UTICA — A local Ziebart franchise formally opened its new “superstore” at 1430 Oriskany St. West in Utica on Oct. 4, when the business held a ribbon-cutting event with the Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce.
The Lester family (Rich, Dave, and Max) have operated Ziebart franchise stores for 44 years and have locations in Syracuse, Cicero, Binghamton, and Albany, according to a news release from the Greater Utica Chamber. The owners relocated experienced operational and management staff from the Syracuse Ziebart store and also hired local talent from the Utica area to staff the new location.
The Utica store carries the full Ziebart product line, including ceramic z-gloss coatings, rust protection and undercoating services, paint protection film, auto detailing, and truck accessories.
Ziebart, founded in 1959, has a worldwide network of 950 service centers in 33 countries, including about 400 franchise locations, according to its corporate website.
