Pool Troopers Acquires Premier Pool Service
Pool Troopers Acquires 6th Pool Service Company on Its Mission To Grow Across the Sunbelt Region
- Naples-Marco Island, FL (1888PressRelease) June 16, 2021 - Pool Troopers announced today that it has officially acquired Premier Pool Service (“Premier”) and its repair, cleaning, and chemical lines of business in the greater Naples – Fort Myers area. This is the 6th acquisition Pool Troopers has made this year and the third in Southwest Florida. Pool Troopers has been providing pool cleaning and chemical services to the Southwest Florida area since 2014.
Over the past 22 years, Premier has built a reputation for being a top-rated and trusted provider of pool maintenance and installation services in Naples, Marco Island, and Bonita Springs. With more people staying home in the last year due to COVID, owners Chen Lung (“Jake”) and Lee Su have seen a huge increase in demand for pool construction and installation services. This trend mirrors what has been felt across the pool industry as new pool construction reaches an all-time high in the United States. Due to this surge, Jake and Lee have decided to focus solely on construction, selling the maintenance part of their company to Pool Troopers.
Gary Crayton, Chief Executive Officer of Pool Troopers, said, “Premier has built an excellent name for itself over the years due to their quality of service. I am honored that Jake and Lee are trusting us to continue their legacy. At Pool Troopers, we are ‘Family First’ which includes the families of our customers, the families of our team members, and our own Pool Troopers’ family. We look forward to welcoming the Premier team and customers to the Pool Troopers family and increasing our density in the greater Naples area.”
Jake Su, Owner of Premier, said “I love working in the pool industry and serving Collier and Lee County. In order to best serve our customers, we have made the decision to focus on construction and sell our pool maintenance business. It was our goal to leave our customers and team in the best hands possible, and we could not be more confident in our decision to partner with Pool Troopers. Pool Troopers has a proven track record for being the top-ranked pool service company in the country and has been around for nearly 70 years.”
In the fall of 2020, Pool Troopers with the support of Shoreline Equity Partners embarked on its journey to acquire and consolidate pool companies across the Sunbelt Region. With the most recent acquisition of Premier, Pool Troopers services now nearly 20,000 customers throughout Florida, Texas, and Arizona. Pool Troopers has aggressive plans for the future and will continue on its mission to bring freedom to all. Whether pool company owners are looking to accelerate growth or retire, Pool Troopers has the funding and team to help owners continue their legacies and achieve their dreams.
