United Franchise Group™ (UFG), a global leader in franchising, has announced the acquisition of Black Optix Tint, a fast-growing auto styling and window tinting franchise. The brand joins UFG’s Starpoint Brands™ division, further strengthening its portfolio of innovative and high-performing franchise concepts.
The addition of Black Optix Tint marks a strategic move in UFG’s continued expansion into emerging markets with strong consumer demand and scalable business models. Known for its expertise in vehicle styling, tinting, and customization, the brand brings a fresh category to the UFG network while complementing Starpoint Brands’ existing lineup.
Randal Moore, President of Black Optix Tint, shared his enthusiasm about joining UFG, noting that the partnership represents an ideal alignment of values and vision. “I’m thrilled to be part of the UFG and Starpoint Brands family,” said Moore, who will remain actively involved with the brand. “They have so much experience and so many resources to support us, but more importantly, they truly understand the entrepreneur’s experience and believe their success comes from our success. Joining them was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever made.”
Moore first began working with Accurate Franchising, Inc. (AFI)—another UFG brand—in 2023. Through that collaboration, he was introduced to Ray Titus, Founder and CEO of UFG, who recognized the franchise’s growth potential and strong business foundation. “With its incredible growth, dedication to quality and value, and firm roots in the community, Black Optix Tint is a strong addition to the UFG ecosystem, and we’re proud to welcome Randal to our team,” said Titus. “They bring something unique that we haven’t offered before, while perfectly complementing our existing Starpoint Brands portfolio and aligning with our belief in delivering top-notch products with unmatched customer service.”
This acquisition underscores UFG’s ongoing strategy of supporting entrepreneurs and expanding its family of brands into dynamic, high-demand industries. With the backing of UFG’s global resources and decades of franchising expertise, Black Optix Tint is poised for accelerated growth and long-term success.
