New franchise owners and expanding partners contributed to a record-breaking month, driving growth across Oklahoma, California, Virginia, Texas, Missouri, and Indiana.
FRANKLIN, Tenn., April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Premier Pools & Spas, the nation's largest pool builder and service franchise network, reported a record-breaking month of new franchise development in March, further driving its national growth with new locations and territory expansions across several key U.S. markets. The latest development reflects sustained demand for both pool construction and recurring service offerings as the industry enters peak season.
Recent developments include new Premier Pools & Spas locations in Tulsa, Oklahoma, led by Mike Rice, and Bakersfield, California, owned by Aaron and Ashley Salas. In Richmond, Virginia, Steve and Betsy Mileski have expanded their footprint within the market. In North Indianapolis, Indiana, Anne Huter is expanding her presence into the region.
On the service side, Premier Pool Service has expanded into the East Bay, California market under Greg Del Torchio.
Pinnacle Pools & Spas continues to scale with a territory expansion in Vacaville, California led by Taylor Mehlhaff and John Salvini. Pinnacle Pool Service also announced expansions in Garland, Texas, with Sam Paul, and St. Louis, Missouri, with Larry and Jesteene Otte, further strengthening the brand's presence in high-demand regions.
"Our family chose a Pinnacle franchise to build on our father's experience while leveraging the support and resources to create a lasting legacy," said Jesteene Otte. "We're excited to build a service company customers can rely on week after week, delivering consistent, high-quality care so homeowners can truly enjoy their backyard."
As demand for outdoor living and pool ownership remains strong across the U.S., both construction and service brands are seeing increased interest from entrepreneurs seeking scalable, recurring-revenue business models. Expansion across both new and existing territories reflects continued confidence in the category and the strength of the franchise system.
"We're excited to welcome both new and expanding franchise partners into the Premier and Pinnacle network," said Paul Porter, CEO of Premier Franchise Management. "Their level of commitment, professionalism, and dedication to exceeding customer expectations makes them a strong fit for our brands. It's rewarding to see both new owners joining the system and existing partners continuing to grow their businesses and expand into new markets."
