Caty Witt is a multi-unit PostNet franchise owner from Bakersfield, California. She started working in the shipping and printing industry at just 17 years old and quickly discovered her passion for business ownership.

After earning her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Caty purchased her first PostNet location in 2020. Since then, she’s expanded with a second Bakersfield location in 2022 and most recently acquired two additional stores in Buckeye, Arizona in 2025.

Franchise ownership has given Caty the opportunity to build a successful business while staying rooted in her values. She’s especially passionate about supporting children in her community.

As a mom of two, Caty works closely with local foster care organizations to provide resources and raise awareness. She’s a previous foster parent and currently serves on the board for a local foster agency.

For Caty, PostNet has been more than a business, it’s a way for her to have the work life balance she wants and give back.

Fran Tarkenton/Tarkenton Companies

Founder

Fran Tarkenton knows better than most what it takes to succeed in a competitive arena. As one of the NFL’s all-time great competitors, he was inducted into the National Football League and Collegiate Football Halls of Fame and was an All-American athlete at the University of Georgia. As quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, Fran took his team to the 1973, 1974 and 1976 Super Bowls. He set the all-time NFL passing records for touchdowns (342), yards (47,003) and completions. Those records stood for 17 years.

Fran has taken the lessons learned on the field to become a successful, hands-on entrepreneur, building more than 20 companies during and after his NFL career, the largest reaching revenues of $142 million. At age 75, Fran continues to advise and support small businesses. In partnership with the University of Georgias Terry College of Business, Fran recently launched the Tarkenton Certificate in Entrepreneurship, a comprehensive online education program teaching entrepreneurs everything they need to start a new business and operate an existing business more effectively.

Kevin Center/Postnet

Owner/operator

Atlanta native Kevin Center’s “aha” moment came about 18 months ago while listening to a speaker regale a crowd with the last words of a beloved mentor: “I’ve made millions of dollars, and I’ve achieved a wonderful title. But I look back and ask, ‘What was it all for?’ I didn’t spend enough time with my family. I didn’t have the deep friendships that I should have. I did great in the business world, but at what cost?”

Center isn’t about to make the same mistake. As the new PostNet area developer for greater Atlanta, Center does have ambitious plans to open his own center and help cultivate the PostNet brand in this hotbed of growth: Center wants to see 25-30 centers in the Metro Atlanta region in the next 10-12 years. But his ultimate goal in helping Atlanta small business owners isn’t about fame and fortune, but instead to achieve the flexibility and financial stability that will allow him to attend piano recitals and Little League baseball games — and to help other entrepreneurs achieve the same thing.

“If I have my center staffed appropriately, and if I have the ability to trust my managers, I will have the freedom to do what I need to do — or not even what I need to do — but what I like to do,” he says.
