ManageMowed, a commercial landscaping management franchise, is expecting major growth in 2022.
The landscape management company opened 18 new locations in 2021 and signed 12 new franchise agreements with a mix of single-unit and multi-unit deals. As the year comes to a close, ManageMowed is now expanding its services to several new markets across the U.S., including Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, North Carolina, California and Colorado.
“This year presented our brand with the perfect opportunity to reach aspiring and experienced entrepreneurs who were looking to make a career change and set out to become their own bosses,” says Peter Roberts, co-founder of ManageMowed. “With our minimal-labor, no-equipment-needed business model, our franchisees can achieve success without compromising a work/life balance. I’m proud of all we’ve accomplished this past year and we are excited to continue building the momentum moving into 2022.”
Puneet Duggal, owner of ManageMowed’s fourth and fifth franchised locations in Spokane and Redmond, Wash., says starting the franchise was an easy transition from his career in sales and management.
“We had been in search of a franchise for over two years, and, ultimately, ManageMowed’s business model stood out to us with its low-overhead, low-liability and rapid launch,” says Duggal. “My goal was to take this business full-time, so it was important to find something I would enjoy. Even though I hadn’t worked in landscaping previously, I’ve had an easy transition and look forward to expanding our client roster in the coming year."
Unlike other commercial landscaping business models, ManageMowed’s subcontracting model allows its teams to focus on managing client relationships and a network of local owner-operator landscape vendors, instead of purchasing, storing or maintaining landscaping equipment on its own.
For business owners and property managers, ManageMowed specializes in giving businesses the resources necessary to attract new customers and make a lasting first impression. In addition, ManageMowed focuses on enhancing safety, security and property preservation for its clients, backed by a quality control plan and client communication.
Looking to give back to commercial businesses and community residents who were unable to take care of their landscaping over the course of the pandemic, ManageMowed launched its 2021 giveback efforts with the MGives philanthropy program. The company was also a sponsor of the Pink the Rink Golf Tournament, which raised over $40,000 for breast cancer awareness in Edmonds, Washington in August.
