"The
opportunity
to go
into
business
with my
brother
is
something
we have
talked
about
for
years
but
never
found
the
right
fit.
That is
we
started
searching
franchise
opportunities
and
found
Navis,"

ready
the
moment
we
opened
our
warehouse",

Mike
Evans.
"When we
were
awarded
a Navis

we were
excited
about
how our
business
will
positively
impact
the
Omaha
market
for
consumers
and
businesses
that
have
goods
that
need to
be
shipped
down the
street,
across
the
country,
or
around
the
world",
said
Doug
Evans.
"We were
excited
to award
a
franchise
to the
Evans
brothers.
We
believe
they
possess
the
determination
and
business
tenacity
that has
been the
foundation
of the
Navis
organization.
They are
hard
working
and
determined
to be
successful
business
owner"
stated

Blakeley,
