Cody Napoli
When Cody Napoli joined TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Milwaukee as a 24-year-old assistant operations manager, he had no idea he’d be opening his own franchise in Fond du Lac a mere two years later. A newsletter item about the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Moving People Forward® scholarship caught his eye, he took a chance, and the rest is history.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK founder Mary Ellen Sheets started the scholarship program to provide system managers with the chance to become franchisees in partnership with their existing franchisee. Selected managers are given the background training to become a successful TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchisee, with each candidate eligible for up to 100 percent of their franchise fee to aid in opening the new location.
“It is such an honor to be selected for this opportunity,” said Napoli. “I’ve learned a lot in my time at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Milwaukee and as part of this training. I look forward to building a positive culture and work environment in Fond du Lac. Having crews coming in every day knowing they have a manager who cares about them goes a long way.”
“Cody has shown strong initiative from the beginning,” said Lisa Paley, president, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Milwaukee, New Berlin, Racine, and Madison. “His commitment to his customers, teams, and community is truly inspiring and has paid off with this opportunity, as well as an impressive 97% customer referral rating.”
Paley and her business partner, Tim Lightner, are Napoli’s franchisee partners through the program and supported him in his application by vouching for his potential, motivation, and character.
Fond du Lac was Napoli’s first choice for where to plant his franchise. “The decision about where to plant my franchise was an important one,” he said. “I feel like Fond du Lac County is a special mix of people and businesses—a place where I can see myself living, working, and building a good life.”
“I’m a very positive person,” said Cody. “I try to enjoy the little things in life. My grandmother and I always say to each other ‘I’m here for a good time, not a long time.’ For me, it’s all about living in the present, making a positive impact, and helping people move forward positively every day.”
