Clear Lake City, Texas (August 31, 2022) – Pinch A Penny, the nation’s largest swimming pool retail and backyard services franchise, is starting development on a new 3,000 square-foot storefront location in Clear Lake City. The target opening date is set for the beginning of next year.

Pinch A Penny Clear Lake will be located at 2429 Bay Area Boulevard in the University Plaza Shopping Center. The new store is a turnkey franchise that will be prebuilt, stocked, and ready for a new franchisee to open the doors. Pinch A Penny is currently searching for a qualified leader in the area to own and operate the new store. 

“This is a unique opportunity for a motivated owner to thrive in an untapped market,” said Pinch A Penny Director of Franchise Development, Adam Heflin. “Pinch A Penny is managing the site selection, lease negotiations, store design, and build out responsibilities so the new owner is set up for success and simply needs to start operations.”

According to a report from WalletHub, Texas ranked No.1 as the “Best State to Start a Business,” which considered 28 key indicators of new business success, including accessible financing, office space affordability, labor costs, and more. The Lone Star State’s reputation for profitable business growth is one of the reasons Pinch A Penny is prioritizing expansion in the area with 25 locations and counting. The leadership team predicts that the Clear Lake City business could become one of the top-performing stores in the company. 

“We are excited to expand our footprint in the Galveston Bay area to meet the overwhelming demand from customers in the community,” said Troy Lindbeck, Vice President of Operations for Pinch A Penny. “Our Texas stores are reporting record growth in sales with no signs of slowing down. Joining the Pinch A Penny family is an exceptional opportunity for any professional who is ready to become their own boss, and there is no shortage of opportunities outside of the pool with our growth of additional revenue streams within the backyard!”

With nearly 270 locations across the Southeastern U.S. and Texas, Pinch A Penny Pool Patio Spa has developed a reputation for delivering best-in-class customer service and expertise while offering the highest quality in products and supplies. Pinch a Penny offers customers a one-stop-shop for all their pool and spa supply needs with complete lines of pool chemicals, maintenance equipment, as well as parts and accessories available anywhere. 

In addition to pool supply retail, Pinch A Penny’s franchises can offer year-round maintenance and repair services, like water testing and pool service, as well as pool renovations, leak detection, pressure washing, landscape lighting, and more. Franchisees learn these valuable skills during the company’s all-encompassing training program. 

“Our franchisees are truly the backbone of the company, so we want to set them up for success,” said Lindbeck. “We are a very unique franchise opportunity in that no pool or industry experience is needed to get started on the pool retail and service side, and the opportunities for growth into additional backyard services and revenue streams are endless.”
