Puddle Pools, a burgeoning franchisor specializing in pool and spa maintenance, has officially hopped on the Franchise FastLane express, garnering full support from the franchise acceleration experts. Known for their selective portfolio, Franchise FastLane chose Puddle Pools for its impressive balance of simplicity and scalability.
Picture this: you’ve got a smartphone, a singular vehicle, and a handful of tools. Congratulations, you’re ready to start your very own Puddle Pools franchise. The company boasts an accessible, home-based business model with low overhead, minimal equipment, and recurring revenue streams from both residential and commercial clients. It’s pool maintenance made easy—well, relatively.
But why Puddle Pools now? Market conditions seem to be a key factor. According to Arizton Advisory & Intelligence, the U.S. pool maintenance and cleaning sector is projected to grow by 4.17% annually until 2029. With numbers like that, who wouldn’t want a slice of the chlorinated pie?
CEO Mark Amery, the frustrated pool owner turned entrepreneur, launched Puddle Pools in 2018 to address gaps in the market. From humble beginnings, the Vancouver-based company started franchising in 2022 and has since grown to 42 locations. Much of its success can be credited to its stint in Franchise FastLane’s CarPool program—a preparative service created to teach brands how to scale independently before taking the full plunge with FastLane.
The decision to partner was mutual. Franchise FastLane’s president and COO, Tim Koch, said, "Puddle Pools has shown through CarPool that it has a strong, sustainable business foundation. We’re excited for what’s next." Considering FastLane’s track record with emerging franchisors, excitement might be an understatement.
Beyond financial success, Puddle Pools supports its franchisees with top-notch services, including a multilingual call center, embedded marketing, and quick turnaround training. Just six weeks from onboarding to poolside of your very first client. The ease of scaling and operation? A splash hit.
