As a third generation plumber, Eric Carter has been around the plumbing industry his entire life. So it was no surprise when after graduating high school, he got his plumbing license and went to work in the family plumbing business in Fort Worth, Texas. Carter worked at his family’s company off and on throughout his career, but about five years ago, an opportunity knocked in the form of a bluefrog Plumbing + Drain franchise.
“bluefrog San Antonio became available, and my son lived down there with his mom, so it made sense for us to jump in,” Carter says. “I knew a lot of the guys involved in putting the franchise together and we were kicking around the idea of possibly starting another business. We were looking for a company where we could come in and essentially just flip the switch on something that already had everything together. bluefrog San Antonio had already been open a short time, but the owner had passed away. We came in and bought the business from his family, and then we uprooted and moved to San Antonio. The rest is history.”
