## Story

Brian Rooney was awarded a territory in Golden, Colorado. He comes to the franchisor with a background in accounting as a controller.

“Sir Grout will afford me the stability and sustainability I’ve been looking for after being in accounting for my entire career,” said Rooney. “I’m excited to build a business that provides a valuable service and get plugged into the Golden community.”

The Santa Ana, California territory was awarded to Jose Esquivel, a chemical engineer with an MBA who spent nearly three decades in the chemical industry. He and his wife have three children and plan to use this stream of income for their education.

“I was impressed with the level of support Sir Grout offers its franchise owners, especially as a first-time franchisee,” said Esquivel. “It’s an honor to join the team, and I’m excited to own a business that will help me build generational wealth for my family.”

Another territory was awarded to Mark and Tracy Hoff in Windsor, California. Mark was a United States Naval Officer and successfully led a corporate career as a director of product development in the medical device industry. Tracy spent her career in publishing and marketing. The couple have three children and are now empty nesters.

“Tracy and I are excited to venture into franchise ownership together,” said Mark. “We chose Sir Grout because it is a great business that is always in demand, and we were very impressed with the marketing and customer support.”

A son of one of the Sir Grout founders, Philip Gill now serves as Sir Grout’s Brand Leader and pours his passion into the brand as it continues to grow. “It’s an honor to carry on the Sir Grout legacy by welcoming these new franchise owners,” said Gill. “Each of them are dedicated to growing a successful business, and we’re here to support them every step of the way.”
