October 09, 2024 // Franchising.com // Wyoming, MN – SpringGreen is proud to announce that Ben Mullen has officially taken over ownership of the SpringGreen franchise in Minneapolis, MN. Ben steps into this role after working side by side with his father, who started the local SpringGreen franchise in 2006. The business has remained in the family since its inception, and this transition marks a new chapter in continuing the legacy of exceptional lawn care services in the community.
Growing up immersed in the green industry, Ben has been a familiar face to the franchise's loyal customers for nearly two decades. Starting as a teenager helping his father with the business, Ben’s passion for lawn care blossomed, even as he pursued a degree in criminal justice. While his education led to roles in law enforcement and corporate security, Ben's dedication to the family business never wavered.
"I’ve always had a love for being outdoors and working on lawns," Ben shared. "Even when I was in college and working elsewhere, I found myself returning to help with the business every summer. It was only a matter of time before I made the decision to carry on what my dad started."
This transition is not just a business move; it is the continuation of a family tradition. Many of the customers Ben serviced as a kid are still with the franchise today, and he looks forward to maintaining those personal relationships as the official owner.
"Taking over the business from my dad has been such a natural step. I know the customers, and they know me. It’s rewarding to be serving the same community I grew up in and to continue providing the same quality of service,"Ben said. "My dad taught me the importance of customer care, and I intend to uphold those values as we grow the business."
