## Story

The franchise location is opening later this month, and will be owned and operated by husband and wife team Aaron and Tricia Novak. Aaron has a background in franchise ownership and sales for a national medical distributor. Tricia has been responsible for financial bookkeeping for several firms. In his free time, Aaron is an avid swimmer and cyclist, and he has done several Ironman events.

“When Tricia and I first started looking into potential franchise opportunities, Helpful Heroes immediately stood out because of their strong mission statement and company values,” said Aaron Novak, co-owner of Helpful Heroes of Greater Tampa Bay. “We know a lot of people in our area who could benefit from the services our local heroes would provide, and can’t wait to become a reputable local service provider for our community. As our team begins providing trustworthy services across South St.

Petersburg, South Tampa, Wesley Chapel, Dunedin, Bayonet Point, and the surrounding areas, we look forward to building relationships with local homeowners in need of our services.”

Since everyone has a to-do list at home, Helpful Heroes is here to help connect homeowners with a local firefighter or EMT for their next home project. With expertise and experience in countless disciplines, firefighters and EMTs are uniquely qualified to complete various household chores while leveraging their skillset during their time off. Common services requested through Helpful Heroes include furniture moving, gutter cleaning, general handyman services, and basically any place homeowners may need a helping hand.

Dave Heimbuch, President of Helpful Heroes, is dedicated to upholding the brand’s professionalism and customer-first business model: “As a company that has always been dedicated to helping homeowners find reliable help with home projects, Helpful Heroes stands out because of our unique platform that connects homeowners with local firefighters and EMTs. The Helpful Heroes team can’t wait to see all the great work Aaron and Tricia will accomplish within their community.”

Helpful Heroes offers a platform that allows homeowners to hire a trustworthy local firefighter or EMT for their next home project. After homeowners submit details about their project, they will receive an upfront estimate based on trends in their area before being connected with a local firefighter or EMT.
