Questions to ask the franchisor
Generated from what this brand's FDD data does not disclose — ask PUDDLE POOL SERVICES directly:
- What liquid capital does the franchisor require of a new franchisee? It is not disclosed in the FDD data we hold for this brand.
- What minimum net worth does the franchisor require? It is not disclosed in the FDD data we hold for this brand.
- What does the brand's recent unit history show over the last three years (Item 20)? Ask about openings. Ask about closures. Ask about transfers. We have not extracted a unit-history table for this brand.
- How exactly is the territory defined and protected (Item 12)? Ask for the territory map and the reserved-rights carve-outs in writing.
Territory — what the FDD says (Item 12)
Under this brand's Item 12 rule, the territory carries some protection but not full exclusivity — for example, the franchisor may reserve certain channels or accounts. Future concepts may also be reserved. Areas inside an existing franchisee's protected territory are generally not available to a new buyer for a directly competing unit; the exact limits are in the FDD text quoted above.
The FDD's own words (Item 12): “territory is NOT exclusive - the FDD states you will not receive an exclusive territory. We only offer franchises which operate under the “Puddle Pool Services” Marks. The Franchise Offered: We offer franchises for the right to deliver professional residential and commercial”
Where PUDDLE POOL SERVICES operates today
Per the brand's FDD outlet table (Item 20, Table 3 — franchised outlets by state, latest fiscal year): 40 franchised units across 11 states.
Source: puddle-pool-services-fdd-2026-17ad9e61.pdf, Item 20. Counts are the franchisor's own disclosures.
Why two unit counts? The Key figures above cite 43 franchised units (Item 20, p.38) — the franchisor's reported franchised-unit total. The map above sums Item 20, Table 3 (franchised outlets by state at fiscal year-end), which totals 40. The two Item 20 figures are compiled on different bases, so they need not match.
What is NOT available
Not available: any area inside an existing franchisee's protected territory while that agreement runs. Existing units sit in: AL, FL, GA, IN, MO, NV, NJ, OH, TN, TX, UT — a specific address near an existing unit is governed by that territory's boundaries.
Only the franchisor can confirm availability.
