She and Dunn decided to check it out, and they met the local franchise’s owner Mike Lutey. “I stood there and had a big smile on my face,” Ishee recalled. “We thought it would be great to have for our daughter.”
In November, they went to Dallas to meet Special Strong’s founder, Daniel Stein, to determine if they would be a match to start their own franchise.
