How do you keep the excitement alive after 30 years? You celebrate the success of those around you. You celebrate milestones. You celebrate achievements. You embrace the 'young energy' of the next generation of Nutri-Lawn'ers, and you applaud the execution of exit strategies into youthful retirement.

And what better place to do all that than the picturesque Puerto Vallarta, Mexico!

With the average annual sales of a Nutri-Lawn franchisee now more than $1 million, system-wide growth steady each year (north of 6%), and the energy around the pool at an all-time high, celebrating success is easy to do with this group!

This 'wolf pack' of original Nutri-Lawn franchisees were able to congratulate Don McQueen on successfully selling his business in Burlington, and retiring to spend more time with his family. We wish you all the best Don - it's been a blast!
