As the pioneering member of the brand's Million Dollar Club, his achievement is etched prominently in the annals of the company's success.“This is the culmination of a lot of hard work, so it feels great,” McMurtry said. “But really, it's all about my team. I couldn’t have done it without them.”&nbsp; Before&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=trublue-franchisee-makes-history-as-first-member-of-million-dollar-club-2726221" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TruBlue</a>, McMurtry's professional journey touched various fields, including operations and food service, until he found his passion in remodeling and contracting. Following the purchase and extensive renovation of his own residence, he ran a small contracting firm for almost 10 years. As he got older, he realized he couldn't keep up with the physical labor. It was then that he stumbled upon TruBlue, a franchise specializing in handyman and home maintenance services designed to assist busy families and offer aging-in-place solutions for seniors. McMurtry, with his vast entrepreneurial experience, was quickly drawn to the franchise's strong support system and business structure.In spring of 2016, McMurtry officially signed on with TruBlue, embarking on a journey that has been an overwhelmingly positive experience.&nbsp;"Over the past three to four years, we've seen an incredible growth curve year over year," McMurtry shared. "The COVID-19 pandemic proved to be a boon for us as people spent more time at home and considered taking up various projects. The demand hasn't slowed down since."Last year, McMurtry's outstanding performance led him to win the&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/from-operations-to-home-service-pioneer-how-trublues-franchisee-of-the-year-built-an-award-winning-business-in-roanoke-virginia-2722996">TruBlue Franchisee of the Year Award</a>. This year, he’s setting the stage for others to join him as the first member of the Million Dollar Club.A pivotal aspect of McMurtry's strategy hinges on the implementation of a&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/how-trublue-is-breaking-through-on-the-subscription-service-industry-2719310#columns">subscription-based model</a>. It’s designed to maintain ongoing home upkeep and educate homeowners about the importance of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/trublue-shares-12-of-the-most-commonly-forgotten-home-maintenance-tasks-2724423#featured">regular home maintenance</a>.&nbsp;"The home is one asset that is constantly appreciating in value, but it is oftentimes one that is neglected the most," McMurtry said. “People take care of their vehicles better than their houses. We aim to change that with our subscription service.”When it comes to his advice for other growing TruBlue franchisees, McMurtry says the establishment of a&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/trublue-total-house-care-announces-strategic-partnership-with-comfort-keepers-to-help-seniors-age-in-place-safely-2719713">strong referral network</a> is essential, as it keeps lead costs down. When it comes to hiring in a tight labor market, he recommends personality and attitude over skill sets or resumes.&nbsp; But McMurtry’s biggest tip is quite simple: Trust&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/5-reasons-to-invest-in-a-trublue-franchise-in-2024-2725668#featured">the TruBlue process</a>.&nbsp;“The TruBlue team really coaches you along the way and walks you down the road — they help you get out of your own way,” he said. “The demand is extremely strong, but as long as you are prepared to take advantage of it, there is no reason you can’t continue to grow.”Looking ahead, McMurtry remains optimistic, targeting a growth rate of approximately 25% for the coming year. His ambition is not merely to scale but to do so in a manner that is both sustainable and reflective of smart business practices.&nbsp;"It feels great to see Dan reach this milestone — he's an outstanding franchisee, extremely coachable and always eager to improve,” said TruBlue President&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/seancfitzgerald?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=trublue-franchisee-makes-history-as-first-member-of-million-dollar-club-2726221" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sean Fitzgerald</a>. “Over the past few years, we've really pushed him to scale his business by allowing him to concentrate more on strategic aspects, and reach this level of success. Now that he's achieved this scalability, we're excited to see him continue to grow. Plus, the fact that he is the first franchise to accomplish this, and in a smaller market, really underscores the potential for success in all markets we operate.”Since McMurty’s accomplishment, a second owner has hit the million dollar milestone. Daniel Lucuona in Allen, TX is the second franchisee to achieve this revenue number. As TruBlue continues to grow, the brand expects to see even more franchisees across the U.S. cross the mark.TruBlue is actively seeking new franchise owners in markets across the country and has identified Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville and Naples in Florida as well as Dallas and Austin in Texas as key development markets.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/info.">https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/info.</a>*Source: 2024 TruBlue FDD - Item 19 , Gross Revenues By Quartile, High Range of Gross Revenues (page 33).

What excites you about owning a TruBlue Franchise?

Own a TruBlue Total House Care

<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a>, a national franchise providing handyman services, preventative home maintenance and senior home modifications, has become a natural fit for husband-and-wife and family-owned teams. With a structured business model, low overhead and robust corporate support,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a> allows couples to divide responsibilities, leverage complementary strengths and serve their communities with purpose.The stories of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/cell-phone-store-owners-set-out-on-a-new-mission-to-help-seniors-with-trublue-home-service-ally-franchise-2727462">Connie and Kevin Mottle</a> in Highland Lakes, Texas, and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-this-air-force-veteran-family-is-investing-in-trublue-total-house-care-2722116">Janet and Jeff Sloan</a> in Greeley, Colorado, illustrate how TruBlue empowers families to succeed, both professionally and personally.<h2>Connie and Kevin Mottle: Building on Shared Values</h2>Connie and Kevin Mottle didn’t initially set out to open a business together, but over time, the idea began to take shape. After owning two businesses in the past, including a successful cell phone store they ran for 11 years, the couple was looking for something with purpose. Personal experiences caring for Connie’s aging parents made&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/a-booming-industry-the-future-of-the-home-service-market-and-why-trublue-is-poised-to-lead-2730117">the need for reliable senior home services</a> impossible to ignore.“We were looking at doing a handyman or home maintenance type business,” Connie said. “A lot of this came down to what we dealt with as my parents were aging. We found TruBlue and it really aligned with what we wanted to do and what we were looking for. Rather than starting that business from scratch, we started looking into what franchising had to offer us.”For Kevin, who had previously built businesses independently,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/5-reasons-to-invest-in-a-trublue-franchise-in-2024-2725668">the franchise structure was appealing</a>. “I started my last two businesses from scratch, which took a lot of time and wasn’t necessarily my strength,” he said. “TruBlue already has the structure and national presence, which made it a perfect fit for us.”Connie agreed that the built-in support was critical. “Knowing that there’s a system in place gives us confidence in our ability to grow the business,” she said.One of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-trublue-is-a-great-franchise-for-power-couples-2727170">the biggest advantages TruBlue provides for couples</a> is clarity around roles. Rather than competing for responsibilities, franchisees are encouraged to lean into their individual strengths.“I do a lot of the marketing and things like that, so it’s really been beneficial in the ways that we work,” Connie said. “They offer all the support and are always willing to help and lend an ear and help us make changes. Kevin focuses more on operations and building the team.”Connie added that defining responsibilities has strengthened both their marriage and their business. “It’s been good owning something as a couple, we had to figure out our own strengths,” she said. “We are figuring out what the day, the month and even the year looks like. Luckily, we share the same ‘why.’ That is a great foundation to work off of.”Just as important, the Mottles understand the importance of boundaries. “We also know when to step away from the business day,” Connie said. “We are empty nesters, and we could spend all day in the office, but when it comes time to separate work and home, you need to.”<h2>Janet and Jeff Sloan: Mission-Driven Ownership</h2>For Jeff and Janet Sloan, TruBlue represented a continuation of a life dedicated to service. After 25 years in the military, Jeff was ready for a new chapter that still allowed him to serve others.“We have always had a heart for serving seniors,” Jeff said. “After quite a bit of research, we found TruBlue and were drawn to the business model, supporting seniors while taking care of their homes so they can age in place. Who doesn’t want to stay in their home as long as they can in safety, independence and dignity? That is really what drew us to TruBlue.”<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-trublue-is-a-great-franchise-opportunity-for-veterans-2727890">The franchise model itself particularly appealed to Jeff’s background</a>. “The whole structured process really aligns with the way the military operates,” he said. “We loved that franchise business model. The training, the support, the marketing, the technology, the leadership, it is all already in place.”Like the Mottles, the Sloans divided responsibilities based on strengths.“We’ve broken up the tasks a bit,” Jeff said. “I am more in charge of the operations side of things and she does more of the marketing. She gets out promoting in the community. We’ve broken it down based on what we like to do. She likes interacting with people, and I enjoy the nuts and bolts. With that delegation of responsibilities, it has worked out really great for us.”Janet says that communication is key when working with your spouse. “One of the things you have to remember when working from home, you sometimes just have to separate work-life,” she said. “You have to be able to communicate on that. That is a good daily reminder: ask your TruBlue partner what they are thinking about at the moment before jumping into something.”And while working with a spouse can be rewarding, the Sloans say the support behind the scenes matters just as much. “The thing that I really benefit from is having someone at TruBlue who I can speak with and ask questions. We have a team out there,” Janet said. “It might not be in the office, but they are a quick phone call or an email away. Having that support really helps quite a bit. You won’t have all the answers, so TruBlue gives you a network to brainstorm.”Jeff put it simply: “Two heads are better than one. There is a lot to get done. I can’t imagine having to do everything that she does.”<h2>A Reputation Built on Family Trust</h2>For both couples,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/why-this-couple-left-corporate-america-to-build-a-community-focused-trublue-business-in-the-town-where-they-raised-their-sons-2730844">the family-owned nature</a> of their business isn’t just operational, it’s personal.“Our partnership brings a unique advantage to our customers,” Connie said. “We bring that trust and consistency and accountability. We actually live here in the community. This carries our name and reputation as well. Our personal investment shows in how we treat customers in every project.”Janet shares that same focus on integrity. “There is something to be said about being honest and making sure people in your community can really trust you and the service you are providing,” she said. “We intend to keep doing that.”For couples considering franchising together, Jeff offers straightforward advice:“Make sure you go into something you are passionate about,” he said. “We really have a heart for serving those seniors in the community. Make sure it is a mission that you are passionate about and you can enjoy working on together.”To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/info">https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/info</a>.

For many couples and families, owning a business together is about building something meaningful that reflects shared values. Here’s how TruBlue fits the bill.

Why This Philanthropist and Pastor Is Starting a TruBlue Franchise in Wilmington, North Carolina

As more Americans choose to remain in their homes as they age, “aging in place” has moved from a personal preference to one of the fastest-growing trends shaping the home services industry. For&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a>, that shift is the foundation of the brand’s growth, momentum and long-term opportunity.“We had our best year ever in 2025 and are off to a strong start in 2026,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/seancfitzgerald">Sean Fitzgerald</a>, President of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a>. “We’ve seen tremendous growth in not only new franchise owners but also in systemwide growth and revenue. Last year, we more than doubled our new franchise agreements signed, and saw a nearly 30% increase in systemwide revenue.”That growth, Fitzgerald says, is being driven by a convergence of demographic realities and unmet needs. As the population ages, more homeowners want to stay put and increasingly need practical, non-medical support to do so safely.<h2>The Aging-in-Place Wave Has Arrived</h2>For years, industry experts talked about the coming “wave” of aging in place. Fitzgerald says that wave is no longer theoretical.“It’s no longer theoretical, the wave is here,” he said. “We’re seeing it in real time, and it’s what’s driving our growth. That demand is only going to continue, and we’re well positioned to meet it.”<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/5-reasons-to-invest-in-a-trublue-franchise-in-2024-2725668">One reason TruBlue is so well-positioned is its focus on the home itself</a>. While much of the senior industry centers on medical care or daily living assistance, TruBlue addresses the physical environment, which is the single biggest barrier to aging safely at home.“As aging in place continues to grow in demand, there are not a lot of options in place for people who need simple and minor senior modifications like adding grab bars and handheld showers,” Fitzgerald said. “That’s right up our alley.”<h2>Filling a Critical Gap in Senior Services</h2>Fitzgerald points to a clear gap in the marketplace. Durable medical equipment providers tend to focus on large installations, while smaller, safety-driven projects are often overlooked.“They don’t want to mess with small projects because it isn’t worth it for them, and seniors are finding it hard to find trustworthy people to come in,” he said. “There is this void in the marketplace for services.”<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-this-serial-entrepreneur-decided-on-trublue-total-house-care-franchise-ownership-as-his-next-endeavor-2721907">TruBlue fills that void</a> by focusing on minor modifications, repairs and preventative maintenance, services that are increasingly age-driven rather than need-driven.“Historically, health insurance companies would cover things that were prescribed by a doctor,” Fitzgerald said. “Now more of these services are age-driven instead of need-driven. People are becoming eligible for minor senior modifications, and that is our sweet spot.”As a result,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/a-booming-industry-the-future-of-the-home-service-market-and-why-trublue-is-poised-to-lead-2730117">demand continues to rise</a>. “There are a lot of people aging in place who don’t have need-based services,” Fitzgerald said. “Our demand is only going to increase because we are happy to do these minor senior modifications.”<h2>Building Long-Term Relationships, Not Transactions</h2>Unlike one-off repair businesses, TruBlue is built around long-term relationships and recurring service. “Our goal is to build our customer base, it’s not transactional,” Fitzgerald said.That philosophy is reinforced through&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/trublues-home-maintenance-plans-peace-of-mind-for-homeowners-2729337">TruBlue’s subscription-based Home Maintenance Plans</a>, which help homeowners stay ahead of small issues before they become safety risks or costly repairs. It’s a model that creates peace of mind for customers and stability for franchise owners.As TruBlue expands its footprint, new opportunities are opening up at a national level.“Because we’ve grown so rapidly and we have much more coverage than we did even a year ago, we are beginning to develop more strategic partners and programs,” Fitzgerald said. “We’re building relationships with large organizations and expanding that to help people age in place.”Many of these services are also becoming subsidized, further accelerating demand. The biggest constraint, Fitzgerald noted, isn’t demand. It’s coverage.<h2>Thought Leadership Rooted in Real Experience</h2>Fitzgerald’s leadership in the aging-in-place conversation extends beyond TruBlue’s day-to-day operations. He was recently a contributor to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Aging-Place-Conversations-Caregivers-Strategies-ebook/dp/B0FVTN84T3">“Aging in Place Conversations — The Caregiver’s Edition,”</a> a collection of stories, strategies and insights focused on helping people age safely in their communities published by NAIPC (National Aging in Place Council).That perspective reflects TruBlue’s broader mission, which is to support independence, dignity and safety at home, while giving franchise owners a meaningful way to serve their communities.“Our owners have been doing a great job connecting to the community,” Fitzgerald said. “And as this demand continues to grow, we’re exactly where we need to be.”For more information on franchising with TruBlue, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info</a>.

As aging in place reshapes the home services landscape, TruBlue Home Service Ally stands at the center of one of the most purpose-driven opportunities in the industry.

How Franchisees Can Capitalize on One of the Fastest-Growing Home Trends With TruBlue

On a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bbU1xPK_gI">recent episode of the “Pursuit of Profit” podcast</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a> President&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/seancfitzgerald">Sean Fitzgerald</a> unpacked why aging in place has quickly become one of the most urgent—and underserved — needs in America. Older adults overwhelmingly want to remain in their homes, but the typical home environment often isn’t maintained or designed to support safe independence.Fitzgerald shared how his leadership path through major franchise brands—and his personal experience losing his mother and later his father-in-law after a catastrophic fall—deepened his commitment to&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue’s</a> mission. He positioned TruBlue as far more than a handyman concept, explaining that the brand’s niche is helping older adults stay safer at home through a three-step approach:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/trublue-home-service-ally-offers-free-home-assessments-for-fall-prevention-month-2727190">home safety assessments</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-trublue-is-the-no-hassle-way-into-the-senior-industry-2729582">senior modifications</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciA12NuaFVg">ongoing maintenance</a> that reduces risk over time.“I believe that most of the falls that seniors experience are due to the home environment not being well-maintained or they’re trying to maintain it,” Fitzgerald said.Throughout the episode, Fitzgerald emphasized that TruBlue wins trust by acting like a long-term partner rather than a one-off service provider — especially for the homeowners 50 and older who make up a majority of customers. The brand’s “Home Service Ally” identity reflects that relationship-first positioning, where small jobs create the credibility to earn larger projects and lifelong customer value.&nbsp;“There’s no job too small,” Fitzgerald said, noting that once a homeowner trusts TruBlue, repeat business follows—and so do referrals from families, neighbors, and even senior care organizations and medical networks seeking reliable in-home support.Watch the full episode&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bbU1xPK_gI">here</a>.&nbsp;For more information visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info</a>.

Fitzgerald explains how TruBlue’s assessments, modifications and ongoing maintenance model helps older adults stay safer at home—while creating recurring, trust-driven demand for franchise owners.

<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a>, the national franchise dedicated to helping busy adults and seniors age in place safely and comfortably, closed out 2025 as the strongest year in the brand’s history. Fueled by record franchise development, rising systemwide revenue, and increasing demand for aging-in-place solutions, the brand enters 2026 positioned for even greater expansion.“We had by far our best year ever,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/seancfitzgerald">Sean Fitzgerald</a>, president of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a>. “We’ve seen tremendous growth in not only new franchise owners, but also in growth and revenue systemwide. We more than doubled our new franchise agreements signed in 2025, and we’ve seen over a 25% increase in systemwide revenue.”According to Fitzgerald, the momentum goes beyond the numbers. TruBlue is attracting a new caliber of franchise owners — professionals with strong leadership, sales and marketing backgrounds who recognize the long-term opportunity in the aging-in-place sector.“Overall growth is really overshadowing any other big developments,” Fitzgerald said. “A lot of new professionals are joining TruBlue with really impressive backgrounds. The level of business acumen of our new owners coming into the system has been very impressive.”As TruBlue’s footprint expands nationwide, the brand is unlocking new opportunities to serve seniors and their families through broader partnerships and programs aimed at supporting safe, independent living.“Because we’ve grown so rapidly and we have much more coverage than we did even a year ago, we’re beginning to develop more strategic partners and programs,” Fitzgerald said. “There’s nothing new about aging in place, but the demand for our services is becoming more and more pronounced.”That demand, Fitzgerald explained, is being driven by a critical gap in the marketplace, one TruBlue is uniquely positioned to fill.“There are not a lot of options for people who need simple and minor senior modifications like grab bars or handheld showers,” he said. “Durable medical equipment companies focus on large installations and don’t want to mess with small projects. Seniors are left struggling to find trustworthy people for these services, and that’s our sweet spot.”As insurance and subsidy models evolve, more age-driven services are becoming eligible for coverage, further accelerating demand.“Historically, health insurance only covered services prescribed by a doctor,” Fitzgerald said. “Now, more services are age-driven instead of need-driven, which is fueling demand. Our opportunities are going to increase because we’re happy to do these minor senior modifications. Our business model is to build long-term customer relationships and not just a transactional business.”Looking ahead, TruBlue’s leadership team sees its expanding coverage as the final piece needed to unlock even more national partnerships.“The only thing holding us back from developing more national partnerships in the past was coverage,” Fitzgerald said. “The demand is there, we just need good operators in more markets. It’s almost an ‘I told you so’ moment. The senior aging-in-place wave is here. It’s no longer coming — it’s evident, and it’s fueling our growth.”As TruBlue prepares for 2026, the brand continues to seek franchise partners who are natural community builders and storytellers.“We’re really looking for people with a sales and marketing mindset,” Fitzgerald said. “Our owners are creating awareness, connecting to the community and becoming the local authority on aging in place. We’re looking for people who can build teams, network and tell the story of why our services matter.”With record-setting growth behind it and powerful demographic trends ahead, TruBlue enters the new year confident in its position at the forefront of the aging-in-place movement.“Our owners have been doing a great job connecting with their communities,” Fitzgerald said. “This trend is only going to continue, and we are well-positioned for it.”To learn more about franchise opportunities with TruBlue Home Service Ally, visit: <a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/info">&nbsp;https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/info</a>.
