Frank Torre Named in dBusiness Magazine Award for 9th Year

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

• Frank Torre was named to the dbusiness Magazine “500 Most Powerful Business Leaders in Michigan” list for his ninth consecutive year.
• Torre leads PuroClean’s PuroVet Program, which helps military veterans transition into business ownership through PuroClean franchises.
• The PuroVet program supports veteran Franchise Owners with financial discounts, specialized training, ongoing mentorship, and corporate partner connections.

PuroClean Vice Chairman’s recognition comes as his leadership continues to expand the PuroVet Program’s reach, veteran franchise ownership and impact across the veteran community.

For the ninth consecutive year, Frank Torre, Vice Chairman of PuroClean, has been named to the dBusiness Magazine “500 Most Powerful Business Leaders in Michigan,” recognizing a career defined by entrepreneurship, relationships, community involvement, and an ability to turn opportunity into lasting impact.

While Torre’s business career was built in Detroit, his influence today extends far beyond Michigan. One of the clearest examples can be seen in what has happened with PuroVet, PuroClean’s veteran focused franchise initiative, since Torre became deeply involved in the initiative.

What began as an initiative to introduce veterans to franchise ownership has grown under Torre’s leadership into a much broader commitment to the military and veteran community. He brought his relationships, business experience, personal passion, and ability to connect people behind the initiative, helping PuroVet build a national presence rooted not simply in franchise development, but in service.

That growth is now producing measurable results. In 2026, PuroClean has continued to award franchises to veterans, assisting the PuroVet Program in helping the brands footprint across property restoration. It is a significant milestone for PuroVet and one that demonstrates the potential Torre saw in the initiative.

For veterans leaving military service, entrepreneurship can provide many of the things they valued while serving: a mission, responsibility, a team to lead, problems to solve, and a community to serve. PuroVet is working to make that transition more accessible while surrounding veterans with relationships and people who understand where they came from and what they can accomplish next.

That is also why Torre’s ninth consecutive recognition by dBusiness Magazine carries significance beyond another business accolade. Throughout his career, Torre has demonstrated an ability to recognize potential and then put the people, relationships, and resources behind it to create momentum. That is exactly what has happened with PuroVet.

Today, PuroVet is reaching more veteran business owners, developing deeper relationships throughout the military community, supporting veteran-focused organizations, helping individual veterans when opportunities arise, and turning veteran outreach into something tangible: veteran business ownership.

For Torre, nine consecutive years listed by dBusiness Magazine as one of Michigan’s most powerful business leaders is recognition of a career of influence and sustained record of business leadership.

What he is choosing to do with that influence may ultimately say even more.

Support those who served. Build relationships that matter. Create opportunities. And help veterans find their next mission.
