Huntsville, AL – After 24 years of service in the Army, veteran Ron Hicks decided to pursue business ownership with Pool Scouts, a pool cleaning and maintenance franchise concept. As one of the first Black franchise owners with Pool Scouts, Hicks was excited to round out Black History Month with a February 28th ribbon cutting.
“We are thrilled to continue our growth in the region and are proud to have Ron as a part of the Pool Scouts family,” said Brand President, Michael Wagner. “There has never been a higher demand for our services, and we can’t wait to see what else they accomplish.”
While Hicks conducted a soft opening late in March 2022, this year presents the first full-length in-season of operations.
Through his own experience, Hicks hopes to serve as a mentor for other business owners in the community as they take their first steps toward entrepreneurship. Now, as a local entrepreneur, Hicks says he is looking forward to engaging with the community, securing partnerships with local swimming organizations and advocating for pool safety awareness.
Pool Scouts delivers a quality, consistent pool cleaning, maintenance and minor repair service through the use of highly trained technicians who are experts in testing, monitoring, treating and servicing pools. Pool Scouts also has the backing of a strong parent company, Buzz Franchise Brands, that helps set up franchisees for success from the start.
“Ron has been a great ambassador for Pool Scouts with a strong involvement in the communities his business serves. He worked hard in 2022 to establish a footprint in Alabama for Pool Scouts. He had a tremendous first year filling the need for professional pool cleaning services in his market. He has paved the way for future success in Alabama as we look to grow the brand in Alabama and throughout the Southeast.”
