The Jim’s group franchise model
Who founded Jim’s Mowing? Jim Penman started a part-time gardening business while earning his PhD in history at Latrobe University. In 1982, he took the leap and launched Jim’s Mowing full-time with just a $24 investment. Originally, Jim’s focus was only at taking on subcontractors, but as his business grew he gradually began to specialise in the building up and selling of lawn mowing rounds.
By 1989 he franchised his business, and since then Jim’s Mowing has become the largest franchise chain in Australia and New Zealand, and the largest and best-known lawn mowing business in the world. To learn more about the Jim’s Story and download his free autobiography, click the button below.
