Hear From Our Incredible Owners
Uptown has a terrifically vibrant and collaborative community of franchisees that offers another layer of connection and support.
Justin Crump
Multi-Unit Franchise Owner in Utah
Compared to the other brands, BaseCamp’s support is second to none. The training was phenomenal, from the operations team getting me up to speed on how to run a store to the marketing team teaching me how to grow the business. It has been endlessly helpful, and the other franchisees have been very supportive.
Tucker Mulvihill
Franchise Owner in Texas
We bought into Uptown because we believed in the system of reuse and recycle. Having a corporate office behind you gives you incredible peace of mind. The relationships we have built nationwide with other owners have also been priceless. We’ve learned so much and our lives have been enriched immensely.
Shannon Person

The whole concept is well thought out. The support is also fantastic. You can make a phone call and talk to whoever you want to. They look over your numbers and call you, it’s like they know your problems before you even ask them for help.
