GUIER FENCE “OPENS THE GATE” TO A
NATIONWIDE FRANCHISE PROGRAM.

New Turn-key fence franchise opportunity is the only one of its kind in the U.S.

January 25, 2010

Kansas City, MO - Guier Fence, a 30 year-old producer and installer of residential and commercial
fencing solutions, has developed a franchise program that is the first and only one of its kind in the
United States. Guier Fence franchises are now available in defined territories across America.

“We’ve taken everything we’ve learned in 30-years of building one of the largest and most
respected fence companies in the country and packaged into a franchise program,” said Lea Bailes,
CEO of Guier Fence. “This is the first time there has been a nationwide fence franchise available
in the U.S. and we’ve made sure it has everything an owner needs to be successful.”

Not only is Guier Fence breaking new ground with a fence company franchise, they have created
two different franchise models depending on the experience level of the franchisees and on the
upfront investment they want to make.

The “Guier Fence Professional” model is an opportunity to start a company with a lower
investment amount and lower overhead. This may even be home-based depending on a
variety of factors. This concept allows the franchise owner to market, sell, and install Guierapproved
fencing solutions in a defined territory, leveraging Guier’s knowledge and
experience with products, promotion, and more. No prior construction experience or carpentry
skills are necessary.

The “Guier Fence Showroom" Model is perfect for the experienced business manager, or a
current "Guier Fence Professional" operator who is ready to expand, this option includes the
opening and operating of a full-scale showroom and warehouse facility, and is designed for
the franchise owner to hire staff to help operate the business. Guier Fence will of course be
there to aid in the site selection, business ramp up, and ongoing operations.

So while this is a tremendous opportunity for an existing fence company or light contractor to
make a quantum leap in capabilities and efficiencies, it is also one for people with no fence or
related experience who are simply looking for an exciting new franchise business opportunity.
There is even a discount for veterans.

In addition to aligning themselves with one of the most respected names in the industry, Guier
Fence franchisees will be able to add over 30 years of experience and credibility to their sales
pitches. There will be a national branding and marketing support system, assistance with
tracking sales and efficiency, accounting services, sales and installation training, national
purchasing power and supplier relationships and much more ongoing support.

“After 30 years, you learn a lot that you can share with others,” added Bailes. “Not only that,
you build a lot of relationships, networks, product streams, buying clout and other abilities
that give us and our franchisees real competitive advantages over other companies. The grass
really IS greener on our side!”

Kelly Guier founded Guier Fence in 1979 and is now Chairman Emeritus. “I am really
excited when I see what Lea and the team have put together for franchisees,” Guier said. “I
can say first-hand that there was a lot of painful of trial and error that led to the systems we
have now. I can’t even imagine how much easier and faster we would have grown had I had
something like this.”

Unlike many older franchises whose “good territories” are already spoken for, Guier Fence
territories were only recently established. Said Bailes, “People who see this as a ground floor
opportunity and see what this can do for them and then jump on it, will pretty much have their
choice of territories. That only happens once.”
