## Story

According to PoolPro Magazine , as a result of social distancing and quarantine orders, more and more people across the country have been making regular use of their pools. Virginia Beach-based Pool Scouts has been classified as an essential business in all eight states that it operates in, allowing the brand the ability to operate at full capacity during a time when many businesses are being forced to shut down.

Although Pool Scouts has seen an increase in business this year, it’s still crucial for the entire franchise system to understand how day-to-day operations have changed. Social distancing guidelines must be followed in order to ensure everyone is staying safe.

“In this kind of [social distancing] environment, you want to make sure to over communicate and that’s one of the fundamental things we’re doing,” Michael Wagner President of Pool Scouts told Pool Pro. “We try to provide our franchisees with the latest and greatest information possible. The neat thing about having a franchise community is that you can share best practices pretty quickly across the system.”
