Mr. Rooter Looking for Great Plumbers in Fort Wayne

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Sept. 10, 2009) – After adding five new franchise locations in August, Mr. Rooter Corporation is now looking for qualified franchise owners in Fort Wayne.

During this tough economy, this full-service plumbing and drain cleaning continues to expand. Opening a recession-resistant business like Mr. Rooter could be the right move for someone in Allen County. It was the decision 33 other businesspeople in North America made when joining the franchising company this year.

“A big advantage of being a franchise owner is receiving the support, training and backing of a national company,” said Mary Kennedy Thompson, president of Mr. Rooter Corporation. “At the same time, you get to locally own and operate a business.”

Mr. Rooter Plumbing follows a professional and customer-centered system. Technicians put covers over their shoes when inside homes and businesses to protect customers’ properties. They also give customers the price before work is done to ensure there are no surprises about the cost of service.

This professional system is one of many topics discussed during a weeklong training course at the corporate headquarters that new owners attend upon purchasing a franchise. Other topics include best practices, management and leadership techniques, customer service and marketing.

Throughout the year, the corporate office hosts regional and international trainings, meetings and conferences. This gives owners the opportunity to network with fellow franchisees.

“These events are priceless because franchisees share advice and ideas with other franchisees,” said Vernon Riggs, franchise developer for Mr. Rooter Corporation. “Being part of Mr. Rooter gives owners the ability to associate with other owners, gaining valuable information, recommendations and guidance.”

Entrepreneur magazine named the plumbing company to its Franchise 500 list, and Franchise Times magazine listed Mr. Rooter in its Top 200. The franchisor was also recognized by Franchise Business Review in its Franchise 50 Awards, which highlights the top franchise companies with the highest levels of overall franchisee satisfaction.

Shops provide services to residential and commercial customers. With trenchless technology, technicians can repair sewer lines without extensive digging in yards and tearing up walkways and driveways. Exclusive to Mr. Rooter, BioChoiceES® is a drain maintenance treatment that is environmentally friendly, safe on plumbing and easy to use.

Mr. Rooter Plumbing has franchise opportunities available in large and small markets across the United States and Canada. For more information, contact Riggs at 1-800-209-7614. For further information, visit www.MrRooter.com/franchising.
