Most of them are trying to get that quick jump in the Landscaping business but have no idea how to keep a customer. they are in turnover not keeping them.

There is a chance that I may like the food or will not.

Thing is when I drive by McDonalds I know the food will be of poor quailty. So I will keep on driving.

But the problem is that MILLIONs of other people have pulled in to McDonalds. So even with poor quality their business model works for their target market.

Agreed there is something to be said for a name. many people just go for the name as they are familiar with it and figure they must be good becuase the name has been around for a while.

I just do not think it is worth the price many ask for when you are making or breaking the name for them. I work hard and give good quality finished jobs. I also do not want to be huge. I guess if you are looking to grow massively then a franchise may be the way to go up front.

Weedman had their signs in a yard next to one that I mow. I do not treat yards, but wow....their yard has never looked worse after they treated it for a season or so. Not sure if it was the franchise's fault, or the guy who they sent out, or both.
