## Story

San Antonio may be roughly 9,000 miles from Australia, but at least one Koala is hoping to make The Alamo City its new home.

Koala Insulation, a franchisor of spray foam insulation businesses, Tuesday announced its plans to expand in the San Antonio, Texas metro area. The brand will establish several new territories across Greater San Antonio, creating opportunities for area entrepreneurs to get into a growing, high-demand business.

Koala is particularly intrigued by San Antonio’s potential because it’s the U.S.’s fourth-fastest growing city, includes a number of growing residential and suburban communities, and also experiences high summer heat, which makes the market a natural fit for insulation services.

“San Antonio homeowners are increasingly focused on energy efficiency, indoor comfort and storm resilience, and that’s exactly where Koala Insulation delivers value,” said Alan Woods, Director of Operations at Koala Insulation. “Our expansion into San Antonio is not about growing our business. Instead, we want to empower local business owners and honor local communities with reliable and energy-efficient insulation.”

Koala Insulation was founded in 2018 and began franchising two years later. The brand’s network currently includes more than 350 locations and is growing towards 400. Koala has built a strong platform and scaled rapidly by focusing on standardized systems, best-in-class training, and marketing.

The brand provides a variety of insulation solutions, including spray foam, blown-in, and batt (blanket) offerings. Koala Insulation prides itself on being an eco-friendly company that increases energy efficiency for homes and businesses, creating more comfortable living spaces and lowering bills while protecting the environment.

“Prioritizing the environment through sustainable insulation solutions is a priority to us and our customers,” said Woods. “By targeting San Antonio for expansion, Koala Insulation aims to meet rising demand while creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs seeking to enter the $52 billion energy efficiency industry.”

Koala Insulation is part of the Empower Brands portfolio of home services providers, which also includes names like JAN-PRO Systems International cleaning services, Superior Fence & Rail, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, and Wallaby Windows.

As they expand into San Antonio and beyond, Koala Insulation is actively seeking to connect with new franchise candidates.
