Franchisor Spotlight - Mr. Handyman
Mr. HandymanMr. Handyman's Targeted Growth
Mr. Handyman is an executive-style franchise looking for middle to upper level executives or those with a strong sales background. Franchisees do not do any of the handyman work; instead, he/she executes their business plan, does the marketing and relationship building, and manages a team of technicians. This business does really well in any economy since homes are always in need of repairs and updates. Mr. Handyman is part of the Service Brands family which includes notable brands Molly Maid, Protect Painters, and 1-800-Dryclean.
Mr. Handyman is targeting the following markets: Atlanta, Columbus, Denver, Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Salt Lake City. Meta-Franchise Consulting is offering a $5,000 referral fee for successful introductions in these markets. Please send us your referrals, or refer yourself here, for these markets before December 31st.
