WEED MAN
Weed Man franchises provide professional lawn care, mosquito control, and perimeter pest control services to residential and commercial customers using a standardized system emphasizing quality products, prompt service, and guaranteed results. Franchisees operate within assigned territories, adhering to detailed specifications for products, equipment, and operations under the Weed Man trademark. The business model is based on sub-franchising in the Midwest US (MN, WI, ND, SD, northern IL), with royalties now calculated as a percentage of gross sales.

Data Based On: 138 franchised outlets open for full year 2023
* Average and Median Gross Revenue (Net Sales) are taken directly from Table #1 on Page 2, representing overall figures for all reporting franchisees for 2023. Gross Profit Margin (87.77%) is provided in Table #5 on Page 5 but explicitly states it does not reflect other significant operating expenses such as labor, equipment, or vehicle expenses. Due to the lack of information on these other operating expenses, it is not possible to reliably calculate Average Net Profit, Average Net Income, Average EBITDA, EBITDA Margin Percentage, or a Best Guess Profit Low/High range. The sample size for Net Sales data is 138 franchisees (Page 1 and Table #1 Page 2), while the sample size for Gross Profit Margin is 119 franchisees (Table #5 Page 5). The primary sample size (poc_number, poc_franchise_count) refers to the Net Sales data.
