What we’re looking
for in our franchisees

Our unwavering commitment to customer service excellence has been the key ingredient in our success, and we expect our franchise owners to emulate this approach. You should be proficient at interacting with local communities and selling to customers.

Finding your franchise location

The typical facility needed for a franchisee to start their business will be an open yard with 130,000 to 430,000 square feet of usable space. It should be located near public transport, and have easy access to major highways.
You may already have the perfect spot in mind, or we’ll help you find a suitable location in your assigned territory. Longyards will purchase the land , whereafter it will be up to you (with our guidance) to put up fencing and electrical power to allow for security cameras and gates. There will also be an office operation at the entrance of the property to allow for those killer sales presentations we know you’re going to nail!
