New Access Garage Doors Franchise Opens in Salt Lake City

Access Garage Doors, a leader in residential and commercial garage door services, is proud to announce the opening of its newest franchise in Salt Lake City, Utah. Owned by Eric White, the new franchise is set to service the northern portion of Salt Lake County and Davis County, promising professional, trustworthy, and quality garage door services. In an economy where the value of skilled trades is increasingly in demand, the new location will help bring more skilled trades workers to the area.

With more than 770,000 skilled job postings reported since the beginning of 2023, the demand for tradespeople is evident. Access Garage Doors of Salt Lake City not only addresses this need but also showcases the potential for individuals to redefine their careers through entrepreneurship in the trades.

White has decades of experience that includes sales, operations, and technical skills. As an “extreme DIYer” and affectionally called “Mr. Spreadsheet,” White leads the new Access Garage Doors of Salt Lake City with a unique blend of experiences. Leveraging his broad skillset, he’s excited to build his own business and create a legacy to leave for his four children.

“In hindsight, I should have ventured into franchising right from the start,” says White. “I’m incredibly excited for this opportunity, bringing a level of professionalism, trust, and quality to the garage door industry in Salt Lake City that only Access Garage Doors can offer. This is more than a business for me; it’s about building something lasting for my family and solving problems for my community.”

The Salt Lake City area, with its high owner-occupancy rate and the anticipated need for skilled trades, presents an ideal market for this new franchise. A new but determined player in the franchise world, White is set to make a significant impact, supported by the robust framework and values of Access Garage Doors. White’s goal is to elevate the garage door industry in Salt Lake City by providing trustworthy, valuable, and quality services.

With home and neighborhood improvements running in the family, White is excited to extend the legacy of his dad and grandfather. His grandfather, M. Kenneth White, who felt it was his duty to bring the American dream to all Utahns no matter their income or circumstance, developed White City, Mount Olympus Park and Canyon Rim developments. Eric’s father, Ken White, was also in the sand and gravel business with White Concrete Products, the first gravel pit at the well-known Point of the Mountain in Draper in 1968.

“After months of collaboration with Eric, our team holds unwavering faith that he and his family will bring the exceptional standard of Access Garage Doors service to the Salt Lake City community,” said Jesse Cox, CEO of Access Garage Doors. “Eric embodies the drive we seek in our franchise owners, ensuring a distinctively higher level of service delivery.”

As the first franchise location in Utah, this new location represents more than growth for the company. With White at the helm, it sends a message to other entrepreneurs that it’s never too late to pursue one’s dreams.

Access Garage Doors of Salt Lake City is set to open on May 6, 2024.
