OPERATION: START NOW - Franchise Giveaway
Spring Touch Franchise is excited to announce that we will be giving away a $30,000 franchise fee to a deserving Veteran!
Throughout our companies history, we have employed many Veterans and have always been inspired by their heart, dedication and extreme drive! As a brand, we are proud to stand by our Veterans and create opportunities for them to be successful in business. That is why we are offering Operation: Start Now - Franchise Giveaway! We believe that Veterans are some of the finest people in this country and if we can help them in their transition to civilian life and provide them with the support and resources to be successful, then we are honored to play a small part in helping support our Veterans.
Are you a Veteran who is looking to start your own business? Do you love working outside, having daily variety of work, working with people, and enjoy business? Spring Touch Lawn & Pest Control is a lawn, pest control and irrigation franchise that offers franchises with an impressive twelve revenue opportunities and first year support that will take away some of the major challenges of starting a business.
So why do we want to give away a franchise? Because we believe in YOU, our Veterans! We believe that the skills the military has taught you are life skills that will greatly help you be successful in the civilian world. The reason we are giving away a franchise, by paying the franchise fee (a $30,000 value), is because not only do we believe in you, but we feel it is a small token of appreciation to thank you for your service to our great country! It's the least we can do when you have done so much for us!
Veterans are a part of our brand from the top down. Not only have Veterans been happy working for our corporate store, but our co-founder, Nathan Newlands, is a Veteran from the Australian Air Force. Before becoming a U.S. citizen, he served as Leading Aircraftsman (L.A.C.) in logistics at the Richmond Base in Sydney, Australia. Nathan loved his time in the Air Force and worked closely with the American military that was stationed on the Richmond base. Nathan knows first hand how the work ethic, traits, and leadership skills he learned in the military translates to business in the civilian world.
