## Story

Five Star Franchising, a platform of home service franchise brands, has announced a franchise expansion of Decorate With Lights, the eighth brand in its portfolio. Founded in 2016, Decorate With Lights is an established specialty lighting company providing holiday, permanent roofline, landscape and event lighting solutions for residential, commercial and municipal customers.

"After a decade of refining the model, now is the right time to open this opportunity to franchise owners and meet growing demand in more communities across the country," says Michael Moorhouse, president of Decorate With Lights. "More than ever, homeowners want professional, done-for-you lighting they can trust year-round, and we've built Decorate With Lights to deliver exactly that."

Earlier this year, Five Star acquired and launched Five Star Flooring, adding another scalable home service category to a portfolio that now includes more than 1,700 locations and more than 1,000 franchise owners across North America.

Decorate With Lights offers four distinct services:
- Permanent roofline lighting

Franchising Decorate with Lights costs an initial franchise fee of $10,000 and an estimated initial investment range starting at $36,200. Every Decorate With Lights territory is built around approximately 50,000 single-family homes with household incomes above $100,000.

Decorate With Lights was born inside the Mosquito Shield ecosystem and built by the operators who scaled that brand to 400+ territories. Moorhouse leads both brands.

The Decorate With Lights brand team supports owners directly, offering full-funnel digital marketing through Five Star Marketing, inbound lead intake and quoting through ProNexis, and exclusive vendor pricing through the Five Star Buying Group.

"Professional lighting is one of the fastest-growing categories in home services, and Decorate With Lights has spent a decade proving the model," says Scott Abbott, CEO and co-founder of Five Star Franchising. "Adding the brand to our platform allows us to expand franchise opportunities at exactly the moment homeowner demand is accelerating, while providing franchise owners the technology, marketing and operational support they need to grow with the category."
