Fireside Chat: Tyler & Zach Gordon – From Wall Street to Main Street

  • Edison House 335 S 200 W Salt Lake City UT 84101 USA (map)

The Durable Small Business Series presents a Fireside Chat with Zach and Tyler Gordon, Co-CEOs of BaseCamp Franchising.

These brothers made a bold leap from high-level finance—Zach from Restaurant Brands International and Tyler from Apollo Global Management—into the world of resale franchising.

Now, they’re leading Kid to Kid and Uptown Cheapskate, two of the largest clothing resale brands in the US — right here in Utah.

In this fireside chat, they’ll share their journey from private equity to building a fast-growing franchise empire. Expect insights into how they’ve streamlined operations, redefined secondhand clothing, and turned sustainability into a business advantage. Zach and Tyler will also dig into the challenges of scaling a business with 200+ locations across multiple countries.

Whether you’re interested in franchising, resale, or making bold career pivots, this conversation will be packed with real-world lessons and actionable insights.
