Budget Blinds Has New Ownership
Mike and Adriane Wonderlin are the new owners of Budget Blinds of North Tampa, Land O Lakes and Brandon. After working for Budget Blinds for 10 years, Mike and his wife purchased the three Tampa-area franchises from the previous owners.
The Budget Blinds showroom that serves Brandon and the surrounding areas is in Riverview at 10437 Gibsonton Dr. They have a second showroom in Tampa, on Fletcher Ave. in Tampa.
Mike moved to Florida to work for Budget Blinds about 10 years ago. At that time, he had already been in the window treatment industry for eight years and was looking to get away from the cold Illinois winters. He took a Design Consultant position in Tampa and worked for the previous owners, The Trotters.
As the business grew, Mike helped to hire and train all the new employees. Eventually expanding to 27 employees and two showrooms, the company had continued to put people first. The majority of employees have stayed with Budget Blinds for five plus years.
the Trotters became grandparents and decided to retire, and approached Mike about buying the business.
Founded in 1992, Budget Blinds today has more than 1100 franchises in the US and Canada and has served Tampa Bay for almost 25 years. Adriane comes from a background in Retail Management, most recently running the Florida Market for Vans (VF Corp). She has an extensive background in Customer Service, HR and Operations that has made this transition to Budget Blinds go smoothly.
Showroom hours are Monday to Friday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday’s 10 a.m.-3 p.m. To schedule a complimentary appointment in home consultation, call 445-7121. Visit BudgetBlinds.com/Brandon.
