The company will be offering $30 off of any window tint package, as well as a variety of other deals on detailing and car audio.

“We’re excited to open the doors of our brand new Tint World store here in Greensboro and can’t wait to let customers into our modern showroom so they can see the professional work we do, especially as the car audio leaders of North Carolina,” says store owners Daniel Apa and Joe Fazio. “This franchise has been delivering quality service for over 30 years and the brand new state-of-the-art facility is staffed with hand-selected Mobile Electronic Certified Professional (MCEP) installation staff. We’re sure our customers will find a whole new experience at Tint World.”

The license was awarded to Paul Hostage, a young entrepreneur who also owns a medical supply company and was interested in diversifying his business ventures in the custom automobile industry.

“I’m sure Paul’s extensive managerial experience with his medical supply company will support his success as a Tint World business owner, and I’m very excited about his passion for motorcycle styling he will be promoting in his new store,” says Tint World president Charles Bonfiglio. “Right now our stores deal mostly with automobiles, and we are eager to have Paul lead the charge to establish Tint World as the premier national franchise for motorcycle styling as well.”

“Cary is sure to be a strong member of the Tint World team,” says Charles Bonfiglio, president of Tint World. “His background in the construction industry has given him more than enough management experience to achieve great success with the Tint World system, and his knowledge of the Florida market will also make him a valuable new member to the Tint World team. You really have to know how to get the job done, and Cary has already proven success in this in a very difficult industry.”

Anthony Foley, director of franchise development for Tint World, attributes the growth to being a unique presence in the industry as a franchise.

“It’s the fact that the industry doesn’t have a presence like us and the consumer is looking for something like us,” says Foley. “I definitely knew we had something special here and it’s great that other people can see what we are putting together.”

“I wasn’t surprised by the growth because I knew that there was a good model here, very low cost and an easy system for someone once they have been trained,” says Charles J. Bonfiglio, Tint World’s franchise president. “I knew it was going to grow pretty quickly, but to go from six stores in 2006 to 28 stores sold in the U.S. in 2011 is great.”

“It was a surprise,” says Bonfiglio about making the Inc. Magazine list. “I got emailed that they saw the company growing so we became part of the program. A month or two later they sent us a notice telling us we have been selected. We couldn’t say anything for two months.”

“That was an exercise in patience for sure,” says Foley. “Now we are really looking forward to advancing that number on the list year to year.”

The Inc. list has set a new goal for Tint World to increase its ranking in future lists. Besides the list, Tint World is just looking forward to continued growth within the automotive aftermarket industry.

“We are constantly looking to find franchisees that are a good fit,” says Foley. “At the end of the day, the strength of the franchise system is the strength of the franchisees. That all starts with profiling and making sure we are a good fit before we start working together. We are growing rapidly and are looking to expand into the international market which could be solidified by the end of the year.”
