FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy a Mr. Appliance Franchise

Mr. Appliance is a residential and light-commercial appliance repair franchise founded in 1996 and part of Neighborly, the home services franchise group. Owners run a service business that fixes everyday essentials such as refrigerators, ovens, washers and dryers for homeowners and commercial clients across a network of 340+ locations in the US and Canada.

The brand runs on an executive ownership model: the franchisee manages the business, builds a team and handles local sales and marketing, while licensed technicians perform the repairs. No appliance-repair experience is required to own a unit. An established location may service 8-10 homes and businesses a day, with revenue across kitchen appliances, laundry appliances and replacement parts.

As a Neighborly brand, Mr. Appliance operates with proven systems, proprietary scheduling and invoicing software, and access to the wider network for cross-brand referrals and vendor purchasing power. Territories are protected, and the model is built around repeat and referral demand in a needs-based category.

Why buy a Mr. Appliance Franchise?

Buying a Mr. Appliance franchise gives an owner an established service brand in a needs-based, recurring-demand category that tends to hold up across economic cycles. Appliances fail regardless of the wider economy, and the national name carries built-in credibility that an independent repair shop has to earn from scratch.

The executive model means owners lead a team rather than turn wrenches, making the business scalable for operators focused on sales, service and management. As a Neighborly brand, franchisees tap national vendor discounts and rebates through ProTradeNet, cross-brand referrals from sister home-services brands, and a shared marketing and technology platform. Those resources, plus the repeat-customer orientation, are the main advantages over going independent.

Mr. Appliance – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Onboarding centres on Sure Start training, covering business setup and operating systems, with about 72 hours of classroom instruction and 8-40 hours on the job, plus shadowing alongside established owners. Ongoing support includes business coaching, regional workshops, proprietary scheduling and invoicing software, recruiting and financial tools, 24/7 call support, marketing playbooks with a localized website, and ProTradeNet vendor discounts. Technical repair training is not provided directly. Resale buyers should confirm what onboarding and software access transfers on a sale, and existing technicians' certification.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Mr. Appliance suits service-minded leaders who want to manage and grow a business rather than perform repairs themselves. The model rewards owners who are sales- and relationship-oriented, comfortable hiring and leading licensed technicians, and confident being the local face of the brand in networking and marketing. No appliance or trade experience is required; business acumen, team-building and customer-service discipline matter more. Semi-absentee ownership is possible once a reliable technician team is in place, suiting hands-on operators and scalable-minded entrepreneurs alike.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Mr. Appliance is ranked #72 on Entrepreneur's 2026 Franchise 500 and has appeared on the list for sixteen consecutive years. It earned a place on Franchise Business Review's 2026 Top 200 for franchisee satisfaction, and gained 2025 recognition among Entrepreneur's Top Franchises for Veterans, plus listings for top franchises for women and most profitable franchises. A VetFran participant, it offers a veteran franchise-fee discount. As part of Neighborly, a leading home-services franchisor, the brand carries wider network credibility. Resale buyers should weigh brand recognition alongside the territory's local reviews and reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    Mr. Appliance operates in the US appliance repair market, worth about $7.2 billion in 2025 and up roughly 4% year over year (IBISWorld). The category is highly fragmented, with tens of thousands of small independents, giving a branded, systemized operator room to consolidate local share. Demand is needs-based and steady: the average household runs 6-8 major appliances, many failing within a few years, which drives repeat work largely insulated from discretionary spending. For resale buyers, that fragmentation and recurring demand support a defensible local position.
