We’re proud to announce the opening of our 500th PuroClean location, marking a powerful moment in our company’s history and a rare milestone in the world of franchising. In a landscape where many brands never make it past 100 units, reaching 500 is a meaningful achievement—one that places PuroClean’s franchise growth strategies among the top 4% of franchise brands in the United States.
How PuroClean Became a Top Property Restoration Franchise
Steve White, President and COO, joined PuroClean in 2013, laying the foundation for the growth that followed. In 2015, Mark W. Davis, Chairman and CEO, and Frank Torre, Vice Chairman, acquired PuroClean, and since then, we’ve more than doubled our footprint from 222 to 500 units, but that’s only part of the story.
Over the same period, our system-wide sales have grown fivefold, reflecting stronger unit economics, better operational support, and a network of property restoration Franchise Owners who are outperforming year over year.
Franchise Growth Strategies Focused on Long-Term Success
This growth didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of careful planning, intentional market development, and a culture that puts our Franchise Owners at the center of everything we do. It’s a franchise growth strategy rooted in sustainability and focused on building high-performing units before expanding into new markets.
“We reached 500 locations by staying focused on what matters most: putting our Franchise Owners first,” says White. “Every decision we make starts with one question—will this help them succeed? That’s the heart of responsible franchising, and it’s what drives long-term growth.”
Why Entrepreneurs Choose PuroClean Over Other Home Services Franchises
PuroClean has become one of the most trusted names for entrepreneurs seeking a strong restoration franchise opportunity, with each phase of growth fueling industry-leading training, broader service capabilities, and an expanded support infrastructure. As a result, we’ve been able to build specialized programs like our Commercial Large Loss initiative, which helps Franchise Owners secure and manage large-scale commercial jobs. We’ve also expanded our PuroVet Program, offering veterans specialized business resources and a 25% discount on the initial franchise fee.
PuroClean’s journey to 500 didn’t just expand our footprint; it elevated our approach to training. In response to our growing system, we developed the PuroLaunch Program to deliver a thorough onboarding experience. Today, this franchise support system delivers one-on-one guidance, hands-on instruction, and a faster path to profitability for every new Franchise Owner.
With every property restoration franchise we award, we gain more shared knowledge, more collaboration, and more momentum to support the next generation of PuroClean Franchise Owners.
As Tim Courtney, Vice President of Franchise Development, puts it, “At 500 units, what stands out most isn’t just our size, it’s our culture. We’ve built a community where people genuinely care about helping each other succeed. A culture like ours is built with intention, and it starts with finding the right fit. We’re focused on a franchise growth strategy that matches the right people to the right opportunity.”
Start Your Own Restoration Franchise
Expanding to 500 units wasn’t about chasing numbers. It was about building a legacy. One shaped by people who truly care about their communities, the essential services they provide, and the incredible work we’ve accomplished together. From water, fire, and mold restoration to biohazard cleanup, our Franchise Owners show up when they’re needed most, often on the worst day of someone’s life, and make a meaningful difference.
