PIRTEK USA, an on-site and retail hydraulic and industrial hose service provider, kicked off 2025 with significant momentum, adding 20 new territories and opening 10 locations in the first quarter alone. This early-year growth includes the brand’s first-ever expansion into Kansas and Delaware, further strengthening PIRTEK’s coast-to-coast coverage and presence in untapped markets.
Of the 20 new territories signed in Q1, 16 were awarded to new franchisees entering the system, while four represented expansions by existing owners capitalizing on PIRTEK’s proven model. Meanwhile, the 10 new locations opened, included six launched by first-time franchisees and four by current owners expanding their operations.
“We’re seeing continued strong interest from entrepreneurs across the country who recognize the value and staying power of the PIRTEK model,” said John Dobelbower, Vice President of Franchise Development at PIRTEK USA. “The combination of essential service, high demand, and operational support makes this a compelling opportunity, whether you’re new to franchising or looking to grow an existing business portfolio.”
Among the expanding owners is John Baker, owner of PIRTEK Waco in Waco, Texas. In Q1 2025, John expanded his PIRTEK business by opening a second location in Temple, Texas, and signed an agreement to develop a third territory in Tyler-Longview, TX, with plans to open that location in Q4 of this year.
“After seeing the demand and success in the Waco market, it became clear that there was a significant opportunity to expand throughout Central Texas,” said Baker.
