Grocery Store Fire

SERVPRO Industries was originally launched in 1967 by Ted and Doris Isaacson as a painting business in Sacramento, California.  But with their background in cleaning and restoration, they transformed the company into a franchisor of cleanup and restoration specialists.  They sold their first franchise in 1969.  By 1988, there were 647 franchises and the corporate headquarters was moved to Gallatin, Tennessee.  Today there are over 1,700 franchises in the United States and Canada. 

According to Wikipedia, “Despite the franchise structure of numerous relatively small entities, SERVPRO has the capacity and organizational competence to respond to large-scale disasters, including major corporate and government contracts…..”  What that means to you is that we are always here to help. Whether you are a single homeowner in an area that has been hit by a large scale storm like a hurricane, or you are a large or small business, we can call upon our national franchise system to work together to address your needs.  We are the only restoration company in the industry that has the organizational competence to do this.    

Recently we helped the Madison franchise clean up after a fryer caught fire at a Pick ‘n Save in Columbus, Wisconsin.  Our two franchises worked together and put in long hours so that the store could reopen in just 3 days. We couldn’t be any prouder of our crews and the effort they put in to get that grocery store reopened, especially during these unprecedented times of a global pandemic.  It’s so important that our grocery stores remain open to serve their communities.
