B&S Sharpening was started in 1994 by Bill Wendt and his partner Sue Scott. Bills background was in haberdashery for 25 years, where he sold, among other items, scissors. Over that time Bill learned the art of sharpening scissors and built up a reputation among his customers of doing a professional job. Sues background was retailing, also in the sewing industry for 20 years. In 1994, Bill decided to have a change in job and prepare for retirement down the track. With Sue, he set up B&S Sharpening Services and began servicing what is now a very large and profitable business. B&S Sharpening services all types of business and even suburban households that use scissors, knives, office equipment, garden tools and anything else that requires a sharp edge. Over the past 14 years Bill and Sue have honed the business on both the operational and accounting sides, enabling it to be in a position to be successfully Franchised. Training is paramount to the success of the B&S Mobile Sharpening Franchise. Bill will personally teach each new Franchisee all techniques of restoring a perfect edge to virtually any item as well as running a profitable Franchise. "We are adamant that the secret of building a good business is by giving friendly, reliable, guaranteed service, at an affordable price". |
