Renee Gilmore Tells theStockRadio.com Firemans Has Unique Position in Underserved Market
FORT WORTH, TX–(Marketwire) – Firemans Contractors, Inc. ( OTCQB : FRCN ) is the only company with a franchise model positioned to streamline and standardize pavement and parking lot maintenance services for clients nationally, Chief Executive Officer Renee Gilmore said in a radio interview.
Gilmore told theStockRadio.com in an interview aired Nov. 5 that the parking lot maintenance business was “very fragmented” and that “a lot of services that we provide are underserved.”
A one-stop shop solution
“We developed a franchise model for parking lot maintenance, striping, pressure washing, and seal coating” that brings “all these services under one umbrella,” said Gilmore. “There is nothing and no one, no company that is offering this type of service nationwide to streamline it. For example, for any nationwide retailer or property management company, we would be able to provide the same service for all of their properties across the nation under one company through our franchise system.”
Gilmore said that “we’re really the only company offering this type of franchise model” which “offers opportunities for small business owners that maybe are already doing this type of trade, or a business person that’s looking to start their own business for themselves but not necessarily by themselves.”
Advantages of a Niche in parking lot and pavement maintenance services
Gilmore said the business is attractive for three reasons. Its “recession resistant,” it’s a “repeat business,” and it’s a “required service mandated by local, state, and/or nationwide ADA [Americans with Disabilities Act] standards.”
The company launched its first franchise in July, and the franchise has already reported a net profit margin of 35 percent after its first quarterly review, said Gilmore.
“We hope to close another franchise before the end of the year and hopefully another ten in calendar year 2013.”

FORT WORTH, TEXAS
A significant road construction project in Tarrant County is approaching the 2-year mark. Designers broke ground around the North Tarrant Express in mid-2010. Once it’s complete, the NTE will run from Interstate-35W in Fort Worth to Industrial Boulevard in Euless. The $2.5 billion project will rebuild the present lanes of Interstate-820, Highway 121 and Highway 183, and add handled toll lanes.
“Probably over the following two months, this whole corridor is going to be being built,” stated Robert Hinkle, representative for that NTE. “So, which means there’s happening within the entire 13 . 5 miles.” By focusing on the whole project all at one time, rather than gradually, designers can complete the development much faster.
The NTE is anticipated to become open by June 2015. The job has already been in front of schedule, however the orange barrels and concrete obstacles will not be disappearing in the near future. “When you pull individuals concrete obstacles in, which you need to do to produce the development, the lanes remain. They’re just likely to look a great deal more compact,” Hinkle described. “So, for individuals workers’ safety but for the drivers’ safety, we would like folks to decelerate and give consideration.”
Across the stretch, cars, construction and congestion are commonplace. So, a minimum of for the following 3 years, controlling with the traffic trouble place is going to be tricky. “On a day, we have about 150,000 cars moving through this corridor, as well as we have about 1,000 employees on a day,” Hinkle stated. “So, put lower your Rim, put lower your sandwich, put lower your makeup, put lower anything you have with you – grip the wheel and drive.”
