76 FENCE officially launched its first Georgia franchise locations on Friday, August 8, with a ribbon-cutting celebration in Kennesaw, marking the brand’s entrance into the
state and the beginning of its broader expansion plan. The event was attended by friends, family, and local business stakeholders who gathered to commemorate the milestone and show support for Georgia Regional Developer and franchise owner Carl van der Horst.
A seasoned corporate leader and longtime Georgia resident, van der Horst opened the brand’s first two locations in Kennesaw and Alpharetta and will lead the charge in developing additional territories throughout the state.
“Friday’s grand opening was more than just a celebration; it was a statement that we’re here, we’re ready, and we’re committed to serving Georgia communities with professionalism and purpose,” said van der Horst. “It means the world to have such strong support from my family, friends, and local partners. We’re just getting started.”
The ribbon cutting in Kennesaw marks a significant step in 76 FENCE’s national expansion. Since launching its franchise program in late 2023, the company has established territories in Illinois, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. With Georgia now officially open, additional territories throughout the state are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
