Overhead Door of Tampa Bay – A Local Small Business with National Recognition By Deborah Bostock-Kelley
Though Overhead Door is a name that has national recognition and a legacy spanning 98 years from C.G. Johnson, inventor of the first overhead door and its name, Overhead Door of Tampa Bay is not a franchise. The family-owned and operated distribution company is a locally-owned small business and covers Hillsborough County and beyond. Based upon historic yellow page ads, Overhead Door of Tampa Bay began in
1950. In 1992, president and owner Bob Briesacher took over the business, and in 2004, he built the current 20,000 sq. Ft. warehouse location nestled at the end of Ann Ballard Road in Tampa to service residential and commercial clients. “We are locally-owned and nationally-supported, so you support a local business that has longevity when you work with us,” said Krystal Blais, marketing manager. “We’re here to help our customers.”
