Mole Management LLC is a specialized landscape-service franchise founded in 2015 in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, where its headquarters remain today.
The brand began franchising in 2023, with its first franchisee location opening in Westfield, Wisconsin in spring 2023 under Eric and Lindsey Eschenbach.
Mole Management offers professional mole and pocket-gopher trapping services to protect lawns, gardens, and outdoor assets.
Differentiating itself from general landscaping, Mole Management specializes exclusively in mole and gopher removal, delivering targeted expertise and training, along with protected trapping territories to franchisees.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Mole Management provides a structured training program to prepare franchisees and their managers for effective business operations. Below are the key training programs outlined by the franchisor:
Mole Management provides territory protection to its franchisees by assigning them a defined geographic area known as the “Territory.” This Territory is outlined in Exhibit A of the Franchise Agreement and is determined at the franchisor’s sole discretion, taking into account factors like population density, terrain, and market potential.
Only one Mole Management franchise may operate within a given Franchised Area at any time. Franchisees are not allowed to solicit or provide services outside of their designated Territory unless explicitly permitted in writing by the franchisor.
Additionally, franchisees cannot use alternative distribution methods like telemarketing, the internet, or direct marketing to reach customers beyond their Territory. This structure ensures franchisees operate without direct internal competition within their assigned zones, helping to preserve market integrity and growth potential.
