His dedication to quality and customer satisfaction quickly set him apart, and the business began to grow . In 2017, Armor Tough moved from White Lake to Grand Blanc as the home base . In 2023, the company expanded to serve the greater Detroit metro area, establishing a larger shop in Burton, Michigan .
