What about the Winters?
-
Short Winter Slowdown: In Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland, the winter slow period lasts only 4 to 6 weeks (late December to early February), with franchises typically staying busy until Christmas and picking up again in February.
- Option to Take Time Off: Franchisees have the flexibility to take time off during the winter if they want, as the revenue from the busier months (spring to fall) is often sufficient to support the time off.
- Snow and Ice Control: Around 75% of franchises offer snow removal and ice control services, which allows them to generate additional income even in regions with less snowfall, making winter profitable for those who choose to work.
- Professional Development and Flexibility: Winter months are used for training, coaching, and sharing best practices among franchisees, allowing for continued growth and preparation for the following season, while still offering the option to take time off.
