General Manager - Purple Lawn Service (Equity-Based Opportunity, No Buy-In Required)

Location: Columbus, OH
Compensation: Salary Profit Share (Equity) Performance Bonuses
Contract Length: 2 Years Minimum Commitment

An Opportunity to Lead & Earn Without a Buy-In

This is not just a job—it’s an opportunity to be a key leader in a growing company and benefit directly from the success of the business. As the General Manager of a corporately owned lawn care location, you will earn profit-sharing equity in the business while receiving a competitive salary, bonuses at key revenue goals, and full support from our corporate team.

This opportunity is structured similarly to a franchise in that we are expanding multiple locations across the region, but unlike a franchise, there are no franchise fees or buy-ins required. Instead, you get the opportunity to build and run a location, with the full backing of our established brand and support infrastructure.

Your profit-sharing starts at 5% in Year 1, growing to 10% in Year 2, 15% in Year 3, and at 20% from Year 4 onward. The more the business grows, the more you earn.

Projected First-Year Revenue: $200,000
Performance Bonuses for Hitting Revenue Goals
Pathway to Leadership Roles: Regional Manager, Multi-Location Manager, and even CEO
Admin Support Provided: No Overwhelming Paperwork!

Why This is a Career-Defining Move

We are looking for an ambitious, business-minded leader who wants to take a location to the next level while benefiting financially from its success.

  • Long-Term Career Growth: Managing a location is just the beginning. As we continue expanding across Ohio and the U.S., there will be opportunities to move into Regional Manager roles, Multi-Location Management, and even a CEO position.
  • Uncapped Earnings Potential: Because your compensation is tied to location profitability, your income will scale as the business grows.
  • Step Out of the Field Over Time: If you want to transition from hands-on work to leadership, this opportunity allows you to do so within 5-7 years.
  • Corporate Support for Admin Work: Our corporate team handles customer inquiries, online quotes, and scheduling so that you can focus on leadership, operations, and sales.
