# Orlando Business Journal: Pool Scouts Announces Intended Expansion

**TL;DR:** Pool Scouts plans to open seven new franchises in metro Orlando as part of its growth plan, providing year-round pool service to residential pool owners. The brand's president, Michael Wagner, cited the area's high concentration of residential pool owners and attractive year-round pool service as reasons for the expansion.

## Story

Pool Scouts, a Virginia Beach-based pool maintenance and cleaning franchise, was recently featured in the Orlando Business Journal for announcing their intended expansion into metro Orlando. The brand plans to open seven new franchises as a part of its growth plan.

"There’s a great concentration of residential pool owners in a tight area and great growth going on across the area,” said Pool Scouts President Michael Wagner. “Year-round pool service is attractive, too."

Wagner also stated that each location would add about five to seven jobs, and the business can be started out of the home, but franchisees eventually will need space to store vehicles and chemicals.
