In a constantly evolving market, building a business that can weather economic shifts, industry changes, and unforeseen challenges is more critical than ever. This month’s StartUp Fayette session will focus on Building a Resilient Business Model, providing attendees with strategies to future-proof their business and maintain long-term stability and growth.

Our topic expert is Barry Falcon, Chief of Franchise Development at Conquer Padel Club. With over 20 years of experience in franchising—as a franchisee, investor, and franchisor—Barry brings deep insight into what it takes to build and sustain scalable business models.

Barry co-founded ShelfGenie Franchise Systems, growing the company from the ground up to more than 160 locations before its acquisition by Neighborly in 2020. He also served as CEO and Partner of Concrete Craft, where he led a successful restructure and sale of the company, improving system-wide revenue by over 20% in just one year. In addition to his leadership roles, Barry has worked as a business coach and directed large-scale manufacturing operations, bringing a wealth of practical experience across industries.

Attendees will learn practical strategies for strengthening the core of their business, identifying vulnerabilities, and positioning themselves for growth—no matter what the future holds. This session is ideal for entrepreneurs, business owners, and startup leaders who want to build businesses that last.
