OCEANSIDE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--An Oceanside man who entered franchising after serving in the United States Marine Corps for 34 years and now co-owns and operates five Budget Blinds businesses throughout North San Diego County has been honored with the top 2022 franchising honor from Budget Blinds, North America’s largest window covering franchise.
Lloyd Biggs accepted the 2022 Budget Blinds Franchisee of the Year Award on behalf of his team of 15 from Budget Blinds President Doug Phillip during the 2022 Budget Blinds Virtual Key Initiative Meeting for Budget Blinds franchisees earlier this year. The annual award recognizes the one franchisee out of more than 900 Budget Blinds business owners in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico who best models Budget Blinds values, provides uncompromising customer service, and contributes to employees and the local community.
Biggs and his business partner, Adam Berryman, own Budget Blinds franchises in Carlsbad, Oceanside, San Marcos, Vista and North San Diego, which they operate as a family and community enterprise under the umbrella of Budget Blinds of North County San Diego. Biggs invested in his first business in 2015 to replace the stresses of corporate life with a company that could grow with his family and community. Currently, his wife, Angela, helps manage the business.
Since becoming a Budget Blinds franchisee with two territories in December 2015, Biggs and his team have served more than 7,200 homeowners throughout North County San Diego.
Biggs currently chairs the Budget Blinds Franchisee Advisory Committee, which provides partnership, collaboration and time to help improve the Budget Blinds community. In addition to sales and customer service excellence, Budget Blinds acknowledged Biggs’ work with San Diego Habitat for Humanity, the Tri-Cities Chapter of Disabled American Veterans and the Last Chance at Life animal shelter in Oceanside.
A computer engineering graduate of the University of Florida, Biggs earned a master’s degree in computer engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif.
