American Freight Announces First Quarter Franchise Growth

Nation’s Leading Furniture, Mattress and Appliance Retailer Awards Three New Territories, Opens Two New Franchise Locations

May 12, 2023 // Franchising.com // DELAWARE, Ohio - American Freight Furniture, Mattress and Appliance, a leading national retailer offering in-store and online access to furniture, mattresses and appliances at discount prices, awarded three new territories and opened two new franchise locations during the first quarter of 2023. 

The new territories are located across Florida and Pennsylvania and represent three new franchise owners. Among them is Doctor of Pharmacy Godfrey Ukwuoma, MBA. Prior to joining American Freight, Ukwuoma was the owner and CEO at Woodmoor Pharmacy and Medical Supply, Inc., a retail pharmacy business serving the Woodlawn Community in Baltimore, Maryland. 

“I was attracted to American Freight because it is a good fit for my strengths as a prior owner and operator of a retail business,” said Ukwuoma. “The scalability and semi-absentee nature of American Freight also solidified my decision to become a franchise owner.”

In March, two more franchise owners celebrated grand openings including Rabih Awad, a seasoned retail expert with a successful network of furniture stores. Awad opened his store in Brooklyn Park, Maryland and also has two more in development. In addition, Mohamad Atieh, an experienced multi-unit operator, opened his location in Joliet, Illinois and has two more in development. 

“Between welcoming new franchise owners and opening new stores, it’s been an exciting start to 2023,” said Terry McGee, Vice President of Franchise Development at American Freight. “Candidates are attracted to our simple-to-build, highly scalable and semi-absentee franchise model. It is creating momentum behind the growth of the program that we will see continue throughout the year.”
