Korn is a second generation Safeguard franchisee carrying on a service tradition spanning 35+ years in southern Arizona while Mann has carved out her own significant market share as a woman-owned small business since 1993. Mann, together with her colleagues Jennifer Hager and Pat Gallaty-Fisler, look forward to joining Korn and their administrative support team at 5656 E. Grant Rd Suite 100 for a seamless transition.
