A CHANGE IN DIRECTION
The extreme heat wasn't the
only issue with southern
Arizona. Duxbury and his
partners, who had also
expanded into Tucson in
2014, realized they only
had so much growth left in
the area.
"We started to talk with
Canteen," Duxbury said. "My
partners and I really liked
the idea of working with
Canteen long-term - at the
time, we were competing -
but we wanted to continue to
work with a large company
in the industry."
In 2014, Duxbury and
his partners sold the Tucson
branch to Canteen and
signed a franchise agreement for Yuma. This paved
the way for further expansion into northern Nevada
in 2018, where Duxbury
said there was a "hole in the
map" in the Canteen franchise network at the time.
"We wanted a new market to grow into and we'd
heard good things about the
economy up in northern
Nevada. So, in early 2018,
George Caruso and I flew
up to Reno and took a look
around," Duxbury recalled.
"It looked like a phenomenal
market to us. The Silicon
Valley tech companies had
figured out they could save
money by having operations
in northern Nevada, and it
was a 35-minute direct flight
from San Francisco. The
