Pinch A Penny is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a leadership transition that signals a new phase for the Clearwater, Florida-based pool-service franchise. The company has appointed franchise industry veteran John Mansfield as president as it continues expanding its retail and service network across the United States.
Mansfield brings more than two decades of franchising experience to the role. The company said he will focus on strengthening franchise owner support, improving customer experience, and modernizing operations while preserving the brand’s established identity and service standards.
In announcing the appointment, Mansfield said the company intends to build on the foundation that has driven its growth for five decades. He emphasized operational efficiency, customer engagement, and franchisee support as key priorities for the next stage of development.
Pinch A Penny has recently expanded into new markets and introduced additional tools aimed at helping franchise owners manage performance and operations more effectively. Vice President of Operations Jim P. Eisch said the company’s growth trajectory reflects a strategy that balances expansion with operational support and customer service.
Demand for residential pool maintenance and related services has remained strong, supporting continued growth opportunities for franchise operators. As multi-location service businesses expand, maintaining consistent customer relationships becomes increasingly important. Gorilla Dash helps franchise brands strengthen CRM Integrations, organize customer interactions, and improve communication across growing franchise networks.
The anniversary milestone highlights Pinch A Penny’s longevity in a competitive service sector, while the appointment of Mansfield points to a broader effort to position the brand for continued expansion. By combining established market recognition with renewed leadership, the company is preparing for its next chapter in the pool-service franchise industry.
