The Queensbury ColorTyme is owned by Tom Glogowski with business partner, Tom Neyhart.

Neyhart, along with his wife Lisa, pledged earlier this year to develop six partnerships with newcomers over the next 12 years (see story). Their partnership with Glogowski is the first of the six. As a franchise owner, Neyhart said he is always looking for employees that exhibit leadership qualities and can be guided into store ownership.

ColorTyme is running promotions encouraging community support of the The Open Door Soup Kitchen. Customers bringing a non-perishable food item to their location get registered to win prizes and receive ½ off a first month’s rental.

The promotion also reaches out to local racing fans. The first 95 families that go to the local ColorTyme and mention one of two radio spots (listen: Spot 1, Spot 2) will receive four free tickets to the Albany Saratoga Speedway Annual Halloween Havoc.
