Cleaning Is Their Superpower

|Startups - Fall 2025
Everything gets dirty, which is why the power-washing franchise Rolling Suds is rolling strong—and looking for new franchisees.
The Rolling Suds power-washing brand began more than three decades ago in Pennsylvania. It started franchising in 2022 and had 47 franchise locations open as of July 2024, landing it on our Franchise 500 for the first time in 2025.
“Last year, we evolved a lot,” says chairman Aaron Harper. “Our systems were built at the beginning of the year, but we quickly realized we needed to build an executive team of seasoned franchise professionals to support our franchisees. Going from 90 territories sold at the end of 2023 to nearly 250 territories sold by the end of 2024 required us to grow as a team.”
