Pool and Spa Care Franchisor Serves Residential and Commercial Clients
Puddle Pools has ratcheted up its expansion by securing the full suite of services offered by Franchise FastLane, a leading franchise acceleration and development company. Puddle Pools had previously participated in Franchise FastLane’s CarPool program, which coaches brand executives and helps them build a framework for self-directed growth.
Franchise FastLane is selective about which brands it adds to its portfolio. Before partnering with any franchise, its executives evaluate several criteria, such as the franchisor’s overall potential, its value proposition, key differentiators from its competitors, unit economics and marketplace conditions, which appear to be quite favorable. Arizton Advisory & Intelligence, a market research and consulting company, states that the market for U.S. pool maintenance and cleaning services has been growing – and will continue to grow – by an average of 4.17% per year from now through 2029.
Advantages of the Puddle Pools Franchise
Two key factors tilted FastLane’s decision to add Puddle Pools to its portfolio of partner brands: its straightforward business model and simple technological requirements. A franchisee needs only a smartphone to operate his or her business. But the advantages to investing in the pool and spa care franchise don’t stop there. Following are some additional perks for Puddle Pools franchisees:
- Recurring revenue from residential and commercial clients.
- Low overhead. All locations start with one vehicle and one technician; the business model is home-based.
- Minimal staffing and equipment requirements. All of the equipment fits inside the service vehicle, so no storage space is required.
- Easy hiring.
- Built-in marketing.
- A dedicated 24/7/365 multilingual call center.
- Highly scalable and sustainable business model.
- Quick to start, with the interval from training to launch lasting as little as six weeks.
- Weekly and monthly support consultations and field visits.
About Puddle Pools
Puddle Pools was founded in 2018 and began franchising in 2022. Starting with 13 locations, the brand grew steadily under the guidance it received during participation in Franchise FastLane’s CarPool program. The pool and spa care brand now has 42 locations, and Puddle Pools founder and CEO Mark Amery expects to further expedite growth now that his company has become a full partner with Franchise FastLane. “FastLane’s talented team makes them the perfect partner as we shift into advancing our expansion,” Amery says. “With FastLane’s expertise and network, we’re confident of great opportunities in the future for our brand and our franchisees.”
Amery started Puddle Pools out of his own frustration with the difficulty of finding reliable, professional maintenance for his family’s pool. Under his leadership, British Columbia-based Puddle Pools has grown to provide comprehensive, year-round services for pools and spas at private residences, community pools in residential neighborhood developments, apartment complexes, and in hotels, gyms and other commercial locations. Puddle Pools franchisees also service fountains.
Tim Koch, president and chief operating officer of Franchise FastLane, says his company has been impressed by Amery and others on the Puddle Pools franchise team. “Their success in CarPool proves just how strong their brand is,” Koch says. “After working closely with them and seeing their vision firsthand, we know they are solidly poised for continued growth, both throughout the United States and in Canada.”
