This Franchise Friday we celebrate Joy Davis of Fayetteville, AK. Joy joined the Abrakadoodle system when she purchased her franchise, Abrakadoodle of Northwest Arkansas, in February of 2013 following a career in corporate sales and operations management. Of the new venture, Joy proclaimed, “I always dreamed of owning my own business.” As a franchise owner, Joy celebrates the opportunity to stimulate creativity in young children with the help of the extensive Abrakadoodle curriculum. Abrakadoodle of Northwest Arkansas offers after-school enrichment classes, in-school field trips, summer camps and birthday parties and has partnered with local organizations such as Wal-Mart and the Bentonville Community Center to bring remarkable art education to children of the Northwest Arkansas community. In the Abrakadoodle system, at the 2013 Annual Conference, Joy was honored with the Pioneer Award. The following year, Joy earned the Wow Award, which recognizes Abrakadoodle franchise owners who receive high praise from their customers. Congratulations to Joy and her team of talented teachers for their outstanding work with young children!
