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!
