Rolling Suds is a power washing company, providing cleaning services to both residential and commercial properties. Franchises clean everything from individual homes to huge apartment buildings, parking garages to schools. The work itself doesn’t take a lot of inputs – just one guy and a suitably equipped truck – but the franchise is looking for something more substantial from its franchisees. Key skills include sales, team building, and community networking, so that you can build up a team of cleaners and a large network of customers.
It’s indicative of a franchise that’s keen to grow and looking for franchisees who will support that mission. Their pitch to customers emphasizes quality and reliability, so they’ll also be looking for franchisees who pay attention to the details, so that customers are satisfied and the brand can keep on expanding its reputation.
In this exclusive Franchise Chatter FDD Talk post, you’ll learn the following:

- As of December 31, 2024, there were 64 franchised Rolling Suds outlets open and in operation. Seven of the 64 franchised Rolling Suds outlets were open and in operation for the entire 2024 calendar year, and all seven of these outlets first opened for business in the 2023 calendar year.
- Additionally, as of December 31, 2024, there were two affiliate-owned Rolling Suds businesses open and in operation. Of these two affiliate-owned Rolling Suds businesses: (i) one business, located in Warrington, Pennsylvania, was in operation for the entire 2024 calendar year (the “Affiliate-Owned Business”), and (ii) one business, which operates two outlets located in the Hermitage, Tennessee area, first commenced operation in the 2024 calendar year.
- For purposes of this Item 19, an “outlet” means an open Territory with a corresponding service vehicle.
- This Item 19 contains certain historic financial performance information for five of the seven franchised Rolling Suds outlets that were open for the entire 2024 calendar year (the “Franchised Outlets”) and the Affiliate-Owned Business.
- Rolling Suds excluded two of the seven franchised outlets that were open for the entire 2024 calendar year because they did not report complete financial performance data to Rolling Suds.
- As of the issuance date of the Disclosure Document, three of the five Franchised Outlets have acquired a second service vehicle.
- Rolling Suds’ Affiliate-Owned Business in Warrington, Pennsylvania is a mature business that has been open and in operation since 1990. The Affiliate-Owned Business operates under Rolling Suds’ proprietary Marks and offers all approved goods and services Rolling Suds’ System franchisees are authorized to offer and sell from their franchised businesses.
- However, because the Affiliate-Owned Business opened and commenced operating for many years prior to the launch of Rolling Suds’ franchise System, please note that (a) the Affiliate-Owned Business operates in and services a substantially larger geographic area than Rolling Suds’ System franchisees and operates with limited territorial restrictions; and (b) is a mature business, with established relationships and name recognition in its area.
- In the calendar year 2024, the Affiliate-Owned Business operated four service vehicles on a full-time basis, with between one to three additional service vehicles supplementing the fleet as needed during peak periods.
