## Story

Zoom Drain announced today that it has appointed longtime franchising management expert Joseph Schneeweis as vice president of franchise operations.

Schneeweis comes to Zoom Drain after serving several years as the franchise operations manager of ServiceMaster Corporation.

“We’re excited to have Joseph join the Zoom Drain team,” said Zoom Drain CEO Jim Criniti. “The professional experience he brings from inside the franchising world will be integral to the development of our franchise operations. Joe’s track record of building and managing franchisee programs will ensure that our franchisees have the systems, programs and communications they need to scale their businesses within the Zoom Drain system.”

Criniti said the company’s recent growth necessitated the development of this new role with the organization, and Schneeweis is tasked with helping develop and guide Zoom Drain’s franchise program.

Schneeweis’s appointment will allow Zoom Drain President Ellen Rohr to complete her transition to a position on the company’s board of directors, where she can provide guidance for Zoom Drain. Criniti, Rohr and partner Al Levi worked together to build the company into a powerhouse franchisor.

“We wouldn’t be who we are today without Ellen,” Criniti said. “Ellen is a big picture person. She is a visionary and her transition to our board of directors will be pivotal to the growth of our company.”
