The company, which operates under parent franchisor&nbsp;<a href="https://buzzfranchisebrands.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=pool-scouts-ends-2022-with-strong-growth-and-over-11000-customers-nationwide-2720830" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Buzz Franchise Brands</a>, saw its franchise system grow with 58% more services and 42% more customers–well over 11,000 nationwide. To close out the year, Pool Scouts was named one of the top franchises of 2023 by Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500 Ranking, placing No. 490 on the list heading into the new year.The brand had an impressive year in franchise development, signing 17 new franchisees that represented 25 territories. Pool Scouts entered several new states in 2022, including Michigan, Idaho and Illinois, which are set to open in 2023, while the brand saw further expansions in the states of Texas and Arizona. With that, Pool Scouts now operates in 18 states across the country.&nbsp;“The past couple of years have been incredibly robust from a pool construction standpoint across the country,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-wagner-2a10637/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=pool-scouts-ends-2022-with-strong-growth-and-over-11000-customers-nationwide-2720830" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Michael Wagner</a>, president of Pool Scouts. “Lots of new pools have been built, and they need us to take care of them. So, we expect customer acquisition to continue to be robust, and we're very much looking forward to that. The brand really hit a tipping point over the past couple of years, especially with the number of customers we're servicing around the country, and we expect great things in 2023.”&nbsp;In 2022, pool owners across the country consistently turned to Pool Scouts for service, with 71% of Pool Scout clientele being recurring customers across the franchise system. Notably, Pool Scouts’ value per customer increased 15% year-over-year, despite the fact that 58% of invoiced customers were brand new to the company. Additionally, the brand's net promoter score reached a high of 80.&nbsp;To support further growth, Pool Scouts continued to add to its team. New hires included Kanchan Woods, brought on as the marketing specialist, and Dave Nolan and Adrian Francisco as technical support coaches to perform field training and support around the pool side of the business.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/russell-gesher-7024a46/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=pool-scouts-ends-2022-with-strong-growth-and-over-11000-customers-nationwide-2720830" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Russell Gesher</a> was also hired to the Pool Scouts leadership team as the new director of operations. Gesher, who has over two decades of experience leading multi-unit operations through scaling, has already done a great job at driving consistency and results by working closely with franchisees, says Wagner.&nbsp;Another exciting operation development was the delivery of two technical training classes in Dallas, Texas and Raleigh, North Carolina. “These were regional technical training classes that we delivered to help franchisees do repair work and learn the repair side of the business,” noted Wagner. “And our plans are to do four of those in 2023.”&nbsp;Pool Scouts also partnered with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hopefloats.foundation/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=pool-scouts-ends-2022-with-strong-growth-and-over-11000-customers-nationwide-2720830" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Hope Floats Foundation</a> in 2022 to raise money during Water Safety Month to provide swim lessons for families in need. Franchise locations within the Pool Scouts organization donated a percentage of each service performed during Water Safety Month to provide scholarships through Hope Floats. And this year, Pool Scouts raised over $16,000, which was awarded throughout Q3 to cover 800 swim lessons all over the United States.&nbsp;With so much to celebrate, Pool Scouts invited members of the brand to meet in person for the first time since 2020 at its 2022 annual Pool Scouts Convention in Cancún, Mexico.&nbsp;“This event was a great opportunity for our franchisees and the corporate team to come together, learn from one another, celebrate successes and share best practices,” said Wagner. “The convention was a tremendous success and a wonderful, fulfilling experience for all involved.”With an agenda jam-packed with engaging activities, panels, sessions, speeches and an awards dinner, attendees spent their time meeting and engaging with colleagues, learning about important best-practice business topics, networking with vendors and championing the brand's success. The brand plans to host another convention in 2023.&nbsp;Looking ahead, Pool Scouts plans to bring in 18+ new franchisees into the system in the new year in several new states as the brand continues to see growth opportunities.&nbsp;“Our expectations are to grow even more robustly on the customer side, across the country,” said Wagner. “We have so many new franchisees that we really expect to see substantial growth in their second year, or even a second six months depending on when they launched their business. We acquire a ton of customers in the early parts of the year, with the April-June timeframe being some of our biggest months. We are looking forward to another great year at Pool Scouts.”&nbsp;The start-up costs for a Pool Scouts franchise range from $70,950 to $88,350.
