America’s Premier Bathroom Remodeler Expands Regional Growth While Validating Franchise Opportunity

MIAMI — Re-Bath, the nation’s largest complete bathroom remodeling franchise, has announced a signed agreement in Florida that will cover Miami and all surrounding communities in Dade County. Re-Bath currently has 11 locations operating in Florida and is set to venture into even more new markets within the state, and throughout the East Coast. With large retailer partnerships contributing to the brand’s growth and market share gains driving a nearly 31% YOY increase in systemwide sales, prospective franchisees are flocking to the Re-Bath franchise opportunity.

Spearheading the brand’s expansion across Florida is experienced franchisee Joel Dichi, who has been with the brand since July 2020. After earning his master’s degree from Stanford University, Dichi started a franchise brand in his native country of Venezuela, which grew on an international scale to more than 500 locations. He and his wife then moved to Miami to diversify their portfolio and began purchasing properties for renovation. This new venture grew rapidly, adding to their business success. When COVID hit, Dichi decided that it was time for his next investment, so he purchased two existing Re-Bath locations in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, Florida.

Over the past two years, Dichi has flourished within the brand, earning recognition as Rookie of the Year in 2022 for his exceptional achievement in growing sales sixfold across his locations. With the franchise brand’s proven track record, Dichi has chosen to expand his presence in Florida, reflecting in his confidence in Re-Bath’s continued growth and success.

“There is tremendous potential for growth in Florida, and my team and I are committed to bringing Re-Bath’s exceptional services to Miami and the surrounding areas,” said Dichi. “The demand for high-quality bathroom remodeling solutions is evident, and we are excited to leverage Re-Bath’s proven business model to meet this need while contributing to the brand’s continued success in the area.”

With development surging across the region, Re-Bath is looking for entrepreneurs who are ready to stake their claim in the home improvement industry. With two additional territories available in Florida, including Gainesville and Tallahassee, company leadership has identified the state as a prime area for growth in addition to several other Southeast territories including Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Virginia, Jackson, Mississippi and Tri-Cities, Tennessee.

“With Joel’s business acumen and extensive experience in the franchise industry, there is no doubt he will continue to be an invaluable asset to the Re-Bath team,” said Brad Hillier, CEO of Re-Bath. “This agreement underscores our confidence in the strength of Re-Bath’s franchise model and our dedication to providing homeowners with top-notch solutions for their bathroom renovation needs.”

The impressive growth achieved by the brand has not gone unnoticed as Re-Bath recently earned the No. 192 spot on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2024 Franchise 500®, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Re-Bath also ranked No. 2 on Qualified Remodeler’s Top 500 Nationals List and was recognized as No. 1 in the “Best Bathroom Renovations” category on Bob Vila’s Best Home Improvement Contractors of 2022 Ranking.

The franchise is building on this momentum for repeated success throughout 2024, with a goal of awarding 17 additional franchises in the year ahead that will grow its unit count to more than 150.

In March of 2023, the brand announced a two-territory signed agreement that would service Suffolk and Westchester counties along with an additional signed agreement for Buffalo, New York in October.

“Robert and Grace are a great addition to our system, bringing with them vast industry and market experience,” said Brad Hillier, CEO of Re-Bath. “Their experience in dealing with a large volume of customers paired with their knowledge of the community sets them up for huge success as Re-Bath franchisees.

America’s Largest Bathroom Remodeler Finds ‘Growth from Within’ Strategy Helping Drive Aggressive Domestic Expansion

PHOENIX — Re-Bath, the nation’s largest complete bathroom remodeling franchise, announces five signed agreements – all with existing franchisees – further validating the franchise opportunity and proven business model. This news builds on the brand’s impressive development efforts as it inches closer to a unit count of over 150 in the coming years.

Existing franchisees are doubling down on their investments with the brand, validating Re-Bath’s unparalleled franchise office support and infrastructure for growth. Behind the five newly signed agreements are:

Guy & Patricia Lolmaugh – The Lolmaughs signed on with Re-Bath in 2011 to operate in Lake Villa, IL. Their Re-Bath operates as a family business with Guy and Patricia at the helm and support from their daughter Christina Lolmaugh, along with daughter Beth Van Dyke and her husband Jon Van Dyke. Looking to take on a major DMA, they signed on for the Milwaukee market and are now open and operating.
Mark and Karen Dufour – The husband-wife-team has owned Re-Bath in Panama City Beach since 2010. Finding immense success over the past decade-plus, the duo recently signed on to add Pensacola to their portfolio which is set to begin servicing the market in Q1 2024.
Jeff Oslund – With nearly three decades of success operating Re-Bath in the Detroit DMA, Oslund also now operates the Toledo market – having begun servicing the area early this year. Eager to capitalize on Midwest expansion opportunity, Oslund adds Traverse City to his portfolio as a natural extension of the success he continues to build in the Michigan market. Re-Bath in Traverse City is set to open in Q1 2024.
Henery Wall – Wall currently owns four territories spanning Oklahoma and Texas. He operates these businesses with multiple family members, and has done so for the past 12 years. Since opening his doors, he’s experienced impressive growth with steady year-over-year revenue increases. This has impacted his decision to further grow his portfolio, adding Wichita, KS to his growing roster which is set to open in Q1 2024.
Joel Dichi – After moving from Venezuela to the United States in 2015, Dichi brought his natural entrepreneurial spirit with him and joined the Re-Bath franchise system in 2020. He currently operates two Florida markets, Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, and was recognized by the brand as “Rookie of the Year” in 2022 for his tremendous accomplishments. Now, he’s decided to expand his portfolio even further to operate the Miami DMA in Q1 2024.

“Investing in more territories within this franchise was a no-brainer,” said Dichi. “After purchasing two existing territories in Florida, we were able to grow our sales more than six times over since we first opened, and knew there was more that we could achieve. The unwavering support and the rock-solid business model provided by our franchisor have been instrumental in our success. We’ve witnessed firsthand the commitment to our growth, and it’s that kind of partnership that makes expanding with this brand a truly exciting journey.”

Large retail partnerships have proven successful for Re-Bath’s overall growth and market share gains, driving nearly a 31% year-over-year increase in systemwide franchise installed sales. Not only are these partnerships with top-tier retailers helping to elevate brand awareness, but they are also contributing to franchisee’s bottom line. Per Re-Bath’s Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees that opened prior to 2020 had average revenues of $4.9M in 2022*.

“We’ve set forth aggressive franchise development goals, and when existing franchisees choose to expand their commitment, it truly validates our business model as we continue to welcome new owners to the system as well,” said Brad Hillier, CEO of Re-Bath. “This validation from within our own franchisee community reinforces the trust and partnership that defines our brand’s success. We are excited to see our franchise family grow, knowing that their enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit will continue to shape our collective future.”

With the home improvement industry projected to reach $620B by 2025, Re-Bath is poised to continue its market leadership and growth. The brand continues to seek strategic franchise partners to expand its footprint nationwide. Company leadership has identified prime growth markets across Florida, including Tallahassee, Gainesville, North Tampa, and Port St. Lucie, as the state continues to experience a major housing boom.

The impressive growth achieved by the brand has not gone unnoticed as Re-Bath recently earned the No. 283 spot on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2023 Franchise 500®, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Re-Bath also ranked No. 2 on Qualified Remodeler‘s Top 500 Nationals List and was recognized as No. 1 in the “Best Bathroom Renovations” category on Bob Vila’s 2022 Best Home Improvement Contractors of 2022 Ranking.

Our top goal is to ensure everyone feels the success of our business – from customers, to employees, to the Re-Bath system.”

As the largest bathroom remodeling company in the United States, Re-Bath has established a proven business model, unparalleled franchise office support, and an infrastructure for growth as it continues to seek strategic franchise partners to expand its footprint nationwide.

Leading Bathroom Remodeling Franchise’s Streamlined & Enhanced Operations Drive Strong Brand Performance.

PHOENIX — Franchise Update Media announces the winners of its 5^th annual Franchise Innovation Awards, recognizing Re-Bath, the nation’s largest complete bathroom remodeling company, with the Most Innovative Operations Team Award.

The prestigious honor celebrates franchisors creating and implementing the most original and successful innovative strategies and tactics to build their brand. Accepting the award was marketing leader Sharon Villegas, CRO of Re-Bath, and Jenn Ksobiech, who lead reputation management.

A jury of judges evaluated the innovation, objectives, and results of more than 150 entrants. Franchise innovators, game-changers, and disruptors competed in four categories: Marketing & Branding, Products & Services, Operations, and Human Resources. Twenty-two winners were chosen from among the four categories.

The Most Innovative Operations Team award is under the Operations and Technology category. This category focused on teams that work to improve and streamline all processes and practices through innovations in technology, tactics, support, and more.

Re-Bath’s Operations Team set out on a mission to improve the brand’s customer experience and strengthen overall brand reputation across the system. Understanding that customer satisfaction is at the center of everything, the Operations Team conducted immense research to information-gather, fact-find, and collaborate on innovative solutions to achieve these objectives – such as, leaning into training enhancements, making strategic hires, streamlining communication, and bringing ease to the review process.

As a result of an innovative multi-layered approach, the Operations Team was able to streamline and enhance the customer experience, ultimately leading to an increase in reviews and star-ratings.

“We are thrilled and honored to receive the Most Innovative Operations Team Award from Franchise Update Media,” said Villegas. “This prestigious recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our reputation management group in revolutionizing the customer experience and strengthening our brand’s reputation. By prioritizing customer satisfaction and leveraging innovative solutions, we have successfully enhanced our customers’ journey and witnessed a significant increase in reviews and star-ratings.”

As CRO, Villegas is responsible for marketing, national partnerships, franchise sales, and product development. She has played a large role in the strengthening of the brand’s reputation and increase in reviews due to her oversight of the marketing department.

This recognition adds to Re-Bath’s remarkable 2023 YTD, as the brand continues to grow in unit count and same-store-sales. Large retail partnerships have proven successful for Re-Bath’s overall growth and market share gains, driving nearly a 31% year-over-year increase in systemwide franchise installed sales. In 2022, Re-Bath gained another big-box retail partner in the home improvement space. Not only are these partnerships with top-tier retailers helping to elevate brand awareness, but they are also contributing to franchisee’s bottom line, making Re-Bath’s franchise opportunity an attractive investment.

Per Re-Bath’s Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees that opened prior to 2020 had average revenues of $4.9M in 2022*.

Key to Re-Bath’s continued strong performance will be the TZP Group acquisition, a strategic continued focus on partnering with exceptional franchisees, strengthening world-class corporate support, and enhancing the customer-service experience with new technology and innovation. Combined, these efforts will help propel Re-Bath to a household name across the country.

“This award further validates our commitment to excellence and fuels our momentum as we continue to grow and excel in the bathroom remodeling industry,” added Villegas. “We are grateful for the support of our franchisees and the partnerships we have formed, driving our continued success in 2023 and beyond.”

We remain dedicated to driving the future of our industry by delivering cutting-edge products, fostering a culture of innovation, and empowering our franchisees and customers.”

Under Hillier’s leadership, Re-Bath has achieved impressive growth marks as he continues to lead with a results-forward approach. With large retail partnerships contributing to overall brand strength, Re-Bath aims to award 25 franchisees in 2023 that will grow unit count to 149.

Large retail partnerships have proven successful for Re-Bath’s overall growth and market share gains, driving nearly a 31% year-over-year increase in systemwide franchise installed sales. In 2022, Re-Bath gained another big-box retail partner in the home improvement space. Not only are these partnerships with top-tier retailers helping to elevate brand awareness, but they are also contributing to franchisee’s bottom line, making Re-Bath’s franchise opportunity an attractive investment.

Per Re-Bath’s Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees that opened prior to 2020 had average revenues of $4.9M in 2022*.

Re-Bath is riding a wave of momentum as Hillier seeks to double the business in the next four years, inching closer to the goal of becoming a billion-dollar-company. Key to achieving this milestone will be the TZP Group acquisition, a strategic continued focus on partnering with exceptional franchisees, strengthening world-class corporate support, and enhancing the customer-service experience with new technology and innovation. Combined, these efforts will help propel Re-Bath to a household name across the country.

The success achieved by Re-Bath has not gone unnoticed, ranking No. 2 on Qualified Remodeler‘s Top 500 Nationals List and was recognized by Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500^®, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Most recently, Re-Bath earned the No. 1 spot on Bob Vila’s 2022 Best Home Improvement Contractors of 2022 Ranking for “Best Bathroom Renovations.”

Franchising Expert Invests in America’s Largest Bathroom Remodeler to Expand in New York Territories.

NEW YORK — Re-Bath, the nation’s largest complete bathroom remodeling franchise, has announced a two-territory signed agreement in the New York market servicing Suffolk County, Long Island and Westchester County, New York. With large retailer partnerships contributing to the brand’s growth and market share gains driving nearly a 31% YOY increase in systemwide sales, prospective franchisees are flocking to the franchise opportunity. Leadership sees vast opportunity for growth in the East Coast, with more than eight available territories across New York.

Behind the signed agreement is veteran franchise owner Jim Berardi, now a multi-brand and multi-unit franchise owner with the addition of two Re-Bath Franchise territories. Notably, he’s previously been a top owner with N-Hance Wood Refinishing. In 2022, Berardi won the N-Hance Service Excellence Award out of 140 franchisees for the best service experience, and has been nominated for the Rising Star award in 2021 and 2022. Being in the home service industry for over 14 years, Berardi currently owns multiple home service businesses and is looking for additional opportunity to expand his franchising success – insert Re-Bath.

In addition to providing homeowners with expert, affordable, and effortless bathroom remodeling solutions, Berardi is especially interested in, and dedicated to, providing the elderly with accessibility bathroom solutions for those who are seeking to stay in their homes and gracefully age in place.

“By investing in Re-Bath, I want to provide a professional bathroom remodeling experience to those aging in place with an easy bathroom remodel from design to completion in half the time than our competitors,” said Berardi. “With Re-Bath’s national notoriety and established culture, I am truly excited to invest in a franchise that has an immense amount of support for their franchisees.”

As the largest bathroom remodeling company in the United States, Re-Bath has established a proven business model, unparalleled franchise office support, and an infrastructure for growth as it continues to seek strategic franchise partners to expand its footprint nationwide.

“Jim Berardi has proven to be the perfect addition to our brand with his past success in the home service industry,” said Brad Hillier, CEO of Re-Bath. “We are excited to have him join our franchise system and continue to expand the New York area. There is great opportunity for continued growth across the region with a large population we currently aren’t reaching.”

With this signed agreement, development is set to launch in May in Suffolk County, Long Island and in Westchester County, NY (which includes Westchester County, Rockland, and Putnam Counties). Re-Bath is additionally looking for franchise partners to expand into the five boroughs of New York City (The Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island) with possible development in a total of five territories, one territory per borough. Leadership also sees opportunity available for potential franchisees to invest in upstate New York in Buffalo, Syracuse, and Rochester.

Helping fuel these development efforts is newly appointed Vice President of Franchise Development, Adam Petersen, who joins the team with over 15 years of sales experience and over 10 years of experience in the franchise industry.

The impressive growth achieved by the brand has not gone unnoticed as Re-Bath recently earned the No. 283 spot on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2023 Franchise 500®, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Re-Bath also ranked No. 2 on Qualified Remodeler‘s Top 500 Nationals List and was recognized as No. 1 in the “Best Bathroom Renovations” category on Bob Vila’s 2022 Best Home Improvement Contractors of 2022 Ranking. The franchise is building off this momentum for repeated success throughout 2023, with a goal of awarding 25 franchise agreements while strengthening performance and same-store-sales.

Leading Bathroom Remodeling Franchise Expands Footprint in Virginia and Maryland with Seasoned Entrepreneur.

WASHINGTON — Re-Bath, the nation’s largest complete bathroom remodeling franchise, has announced a single territory signed agreement for the greater D.C. market. The territory spans northeast Virginia, from Leesburg to Fredericksburg, and officially opened on January 13. With large retailer partnerships contributing to the brand’s growth and market share gains driving nearly an 31% YOY increase in systemwide sales, existing and new franchisees are flocking to the franchise opportunity.

Growing Re-Bath’s presence on the East Coast is Raj Kapoor, a self-starting entrepreneur and longtime Virginia native. Kapoor began his entrepreneurial journey after opening his first restaurant at age 19. Since then, he has opened more than 15 restaurants – having completed the construction himself and running the operations for each one. When the business started doing well, Kapoor would sell it and start over on a new endeavor. While he still runs one deli-style restaurant in D.C., Kapoor sought after a change and wanted to get into a business with a franchise model.

“I came across Re-Bath after getting my deck done with Lowe’s and was impressed with the streamlined process,” said Kapoor. “My past experiences were never like this – I am used to having to chase after the contractors. With my Re-Bath opened and operating, I hope it becomes a business that customers can rely on, which is important for home remodeling. I’ve lived in Virginia for 32 years so I see there’s a need for bathroom remodeling services and I look forward to being a dependable business for my community and beyond.”

Re-Bath has grown into a trusted and respected service provider known for expert, affordable, and effortless bathroom remodeling solutions that transform homeowners’ bathrooms in days, not weeks. Whether seeking a tub or shower area update, better accessibility and safety in your bathroom or a complete bathroom remodel, Re-Bath makes bathroom remodeling easy. The company’s exclusive remodel process removes old materials and fixtures and replaces them with beautiful new options in a wide variety of colors and styles.

“When bringing on a new franchisee, you want that partner to align with the brand’s vision and Raj is exactly that person,” said Sharon Villegas, Chief Revenue Officer of Re-Bath. “He values the franchise model, and even with his vast entrepreneur experience, he knew he needed to first understand our model. We are excited to have a passionate franchisee brought onboard who is fully invested in our brand.”

As the largest bathroom remodeling company in the United States, Re-Bath has established a proven business model, unparalleled franchise office support, and an infrastructure for growth as it continues to seek strategic franchise partners to expand its footprint nationwide. The executive leadership team has seen consistent new development across the East Coast with 24 territories still available for growth, three specifically in the D.C. market. Collectively, the D.C. territories boast a population count of 4.5 million and 11 retail partner stores.

Per Re-Bath’s Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees with territories between 1.25 and 2.5 million people had average revenues of over $2.8 million in 2021, up over 21% from 2020*.
