Kurt Lewis, Badkhan Entertainment Group’s principal, commented, “As a 20-year veteran of the custom A/V market, I have long been interested in owning my own custom A/V business. Theater Xtreme employs the turnkey approach that is necessary for running a successful franchise business. I believe in the Company’s model and I look forward to being a part of Theater Xtreme’s nationwide growth and store expansion.”
“Kurt is a natural fit as a franchisee,” said Theater Xtreme’s President and Chief Operating Officer Ken Warren. “His background, focus, and deep understanding of the A/V industry are assets that will take him far with Theater Xtreme and help our Company grow.”
Lewis has held various sales and installation management positions in the A/V industry.
