Celebrating 25 Years of PuroClean Franchise History

Here’s what you’ll learn after reading this article: 

• PuroClean is celebrating 25 years of franchise history in 2026, expanding to more than 500 locations across North America.  

• The brand’s leadership team has driven strong growth, boosting system-wide sales by 48% since 2022 through a scalable business model and dedicated owner training. 

• Prospective entrepreneurs can join the expanding network as the company targets $1 billion in system-wide growth by entering underserved markets.  

Marking 25 years of franchise history in 2026, PuroClean celebrates a quarter century of success, operating with a time-tested business model and continually refining and improving its strategy and system.  

The company has grown to include more than 500 franchise locations across North America, an accomplishment only achieved by 7% of franchise brands nationwide. In fact, most private-sector businesses close within a decade, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.  

PuroClean has positioned itself as a leader in the property damage restoration and remediation industry, creating an opportunity for Franchise Owners to realize high-profit margins while providing an important service in their communities. Notably, PuroClean’s top performing franchise generated $20,000,000 in gross revenue in 2025* by utilizing the company’s proven systems that support a scalable business. 

Franchise Leadership 

One of the reasons for PuroClean’s success is that the leadership team doesn’t remain satisfied with past success but constantly strives to improve its franchise business model.  

Since 2015, Chairman and CEO Mark W. Davis, Vice Chairman Frank Torre, and President Steve White have accelerated the brand’s evolution, reinforcing a Servant Leadership culture grounded in memorable principles like “1% better each day” and “99% equals zero.” 

This forward-thinking approach and a focus on franchise culture, with extensive training and support for Franchise Owners, are just some of the reasons that PuroClean is now celebrating 25 years in business. 

Under the private ownership of Davis and Torre, PuroClean has grown into the largest privately owned restoration franchise in the country, allowing the brand to take a long-term approach to growth and invest in the continued success of its Franchise Owners without the pressure of short-term shareholder expectations. Whether that means investing in commercial large loss capabilities and strategic partnerships or expanding advanced training and resources, PuroClean continues to build the infrastructure that helps Franchise Owners pursue new opportunities and grow their businesses. 

Enlisting Entrepreneurs 

Further franchise growth is possible with business-minded individuals who are dedicated and willing to put in the work in this recession-resistant industry with recurring demand. Whether converting an independent restoration operation, becoming a first-time business owner, or diversifying your portfolio, PuroClean provides a launchpad and a proven path to success. 

The company boasts a history of development and progress. Following strong sales in the United States, PuroClean’s first franchise in Canada opened in 2010. Only a year later, the PuroClean Academy’s Applied Structural Drying (ASD) training facility, known as the “Flood House,” opened in Tamarac, Florida, following approval by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification.   

The leadership team’s commitment has driven an increase in system-wide sales by 48% since 2022. And others are taking notice: PuroClean recently landed at No. 91 on Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500 list, solidifying its spot in the top 100 for the fifth straight year. PuroClean was also named one of Franchise Dictionary Magazine’s Top 100 Game Changers with no signs of slowing down.  

PuroClean is dedicated to strengthening national partnerships and reaching its long-term goal of becoming a $1 billion franchise system by growing business in existing areas and expanding into underserved markets.
