John Rotche, president of HOODZ International, announced that the franchisor recently awarded its 50th territory of the year.
“We began selling franchises in June 2009, and we’ve already closed 50 deals,” said Rotche. “Franchise candidates are drawn to our HOODZ franchise opportunity for the minimal equipment investment, the simplicity of our operating model, and the repeat and recurring revenue that owners can rely on to project future earnings.”
HOODZ, America’s largest restaurant exhaust cleaning franchise, and DUCTZ International, America’s largest HVAC system restoration franchise, are brands within the BELFOR Franchise Group.
“HOODZ is a good fit for us because we were looking for a service business with repeat customers,” said Paul DePhillips, HOODZ franchise owner for north central Tennessee. “The law says commercial and institutional kitchen exhaust systems have to be cleaned several times a year. If you take care of your customers, you can service them for the life of their businesses.”
HOODZ franchise owners and their employees go through an extensive training program at the company’s headquarters and 18,000 sq. ft. national training center in Arbor, Michigan. Upon graduation, they are recognized as trained, qualified and certified professionals in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards and Guidelines, International Mechanical Code, and the International Building Code.
“If a franchise system relies heavily on new customers, that can be an expensive business-building proposition,” says Rotche. “Our business is built on mandated demand and delivering the highest quality service to create satisfied repeat customers.”
