There are two (2) Mr E guys that I am aware of in the areas that I am an inspector. I noticed one of them recently did not have the Mr. E logo'd van, and I have not noticed the van recently.

All the permits applied for are in the NJ Lic. Business Permit name, and not Mr. E. This is due to NJ regs.

I cannot say that I have heard anything great about any of the 'service groups', including Mr. E.

Buying 'zip codes' IMHO will not give you any exclusive 'rights', only to 'use' the franchise name.

What do they give you for $30K?? Do you have to buy the van, or wrap your own? Who pays for the ads??

Any dollar projections on the 'national accounts'?? Big national accounts look for very competitive low rates, and can be very demanding for service work. (Been there, done that)

Pick around the business threads and look at some of the threads from previous discussions.

BTW, welcome to ECN from one of the 'Jersey Guys'!!
