A franchise owner has multiple revenue streams available, says CEO, Mary Wetherill. These may include conducting agriculture-related workshops to interested groups (which often result in sales), as well as sales to organizations or individuals who want to maintain their own growing systems. But the primary revenue stream for a franchise owner involves selling the hydroponic growing system, installing the equipment, providing planning and design as needed, and selling and maintaining service contracts.
