As a Crop & Drop Counter Tops franchisee, you will effectively penetrate multiple markets your competition can only dream of. The reason is simple... price. You will basically be offering the same products as a granite fabrication plant at a fraction of the cost. Not only will you cater to an established industry, but you'll also be selling to a market normally outside the reach of the solid surface fabricator - the ordinary home owner. Research has proven that home owners with average incomes would purchase granite if it were more affordable. With Crop & Drop Counter Tops, that obstacle is removed. Your price advantage permits you to sell at up to 50% below your competition and still maintain your profit margins!
This opportunity will only be available for a short time. We are only interested in establishing a few franchises per area, so contact us today to get started! Remember, previous experience is not required - our program was developed to train and certify selected individuals with or without experience.
