One of the ways SpringGreen holds itself to a higher standard is by offering not only the initial support new franchise owners need, but also the ongoing assistance that allows them to succeed. Jason & Laura Vahle, owners of Green Thumb Lawn Care ‘n’ Landscape and a SpringGreen Lawn Care franchise in St. Charles, Missouri, have learned firsthand how that level of support makes a difference.
The Vahles’ business had been growing steadily since they started in 2005, but they were looking for a way to take their operation to the next level. A SpringGreen franchise seemed to be the answer—from the technology platform offered to the structure of support provided to franchise owners.
“The backbone of their networking—from the call center to the marketing infrastructure, to the digital triggers and the support staff they have in place—was all impressive,” Jason said. “To attain that ourselves, on our own, would take 30 years. We don’t want to wait 30 years. It became clear to us very quickly that SpringGreen would get us from point A to point B a lot faster.”
While the Vahles’ two companies operate independently, the buying power that SpringGreen affords them improved their bottom line almost immediately. During their first year with SpringGreen, they saved enough on products to cover their franchise fees and make a profit on material costs.
But perhaps most importantly, it is the satisfaction their customers report that has made becoming a SpringGreen franchise so beneficial. “Most customers are one-stop shoppers, so they like that we can do everything for them. It gives them peace of mind that we can now add the services that SpringGreen offers.”
