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 Lake Arlington, Texas. Located at 4407 Little Road Suite 680, the new store marks the brand's fourth location in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area and 20th overall in the state of Texas.

Behind the Lake Arlington opening is first-time franchising duo, Rob Stafford and Tim Brandle, with a combined three decades of retail industry experience. After Brandle was laid off from his Retail Merchandise Management position due to the pandemic, the team was prepared to take destiny into their own hands and identify a business venture of their own. As pool owners, Stafford and Brandle historically had a hard time finding quality pool service in their local area and, soon enough, stumbled upon Pinch A Penny as a viable franchise opportunity to provide their community with trusted pool care where pool builds were growing at an exponential rate.

"Although the past year was filled with quite a few surprises, I am grateful it led Rob and I to pursue our dreams in business ownership. After being laid off, I was attracted to the qualities a franchise model offered and wanted to join a brand that not only showcased recession-resistant traits but also supported my partner and I in our operations. While we have a vast background in retail, this is our first venture as franchisees, and it was so refreshing to find Pinch A Penny was backed by decades of success and offered world-class training, marketing support, financing, and more," said Tim Brandle, owner of Pinch A Penny Lake Arlington. "While there are other Pinch A Penny locations throughout Dallas-Fort Worth, our store will be the first within the Arlington area, where pools are popping up everywhere. We are looking forward to expanding the brand's presence in our city and officially opening our doors to the community."

The Lake Arlington store continues an aggressive development pipeline for the brand throughout Texas. Earlier this year, Pinch A Penny debuted in the Houston suburb of Conroe shortly followed by an announcement to pre-build a location available for purchase in the Fort Worth neighborhood of North Richland Hills, resulting from an increased demand for pool supplies and services across the state. Looking ahead, the pipeline will continue with an additional store slated for The Woodlands in the Houston metro area later this week.

"Texas has always been on our radar as a target market, and in the past year Dallas-Fort Worth has experienced the highest volume of pool construction in the state. The continued demand for pool services in Texas creates a very strong opportunity for our franchisees, paired with the brand's multiple revenue streams within retail, pool cleaning, and backyard services," said Michael Arrowsmith, Chief Development Officer of Pinch A Penny. "As a result, we are proud to continuously be ranked by Franchise Business Review as a top recession-proof franchise and partner with new franchise owners, such as Rob and Tim, looking to begin their business ownership journey with a trusted and proven concept."
