When we say The Franklin Chauffeur displays professionalism, reliability and friendliness, it's more than just a slogan. It's in our DNA. The Franklin Chauffeur was launched by Benjamin Franklin Rigney 17 years ago, his last of four successful companies. His secret? Mr. Rigney loved hard work and people. After the passing of Mr. Rigney, his then President/Owner felt the time had come to pass on the legacy of their company to a dear friend. This brings us to present day. Linda approached Mr. Shoats and asked if he would assume the legacy of Franklin Chauffeur. Linda knew if Franklin Chauffeur and Xquisite merged, it would be a great opportunity for both companies to continue to serve our esteemed clientele.
Today, Mr Rigney's legacy is carried on by Mr. Anthony Shoats CEO/Founder of Xquisite Transportation established in 2005. Mr Shoats's vision has always been to put Customer Service Excellence back in the forefront of Private Chauffeured Car Service. Mr Shoats has now merged two great companies to continue Mr. Rigney’s dream into the future. Mr. Rigney's thriving chauffeured service dream and Mr Shoats dream are now one.
