Why are there so many lawn care companies? Drive through a neighborhood and you’ll see 7 different companies mowing lawns despite the fact these people are all neighbors. There are low barriers to entry, but how do new, small lawn care companies continue to pop up and survive? 1️⃣ Personalized service The small companies need great customer support, and they need to be attentive and listen to customer pain points. What does the customer care about most — price, quality, consistency? Being able to adapt to a customer is a benefit that the standardized franchises may not be able to offer. 2️⃣ Cost Speaking of having benefits over a larger franchise — the smaller companies are usually much more cost effective for customers. Small companies typically have lower overheads, no franchise fees, and likely fewer marketing costs. This means they can offer a lower rate. 3️⃣ Locality Small companies may have the ability to hyper focus on a small, local area. The larger franchise doesn’t always have a stronghold on the area, which can allow a smaller company to use their local knowledge and word of mouth marketing to their advantage. Larger franchises and other big lawn care companies may offer added assurance in the form of money back guarantees, communications, and reliability. But this is what makes the personal touch and customer service that much more essential for the small company. Do you prefer to hire the small, local company or the franchise?

Lawn Doctor is a low-cost lawncare franchise that has an initial investment cost less than $150k.

And if you own 7+ territories you're looking at $3.7 million in sales. Would you ever consider investing in a low-cost franchise like this?

Bar-B-Clean provides services like cleaning barbecues, fixing parts, and selling new grills. They promote a healthy lifestyle for families and lead in the barbecue cleaning industry. Their company began in 2012 when their founder needed his grill cleaned and found few options. Instead of using the one available service, he started his own. It was a success, so he offered franchises in 2014 and has grown since. Bar-B-Clean is a mobile service that cleans your barbecue at home. It's a job many need but often avoid, similar to window or carpet cleaning. Anyone with a grill can use our service. If a grill isn't cleaned by an expert in six months, it can get harmful buildup from old food and pests. This is risky. We also serve homeowner associations, apartment complexes, offices, hotels, and Airbnb's. This gives our franchise owners more ways to expand. They're one of the fastest growing home service franchises because they have low investment costs, little competition, low overhead, big territories, a simple model, and flexible hours. Over half of their franchise owners are veterans. Their success is no shock to them. They want to partner with more vets. Bar-B-Clean gives vets a 10% discount on their franchise fees.

Curious about what our franchisees think of Parlor Doughnuts? We asked Wes and Marissa Barnes, and here's what they had to say in our #FranchiseSpotlight 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘰𝘳 𝘋𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘴 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥? We are based in Valparaiso, IN with locations in Valparaiso, Munster, and Fishers, Indiana. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘶𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘰𝘳 𝘋𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘴? Parlor's branding, aesthetic, menu offerings, and product originally attracted us to Parlor. We were specifically interested in breakfast concepts that would fill a high-end doughnut gap in the market in our hometown and Parlor fit that bill perfectly. After we spoke with the Parlor corporate team, we knew it was the right fit for us. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘦? Being a Parlor franchisee has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. We have watched the Parlor family grow from just a few franchisees to a national presence. We continue to trust more and more in the Parlor leadership team over the past several years as they have done a solid job at scaling us from 10 shops to 20 to 60.

Parlor has given us the opportunity to create a culture we are proud of - surrounded around employee appreciation, education, and mutual respect with our leaders and team members. We have utilized the Parlor brand to connect with our community in a positive way including participating in holiday toy drives, raising funds for youth athletics, supporting healthcare and education appreciation, and driving awareness for veteran and military support organizations.

A Parlor franchisee who is willing to roll up their sleeves, lift the sugar bags, take the early morning fry shift, and work alongside their crew through the fun that is opening a Parlor Doughnuts will ultimately be the most successful as they will understand the day in and day out hustle that is required to run the shop and will be able to ask their management team to fulfill that after doing it themselves. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘋𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘯𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳? Marissa's favorite is Blueberry Hill and Wes's favorite is Turtle Cheesecake #Franchising #BusinessGrowth #CommunityStrength #Networking #FranchiseSuccess

Hey all. Having returned from a very wet skiing trip to Italy, it's time to get back to work and, although I'm missing my daily Bombadino (warm advocaat, brandy and whipped cream) after a few hours trying to remember to keep my weight on my bottom ski, stand up, bend down, put my shoulders down the hill and smile.....I'm delighted to introduce you to my latest client, the most successful full-service (not just dogs) pet care franchise in the UK, We Love Pets. "But Louise, you need facts to back up a statement like that"...Indeed I do and here they are: We Love Pets has 112 franchisees covering 187 territories, blowing all their competitors out of the water. #facts So here's my first story with them. They ran an anonymous franchisee survey with some spectacular results. 91% of franchisees who responded, said they agreed or strongly agreed with the statement ‘I love being part of the We Love Pets Family.' Pretty impressive. Over the years I've written hundreds of articles about how to buy a franchise safely - and the number one piece of advice is always 'talk to the other franchisees'. Franchisees don't hold back; for better or for worse they tell it like it is. How on earth Ryan White and Jo White and their team manage to keep 112 franchisees so happy is beyond me, but what I do know is that they value transparency and straight-talking above anything, hence making the survey anonymous. Their rationale was, how could they improve if they didn't know what the problems were? A brave move and one that perfectly reflects their professionalism and why I'm so glad to be finally working with them and telling their story. Stand by for more. #franchising #franchisingstrongertogether #franchiseopportunity #client #PR #franchisePR #newbusiness

Franchisee Spotlight 💥 - Bloomin' Blinds is changing lives! Meet Dominic M. of St. Louis, MO. Before Bloomin’ Blinds, he was part owner of a trucking company. He was over working 24 hours 7days a week. Work was always on his mind and he was in a constant state of "issues" with both drivers and customers. This was leading to #burnout and propelled him to look for something that would allow him to have a more flexible schedule. Doing his due diligence, he vetted several different blind companies specifically, and ended up loving the opportunity that Bloomin’ Blinds presented. Dominic says "Now that I am fully immersed with Bloomin’, my life tends to be less stressful and the flexible schedule has allowed me to take more time for our family." Dominic is an owner/operator, currently servicing 2 territories. He launched in 2023 and is working towards scaling his business. His vision is to have 3 vans on the road within 5 years. Dominic is focused on community connections and establishing a reputation for himself. When asked what is propelling that growth, Dominic stated "For me it is all about brand recognition and I am confident my reputation and that of Bloomin' Blinds, will take me exactly where we need to go."  We will be watching your journey for sure Dominic and cheering you on all the way! Thanks again Nancy Beskar of "The You Network" for referring such a great candidate to us and helping us grow the Bloomin' footprint 👣. We appreciate you!
