Jim's everywhere
Hi
anyone heard of Jim's Mowing, Jim's Paving, Jim's Fencing Jim's etc. etc....
We are really keen on a lifestyle change and are thinking of franchising via Jim's something .. just wondering if anyone else has done any research / got any opinions ?

Others to consider are VIP Home Services, the people we bought our house off had a VIP franchise & seem to have done well FWIW. But there are heaps of others out there as well.
I have absolutely no idea on whether franchises are a good deal or not, only trying to give you an idea on exposure in the market. Their catchphrase in their ads is "call your local Jim".
Would be OK, as long as you were called Jim!??

Lots of Jim's frachises available, it started out with just mowing & has grown. They do a fair amount of advertising, on TV etc so you get quite a bit of exposure that way.
