Ray Muncy

Ray Muncy is an Operating Partner with TryBudCo, LLC, a multi-unit Buddy's Home Furnishings franchise group operating across Georgia. Ray's rent-to-own career spans nearly four decades, beginning in Columbus, Georgia in 1987. Over the years he has held virtually every role in the industry — field operator, credit manager, general manager, district manager, regional manager, and director of franchise operations. After what he thought might be the end of his RTO career, he discovered Buddy's franchise opportunity, which re-ignited his passion for the business and led him to franchise ownership. Ray credits Buddy's structured "Playbook" system as a key driver of his multi-unit growth and continues to expand his footprint across the state with plans for up to eight locations.
