Outdoor lighting sales are being driven by the increasing number of homeowners seeking safety, security and aesthetics, as well as enhancement of their home's market value. This, coupled with the growing trend for people to spend more time in and around their homes, presents a great opportunity for our franchise owners to sell and service our lighting systems. Our NiteLites Franchises install high quality, energy efficient, low voltage lighting manufactured exclusively for our company to our exact specifications and feature an unconditional 5 year warranty. Furthermore, our fixtures are solid brass and copper. We go the extra mile for quality...even down to the kind of connectors we use for our wiring.

About Curb-Ease

Curb-Ease is truly a Canadian success story. Founded by President Garry Tynan, the company began operations in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia in 1996 and launched the franchise opportunity in the fall of 2005. Since that time we have expanded our franchises in British Columbia as well as launched operations in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Atlantic Canada. We are a dynamic and fast growing company, and we constantly strive to improve operating systems, marketing strategies, training conventions and overall communications with our franchise partners. Unlike buying equipment where the purchase represents the conclusion of the transaction, investing in a Curb-Ease Franchise represents the beginning of the relationship. Curb-Ease is a turnkey franchise that fulfills the demand for decorative concrete landscape borders. Concrete borders - in virtually any colour, shape or texture -- are a durable and attractive alternative to wood or plastic edging, and can be easily installed in new or existing landscape environments. Curb-Ease franchisees receive premium equipment, protected territories and on-going support. If you think you've "Got What It Takes" to run a successful Curb-Ease Franchise, contact us today for more information.
