North American restoration franchise Restoration 1 has acquired the bluefrog Plumbing + Drain franchise network. Gary Findley, CEO of Restoration 1 said, “This is a monumental acquisition, broadening the franchise brands and complimentary services that we will deliver to a growing residential and commercial customer base across the United States.” Phoenix, Arizona-based bluefrog Plumbing + Drain was launched in January 2014 and now has 15 franchise locations across nine states.
While the bluefrog executive team will remain, Findley will serve as CEO of both brands. Jeff Moody, president and COO of bluefrog, said “Restoration 1 brings great synergy and an incredible support team to bluefrog that will expand our operations and significantly scale our business for the road ahead.” Findley expects bluefrog to have grown to 100+ locations by the end of 2018. “Plumbing and drain cleaning are a complimentary industry to our restoration business, and we are in a position to make an immediate impact that will add locations in territories across the country. We are poised to do for bluefrog all that we have achieved at Restoration 1 in record time.”
