

"I chose Get A Grip because of the family atmosphere, which is great because my wife, Benetta, will be helping me in the business by coordinating administrative functions like scheduling and bookkeeping," says Cousins, an honorably discharged Army veteran. "I also wanted to be independent and have more freedom after getting laid off last year. Getting hands on experience before I even opened the business was appealing, too." In addition to the military, Cousins' background includes experience in information technology as a network operations specialist for a utility company.
