PuroClean has been named to Entrepreneur’s 2026 Top Brands for Multi-Unit Owners and Top Global Franchises lists. The property restoration and remediation franchise ranked No. 79 for multi-unit owners and No. 148 among global franchises. Franchise Owners Tomas Mejia and Sonia Gonzalez have grown their PuroClean portfolio to nine units across five states. PuroClean provides restoration and remediation services to residential and commercial customers in the U.S. and Canada.

Multi Unit Growth

PuroClean reports that 44% of its Franchise Owners operate multiple territories. The company is seeking Franchise Owners across North America, including experienced multi-unit operators and entrepreneurs looking to diversify their portfolios into property restoration.

“There is no greater compliment to a franchise system than a Franchise Owner choosing to reinvest in the brand. 44% of PuroClean's Franchise Owners operate multiple territories. These are experienced operators making the decision to invest additional capital in a business they already know, based on the results they've achieved and the opportunities they see for continued growth.”

Brandon Mangual, Vice President of Franchise Development at PuroClean

Nine Units Across Five States

“When Sonia and I came to the United States from Colombia, our goal was to build a business and create opportunities for our family. We chose PuroClean because we saw the potential to grow in an essential industry with the support of an established franchise system. What started as an investment has grown into a multi-unit operation across five states. That growth took years of hard work, determination, a great team, and a Relentless Customer Service mentality that has become the foundation of how we operate. PuroClean's strategic partnerships, National Accounts program, and commercial large-loss capabilities have also helped us pursue larger projects and expand our reach. For us, entrepreneurship is about more than growing a business. It's about creating jobs, developing people, and making a difference in the communities we serve.”

Tomas Mejia, Franchise Owner at PuroClean

Entrepreneur Ranking Criteria

The Top Brands for Multi-Unit Owners list recognizes franchise systems that give operators support, scalability and unit economics to grow beyond a single location. The Top Global Franchises list highlights brands with a strong and expanding footprint across U.S. and international markets. Both rankings draw from more than 1,300 companies that applied for Entrepreneur’s 2026 Franchise 500 and were scored on more than 150 data points.

“We knew our dream of building a better future for our family wouldn't be easy, but I don't think we fully understood how many long days, late nights, and sacrifices it would take. Today, seeing our PuroClean business grow across five states is incredibly rewarding, but what makes me most proud is the people behind that growth. We've created jobs, watched team members develop their careers, and helped families and businesses through some of the hardest moments of their lives. PuroClean gave us a foundation and the support to grow, but it was our team's dedication, hard work, and commitment to taking care of people that brought us here. I hope our journey encourages other immigrant entrepreneurs to believe that they can build something meaningful here, too.”
