Description:

Rolling Suds is already the largest franchisor in the Residential and Commercial Power Washing space after only one year of development. That was made possible by leveraging a 34-year-old Affiliate that has perfected proprietary systems, tools, and methodologies to build a $2M power
washing business in Philadelphia, PA leveraging both residential and commercial accounts.

In a marketplace that is extremely fragmented and populated with Mom-and-Pop operations, our franchisees stand out in the crowd due to the capabilities of our proprietary trucks and equipment to perform services in a fraction of the time vs. competitors as well as service commercial business beyond the scope of most in the industry.
 
In addition, Rolling Suds brings a level of professionalism and customer service to the power  washing industry that has never been seen before on such a scale. Labor is unskilled and due to the strong EBITA of the business model, our franchisees are able to attract employees by out-pacing, in most markets, the average pay scale for employees.
