76 Fence, the fence solutions franchise, is enjoying growth in multiple Southeast markets.
The latest addition to the franchise is in Coastal Carolina, North Carolina. There, regional entrepreneurs Philip and Candace Hixon are introducing 76 Fence to the community.
This follows last month’s openings in Mt. Juliet and Hendersonville, where Josh and Deana Persons launched two new 76 Fence locations.
In Coastal Carolina, Candace Hixon brings over 16 years of experience in customer service, having worked as a dedicated library staff member serving local communities. Philip Hixon has 14 years of experience as an MRI, CT, and X-ray technologist and five years as an imaging supervisor.
“We believe our combined skills in customer service and operations management will allow us to provide a seamless, customer-focused experience,” said Candace Hixon. “We’re not just selling fences; we’re building relationships within our community.”
The new Coastal Carolina 76 Fence locations will cater to both residential and commercial clients, offering a range of high-quality fencing options tailored to customer needs through a virtual office. The company said that demand for fencing solutions is at an all-time high due to an expanding community.
“Our goal is to be the go-to fencing company in Coastal Carolina,” said Candace. “We want our customers to know they are working with a team that truly cares about their needs.”
The opening in Coastal Carolina arrives after the opening of franchise locations in North Charlotte and Concord, North Carolina in December, led by franchise owner and regional developer Drew Myers.
In Tennessee, 76 Fence now has four locations operating in the Greater Nashville area and has plans for further expansion statewide. For Begley, his locations extend beyond business activities.
“We’re not just building fences—we’re building relationships, trust, and a business that my family and neighbors can be proud of,” said Begley. “The warm welcome we’ve received reaffirms our mission to provide superior service while actively supporting our local schools, youth sports, and community initiatives.”
The grand opening event featured a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, networking opportunities with local officials and business leaders, and a community celebration with refreshments.
Also in attendance were Josh and Deana Persons, 76 Fence regional developers for Tennessee and owners of franchises in South Nashville and West Nashville.
“This grand opening is an exciting milestone, not just for Andrew, but for the 76 Fence brand as we continue to grow across Tennessee and expand throughout the country,” said Josh Persons. “Our focus remains on delivering top-tier craftsmanship, customer service, and community engagement, and we’re thrilled to see that vision come to life in Mt. Juliet and Hendersonville.”
76 Fence currently has 10 locations in North Carolina, Tennessee, and the Chicagoland market with 6 other locations in development. This includes three locations in the greater Houston, Texas market.
