    Default Jims Mowing

    Checking out the local rag and has anyone else noticed that Jim's has expanded into Jims Fencing, Jims Handyman, Jims Irrigation Jims Antennas and the latest is Jims Computers (1/4 page add) all with the bearded gent as the head figure.

    Boy are jims growing, I wonder if not to quickly. Has anyone else noticed that or is it a local thing i wonder.

    Jim's Mowing Franchisees want to cut and run

    As an xjim,1 years- they where talking about taking paving of the old guys cos now adelaide bought paving.

    Irrigation, if ya want to do that as a mowing guy you gotta buy the rights about $14,000 on top of ya mowing & if ya want to be a handyman another $14,000.

    Trees was a mowing guys cream- till the jim had mowing guys cut down buy the insurance company to 5 mtrs & mowing guys feet must be on the ground at all times- or they are not covered...

    Antennas, is owned by a guy from Mr Antennas.

    All you need is a lot of $$$debt & ya can put jims name on your thing.

    I was speaking to a mate across the road yesterday and he was talking to a fanchise guy earlier in the week at the tip and this poor fella was near in tears. He bought into a franchise because he wanted some sercuity but because of the drought he has hardly any work and is busting his ass to do anything but still has his fees to pay and at the end of it he has nothing or bugger left for his effort or family.

    I fell sorry for this guy to be honest.

    Yeah you know whether we as Indies or them as franchisees....we're all doin it tough....The guy who buys a franchise is no better or worse than us...He blleds too when things are rough...Only difference is we dont have those monthly fees to keep forking out.....

    You'd think that old Jim Pemberton (or whatever the jeck his name is) would give those guys a break and wave the fees during the drought.....

    What's the odds though...Buckleys and none....the stingy money hungry #%*&
