After decades of business success, Kathryn Boyd could have chosen to rest on her laurels and enjoy an early retirement. Instead she is opening a new painting franchise, Fresh Coat Painters of Lancaster, Pa., to promote professional painting services within her community.
It’s not the first time she’s been a woman in a male-dominated field. When she found herself as a single mother of two, Boyd knew she needed a better-paying position than her teaching job. She started work in a business brokerage house before becoming one of the first women to attain a license for the coupon company that later became Valpak, one of the most successful franchises in the country.
