Lawn Pride is the only “emerging brand” at Neighborly, the world’s largest home service franchisor. Lawn Pride is emerging in the sense that prior to the first quarter of 2023 (after Neighborly’s acquisition), Lawn Pride had not franchised the concept, but the company has been around since 1983. This creates virtually unlimited white space and tons of opportunity for our consultant partners. Lawn Pride also does the majority of the heavy lifting for a franchise owner. They handle all of the marketing, sales, and customer service for their franchised locations out of their call center in Indianapolis. This a recurring, high margin, simple to scale service, backed by a nearly 4 billion company.
