Everything Party...and we love it! Welcome! Hi I'm Steve Cody, the President and Founder of Cody Party Centre. Thank you for your interest in our business. I first discoved the Party Industry while taking a year off to spend with my family, after selling our previous equipment rental buiness to Hertz Equipment Rentals. My mother was getting married and we had to find party rentals and party supplies. We ended up driving all over town and going to several different places to have our needs met. Throughout this process, what stood out to me, was the opportunity to create a one stop Party Store that was easy to find and part of a community. Our goal from the very begining was to create a succesful formula that would offer the same opportunity for others to be part of a fun and very rewarding business. After 10 years of experience and really getting to know the business, we are ready to share what we have with others. We have created a very profitable formula and have also spent the last three years completing our CEO Business Management Software. If you see yourself as the type of person that enjoys working with others; you want to build your own business, but still want to make it home for dinner most nights, then what follows will show you what makes Cody Party Centre the best franchise in the party industry. Celebrate Life! Steve Cody
