CLEVELAND – Weed Man USA, a franchised lawn care company, reached the $100-million revenue milestone in the United States alone. With systems in place that are designed to create multiple advancement opportunities for franchisees and their employees, Weed Man has experienced year-over-year growth.
Since January, Weed Man USA expanded into 21 new territories, and the franchise has now established itself in 520-plus territories throughout the U.S. It has also grown almost 12 percent in 2017 and is projected to continue growing at a similar rate in 2018.
The company attributes some of its growth to its Weed Man USA apprenticeship program. The program teaches owners and employees to work on themselves as well as teach those who are following in their footsteps. The program has allowed Weed Man employees from a range of backgrounds to manage and/or own a Weed Man business.
“Our franchisees see potential in all types of people – even those who may not display the ‘typical’ traits of business leaders, but who have true determination and spirit. We invest in programs that allow our franchisees to provide opportunities for these promising individuals to grow and develop,” said Jennifer Lemcke, COO of Weed Man USA.
After reaching the $100 million milestone, Weed Man USA is looking forward to attending GIE+EXPO Oct. 19-20 in Louisville, Kentucky. At the event, individuals will have the opportunity to meet with the Weed Man corporate team as well as various franchisees from the Weed Man USA system.
“We’re looking for potential franchisees that can contribute to our winning culture, and represent the Weed Man USA brand in a positive way,” said Lemcke, noting plentiful room for additional Weed Man franchise territories nationwide.
