A former 7-Eleven franchisee ran his store for 10 years. Now he's starting a Jim's Building Inspections franchise for free, after Jim Penman made an offer on national news.
In this interview, he shares what happened at the end of his 7-Eleven term.
He says he grew turnover by 60 to 70% and had an independent valuation close to $1 million.
He says he was asked to lower the price several times, the sale process dragged, and he ran out of time.
Jim Penman saw the story and offered an all expenses paid franchise in Jim's Building Inspections, one of the strongest Jim's divisions.
With a background in building and construction, he took up the offer.
Filmed during his first week of training, he talks about the Jim's system, the support, and why having the founder's mobile number matters.
You'll also hear from his divisional franchisor on fairness, retention and long-term franchise relationships.
He asked to keep his identity confidential, so his face is blurred.
