More than a decade ago, Kathy Gannon went through some downsizing in the automotive industry but she wasn\u2019t ready to retire. <\/strong><\/p>\n

She\u2019d always been \u201ca t-shirt person\u201d and quite crafty so, in researching various franchise opportunities, Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More caught her eye. She felt it was a business that blended something fun with her interest in design plus the \u201cdaytime\u201d business model kept her nights and weekends largely free for her family. So, in December 2009 she made what amounted to a leap of faith and signed on the dotted line. In July 2010, she opened her shop in Murfreesboro, one of the first few shops in the Big Frog franchise system.<\/p>\n

Located in a busy shopping location with restaurants including Bonefish Grill and Chop House as well as other destination shops and even a hospital nearby, the site has proven to offer good traffic and visibility in a fast-growing area. It\u2019s been a rewarding site and good for business.<\/p>\n

Mother-Daughter Entrepreneurs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Carly was just a teenager when Kathy opened Big Frog and would come in after school. She was really good at the design, Kathy says. Although she graduated from Middle Tennessee in Murfreesboro, Carly did not study art\u2026she picked up the design expertise all by personal study.<\/p>\n

Now, Carly is poised to take over the shop when her mom retires.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t one of those parents who forced decisions on their kids \u2013 I really wanted to let Carly do what she wanted,\u201d Kathy said. \u201cWhile it wasn\u2019t the plan to pass down the business at first, it\u2019s turned out to be really nice that we can work with each other now so she can comfortably learn all the aspects of the business and effortlessly step in when the time is right.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mother-daughter entrepreneurs say they have their challenges in working together, just like anybody else, but they\u2019ve found it\u2019s helped them to grow closer.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou may not have time to talk at home, but you can while you\u2019re in the shop as long as you don\u2019t have a rush of customers,\u201d Kathy smiled.<\/p>\n

Giving Back to Murfreesboro<\/h2>\n

Kathy says one of the more surprisingly gratifying aspects of owning her own Big Frog shop is the opportunity to help area folks with fundraising. All sorts of churches, schools, and other non-profits benefit from Big Frog\u2019s online t-shirt fundraisers and she gets to be in on the design and production fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe community giveback<\/a> is a part of the business I never expected but I am so in favor of it,\u201d Kathy said. \u201cEspecially recently with COVID and a lot of the devastation the last couple of years, we could really help out. And that feels good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kathy also takes pride in their efforts to support veterans and first responders in their small community. Big Frog of Murfreesboro has printed custom t-shirts for the Police Department in Murfreesboro, the Fire Departments in Murfreesboro and Shelbyville, and the Woodbury Ambulance Service. “We support our veterans through donations to the Woodbury Lions Club,” she says. The local t-shirt printer also prints t-shirts for Memorial Day horse rides and horse shows. As a horse-loving community, these horse rides are a big thing for the Murfreesboro community.<\/p>\n

Big Frog is a Family Affair<\/h3>\n

While there\u2019s precious little downtime after work, Kathy does dream of learning to paint. For Carly, she\u2019s currently busy completing an interim position on the Woodbury School Board and will be on the ballot in August. Between budget meetings and keeping technology certifications on track in several different fields (mechanics, design, cosmetology, etc.), Carly doesn\u2019t have much free time either.<\/p>\n

But the mother-daughter entrepreneurs, along with Tim (Kathy\u2019s husband\/Carly\u2019s dad) and a family friend, Jr. Brandon, took apart an old cabin log by log and painstakingly reassembled it in the woods sprawling behind their Woodbury home. And this is no mere smear cabin \u2013 the two floors boast an upstairs bedroom and bathroom and downstairs is a family room. The team worked meticulously to design and decorate it over the last two years and you could say it was their personal getaway project.<\/p>\n

The close-knit family is devoted to the Woodbury and Murfreesboro communities and is active in their local church. Kathy also serves on the Board of the Woodbury Day School and the Center of Hope. Kathy is also a member of the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce and the Cannon County Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n
