The Jim’s Group Franchise Model
Who founded Jim’s Mowing? Jim Penman started a part-time gardening business while earning his PhD in history at Latrobe University. In 1982, he took the leap and launched Jim’s Mowing full-time with just a $24 investment. Originally, Jim’s focus was only at taking on subcontractors, but as his business grew he gradually began to specialise in the building up and selling of lawn mowing rounds.
