Rolling Suds Makes Power Play with Launch of High-Demand Service Franchise Opportunity

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-02-08T10:35:10-05:00February 8th, 2023|Tags: power washing franchise, Professional Wash Method, residential and commercial customers, Rolling Suds|

30-Year-Old Proven Leader in Residential + Commercial Power Washing Fills Niche in $1.8B Home Service Industry.

PHILADELPHIA — Rolling Suds, a leader in residential and commercial power washing for 30-plus years, announced it is bringing its proven “Professional Wash Method” to the masses with the introduction of franchise opportunities in markets around the country.

With a successful corporate location based in Pennsylvania that’s positioned as one of the few multi-million-dollar power washing businesses in the U.S., the Rolling Suds franchise opportunity fills a need and has vast whitespace available nationwide.

Rolling Suds was founded in the greater Philadelphia area in 1990 by Brian Wendling Sr. and eventually became a father-duo business with the addition of Brian Wendling Jr. as co-owner. Spearheading the franchising growth strategy is Rolling Suds CEO Aaron Harper, an experienced industry veteran who is also the CEO and Founder of Franchise Overdrive. Having helped hundreds of entrepreneurs find their path to business ownership, Harper’s role as franchisor of Rolling Suds was a natural progression.

“A year ago, I set out to take everything I have learned in franchising and working with entrepreneurs, and channel it all into becoming a franchisor myself,” shared Harper. “What attracted me most to Rolling Suds is their focus on doing one thing, and doing it better than anyone else – power washing. Currently, the power washing industry is fragmented with companies that lack the necessary experience to do the job right. With more than 30 years under their belt, the Wendling’s have dialed in systems and processes that allow them to provide services better than anyone else.”

The launch of the Rolling Suds franchise comes at an opportune time, as the global home services industry is projected to reach $1.8 billion by 2030, a 21+% increase from 2022. With top-of-the-line equipment and highly trained professionals, Rolling Suds is a sustainable business with the ability to invest back into itself.

“This is an exciting time for Rolling Suds,” said Brian Wendling Jr. “We’ve put our heart and soul into building this company’s foundation and stellar reputation over the years as the nation’s most professional power washers. Now we’re looking ahead to the next phase of growth through giving franchisees an opportunity to apply all of our proven processes and systems in a Rolling Suds power washing business of their own.”

The Rolling Suds brand and franchise is built on three core elements – relationships, reputation and reliability – and each are applicable to both consumers and franchisees. Having unparalleled experience in such an unregulated industry, Rolling Suds franchisees will be able to differentiate themselves from competitors through a recession-resistant business model.

One key differentiator of Rolling Suds is the quality and process of the service itself. Rolling Suds has even coined its own term, the “Professional Wash Method,” which credits its high-quality materials and expert staff of washers.

“There are franchises that offer power washing as one of its services, but it’s not comparable to Rolling Suds,” added Harper. “Consumers like to hire businesses that do one thing really well versus a variety of things that are done subpar. I am confident that we will build a robust team of franchisees who are just as passionate about the business and its potential.”

Rolling Suds is looking to bring on single and multi-unit franchisees. For more information on its franchise opportunity, visit https://rollingsudsfranchise.com/get-started/ or call 215-392-2368.

ABOUT ROLLING SUDS:

Rolling Suds is the premier franchise in power washing, bringing unparalleled standards to an unregulated industry. The company, founded more than 30 years ago, has helped more than 100,000 residential and commercial customers throughout the northeast while building a great reputation by hiring the best people, using the best equipment, and providing the best experience in the industry. Anchored by years of unmatched results, Rolling Suds aims to make power washing one less thing to worry about for customers across the U.S. by expanding into new markets.

“Benetrends is excited to now provide designated franchisors and their franchisees access to the critical funding needed to expand their current operations or purchase their first franchise,” said Rocco Fiorentino, President & CEO of Benetrends, Inc. “We’re pleased to award BODY20 $30 million, as they look to meet their future development needs following their record-setting growth in 2022.”

P.volve Continues Expansion with the Growth of its Studio Franchise Business and the Grand Opening of Inaugural Franchisee in Southern California

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-02-07T20:24:20-05:00February 7th, 2023|Tags: fitness company, functional movement, P.volve, proprietary equipment|

The popular functional fitness brand is scaling its brick-and-mortar footprint with new franchise location signings, its first franchise studio opening in San Diego, and more doors opening later this year.

NEW YORK — P.volve, the omni-channel fitness company with an innovative, science-led method that pairs functional movement with proprietary equipment, is opening its first franchise studio this week in San Diego. The newly minted San Diego location builds on the company’s existing owned and operated brick-and-mortar locations in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. The physical studios are just one more way to experience P.volve’s signature, low impact, resistance-based method which pushes you to break a sweat, but not your body.

P.volve’s programming is currently also accessible via a digital membership that offers unlimited access to stream the brand’s extensive live and on-demand library of classes, series and challenges via P.volve.com and a mobile app. Consumers who purchase an unlimited studio membership automatically get unlimited access to P.volve’s digital offering. Through its hybrid offerings, P.volve is designed to meet modern fitness consumers where they are and on their own terms.

“The franchise model allows us to bring P.volve’s unique method and patented equipment to more people, especially to those who crave live, in-person training,” said P.volve President Julie Cartwright. “We recognize that today’s consumer expects hybrid experiences across all aspects of their life, from work to shopping to fitness. Sometimes you just want to roll out of bed and get a killer workout at home, and other times you want to head to a class and train alongside others. P.volve can deliver on both.”

As the company fast-tracks toward its aggressive goal of opening more franchise studios this year, it’s also looking to new markets across the U.S., UK and Canada.

The San Diego Location

The first franchised studio, located within Westfield UTC (4575 La Jolla Village Dr #1172, San Diego) is situated in one of P.volve’s top 20 digital markets for virtual class registrations and is owned by Kirstin and John Keohane, who have signed on for three locations within the area. Kirstin Keohane has a lifelong love of fitness and sport, and at one time competed at the national level in ringette, a sport similar to hockey.

“P.volve is changing the conversation around holistic wellness. Our workouts fill a real need in fitness, marrying both intense toning with functional movements that help restore and support the body so you can feel incredible both inside and out,” said P.volve franchise owner Kirstin Keohane. “We’re proud to open P.volve’s first franchise studio and look forward to bringing this effective low-impact method that improves strength, stability, mobility and physique to greater San Diego.”

The momentum doesn’t stop at San Diego. P.volve has also awarded franchises for studios across the U.S., all set to open by Q4 2023. Confirmed areas include Northwest Suburbs, Ill.; Bergen County, N.J.; Carlsbad, Cali.; Fort Worth, Texas and Nashville, Tenn., as well as two locations in Canada, Calgary and Victoria, with several additional franchisees in the pipeline.

All franchised P.volve studio locations are strategically situated in areas of concentrated demand. P.volve works to equip partners with a toolkit for success, from providing valuable data, site scores and demographic reports, to access to an experienced real estate and general contracting team—all to ensure the process of opening a studio is seamless and efficient.

Roll-off Dumpster Rental Business Maintains Strong Retention Rate Earning Several Franchise Industry Accolades.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Since its inception, redbox+ Dumpsters has become the answer to the construction, renovation, and restoration industries’ woes on how to keep job sites clean and efficient. While it also offers traditional roll-off dumpsters, the company is best known for its patented combination portable toilet and roll-off dumpster container that brings added convenience and efficiency to any job site.

The past 12 months have led to strong performance for redbox+ Dumpsters due to the increased demand for home renovations in the construction segment, coupled with the brand’s promise to deliver its innovative roll-off dumpsters on time. The company closed out 2022 with upwards of 300 franchise territories and more than 80 franchisees across the country. In addition, it has continued to hold a 90 percent retention rate with contract partners and its position as a market differentiator in an economically resilient sector. In 2023, redbox+ Dumpsters is expecting another year of double-digit unit growth by adding individuals to the franchise system who have a desire to be a part of the brand’s upward growth trajectory, be independent and are dedicated to providing the highest level of customer service.

Starting 2023 off strong, redbox+ Dumpsters has been recognized as number one in its category and in the top half of Entrepreneur Magazine’s ‘Franchise 500’ list. Within the past year, the brand was also placed on Franchise Dictionary Magazine’s annual list of the “Top 100 Game Changers”. After reviewing hundreds of entries, Franchise Dictionary Magazine’s editorial team selected redbox+ Dumpsters as a brand that has changed the game, further proving its innovative product line has positioned the brand as a disruptor in its segment.

Additionally, much of redbox+ Dumpsters’ expansion in recent years can be attributed to being acquired by BELFOR Franchise Group, a family of 13 industry-leading residential and commercial service brands owned by the worldwide restoration leader BELFOR Property Restoration. The relationship has brought redbox+ Dumpsters franchise owners tangible benefits and further solidified the brand as one of the most trusted names in the business. This has allowed entrepreneurs to build successful businesses in their local community as a result of BELFOR’s built-in expansive knowledge, operational expertise, and ecosystem of connections in the service industry. So far, the home office team has added three new regional business coaches and a marketing coordinator to support franchisees as the brand scales toward a national footprint.

“We are extremely excited about the growth we’ve seen in the past few years and the growth we see ahead of us,” said Rusty Amarante, president of redbox+ Dumpsters. “A turnkey business model combined with an innovative concept like ours sets franchisees up for success. It’s incredible to see how we are making a positive impact on people’s lives by giving them the opportunity to build a successful business in their communities.”
