LOCATION:
HYBRID MEETING - CCY & Virtual Meeting on Zoom
PROGRAM:
Inch & Company - In 1994, John Inch, Sr. needed to find a way to escape poverty while raising four children and supporting his family. He launched a small business called John’s Landscaping. As John’s children grew, they helped their dad with the business and John’s Landscaping went from a side hustle to a full-time business. After graduating from high school, John Inch, Jr. and brother Jeff started their own landscaping business called Inch’s Landscaping, and two years later the boys bought out their dad and merged to become Inch & Co. Since then, Inch & Co. has grown into a lifestyle company with multiple divisions including landscaping, construction, real estate, development, and property management. The Inch brothers will share the story of Inch & Co., talk about their growth, growing pains, and successes and touch on a few notable projects in our local market.
