FRANKLIN, Tenn., May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Premier Franchise Management, the franchisor behind Premier Pools & Spas and Premier Pool Service, is proud to announce the addition of new franchise owners in Santa Fe, NM, Buffalo, NY, Tampa, FL, and the latest expansion in Atlanta, GA. These latest signings reflect the company's continued focus on thoughtful, strategic growth across key U.S. markets.
John Trujillo will lead Premier Pool Service of Santa Fe, marking the brand's first and only current location in New Mexico. With prior experience in the pool industry, Trujillo brings a strong technical foundation, including expertise in pool service operations, water quality management, and a working knowledge of building codes and safety regulations. His background positions him to deliver reliable, high-quality service to homeowners across the Santa Fe community, while expanding Premier's service into a new region.
In Buffalo, Premier Pools & Spas will be operated by Joe Lloyd, who has brought more than two decades of hands-on experience into the pool industry. Since starting in 2002, Lloyd has worked on both residential and commercial projects, with a background spanning service, equipment repair, and full-scale pool construction. His expertise includes everything from equipment installation and leak detection to complete pool builds. His background allows him to bring a high level of craftsmanship and technical expertise to homeowners throughout the Buffalo market.
Further expanding the Premier Family along Florida's West Coast, Jared Hermiston joins the network with Premier Pool Service of Tampa. His addition strengthens the brand's presence in the Tampa Bay area, where year-round pool ownership continues to drive consistent demand for professional maintenance and care. As part of Premier's growing service network, Hermiston will focus on delivering reliable, customer-focused pool service to homeowners throughout the region.
In addition to new ownership, existing franchisee Bob and Gayle Gordon continue to grow within the Premier nation with the addition of Premier Pool Service of Atlanta East. The Gordons, who currently owns Premier Pools & Spas of Atlanta South and East, is expanding their operations to include service, further strengthening Premier's presence in the greater Atlanta market. Their continued investment in the brand reflects the strength of Premier's model and the long-term opportunities available to franchise owners.
"We're excited to welcome new owners to the Premier Family and to support existing franchisees as they expand within our network," said Paul Porter, CEO of Premier Franchise Management. "Their continued growth and investment reflect the strength of our system and the long-term opportunities available within the Premier brand."
As Premier continues to grow its national footprint, the company remains focused on supporting its franchise owners and expanding into markets where demand for both pool construction and service continue to rise.
