After years spent working in general labor/service based jobs, Rains found his way to&nbsp;<a href="https://scoopsoldiersfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=from-tech-to-owner-scoop-soldiers-franchisee-buys-territories-he-worked-in-after-four-years-2724604" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Scoop Soldiers</a>, the 40-plus-unit pet waste removal franchise, promising his manager at the time that he would be the best hire he ever made.&nbsp;After working for the Scoop Soldiers Oklahoma city market for about two years, Rains was promoted from tech to market leader, he began to see a path beyond a technician role with the brand. A couple of years later, when he found out about the franchise opportunity, he knew that this was his opportunity to take over a brand (and client list) he had a deep love for and carry on the legacy in the community.1851 Franchise spoke with Rains about his journey into franchising and his plans for the future.&nbsp;1851 Franchise: Frame your personal story for us.&nbsp;What did you do before franchising, and how did you decide franchising made sense for you?Rains:&nbsp;I’ve always done outdoor work, so I’ve always been in a kind of labor-intensive outside job. I’ve worked around animals before, too. When I found this job about four years ago, I really tried my best to get it. I told the manager at the time that I’d be the best hire he ever made. I started as a technician in 2019, but I never thought I’d take over. The plan was just to see how far I could go with this job. I had always thought about owning my own business, so when the franchise opportunity came along, my first thought was, “If I could have the opportunity, why not take it?”1851: What was your perception of franchising prior to becoming a franchisee, and what do you want people to know about franchising now that you are in it?Rains:&nbsp;The benefits of a franchise, rather than starting my own business, are great. I enjoy having everything set in stone for me. The policies, procedures and operations are already established. That made this a lot easier because I already have a lot of support from the company itself.1851:&nbsp;What made you pick this brand? What excites you most about this company?Rains:&nbsp;I’ve never had a job or worked for a company that has shown as much appreciation for its employees as Scoop Soldiers has. That’s what has kept me here for so long. I like how we do things; I like the operations side. I like everything about the company, so it was a no-brainer for me.1851:&nbsp;What do you hope to achieve with your business? What are your plans for growth?&nbsp;Rains:&nbsp;My goal is to make Scoop Soldiers the go-to for pet waste removal in and around the Oklahoma City metro.&nbsp;1851:&nbsp;What is the one thing about your story you want us to know?Rains:&nbsp;I love what I do, I love dogs and I love helping people.1851:&nbsp;What advice do you have for other people thinking about becoming a franchise owner?Rains:&nbsp;Look into it, see if it is something that might interest you, and if so, go for it.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit<a href="https://1851franchise.com/scoopsoldiers">&nbsp;https://1851franchise.com/scoopsoldiers</a>
