In just under seven years. Painting with a Twist has licensed 260 franchised studios in 33 states, with 50 more to open by the end of the year. Painting with a Twist was awarded the Chamber's Tammany Award in January 2015.

Pauline & Stephen Patterson were born in Belfast and connected with the culture of New Orleans when they arrived in the '90's. They bought a worn-out old bar and turned it into Finn McCool's Irish Pub. They re-opened six months after Hurricane Katrina. The bar has become a major part of the Mid City community and won awards for "Best Bartender in New Orleans" every year since re-opening along with "Best Neighborhood Bar." The Pub is named for Finn McCool, the legendary giant of Irish folklore. The Irish Times named Finn's as one of the top 10 Irish Pubs outside Ireland.
