After more than two decades in the corporate world, a drawn-out restructuring process at his company in Boston left Steve Young looking for a new source of income.
“What was going to be left for me, there wasn’t really something I wanted to do,” Young said. “In all fairness, the corporate world has been good to me, but for many years, I’ve wanted to get out and do something on my own. It just was never the right time. Now it is.”
Young considered starting a business from scratch, but didn’t like the profit projections any of his ideas produced. Then, after four months of researching possible franchise opportunities, he decided to become the second franchisee of Monster Tree Service, a tree restoration, pruning and removal business started five years ago by Fort Washington native Josh Skolnick.
Young’s Monster Tree franchise, which launched last week, will primarily service Chester County. Hailing from Reading, having worked in Montgomeryville and with three daughters living in the area, it was the perfect situation for Young.
