Re-Bath

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.”

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.

Growing Re-Bath’s presence on the East Coast is Raj Kapoor, a self-starting entrepreneur and longtime Virginia native.

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.”

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.

Multi-Unit Franchisees Further Investing in Bathroom Remodeling Franchise as Systemwide Sales Continue to Soar.

CHICAGO — Re-Bath, the nation’s largest complete bathroom remodeling franchise, has announced a two-territory signed agreement servicing the greater Indianapolis, Indiana market, a signed agreement in Missouri servicing the Kansas City DMA, and a single-territory agreement for the greater Toledo, Ohio market. With large retailer partnerships contributing to the brand’s growth and market share gains driving nearly an 80% YOY increase in systemwide sales, existing and new franchisees are flocking to the franchise opportunity. Leadership sees vast opportunity for Midwest growth with more than 10 available territories across five states.

Behind the two-territory Indianapolis agreement is Chris Horney who owns Re-Bath franchises in Cleveland, Columbus, and Pittsburgh. Having seen immense success across these existing locations over the past 12 years, Horney was ready for expansion. National retail partnerships continue to provide strong growth opportunity, and after more than a decade in business, Horney has sold over $1M in bathroom remodels. He now looks to the future, continuing to drive strong performance with Re-Bath open and operating in Indianapolis.

“I’ve been on an incredible growth journey with Re-Bath and there’s definitely more expansion in front of us,” said Horney. “Our team has now grown to 70 employees who all play a strategic role in the success and longevity of the business. We’ve built a remarkable culture, all working toward the same goal, and as a result have tenured employees with strong experience fueling our success. In fact, we have several relocating to Indianapolis to help launch the business in this new market.”

The new Kansas City Re-Bath is owned by franchisees, Dan Brouillet, Brandon York, and Julie York. The trio currently own another Kansas City territory. Brouillet also owns Re-Bath Minneapolis that generated $16M in net sales last year alone. This team will use their knowledge of the industry and previous experience to create repeated success.

“Signing on for another Re-Bath location was a natural next step to continue our growth with the brand,” said Julie York. “As an industry leader, Re-Bath has been extremely supportive in our journey and helped us strategically decide the markets that made sense for us to expand into. We’re excited to continue our entrepreneurial journey with the Re-Bath team and further grow the brand’s presence across the Midwest.”

Set to open in January is Re-Bath – Toledo. This territory is owned and operated by existing franchisee Jeff Oslund. With nearly three decades of success operating Re-Bath in the Detroit DMA, Oslund is eager to capitalize on the Midwest expansion opportunity and bring Re-Bath’s services to meet demand in the greater Toledo market.

“Expanding formally into the greater Toledo market is a natural extension of the success we continue to build in the Michigan market,” said Oslund. “We have a great team of employees who are eager to extend our brand experience and capitalize on the remarkable growth we are experiencing.”

A franchise candidate would have exclusive access to these areas and the opportunity to become a prosperous local business.”
