## Story

According to a recent article in the Springfield Business Journal , Renew Crew franchisee Jerry Lesh has seen a 30 percent increase in annual sales amid the pandemic, meaning his franchise is on pace to reach $600,000 in annual revenue. With people spending most of their time at home these days, they are deciding that they want to use their outdoor spaces more.

“A lot of folks are working from home now and taking less vacations, so they’re using their outdoor spaces more,” Lesh told the Journal. “When they want their home exteriors or patios to look nice and clean, that’s where we come in.”

Premium Service Brands , Renew Crew’s parent company, as a whole is up 26 percent in sales. Premium Service Brands’ CEO Paul Flick stated, “People are at home and that’s where they’re spending their time. They’re looking at things they wanted to get done 18, 20 months ago. The home services industry has been a little bit of a silver lining during the tragedy.”
