Mosquito Joe, a mosquito control treatment company serving residential and commercial customers nationwide, has closed out 2014 with success. Among the numerous highlights of the year, the brand celebrated the addition of 43 new franchisees and a system-wide increase of sales by 311 percent.
“We experienced tremendous growth in 2014,” said Mosquito Joe CEO Kevin Wilson. “Not only did we expand our services to new areas, but retained 80 percent of our customer base, and established new partnerships with broker networks FranNet and FranChoice.”
In 2015, the franchise expects to open 66 new territories for a total of 105 open by year end.
Mosquito Joe continues to build a strong reputation amongst its clientele and currently has open territories in about twenty states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Texas and Virginia. In 2015, the franchise will continue to expand into new regions across the country, including San Antonio, Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Kansas City, as well as further develop existing regions such as Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, Tampa, Minneapolis and Atlanta.
“Growing our concept with great franchisees and helping them become successful are our top priorities, and we’re certainly on the right track,” said Wilson. “Our franchisee class of 2014 had sales 104 percent higher than 2013’s class.”
The demand for mosquito control solutions is also expected to rise as more people discover the benefits of a mosquito-free yard and lifestyle, paving the way for national expansion of the brand.
With mosquito populations continuing to wreak havoc in the summertime, coupled with an increase in insect-borne illnesses, Mosquito Joe’s growth in 2014 proves that it continues to provide a vital service to communities and a premier business option for future franchisees.
