Buy a Premier Pools & Spas Franchise

Premier Pools & Spas is one of the largest swimming pool builders in the United States, founded in 1988 in Sacramento, California and franchising since 2014 through Premier Franchise Management of Franklin, Tennessee. The network has grown to more than 170 locations across 33-plus states and has built over 90,000 pools.

The brand designs and installs inground pools in vinyl, gunite and fiberglass, along with spas and wider backyard projects for homeowners. A companion model, Premier Pool Service, handles year-round cleaning, maintenance and repair, so the system pairs high-value construction projects with recurring service income. Franchisees operate protected territories supported by group buying power and shared operating systems.

Founder Paul Porter continues to lead the company as CEO, and it retains its family-owned character. Premier Franchise Management also runs sister pool brands such as Pinnacle Pools & Spas, and the brand has gained consumer visibility through features on the TV series “Pool Kings”.

Why buy a Premier Pools & Spas Franchise?

Buying a Premier Pools & Spas franchise offers entry into one of the most recognised names in American pool construction, within a home-improvement category that has stayed resilient as backyard living remains a homeowner priority. The brand pairs established name recognition with proven systems, so a new owner is not building a reputation from zero.

The dual construction-and-service structure is a core strength: large pool projects generate high-ticket revenue, while service contracts build steady recurring income that smooths seasonal swings. Franchisees benefit from exclusive vendor discounts and group purchasing power, an in-house marketing team that manages websites, social media and digital advertising, and protected territories that limit internal competition.

Premier Pools & Spas – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners receive hands-on initial training of two to four weeks covering construction, sales and day-to-day operations, with ongoing support from the Franklin, Tennessee head office. Franchisees gain proprietary technology and operating systems, exclusive vendor discounts and group buying power, and an in-house marketing team that manages each owner's website, social media and digital advertising. Resale buyers should confirm with Premier Franchise Management what transfer training and system access pass to a new owner, and whether existing crews hold the relevant experience.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits sales-oriented operators and team leaders rather than hands-on tradespeople; no pool or construction background is required, since the franchisor supplies the technical systems. Construction-focused owners manage projects, crews and subcontractors and close higher-value sales, while service-focused owners run scheduling, recurring accounts and customer relationships. The strongest fit is a relationship-driven local operator comfortable recruiting and leading staff, handling seasonal demand and building referral business across a protected territory.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Premier has earned multiple Franchise Business Review honours, including 2024 Top Franchises awards for culture, low-cost franchises and veterans, alongside an Entrepreneur Franchise 500 listing and recognition on the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing companies list. The brand positions itself as America's fastest-growing pool franchise, cites more than 90,000 pools built over 35-plus years, and has gained consumer visibility through features on the TV series "Pool Kings". For resale buyers, national recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral sources and reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US swimming pool construction market was worth about $24.8 billion in 2025 (IBISWorld), driven by demand for backyard living and outdoor home improvement. Pool cleaning and maintenance services have grown around 4.2% a year over 2020-2025, adding recurring demand that is less economy-sensitive than new builds. The sector stays highly fragmented across local operators, which favours branded networks with buying power and marketing scale. For resale buyers, a territory's mix of project versus recurring revenue and local competition are key factors.
