A Canadian Success Story
|
Curb-Ease™ is truly a Canadian success story. Founded by President and CEO Garry Tynan, the company began operations in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia in 1998 and launched the franchise opportunity in the fall of 2005. Since that time Curb-Ease™ has expanded franchises in British Columbia as well as launched operations in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Atlantic Canada and is currently looking for a Master Franchise for Quebec. For years Garry was a Vice President working hard at making money for someone else. Tynan wanted to start up his own business, but nothing seemed to appeal to him until at a trade show where Garry and his wife Kelly first saw a curbing machine. Tynan remembers thinking that the concept was great, but with a background in construction he realized that the first curbing system he saw wasn't designed to do the volume of work required to sustain him over the winter. After doing some research and discovering a great market for continuous concrete borders, Tynan set out to find the best machine on the market. The first curbing machine the Tynan's purchased was the K40. Reflecting back on the early days of Curb-Ease™ Tynan remembers how all the equipment he originally bought, with the exception of the curbing machine, was not designed to handle the workload that Curb-Ease™ would soon produce. The trailer was light duty, the wheelbarrows broke on the first big job, the hoses were cheap and sprung leaks, but most importantly there was no system in place designed to achieve the monthly footage results Curb-Ease™ would need to produce. Over the next several years Tynan redesigned the curbing trailer, custom manufactured wheelbarrows, created marketing items and put in place systems that would allow a crew to achieve the daily and monthly footage that the Curb-Ease™ system was intended to do. |
