What Businesses are Saying

“Like many privately owned businesses in Georgia and across the United States, Guardian Centers was significantly impacted by the COVID virus in China and subsequent global pandemic. Fortunately GC was able to remain open due to the necessary training requirements of our clients, and the fortitude of our employees.

In 2011 I had options to establish the GC campus in a number of other locations in the Southeast, however it was immediately apparent that Perry and Middle Georgia are wonderful locations to do business, raise a family and develop friendships. Guardian Centers is very proud to be a supportive member of the community”.

"From our first move to Perry in 2012 to our expansion into a retail boutique on Carroll Street in 2015, this community continues to amaze me. In the past five years alone, we have seen a 15% growth rate in sales. We attribute this to the excellent development of downtown events while attracting our customers to enjoy this beautiful city. COVID impacted everyone, but this community is super supportive of the small businesses here. Due to this, we expanded again! We are excited to be a part of such a wonderful community!"
