## Story

At least that’s the trend Pool Scouts has been seeing in many of its franchise business markets. According to Franchise Times, the pool cleaning and maintenance concept has seen a significant boom in business now that families are being encouraged to stay homes and make the most of their time together.

Pool Scouts, which services mostly residential pools, has seen a 74 percent increase in same-store network revenue since the start of the pandemic.

“Neighborhood pools are closed now, but people still want to swim and be outside and pools have become a really important part of that,” Michael Wagner, president of Pool Scouts, told Franchise Times. “The pool itself is a safe haven for families, and if they don’t have to interact with the people who clean their pools, they can feel safe about having that service done.”
