About That Franchise Group Inc.

When Desmond Rice started Weed Man in 1970 and began franchising in 1976, he might have had a sense that he was onto something good. It's doubtful that anyone could have foreseen the immense success that Weed Man would achieve with franchised locations in Canada, the United States and internationally. That said, Des has always been a man with vision.

As the business expanded, Des realized that he needed a team of management professionals to work with him. Michael J. Kernaghan joined Weed Man in 1987 and together they've taken the business to some pretty lofty heights.

It became obvious that not only did they know how to run a residential lawn care service successfully, but they understood how to run a large and profitable franchise. They knew how to satisfy the needs of their franchisees by creating systems that were repeatable. They initiated training programs that are, to this day, the envy of the industry. Their operational support has been proven by the success their franchisees have been enjoying for decades. Their marketing support has always been cutting edge and forward thinking. Weed Man is an iconic brand within the franchise industry and, quite frankly, beyond.

So...now what? With Weed Man well established, Des and Michael focussed their attention on using their knowledge to expand. They knew exactly how to run a successful franchise; it was simply a matter of developing a new brand which would excel. Watching market trends closely, they saw huge opportunity in the personal and small business waste management industry. Bin There Dump That was created, benefitting from the decades of specific customer service knowledge under their collective belts. That Franchise Group was created to manage the five brands; a growing empire with over 400 franchise operators and annual system wide sales/revenue in excess of 100 million dollars. That Franchise Group is, more than anything else, a brain trust of franchise industry experts who apply their specific knowledge to those franchises rising under their umbrella. Today this includes Weed Man, Bin There Dump That, Truly Nolen, Christmas Decor and Downsizing Diva.
