Crewcut Lawn Mowing Franchise for sale

Jordan from Newtown

I am selling a Crewcut lawn mowing franchise with 40 lawns. Reason for selling is that I have split my lawns into two franchises as I have too many for one franchise. Lawns are located in all Wellington Central areas including Karori, Ngaio, Khandallah, Johnsonville and Newlands. You can choose a … View moreI am selling a Crewcut lawn mowing franchise with 40 lawns. Reason for selling is that I have split my lawns into two franchises as I have too many for one franchise. Lawns are located in all Wellington Central areas including Karori, Ngaio, Khandallah, Johnsonville and Newlands. You can choose a selection of them so that you can work in the areas that most suit you. I started my original franchise this time last year and by the end of Spring I had built it up from 35 lawns to over 60. Spring is the best time to get started. Sale comes with a trailer which has Crewcut signwriting and a Testarosa Lawn mower so you will just need to purchase a weed eater and leaf blower and any other tools you might need. Please contact me for more info.

Price: $15,500
