About This Video
In this heartfelt owner testimonial, Penny Ellison of Knoxville, Tennessee, reflects on running her Mr. Handyman franchise since 2009. What drew her to franchising was wanting a company that had her back, one where the systems were already in place, and she describes how ownership gave her the chance to grow in ways she never expected. The video turns deeply personal as Ellison recalls losing her husband and the way the Mr. Handyman and Neighborly families rallied around her. They stood behind her completely, she says, picking her up and moving her forward when she felt like she was starting over, and without them she is not sure she would still be in business today. She truly considers them family. She also speaks about the meaning she finds in the work, helping customers fix their homes and being someone's hero every day, and about her late husband, a veteran who taught her the trade. She believes he would be proud of her. Watch the full testimonial to hear her story, then explore the Mr. Handyman opportunity.
