Summaries from the brand background, customer materials, and dated FDD used for this episode.
According to the brand’s history, Luke Menear entered pavement maintenance in 1999 and moved into ownership after purchasing striping equipment. The FDD separately identifies the franchisor’s incorporation in 2019 and the start of franchising in January 2020.
Customers hire the business to refresh pavement markings, plan new layouts and mark commercial spaces. The experience centers on coordinating the work with the property’s operations and delivering a visible, finished result.
The owner develops local customer relationships, leads the team and oversees the work. The April 2025 FDD describes a full-time owner or principal, with an approved trained manager permitted. This is an operating business to build, rather than an absentee investment.
The FDD’s Item 7 gives an estimated initial investment of $250,496 to $321,702 for one territory. Includes three months of additional funds; excludes debt service.
The selected 2024 figures cover five locations open all year, operating two or three territories each. Gross sales ranged from $122,271 to $446,371. The group excludes 39 partial-year locations; affiliate results are separate.
Reported sales come before operating costs and are not owner profit. Historical results do not predict a new owner’s performance. Review the current FDD for expenses, owner compensation and financing assumptions.
