NERD FORCE SIGNS 13 NEW LAS VEGAS TERRITORIES
Nerd Force Franchise Company ('NFFC'), the wholly owned subsidiary of Nexus
Management, is pleased to announce the signing of 13 new franchise territories
in Las Vegas and the Henderson cities of Clark County, Nevada. This follows on
from the previous official announcement in April 2009 of the launch of Nerd
Force in Mississippi and the recent start of Nerd Force in Canada, bringing
the total number of franchise territories sold to in excess of 180 (25 of which
are currently active). Having begun with one franchise territory in July 2008,
the Board believes Nerd Force is one of the fastest growing IT franchise models
of its kind.
Jean Weckhorst, Assistant Financial Controller for MGM Las Vegas, who has over
20 years experience managing the accounts of casinos, and Peter Weckhorst, Sales
and Marketing Executive for Marriott Group, are the new franchisees.
The Weckhorst family started a HobbyTown USA franchise in Las Vegas in 1991 -
which became the leading Group store for over a decade, gross sales in its
second year exceeded $1 million, shattering previous sales records by over 100%
and setting the standard for all HobbyTown franchises.
Jean and Peter Weckhorst, the new franchisees, are long time Las Vegas residents
and Peter commented: "I have been passionate about computers every since I took
my first programming course in 1980. Jean and I believe that this is an
opportunity which we cannot possibly pass up - it is the perfect time to be
developing a managed services offering for small businesses and Nerd Force is a
great brand with which to do it."
Boris Adlam, Nerd Force President, commented: "We are very excited to welcome
our new franchisees Peter and Jean. Together they form a dream team - Jean,
with her financial controller expertise, and Peter, with his sales and marketing
background, are the perfect combination to start a franchise in such an
important city as Las Vegas. On top of that, a passion for computers which
stretches back almost 30 years, makes them very well suited to this business -
this bodes well for the development of Nerd Force across Nevada."
