ORANGEVILLE, Ontario (September 26, 2011) - The Grounds Guys™ Canada is pleased to announce the opening of a new franchise location in Victoria, British Columbia.
The owners of The Grounds Guys™ Victoria franchise are Jason and Bruce Scott. The Grounds Guys™ brand provides summer and winter landscape management and grounds maintenance services for commercial and residential customers throughout Canada and the USA.
Jason Scott has been a professional landscaper for over six years and completed landscaping projects such as the BC Hospital Lottery Homes. In addition to owning and operating a local Victoria landscaping business, Jason also worked directly with a successful Vancouver design and installation landscaping company. "We were attracted to the Grounds Guys because of the extremely successful track record of their franchise system that includes proprietary technical and operation systems, as well as superior and highly professional training and support. We were also drawn to the unusually high standards, business ethic and focus on customer care that is rare in this industry."
Jason will be working together with his father, Bruce Scott, who brings a successful 40-year business management background to the new location to ensure that the Grounds Guys™ Victoria will exceed their customers' expectations.
"Jason and Bruce are a natural fit for the Growing Grounds Guys family: energetic, customer oriented and horticulturally skilled," says Peter van Stralen, CEO of Sunshine Brands®. "We are excited to watch their business grow as they deliver first class customer care and service to Victoria as part of the Grounds Guys™ team."
