Bringing Corporate Firepower
Back to Main Street
Bag Carriers was founded on a simple observation: the strategic expertise, enterprise tools, and execution capability that help large companies dominate their markets are almost entirely inaccessible to the independent businesses that need them most. The playing field isn't level — and it isn't accidental.
We exist to change that. Bag Carriers brings the same caliber of strategic thinking, vetted solutions, and hands-on execution to local and independent businesses that national chains take for granted. We carry the operational weight so business owners can focus on what they actually built their business to do.
Frank Lechner spent over a decade on the inside — building new revenue channels, opening new markets, and delivering results for major companies across telecom, industrial technology, and enterprise SaaS. He learned exactly how the machine works. How enterprise pricing is structured. What solutions actually cost to build versus what they cost independent businesses who buy through the wrong channel.
He got tired of feeding it.
The same machine that quietly consolidates every local market. The same one that locks independent owners into contracts they can’t escape and support that vanishes after the signature. Frank started Bag Carriers to put that knowledge to work for the other side of the table — the restaurant owner, the trades business, the gym, the small employer trying to do right by their team.
Main Street isn’t losing because local businesses aren’t good enough. It’s losing because nobody’s carrying their weight. That’s what we’re here to fix.
