HAVE YOU BEEN WEIGHING UP GOING INTO BUSINESS FOR YOURSELF? WELL, WE’VE GOT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU

Exciting franchise opportunities at Weigh Station!

Why Weighstation?

A Weigh Station franchise offers something excitingly different to its partners. It offers flexibility, scalability, and opportunity. It offers you the chance to part of something that gives back to the community, and gives you back your choice.

On Your Own or Build a team

Whether you’re a lone ranger or a team leader, a Weigh Station franchise is built for both. It can be your own business that you operate solely, or easily grow to meet your ambition and grand plans.

Easily Scalable

With a service-based model, a Weigh Station franchise can easily scale up or down to meet market conditions, lifestyle goals and changes, and the freedom to choose when, how, and where you operate from. You’re not locked into or weighed down by the commitment of a bricks and mortar style business.

How are we different?

Lower overheads

Due to the unique service offerings of a Weigh Station franchise compared with other franchise opportunities, you’ll typically attract much lower overheads.

Lower overheads mean you could:
- Gain traction much quicker without additional financial obligations
- See a return on your investment earlier without high entry costs
- Launch faster without the need for site scouting, renting, and costly fitouts
