RooterMan, a familiar name in plumbing and drain services, has earned a coveted spot on Entrepreneur magazine’s 2025 list of Top Brands for Multi-Unit Owners. The recognition highlights not just the scale of the brand, but its ability to create lasting opportunities for franchisees seeking to expand beyond a single territory.
The accolade arrives at a moment when multi-unit ownership has become the standard bearer of credibility in franchising. More and more operators are looking to grow, and Entrepreneur’s annual ranking is seen as a barometer for which brands are best equipped to foster that expansion. RooterMan’s inclusion underscores its reputation as a reliable, franchisee-focused system in a crowded marketplace.
Paul Flick, chief executive of Premium Service Brands, the parent company of RooterMan, credited the award to the franchisees themselves. “Our success comes from our passionate franchisees who continue to grow with us,” he said. “Their dedication is the driving force behind this recognition.”
Founded in the early 1980s, RooterMan has grown into a network of hundreds of locations across the United States and Canada. That scale, Flick said, has been made possible by a system of training, marketing, and operational support designed to help owners manage growth without losing sight of service quality.
For many franchisees, the decision to add units is as much about trust in the brand as it is about ambition. RooterMan has built its model around that trust, offering a framework that makes expansion less risky and more rewarding. The formula is straightforward: give operators the tools to succeed, then reward their momentum.
The recognition by Entrepreneur is less a finish line than a milestone. As the brand continues to attract investors and operators alike, it signals that RooterMan’s model—steady, tested, and focused on franchisee empowerment—remains as relevant today as it did at its founding. For prospective owners looking to enter the market, the company’s presence on the list offers both reassurance and inspiration.
