Pinch A Penny, the nation’s largest swimming pool retail and backyard services franchise, is starting development on a new 3,000 square-foot storefront location in Clear Lake City, Texas. The franchise is looking for a qualified leader in the area to own and operate the new store.
With a target opening date set for the beginning of 2023, the new store will be ready for an owner to come in and hit the ground running. Pinch A Penny is making this a turnkey location, meaning it will be prebuilt, stocked, and ready for a new franchisee to open the doors. Pinch A Penny’s team will also handle negotiating the lease, permitting processes, and manage marketing and signage.
