Pool sales in general have tripled this year due to the thousands of new pools installed during the pandemic as families spent more time in their outdoor spaces. These new pool owners need help with upkeep, and Pool Scouts is uniquely primed to satisfy this demand with quality and professional maintenance services. As a result, more and more savvy entrepreneurs are recognizing Pool Scouts’ recession- and pandemic-proof business opportunity.
In Q3 of 2021 alone, Pool Scouts welcomed five new franchisees to its system. That’s in addition to the 12 new signings in the first half of the year. Pool Scouts broke into two brand new markets this quarter and also sold out the market of Huntsville, Alabama. Last quarter, Pool Scouts also saw its largest development deal to date with a six-unit agreement in Phoenix, Arizona.
