TORONTO (May 16, 2023) – Weed Man – the fastest growing lawn care company in North America – has announced impressive growth in 2022 with 18.75 percent net system sales growth and 20 new agreements (6 new to the system, 7 existing franchises that have expanded into new territories, and 7 resale agreements), expanding the franchise into 29 new territories. The brand was also ranked No. 1 on the list of Best Lawn Care Service Companies of 2023 by Forbes.

These agreements will bring Weed Man locations to West Orlando, FL; Omaha, NE; Wayne, NJ; Beaumont, TX; Fort Wayne, IN; Auburn, AL; Morgantown, WV; Buda, TX; Clarksville, TN; Rochester, NY; Kamloops, BC; and St. Johns, NFLD.

“While six of our new territories will be operated by new franchisees, seven will be operated by existing franchisees who are expanding,” said Jennifer Lemcke, CEO of Weed Man. “This expansion demonstrates the success of our business model, the resilience of our franchisees, and the surging demand for our exceptional services. Additionally, the recognition from Forbes further exemplifies the strength of the brand.”

For over 50 years, Weed Man has been dedicated to creating greener and healthier lawns. A healthy, well-maintained lawn generates oxygen, removes carbon dioxide, reduces noise and temperatures, filters out ground water pollutants, and increases property values. 

The success of Weed Man franchisees is built upon the twin pillars of training and support. Each owner is equipped by the franchisor with all aspects of business operations, including administration, technical, marketing, business planning and budgeting. As an additional layer of local support, every Weed Man franchisee is supported by their experienced regional franchisor who serves as a personal consultant and mentor, providing experience, guidance, and encouragement.

Seasoned entrepreneurs, like Brandon Ritenour, first-year owner of Weed Man Beaumont, TX, have recognized the growing demand for professional and reliable lawn care services. Ritenour was drawn to Weed Man because of its strong franchise model, proven track record of success and a comprehensive support system in place. “In my research into franchising opportunities, it was clear that Weed Man offered the chance to capitalize on a booming market and partner with a trusted and successful brand. My decision to become a franchisee was cemented when I saw the success of a Weed Man franchisee who I knew very well,” said Ritenour. “My area didn’t have a brand like Weed Man, and I knew that Southeast Texas could strongly benefit from one. With hard work, determination and the incredible support from Weed Man’s leadership group, it made the process painless – the constant support from the beginning has been amazing.”
