Buzz Franchise Brands Finds New Home For Mosquito Joe
Multi-brand franchise company sells the nation's leading mosquito control brand, its original franchise concept, to focus on its emerging brands, Pool Scouts and Home Clean Heroes
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., August 14, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Buzz Franchise Brands has sold renowned mosquito control company Mosquito Joe to Dwyer Franchising, LLC ("Dwyer Group"), one of the world's largest parent companies for home services brands. This is the first company sale for Buzz Franchise Brands and the first acquisition for Dwyer Group under its new private equity partner, Harvest Partners.
After acquiring local mosquito control business Mosquito Joe in 2012, Buzz Franchise Brands sold the first Mosquito Joe franchise in January 2013. In just over five years, the company has grown to 288 operating units across 34 states plus the District of Columbia and established itself as a leader in the outdoor pest control industry.
Bringing Mosquito Joe into the fold makes Dwyer Group the holding company to 21 service brands operating domestically and internationally.
"Mosquito Joe's rally cry is 'Outside is fun again,' and we think their service combined with their professionalism and high customer satisfaction marks are the perfect fit for Dwyer Group and our Neighborly offering," said Mike Bidwell, President and CEO of Dwyer Group. "Mosquito Joe is a current market leader in this space, and we look forward to continuing to support their growth."
Buzz Franchise Brands' mission is to build companies that get people talking. It is parent company to pool cleaning and maintenance franchise Pool Scouts, currently operating in nine states, and residential cleaning brand Home Clean Heroes, which will begin franchising this summer.
"It's bittersweet to let Mosquito Joe go," said Kevin Wilson, CEO of Buzz Franchise Brands, "But we know the brand is in good hands with Dwyer Group, and we're looking forward to focusing on the continued development of Pool Scouts and Home Clean Heroes, as well as launching new brands in the years to come."
