on

Celebrating a New Chapter in Franchise Ownership

We are thrilled to announce that Zephrin Allen of Van Alstyne, TX, is the newest franchisee of Waterloo Turf, opening his path to entrepreneurship in the vibrant North Dallas area. With nearly 20 years of corporate leadership behind him, Zephrin is ready to transition from General Manager in the software services industry to thriving business owner—bringing bigger opportunities and greater freedom in his life.

Who Is Zephrin Allen?

Hailing from a successful career in corporate America, Zephrin built a reputation as a strong leader managing large teams and complex operations. This background laid the foundation for his pursuit of a franchise: a chance to leverage his management and strategic skills in his own venture.

Prioritizing both personal flexibility and financial growth, Zephrin saw franchise ownership as the ideal next step—a move that would grant him autonomy over his schedule and the chance to build lasting wealth beyond the corporate ladder.

Why Explore Franchising Now?

Although Zephrin has steadily advanced in his corporate career, he began exploring franchising as a strategic move to diversify his income and build long-term wealth. He was drawn to the potential for greater flexibility, increased control over his time, and the opportunity to apply his leadership experience in a new, entrepreneurial setting. Franchising stood out as the ideal pathway—with a proven system, built-in support, and the chance to grow something of his own alongside his existing career.

Franchising 101: Finding the Right Fit

At FranCoach, we believe that franchise ownership isn’t just about buying a business—it’s about building the life you want. That’s exactly what we explore every week on our Franchising 101 podcast, where we break down how to find your ideal franchise, avoid costly mistakes, and become your own boss with confidence.

Why Will He Make a Great Franchise Owner?

“Zephrin has been great to work with. He is smart yet eager to learn. He embraced the process as well as the confusion that this vetting tends to cause, and ultimately came to the best conclusion for him. The determination he showed throughout will translate really well to life as a franchise owner.” — Tim Parmeter, FranCoach

Zephrin’s open-minded spirit, perseverance, and talent for leadership make him a stellar fit for franchise success. His willingness to dive in, adapt, and grow is the hallmark of a standout business owner.

Why Did He Choose Waterloo Turf?

After attending multiple Meet The Team events, Zephrin saw firsthand how Waterloo Turf balances top-tier product quality with streamlined operations. For him, the franchise stood out because:

  • High-value, big-ticket products with strong customer demand
  • Low overhead model, maximizing ROI potential
  • Scalable structure, ideal for acquiring multiple territories in North Dallas

His strategic vision aligns perfectly with the Waterloo business model—positioning him to build a regional footprint and serve more homeowners with reliable, premium turf solutions.

Congratulations and What’s Next

We congratulate Zephrin Allen on this exciting next phase as the newest Waterloo Turf franchise owner. His journey reflects the path many aspiring business owners take—moving from corporate success to entrepreneurial fulfillment. We can’t wait to watch his story unfold in North Dallas and beyond.
