ohDEER Takes a Bold Step with Its Inaugural Franchise in Texas

ohDEER Expands with First Texas Franchise

In a significant move, ohDEER, the United States' leading provider of all-natural pest control solutions for deer, ticks, and mosquitoes, has announced the opening of its first franchise location in Texas. Situated in Northwest Austin, this new venture will be managed by the dynamic husband-and-wife duo, Jef and Whitney Fair, aiming to deliver eco-friendly services to a rapidly growing region.

Jef Fair brings with him a wealth of experience from the outdoor retail sector, previously holding roles at esteemed brands like Orvis. His deep-seated passion for the environment is evident through his commitment to sustainable living, bolstered during his tenure at an organic nursery where he witnessed the critical need for nature-friendly practices firsthand. This blend of operational experience and environmental advocacy makes Jef an ideal owner for the new franchise.

Colleen Upham, co-founder of ohDEER, expressed her enthusiasm about the new ownership, stating, "Jef and Whitney embody the passion and values we seek in our ohDEER partners. Jef's extensive background in outdoor retail and his dedication to responsible living align perfectly with our brand's mission, making this franchise a thrilling addition to our expansion in Texas."

The decision for the Fairs to open a franchise in an area prone to high deer populations stems from a recognized demand for effective, all-natural solutions to safeguard local gardens and yards. Jef noted, "During droughts, deer consume nearly anything, leaving homeowners with limited options to protect their landscapes. ohDEER offers a range of all-natural solutions that effectively address these issues."

With their love for the outdoors and a mission to enhance outdoor spaces for relaxation and play, the Fair family's commitment to ohDEER's vision resonates deeply with their values. Jef added, "I find joy in gardening and maintaining landscapes. Our goal is to reclaim outdoor areas for enjoyable family moments, and I'm excited to embark on this journey with ohDEER."

The launch of the ohDEER Northwest Austin franchise marks a crucial step in the company's national growth strategy, reinforcing its commitment to safe, natural outdoor spaces for families. The brand specializes in environmentally conscious products designed to tackle outdoor pest problems effectively, ensuring consumer safety and environmental integrity.

Founded in 2006 in Wayland, Massachusetts, by co-founders Kurt and Colleen Upham, ohDEER has enjoyed rapid growth, particularly after it began franchising in 2014. Today, it boasts 19 locations across several states, including Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Virginia, Ohio, Missouri, Texas, and New Hampshire. The expansion into Texas not only showcases the brand's dedication to environmentally friendly practices but also their innovative approach in meeting regional demands.
