Business Description
The number one and the original newborn yard display business. New mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, or any family relations want to tell the world about their new arrival. Rated in many publications as the best buy in home-operated businesses. Almost all operators are Mom's and some Mr. Mom's that don't want to have to ship their kids to day care and then go to work. With a STORK NEWS franchise, kids can go along to work, too.
