Growing Commercial Development and Year-Round Property Risks Continue to Drive Demand for Restoration Services

TAMARAC, Fla. — PuroClean, a leading international property restoration and remediation franchise, has announced plans to expand throughout the El Paso, TX market as part of the brand’s continued growth strategy into high-demand territories across the United States.

As weather-related property damage continues impacting communities across West Texas, PuroClean is seeking qualified entrepreneurs to help meet the region’s increasing demand for restoration and remediation services.

In El Paso, where, despite low rainfall, intense storms cause frequent flash floods, the city experienced an average of six per year from 2006 to 2024. Extreme heat, high winds, and prolonged drought conditions also increase risk for surrounding homes and businesses. As of 2026, there is a 63% risk for wildfires and a 30% flood risk in El Paso.

Combined with everyday residential and commercial property issues such as pipe leaks, mold growth, and appliance failures, these environmental conditions have created consistent year-round demand for restoration services across the market. As The Paramedics of Property Damage^®, PuroClean Franchise Owners provide critical restoration and remediation services that help homeowners and businesses recover from unexpected property damage while delivering meaningful support to local communities.

“El Paso is a strong market for long-term growth because the demand for property restoration services is both recurring and essential,” said Brandon Mangual, Vice President of Franchise Development. “Beyond residential demand, the region’s expanding commercial sectors create significant opportunities for new PuroClean Franchise Owners. Supported by PuroClean’s regional support, El Paso offers entrepreneurs the potential to build a scalable business in a market driven by both everyday property needs and large loss events.”

For entrepreneurs looking to grow a high-margin business, PuroClean offers a scalable business model backed by national partnerships, comprehensive training, operational support, and advanced technology systems designed to help Franchise Owners respond efficiently when disaster strikes.

“Our Franchise Owners play an important role in helping families and businesses recover during some of the most stressful moments they face as property owners,” said Steve White, President of PuroClean. “Markets like El Paso continue to demonstrate why restoration services remain essential regardless of economic conditions. From severe weather events to unexpected property damage, there will always be a need for fast, reliable, and compassionate service, and we’re looking forward to growing our presence in the region with entrepreneurs who want to make a meaningful local impact.”

With a network of over 500 offices across North America, PuroClean continues expanding into strategically identified markets with strong demand for restoration and remediation services. Ideal franchise candidates include trade professionals, insurance adjusters, veterans, and corporate executives. What unites them is the desire to own a purpose-driven business backed by a trusted support system. PuroClean Franchise Owners benefit from a recession-resistant model, strong community impact, and the ability to make a meaningful difference in the lives of their neighbors.

Leading tire & wheel franchise retailer surprised mothers in Florida, Louisiana, and Virginia with brand-new vehicles
RNR received over 12,000 submissions for this year’s giveaway

TAMPA, Fla. — RNR Tire Express, the leading franchise retailer for tires and custom wheels and part of the multi-brand franchisor company DX3 Brands, celebrated its 10^th annual Mother’s Day Giveaway by awarding three deserving mothers in Florida, Louisiana, and Virginia with brand-new vehicles.

Each year, RNR invites community members to nominate mothers with incredible stories and journeys, recognizing women who dedicate themselves to their families and communities every day. With more than 12,000 stories submitted across 31 participating stores nationwide, three nominations especially stood out. Katelynn Webber from Brandon, FL, Roquila Brown of Bossier City, Louisiana, and Salina Pugh of Suffolk, VA were selected as this year’s grand prize winners.

“We’re proud to recognize Katelynn Webber, Roquila Brown, and Salina Pugh as this year’s Mother’s Day giveaway recipients,” said Adam Sutton, CEO of DX3 Brands and RNR Tire Express. “Their stories are a powerful reminder of the sacrifice and compassion that so many moms carry every single day. The love and dedication they pour into the people around them truly embody the heart of why we do this. We are honored to celebrate them and grateful for the impact they continue to make in the lives of others.”

Webber, who was joined by her 5-year-old son, was surprised by the RNR team with her brand-new 2026 Buick Envista at the RNR Brandon location on May 19. She was nominated by her co-worker and best friend, Cassie, who described her as selfless and deeply passionate about helping others. As a behavioral specialist and mother of an autistic son, Webber has dedicated her life to supporting children with autism and emotional behavior disorders, working with students ages 3 to 22. She recently wrote a children’s book for children with autism and is pursuing her PhD in behavioral neuroscience.

Brown, who was joined by her family, was surprised by the RNR team with her brand-new 2026 Buick Envista at the RNR Bossier City location on May 22. Nominated by her 15-year-old son, Brown was described as the hero of her family. As a single mother raising three children, including a daughter with a serious heart condition and a son with autism, she has faced tremendous challenges while continuing to put her children first every day, even through financial hardships, health concerns and the recent loss of transportation that forced her to leave her job as a caretaker.

Pugh was awarded her 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer on Thursday, June 4^th at the Suffolk RNR location.

“I’m beyond grateful to my family, Cassie, and the RNR team for this incredible gift and for shining a light on mothers like me,” Webber said. “Being a mom can be overwhelming, and sometimes you don’t realize how much of yourself you give. But I wouldn’t trade motherhood for anything, and I feel blessed to connect not only with my own child, but all the children I get to work with every day. This is truly a Mother’s Day gift I will never forget.”

The moment Webber received the surprise was captured on video and is available here.

RNR has continued to see strong participation in the Mother’s Day Giveaway, with thousands of stories submitted this year from communities across the country. In addition to the grand prize vehicle, participating RNR stores RNR honored deserving mothers with free sets of tires.

Together, these resources give franchise partners the tools needed to open and operate successfully while staying focused on studio execution and the client experience. With an average unit volume of $1.13 million, JETSET’s strong studio performance has helped attract entrepreneurs interested in bringing the brand’s modern Pilates experience to their own communities, further fueling its nationwide expansion.

“This milestone is especially meaningful because it reflects both new franchise partner demand and continued growth from our existing owners,” said Tamara Galinsky, Founder and Brand President of JETSET Pilates. “Reaching 400 territories so soon after we sold our 350^th is a powerful reflection of how far JETSET has come, and we’re incredibly excited to build on this momentum as we continue expanding into new communities.”

Alongside JETSET’s major growth milestone, the brand has also been selected as one of Athletech News’ Most Innovative Companies of 2026, a list of the most cutting-edge, forward-thinking brands in the fitness and wellness industry.

In addition to surpassing 400 territories sold, JETSET’s continued studio-opening momentum is being supported by strong franchise partner demand, growing consumer interest in elevated Pilates concepts and a scalable support model designed to help the brand expand across key U.S. markets.

“As we continue expanding, our focus is on growing with intention and making sure our franchise partners have the tools, training and support they need to succeed,” said Bert Albertse, CEO of JETSET Pilates. “We’ve prioritized operational infrastructure so franchisees can stay focused on delivering a premium studio experience and building strong communities. That foundation positions us well to continue scaling thoughtfully while maintaining the quality and consistency that define the JETSET experience.”
