Pinch A Penny Pool Patio Spa, the nation's largest swimming pool retail, service, and repair franchise, announced today the opening of its newest franchised location in Port St. John, along the Space Coast of Florida. Located at 6269 North US-1, the new store marks the brand's 232nd Florida location, following back-to-back openings across the brand's homestate in Chuluota and North Englewood earlier this year. Behind Pinch A Penny's Space Coast expansion are first-time franchise owners, Tracy and Joe Clemente, who both draw on over 40 years of combined experience in retail management working in Walmart stores.

"Tracy and I have both always felt comfortable in retail and, likewise, shared a vision of one day owning our own business where we could utilize our retail management experience. When we discovered the franchising opportunity with Pinch A Penny, which offered multiple streams of revenue, we were eager to get started and take hold of our future," said Joe Clemente, owner of Pinch A Penny of Port St. John. "From the beginning, Pinch A Penny provided an impressive franchisee support system. To top it off, the brand's family-centric values align with our goals as Tracy and I begin to grow the business with our daughter, Montana."

Celebrating 45 years as the nation's leading swimming pool retail, service and repair franchise, Pinch A Penny has seen a fair share of ups and downs in the economy, yet has continuously recorded positive sales for more than 40 years. By offering a business model that provides essential services through multiple streams of revenue combining retail, pool cleaning, and several backyard services including pool renovations, leak detection and power washing, Pinch A Penny helps pool owners create the safest, most sanitary water environment for family fun. This sustainable model combined with four and a half decades of industry expertise, continues to fuel the brand's ongoing development across the Southeast. Looking ahead, Pinch A Penny plans to accelerate development across Texas with an opening slated for the Houston suburb of Pecan Grove next week.  

"Pinch A Penny is an unparalleled franchise opportunity within the retail and service segment, with proven systems in place that support a quicker return on investment, strong unit-level economics and industry-high AUVs of $1.3 million. As a result, we've continually attracted fantastic operators who, like the Clementes, recognize a great business opportunity," said Michael Arrowsmith, Chief Development Officer of Pinch A Penny. "The success of our franchisees is the driving force behind everything we do at Pinch A Penny, and we're proud that providing best-in-class support and technology has translated into continued growth in new and existing territories throughout the Southeast."
