Scott Bowen
Grease Monkey
Fort Leavenworth
& Overland Park, KS
Owner Since 2017
What was it about the franchise model and/or
leadership that led you to purchase it? When I
was leaving the Army and researching
automotive franchises I wanted something that
was different from the others. I had never heard
of Grease Monkey, but as soon as I saw how they
operate I was hooked. What really sold me on the
franchise was the leadership. They’re everything
you dream of when you’re looking for a franchise.
They helped me in so many ways and still do to
this day.
What type of business experience, education,
and/or skills did you have prior to becoming a
franchisee that you have found particularly
helpful? I spent my entire adult life in the United
States Army as a mechanic. I do have a bachelor’s
degree in another field, but I believe the skills I
learned in the Army have helped me the most as
a franchisee. Many of our core values are the
same as the Army’s. I think this helped make a
smooth transition into the franchise. Another
thing about the franchise is that we’re the top
veteran franchise in the quick lube industry.
Grease Monkey has worked very hard to get us
veterans a smooth transition into the civilian
work place as well as some very nice incentives.
What do you like most about your job/owning
a franchise? I love everything about owning a
franchise, which is why we opened our second
store this past week. Grease Monkey is great. A
big issue I hear from franchisees at other brands
is that once you sign your franchise agreement
they feed you to the wolves and it’s hard to get
support. It’s totally opposite with Grease Monkey.
They have a great support team. They really want
the franchisee to succeed.
