Overview
In North America,
franchising has become a popular way of getting into business. This
trend has been attributed in part to the general principle behind
franchising, which is:
This principle will hold true with a total commitment by all the 'franchise team' members and a continual open line of communication with the franchisor.
Active Green + Ross Tire & Automotive Centre is proud to be a firm proponent of this concept and we invite you to become part of our franchise team.
"start with a system that has a
track record, a defined market and controls in place. One that demonstrates the potential
to provide a good profit margin in purchasing and has an aggressive advertising strategy.
Combine these elements with the selection of a motivated franchisee, whose on-site
presence assures responsible control, and the franchise should succeed."

Why Active Green + Ross?
A benefit of belonging to the Active Green
+ Ross Tire & Automotive Centre franchise program is the meetings organized by the
Company for the franchisees. These meetings provide a forum for communicating an exchange
of ideas on industry updates and general improvement strategies, presented by the
Company's senior management and from time to time from outside consultants.Franchisees have the opportunity of meeting their peers from our other franchise locations and benefiting from exposure to each other's experience.
Being part of the Active Green + Ross Tire & Automotive Centre franchise program permits bulk buying discounts on tires, motor oils, automotive parts and other products including equipment.
In most cases tires are purchased directly from the manufacturers at volume discounts negotiated by the Company, including rebates earned based on individual purchased volumes as established by the Company from time to time. This translates into reduced operating costs and greater competitiveness in the automotive aftermarket.
Agreements are in place for authorized suppliers who supply the majority of the other products and services that Active Green + Ross franchisee's require. Authorized supplier agreements ensure competitive pricing, consistent products-services and in some cases, a volume rebate that is shared with the franchisee.
This buying power allows start up costs to generally be lower than non-franchised operations, therefore, increasing the opportunity for a successful and profitable operation.
