Conserva Irrigation ranked No. 30 on Entrepreneur magazine’s Top 100 New Franchises list.
Russ Jundt founded the Richmond, Va.-headquartered irrigation company in 2010 — and did so on the principle of water conservation. Today, the company and its franchise model targets the repair and maintenance of both commercial and residential sprinkler systems.
“Until now landscape irrigation providers have been mostly installation-focused with very little attention to providing a high level of service,” Jundt said. “Conserva Irrigation has introduced a next level of sophistication and is going above the norm of merely showing up to fix the customer’s problem. We are educating the consumer, implementing the use of revolutionary water-saving technology, and offering a best-in-class customer experience.”
Conserva began franchising in 2017. Now, the company has 38 locations with 84 licensed territories across 22 states. Most recently, the company signed four franchise agreements that will expand its presence into Florida.
“We are excited to have Conserva ranked as one of the 100 best newbies in the franchise world,” said Chris Grandpre, chairman & CEO for Outdoor Living Brands, Conserva’s parent company. “The franchise community is constantly evolving and welcoming new brands into the fold, but to have a green industry company recognized with such a prestigious ranking is really groundbreaking for us.”
