From a single location on Vancouver Island to a coast-to-coast operator.
From a single franchise to a fifteen-location operator.
Unified Management Corp was founded by Tim Ball in 2014 with a single Great Canadian Oil Change franchise in Langford, British Columbia. The model was simple and disciplined: run the location well, build repeatable systems, then do it again.
What began on Vancouver Island soon expanded across British Columbia, and then across the country. Today Unified operates fifteen locations across two trusted brands — Great Canadian Oil Change automotive service centres and a Dairy Queen — each opened, trained, and stabilized in-house before being handed to a general manager.
We run our own HR, payroll, accounting, and supply-chain functions in-house. That discipline is why franchisors and partners trust us to open, stabilize, and scale.

Principles that hold across every location.
Built to expand
From Vancouver Island, across BC, and on across the country — a repeatable model that travels into new markets.
Systems before scale
In-house HR, payroll, accounting, and supply chain mean each new location is incremental, not a rebuild.
Local knowledge, real roots
Deep familiarity with each market we enter — from our Vancouver Island home base to communities across Canada — informs every site we choose.
