The Evive Brands gutter franchise, with 450-plus U.S. units, opens its first territories outside the country.
The Brothers That Just Do Gutters is now selling franchise territories in Canada, the first market outside the U.S. for the Evive Brands concept, which has more than 450 units open in 36 states and has franchised since 2015. The Oct. 9 move follows this year's launch of BroGuard, a proprietary all-metal gutter guard that gives owners a higher-ticket product to sell alongside installation, repair and cleaning.
"Gutters are essential to protecting a home, particularly in a climate shaped by rain, snow and seasonal debris," said brand president Danny Horboychuk. Canada is also home turf for Weed Man, the Ontario lawn care franchisor Gridiron Capital backed last week.
