About this Business
Two previously developed pool service territories are now available for $75,000, representing the franchise system’s standard initial franchise fee for a two-territory package.
The prior franchisee recently ceased operations and the territories are now back in the franchisor’s inventory. While this is no longer an operating business, there is meaningful history in the market: the former operation served more than 300 customers and generated $492,504 in revenue in 2025.
A new owner will be starting fresh, but not in an untouched market. The brand has already served customers throughout the territories, built local awareness, and demonstrated demand for recurring pool service, openings, repairs, and winterization. There may also be an opportunity to reconnect with former customers as the business is relaunched.
The opportunity is now to bring new ownership and energy to two developed territories, backed by the franchise system’s training, marketing, technology, and operational support.

Growth opportunities
The pool service industry is growing as more homeowners prioritize convenience, equipment protection, and water safety. Demand continues to rise due to housing development, aging pool systems, and a shift away from DIY maintenance. This business benefits from recurring revenue, efficient systems, and strong brand recognition—positioning it to thrive in a growing, service-focused market.
Reason for Selling
Recently ceased operations and territories are back in the franchisor's inventory.
About Pool Scouts
Pool Scouts is a residential pool service franchise offering weekly cleaning, maintenance, equipment repairs, seasonal openings and closings, and pool renovations for homeowners. Founded in 2016 in Virginia Beach, Virginia, the brand began franchising the same year and operates under Buzz Franchise Brands, a multi-brand franchisor whose portfolio also includes Home Clean Heroes, British Swim School and Wonderly Lights.
The business is built around a recurring-revenue model: weekly service plans create repeat customers and predictable income across the season. Pool Scouts runs as a home-based, territory-based operation, with protected zip-code territories and no need for a retail location. Technicians, branded as Scouts, work under the tagline “Perfect Pools, Scout’s Honor,” and the brand emphasises trained, background-checked staff, digital water testing and post-service reporting.
Pool Scouts positions itself on professionalism in a market long served by independent, less consistent operators. Franchisees draw on Buzz Franchise Brands’ functional experts across marketing, analytics, training and operations, and markets remain available across the US.
Franchisee Support
New owners complete initial training at Pool Scouts headquarters in Virginia Beach, a 4-6 day hybrid of virtual and on-site instruction covering pool servicing, equipment, regulations, software, marketing and staff recruitment, with 29 hours of classroom and 26 hours of on-the-job training. Ongoing support includes a 24/7 call centre, monthly calls, a franchisee intranet, proven marketing programmes and best-in-class business-management and scheduling tools, backed by a corporate team with 80+ years of combined experience. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and intranet and system access carry over when ownership changes.
Brand Accolades & Awards
Pool Scouts has been named to Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 (most recently in 2024) and was earlier recognised among Entrepreneur's Top New Franchises. Franchise Business Review has listed it as a Franchise Rock Star and a top Low-Cost Franchise, while Franchise Gator ranked it #19 on its Fastest-Growing and #39 on its Top Emerging Franchises lists. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral strength and reputation.
Industry / Market
The US pool service industry is substantial and growing, supported by more than 10 million residential pools nationwide and homeowners' increasing focus on outdoor living. Routine cleaning, chemical balancing and repairs are essential, hands-on tasks that cannot be automated away, which keeps demand steady and has made the category broadly recession-resistant. Weekly service generates recurring rather than one-off revenue. For resale buyers, an established route in a market with high pool density and limited professional competition can be especially attractive.
Ideal Owner
Pool Scouts suits a hands-on local operator comfortable managing technicians, building recurring customer relationships and driving local marketing. No pool-industry experience is required, since training covers the technical side; the role is more about people management, customer service and day-to-day operations than personally servicing pools. Owners who are process-driven, community-minded and focused on customer retention and route efficiency tend to fit the recurring-service model well.
