GEARHART – Each week, Undercover Boss, CBSs popular reality TV show, follows a different executive as they leave the comfort of their corner office to examine the inner workings of their companies in a roll-up-your-sleeves environment. On April 13, Chad Hallock, CEO of Budget Blinds, steps up to the plate in what is sure to be an entertaining and enlightening experience. The episode will feature Chad trading in his suit for a Budget Blinds polo shirt as he works hands on in the window covering manufacturing process and then goes door to door, taking part in customer consultations and product installations.

In 1992, Chad co-founded Budget Blinds with his brother and three close friends with no more than a smile on his face and $5000 in his pocket. Today, the company has grown to become the largest window coverings franchise in North America. Budget Blinds now finds itself invaluably positioned in a multi-billion dollar industry that is expected to grow by 6% in the coming years. From blinds to shutters, drapes to shades, Budget Blinds is a one-stop source for a homeowners window covering needs. The company celebrates its 20th anniversary this year so the timing couldnt be better to commemorate this achievement by participating in Undercover Boss!

Although Chad began on the front lines, his years behind the desk are sure to make an impact on his performance on the show. When I was approached with the opportunity, I took it without hesitation, Chad said. To be able to work with the franchisees that have made this company a success was something I could not pass up – even though I havent taken part in an in-home consultation or installed a blind in quite some time!

Across the country, Budget Blinds franchisees are notably excited about the national exposure Undercover Boss will bring, and about the valuable experiences Chad will undoubtedly have. Not only is this a great opportunity to help grow our individual franchises, its a great opportunity for the company as a whole, said Madelyn Harris of Budget Blinds Of the Oregon Coast. Being on Undercover Boss will give Chad valuable insight into franchisee day to day operations that he is sure to incorporate into all future communications and initiatives. Madelyn added.
