Rags To Riches Businessman Shares Success Story

Bill McCauley and his wife are the brains behind

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- A once broke builder, is now a Franklin business owner posting a profit, supervising happy employees, paying his workers like nobody else in the state, and even giving to charity.

Bill McCauley's Williamson County warehouse is about as massive as his generosity, but his super successful "Logo Chair Company."

Their company offers up to 200 college emblems from divisions one and two. McCauley said they started from meager beginnings.

"Oh yeah, we've been broke a couple times in our life. We actually were quite poor when we got started. Actually used to live in government housing when I had two kids, so," said McCauley.

McCauley and his wife are the brains behind "Logo," one of the country's top five suppliers of collegiate "non-apparel" products. It's only a warehouse, but Saturday Logo opened its doors to customers who, even in the worst of times, are ready to "sit the bench."

"We got a couple tailgate games for the Vanderbilt and Alabama games.. uh, for my son in laws. I got my son-in-law a Detroit Tiger tent for over his head. I mean, he's going to be thrilled," said Peggy Love, Columbia Resident and Logo Warehouse Shopper.

Logo employees say it feels like family there.  "It's only like a handful of us here, so.. we all know each other. We all hang out with each other outside of work. So, that's the best thing about it," said Tovarus Williams, Logo Warehouse Employee.

The owner of "LOGO" says he'll donate some money he made Saturday and even some left over merchandise to charity.
