The Premier Pool Service brand was later introduced in late 2017 to focus exclusively on pool maintenance and service operations. The corporate headquarters of Premier Franchise Management is located in Franklin, Tennessee.
Premier Pool Service stands out through its strong brand reputation, comprehensive technical training, and full range of pool care services.

Premier Pool Service provides franchisees with a comprehensive set of training programs to ensure proper operation of the business. These programs include both mandatory and optional components aimed at franchisees, their owners, and designated managers.
Initial Training Program Before opening, both the franchisee and the designated Manager must complete Premier Pool Service’s live and online initial training to the Franchisor’s satisfaction. The training is typically held at least once per year and covers essential business operations. There is no tuition for the initial program, but travel and other related expenses are the franchisee’s responsibility.
Successor Manager Training If a new Manager is appointed later, they must also complete the same initial training, either at the training facility or on-site, subject to Premier’s discretion. A tuition or per diem fee plus incurred travel expenses will apply for successor managers.
Mandatory Additional Training Franchisees, owners, and Managers are required to attend up to four days of additional training annually, as mandated by Premier Pool Service. These sessions are held in various U.S. locations, potentially alongside franchisee conferences.
Territory Protection
Premier Pool Service grants franchisees a defined territory, but it is not exclusive. Franchisees can market and operate only within their territory unless given written permission.
The Franchisor may still operate in a franchisee’s territory for Special Accounts or conversion-related services. Thus, territorial protection is limited and non-exclusive.
