About the episode

Jack Foster and Jake McLaughlin left careers in private equity to build one of the fastest-growing Meineke platforms in the country. In this episode, we break down why they chose Meineke and auto repair over flashier franchises, their unit economics and margins, and how they scaled from 3 stores to 25 in just 2 years.
