The industry is taking note. In 2018, Entrepreneur magazine ranked Restoration 1 on their prestigious annual Franchise 500 list of the best franchise systems to invest in for the third consecutive year. This ranking was especially significant as Restoration 1 charted high at No. 132, which is 227 spots up from two years ago when Entrepreneur ranked Restoration 1 as No. 359 on the Franchise 500 in 2016.

This ascension up the most prestigious ranking system in franchising is a testament to the franchisee-centric culture CEO Gary Findley established when he took the reigns of our brand in 2016. “Now is the ideal time to invest in Restoration 1,” says Gary Findley, CEO of Restoration 1. “As the new kid on the block, Restoration 1 has a tremendous opportunity to become the dominant brand in the extremely lucrative restoration industry. The competition is completely out of territory and the independent restoration brands do not have the resources to keep up. I’ve been in franchising for a long time, and Restoration 1 is truly unique. Not only is the brand a nationally recognized leader in mold, fire and water restoration services, but our concept also requires no brick and mortar expenses, zero inventory, and the potential for high volume growth continues, no matter the economic climate. It’s a powerful opportunity for entrepreneurs who want a business they can scale quickly and the support of a franchise system that can give them the tools to be successful over the long-term.
