Couples That Go Into Business

Love is in the air as Valentine’s Day approaches, and we’d like to put the spotlight on one of our ATC couples, Theo and Erin Unbehagen, who opened up their ATC Healthcare Services franchise at the end of 2020.

Theo and Erin met more than 20 years ago, but Erin says she was sure he was the one from the moment they met. “That night I went home and I told my mom I met my husband!” Erin said. The two married a few years later, moving from Oklahoma, to North Carolina, to Louisiana, and finally to Texas, where they live and operate their business today.

Owning a business together is something the couple had talked about for a long time before they decided to start looking for a business that fit their specific skills and needs. “We both thought it would be a great idea to have something of our own that we could build together, but it was just kind of a dream.” Theo said. “Then ATC came along, and with Erin being an RN and the way the world changed to have this need for healthcare, ATC provided for that need… it was time to sign up and go into business together.”

Though starting their business during a global pandemic has its challenges, Erin and Theo both said the support from ATC headquarters has been incredible. “ATC corporate has been great,” Theo said, “There’s a huge benefit to working with them, with the whole franchise model… that’s the benefit of franchising.”

Though Theo calls Erin “the real hero of the house,” both of them say that their favorite thing about running their ATC franchise together is the opportunity it provides for them to have a positive impact and give back to their community.

“We have an opportunity to grow something not only for our family but also to have our family grow the community,” Theo said. “We have a mechanism with this business to give back to the community.”

“We’re so new at it, but it’s exciting to think about what the future will hold for us,” Erin added. “It’s exciting to think about how big we can grow this and what it would provide for our family and our community.”
