Closets by Design Expands Mid-Atlantic Footprint with Husband-Wife Duo in Baltimore

May 27, 2026 // Franchising.com // Baltimore, MD — Closets by Design provides custom storage solutions in the Mid-Atlantic region. Jessica and Nathan Coffey are establishing a business in the Baltimore area to offer these services in local communities.

The Coffeys are transitioning into entrepreneurship after extensive careers in client services, sales, account management, and healthcare. While their backgrounds focused on building relationships and improving systems, the couple says their move into franchising represents a long-standing interest in business ownership and the opportunity to create something of their own.

“Jessica and I are excited to make the leap into entrepreneurship,” said Nathan Coffey. “It’s reassuring to partner with a franchisor that has an established track record and a clear playbook. Having the Closets by Design support system in place will be invaluable as we get started and build our team.”

This market remains strong nationwide. The home improvement market in the United States is large, driven in part by homeowners investing in upgrades that prioritize functionality, storage efficiency, and long-term livability. Within this broader landscape, home organization continues to rank among the faster-growing segments in the remodeling category, reflecting a continued shift toward more intentional use of residential space.

According to the International Franchise Association’s 2026 outlook, Maryland ranks highly for franchise growth, underscoring the region’s potential and making the Baltimore metro area a notable location for business activity.

Closets by Design, a franchise specializing in custom storage solutions for residential and commercial spaces, provides franchisees with a structured business model, training, and ongoing operational support. For the Coffeys, that system was a factor in their decision to pursue this venture.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jessica and Nathan Coffey to the Closets by Design family,” said Jerry Egner, President of Closets by Design. “Their professional experience, commitment to customer service, and passion for creating functional, well-designed spaces make them a strong fit for our brand as we continue to expand our presence in the Baltimore metro area.”
