One of the original 10 Budget Blinds franchises, the Salt Lake City location opened in 1994. Run by Lindsay's Fekitoa's grandparents and mother, their location focused primarily on delivering blinds to customers' homes in Salt Lake and Davis Counties. "We were one of the first 10 original Budget Blinds franchises and the first one in Utah," said Lindsay, co-owner of the franchise. In 2021, Lindsay and her husband, Efi, took over the franchise and the business model has expanded to offering shutters, drapes, shades, and more. With just 8 employees, the Budget Blinds team is busy. Keeping up with customer communication was a challenge before Podium.
