In the last couple of years, the world as we know it was changed in ways we never imagined.  The famous saying, “change is the only constant in life,” suddenly became a glaring truth as a global pandemic impacted our world and economy.  Industries that were once unshakable suddenly became a little turbulent.  How do you protect your financial security and future in uncertain times?  A popular choice has been to turn to franchising!

How does franchising help provide a successful future?

Unlike jobs where your future rests in the hands of an executive decision-maker, being a franchisee allows you to take that control into your own hands.  With Pinch A Penny’s proven turnkey business model, we give you the tools you need to make your business the best it can be and provide you with the help you need to get there.  We’ve spent more than 45 years perfecting our market research, products, and backyard services to give our owners multiple revenue streams that keep them thriving all year.

What are the advantages of being your own boss?

When you are in direct control of your own paycheck, it tends to motivate you more than working hard for a small corporate merit increase each year.  Oftentimes our franchises are run together as a family, building a legacy to pass down to future generations.  Our owners testify that working with their families has helped restore balance to their lives and improve their overall job satisfaction.  Owning their own business allows them to directly impact the lives of their children and their children’s friends through job opportunities and learning life skills they will take with them to future endeavors.

How does franchise training help me to maintain a successful business?

Pinch A Penny’s intensive franchise training program, called “Pool School,” doesn’t just set you up as a business owner.  It sets you up to be an expert in your field so you can maximize your opportunities and earning potential.  Our stores’ average unit volume is over $2M* a year, and most of our store owners are only running one location.  Owning a retail store that offers limitless backyard services from pool renovations to pressure washing allows our franchisees to grow their customer base beyond pool owners to anyone with a backyard!

Investing in yourself and your family can provide much-needed stability in uncertain times and beyond.  Though we can’t predict what the future holds, the fact that we have not closed a franchise location in over 30 years speaks volumes about the success of our franchisees.  We can’t wait to talk with you about joining our family; reach out to our franchise development team today!

If you’re looking to go into business for yourself, chances are you’ve looked at everything from fast food franchises to Pinch A Penny franchises. How do you know what franchise to choose? The benefits of becoming a Pinch A Penny franchisee are extensive and go far beyond just being your own boss. We’ve put together a collection of what sets Pinch A Penny apart from the rest!

What support does a franchisor provide?

When you franchise with Pinch A Penny, your franchisor support doesn’t stop once you’ve opened your store. You can expect ongoing support from your franchisor and their leadership team for everything from training, marketing, and IT services. One of the most significant benefits of franchising over starting a business from scratch is that you don’t have to be an expert at everything; you can focus on running your business while the franchise offers ongoing support from various teams and departments.

What training is available for new franchisees?

Our franchisees come from all sorts of career backgrounds and don’t always start with expert pool industry knowledge. Pinch A Penny’s extensive franchise training program will fix that! Our franchisees spend four weeks at our headquarters in Clearwater, Florida to become Certified Pool Operators, earn their Advanced Pool and Spa Service Certificate, and learn the business’s ins and outs. By the time they leave our comprehensive franchise training, they are experts in everything from water chemistry to pump repairs.

How is business risk reduced with franchising?

There are several positives of owning a franchise when weighing out the potential risks of business ownership. When you choose Pinch A Penny, you choose a proven business model with a long history of success. We don’t open stores just anywhere, and we do extensive research to be sure that our franchisees are opening stores in an area that needs a neighborhood pool store. We’re so confident that our franchisees will be successful that we invest in them with our in-house financing program. Another one of the amazing benefits of franchising: You! Store owners influence their own success through a commitment to their investment. With our owner/operator model, our franchisees actively work in their store, directly impacting how it performs daily.

What is the power of branding?

Brand recognition through franchising can be a powerful selling tool. Pinch A Penny has been in business for more than 45 years, so our brand awareness is strong and sets us apart from our competition. Being well known by our brand allows us to utilize brand recognition marketing to grow our franchise. Being a Pinch A Penny franchisee means having the power of our brand in your corner to grow your business. It allows us to help you generate business based on our overall reputation and expand our footprint successfully. Brand recognition with franchising is a significant contributor to the ongoing success of our franchisees!

We know that choosing a franchise opportunity is not a task taken lightly. Our franchise development team is committed to answering your questions and assisting you through the process every step of the way. If you’re ready to take the next step in securing your future, reach out to our team today! We can’t wait to have you as part of our Pinch A Penny Pool Franchise family!
