Neighborly’s placement at 4,345 is a result of the company’s consistent growth year-over -year, made up of more than 4,800 franchises representing 28 total brands that repair, maintain and enhance properties, united under one platform serving more than 10 million customers across nine countries. 

Midgett joins ARS with more than 30 years of experience as a sales and marketing professional and leader. 

This transaction will support Zoom Drain's efforts to strengthen its position as the leading provider of drain and sewer services in Philadelphia.

Upgrading restrooms to be hands-free adds exponential value for business owners, and plumbing franchises have the mass infrastructure and support necessary to provide businesses with these upgrades and the promotional materials that will help them bring in more customers.

Stellar Brands also plans to add more locations to the roster for Restoration 1 and bluefrog Plumbing + Drain through strong franchise development initiatives.

The decision to join a franchise is not an easy one for plumbing and heating contractors.

As chief strategy and marketing officer for Neighborly, Chacko will be responsible for all of the company’s marketing and strategy divisions.

In 2020, bluefrog Plumbing + Drain awarded six new locations, entered Virginia, and is now servicing eight states.

The list, which can be found in the winter issue of Inc. (on newsstands Dec. 29), recognizes small- and medium-size privately held American businesses that have had a superlative impact on their communities, their industries, the environment or society. 

While 2020 has been a year of uncertainty for most businesses, Mr. Rooter Plumbing is celebrating its 50th anniversary by adding more franchises to its lineup.
