Year-round income, year-round support

This isn’t a “sign up and see you later” kind of a business. We know and care about every single one of our franchisees and put a lot of effort behind helping them succeed. This means you get a lot of support, not just on day one, but whenever you need it.

Steps to franchise ownership

Let’s find out if we’re a good fit.

Personality matters a lot. What makes a franchise appealing to one person might be a non-starter for another. You’ll see that the kind of people who thrive with us tend to be a certain type: down to earth, outdoorsy, adored by little kids and dogs. And of course, hard-working, smart, and responsible. So, spend some time with our site. Can you see yourself doing this? Yeah? Then we’d love to meet you. Set up a call, and we can answer any questions you have and get to know you a bit better. If it feels like a good potential fit, we’ll send you a copy of our FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document) to review and invite you to our discovery webinar.

Discovery Process

This is where we’ll go over everything you need to know about franchising with ohDEER. And this isn’t a prerecorded “seminar.” We are there in the webinar to answer your specific questions and help you get to know what we’re all about. We take who we bring onto our team seriously. Because we think that’s how it should be: this is a big deal.

Validation

We want you to be happy and feel good about moving forward. That’s what this step is all about: giving you the chance to connect with ohDEER franchisees so you can get their take. What do they love? Wish they knew? Ask away, and they will do their best to give you thoughtful, honest answers.

Discovery Day

After the validation process, you will be invited to one of our discovery days to meet the leadership team in person and see the ohDEER system in action.

It is a family-oriented franchise and I’ve got 4 kids. We have come such a long way since I first got into it, this is my 8th year renewing my franchise agreement. They are as honest as anything I’ve seen. To draw a parallel with the military, there is a lot of teamwork even though we are our own independent owners. There is teamwork, they are always looking out for us. With the other franchisees, whenever there is a problem or issue we all work together to make sure that we are all able to do a good business and make money together.
