Dan’s Story

Dan Reid had been a small business owner in the landscaping industry when he decided franchise ownership would be a better fit. In 2012, he and his wife Jana opened The Grounds Guys® of the Rogue Valley, serving areas in Oregon that include Azalea, Medford, Roseburg, and Myrtle Creek.

In the early days of franchise ownership, Dan “did a bit of everything,” but now he’s the general manager of his company and has grown his top line sales every year. When he launched, he set out to achieve three main goals: gain more freedom with his time, have a better work environment, and create wealth for his family. Today, Dan says he’s able to accomplish all three.

Other Franchise Owner Success Stories

I love the journey I have been on since starting The Grounds Guys. It has been life changing on all levels, and as I look back over the last 10 years of ownership, my dreams then do not even come close to what I have been able to experience.
