Pinch A Penny Pool Patio and Spa’s newest store has opened in Ormond Beach, Florida. Located at 1930 W. Granada Blvd., the new Pinch A Penny franchise marks the company’s second location in the city and 229th in the state, with Florida continuing to be a sought-after market and prosperous retail hub for the franchise brand. The Ormond Beach Pinch A Penny is owned by husband-and-wife duo Dan and Shannon Radwick, who are first-time franchisees of the swimming pool retail and service brand.

“For our first franchise location, Shannon and I were seeking an established brand with a solid history of growth. A few of our friends are franchisees with Pinch A Penny, and after seeing firsthand how the company’s ongoing support fueled their own success, we knew we had found the perfect company to help turn our entrepreneurial dreams into a reality,” said Dan Radwick, owner of Pinch A Penny of Ormond Beach. “With a brand like Pinch A Penny, which has been around for more than 40 years, we feel confident in our decision to become partners and to help expand its footprint across Florida’s east coast.”

Headquartered in Clearwater, Pinch A Penny has continually strengthened its presence throughout the Sunshine State over the past several decades. In addition to its most recent opening in Ormond Beach, the company will open several other Florida locations later this year. This ongoing success has fueled Pinch A Penny’s growth in new markets in the Southeast and Texas, with the brand continuing to expand its footprint in key target markets including Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.

“Our ongoing, aggressive growth in Florida is fueled by the success of our dedicated franchisees who continue to push the envelope alongside us. Recognizing this factor, we strive to support our store owners through one-of-a-kind training and provide them with access to the resources they need to succeed,” said Michael Arrowsmith, Chief Development Officer of Pinch A Penny. “Florida is a market we’ve grown to know very well here at Pinch A Penny and, looking ahead, we plan to continue our aggressive expansion across the Southeast based upon the prosperous blueprint model we’ve developed in our home state.”

The new location will serve customers Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information on the new Ormond Beach store, call 386-238-9648 or visit https://pinchapenny.com/stores/ormond-beach-fl-251, and for more information on the franchise opportunity, fill out the form here.

Pinch A Penny announced today that it awarded Chip and Susan Campbell, two of the company’s leading franchisees, with its 2019 Founder’s Award. The prestigious award recognizes outstanding franchisees that embody Pinch A Penny’s family values and commitment to providing unparalleled value, quality and service, and was presented to the Campbells at the brand’s recent annual franchisee expo in Orlando, Florida.

The Campbells began their journey with Pinch A Penny 20 years ago when they acquired their first store in Tampa. Since that time, they have successfully transformed three underperforming stores into some of the most successful and highest volume locations in Pinch A Penny’s system. The husband-and-wife team currently own and operate two stores in Lakeland and Sarasota, Florida, which they acquired in 2011 and 2014, respectively.

“Chip and Susan’s work ethic, investment in their employees’ development, and willingness to help their fellow franchisees grow is the embodiment of what the Founder’s Award stands for,” said John Thomas, president and CEO of Pinch A Penny Pool Patio and Spa. “We view our franchisees as our extended family and strive to provide them with an unparalleled support system. Chip and Susan’s accomplishments are a true testament to the unlimited potential for success that being a part of Pinch A Penny offers, and we’re proud to present them with this well-deserved recognition.”

Pinch A Penny has been hosting its annual expo for more than 30 years and this year’s event was attended by 99 percent of its system. Each year, the expo brings together Pinch A Penny’s 250+ franchise owners, along with their families and teams. Throughout the three-day event, the company hosts numerous educational seminars and networking events, as well as a Recognition of Excellence dinner in which it awards top-performing franchisees for sales in various categories, including its Founder’s Award. The three days culminate in a daylong tradeshow with vendors showcasing products, tools, and services in the swimming pool, retail and service industries.

Pinch A Penny is currently seeking qualified candidates to join its growing brand, including existing pool operators looking to take their businesses to the next level. The company currently has franchise opportunities available in markets throughout Texas and the Southeastern U.S., including Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.

Fernando DeTrinidad had an idea. As an executive at Chevron for many years, he recognized great potential in his son Carlos Alvarez and wanted to assist him in creating a family legacy. “Carlos is a very hard worker. He’s a go-getter, a great people person, and is naturally handy. I didn’t want him to work for anyone. He has the personality qualities to be his own boss,” said Fernando. Fernando wanted a business that Carlos could take the reins of and build upon for his future. Carlos wanted a business where he could get to know his customers and develop real friendships within his community. Pinch A Penny fit the bill for both of them. And the fact that the franchise is looking to expand in Texas just made it all the more perfect.

Once they looked into the Pinch A Penny opportunity, they saw the potential to thrive and take great advantage of the franchise’s multiple revenue streams. “The service aspect of the business is something that fits well for Carlos as it gives him the ability to be his own boss, manage people and use his business degree. Something I know he is great at doing,” Fernando said.

Speaking of business degrees, Carlos is still in college pursuing his and is running the business at the same time. Pretty impressive. “Once I spoke with the team at Pinch A Penny, I knew they were straight-forward, honest, and really care about building the community. These are things I align with and it made sense,” Carlos said. At first, they were concerned about how this new territory would be supported, but they are both more than impressed with the support they continue to receive from leadership. “The IT and marketing support have made all the difference,” Carlos said. Another concern was their own personal lack of pool experience. But thanks to the support and training they received from Pinch A Penny that was quickly quelled.

We asked Carlos if he would recommend Pinch A Penny to someone considering buying one. And his answer spoke volumes. “Yes. Of course! It’s perfect for someone who wants to work and improve their community in a profitable way.” Are you interested in creating the good life for your family and your community? If so, Pinch A Penny may be your perfect match.
