Addison Dicks, a green industry professional, took ownership of the SpringGreen franchise in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Addison purchased an existing resale territory and is eager to continue providing high-quality lawn, pest and tree care services to the local community, according to the company.
Dicks’ journey into the green industry began with a landscaping business he started in high school. With more than 12 years of experience, a degree in construction management from Clemson University and a background in project engineering for commercial and industrial projects, Addison brings a wealth of knowledge and entrepreneurial drive to his new venture, according to the company.
“I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit, growing up in a family of entrepreneurs,” Addison said. “I knew I wanted to work for myself long-term, so after leaving my previous job, I pursued my passion for landscaping and maintenance. The opportunity to expand my business through the SpringGreen franchise felt like the perfect fit.”
Addison discovered the SpringGreen opportunity through a mutual connection with the previous franchise owner. Excited by the franchise’s established success and the support provided through marketing and customer service, Addison said he is ready to take on this new challenge.
“The support from SpringGreen’s marketing team and the call center was a big draw for me. I don’t have much experience in marketing, so having that assistance allows me to focus on the areas I know best — lawn care and growing the business,” Addison said.
According to the company, Addison’s connections to the Myrtle Beach area, combined with his experience in the green industry, will position him for success. As he takes the reins of the Myrtle Beach SpringGreen franchise, Addison said he is eager to establish the brand as a trusted and well-known name in the local community.
