Pinch A Penny Celebrates 50-Year History and Appoints John Mansfield as President

Pinch A Penny has appointed John Mansfield as president. Mansfield will lead the brand's efforts to strengthen franchise owner support, improve store-level performance and customer experience, and modernize the business.

Mansfield brings more than 20 years of experience leading consumer, retail, service, franchise, and multi-unit businesses. His career has combined consumer marketing and brand building with a focus on customer experience, operational performance, and the teams and systems that support franchise owners.

“Pinch A Penny has spent more than 50 years earning the trust of pool owners through expert advice, professional service, and strong local relationships,” said John Mansfield, President at Pinch A Penny. “Our focus is protecting what has made the brand successful while continuing to improve the business. That means providing franchise owners with better tools and support, strengthening the customer experience, and taking a disciplined approach to future growth.”

In 2025, the brand opened new locations and extended its presence into new markets.

The brand has developed tools and training to support franchise owners and customers, including systems to manage routing, invoicing, reporting, inventory, water analysis, and daily service operations.

“Reaching 300 locations and entering new states are important milestones for Pinch A Penny,” said Jim P. Eisch, Vice President of Operations at Pinch A Penny. “What matters most is helping our franchise owners deliver consistent, trusted service to pool owners while continuing to improve the support we provide across the system.”

Demand for pool care remains durable, supported by millions of residential pools and spas across the United States that require ongoing water treatment, maintenance, equipment replacement, and repair. Pinch A Penny serves both customers who prefer to care for their own pools and those who rely on professional pool service and repair.
