3. It Just Makes Sense to get a Guier Fence From our humble beginnings in Kelly Guier's basement in 1979, Guier Fence has grown to become one of the top fence companies in the nation. Our obsession with customer service and satisfaction guides everything we do. Whether it's residential, agricultural, commercial or industrial, no one offers better fencing products, better service, a better warranty or a better price. That's why we say, "It just makes sense to get a Guier Fence."
4. The Idea Behind the Guier Fence Franchise I began with the company in 2005 and soon realized the potential of the company. What I saw was a company that was well managed with systems that were developed of the course of the years. Guier Fence had great respect from its customers, the community, suppliers, and the industry as a whole. I assisted in expanding Guier Fence from its one location to three locations in the Kansas City area. During the expansion, I realized that the company was systemized and could be expanded further. After acquiring Guier Fence in May of 2009, I decided that the best way to expand the company was through franchising. With Guier Fence’s experience in the industry, solid business model, well developed systems, and supplier relationships, I knew that we could give all of the advantages developed over the years to owners of existing fence companies and provide these owners with many advantages over their competition. So the Guier Fence franchise was born.

11. Supplier Role in the Guier Fence franchise system Guier Fence pre-approves the use of each supplier by every franchisee to ensure consistency in quality. Only pre-approved suppliers may sell to our franchisees. Ideally, each supplier would deal directly with each franchisee. Each franchisee would be set up as their own entity, but under the Guier Fence brand name with Guier Fence pricing and terms. Orders would be made directly from each franchisee to each supplier, and each supplier will deliver material directly to that franchisee. Guier Fence Co. (the parent company) will supply material on occasion. However, it is best for the franchisees to deal directly with each supplier as we would become overwhelmed by the logistics of ordering product and coordinating purchasing and delivery on behalf of every franchisee.
