The vendor opportunity at Enviro-Master

Enviro-Master runs 167 units out of North Carolina, 163 of them franchised, under parent EMP Enviro Master Holdco. The FDD sets a 6% royalty and a short 5-year initial term, and the network is growing fast — unit count is up 27.3% year over year, and the FDD makes a financial performance representation with a reported average unit volume of $1,050,000.

Who controls software purchasing

Item 2 names five officers: Frank Costello (President and CEO), Marty Hulse (COO), Darren Boatwright (CFO), Tod Bierling (SVP of Strategic Development) and Mark Watson (VP of Franchise Development). Since the FDD requires none of the systems it names, individual franchisees make their own software decisions — a vendor pitch benefits from HQ-level sponsorship but ultimately has to reach the operators running the 163 franchised units.

Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required

The FDD names seven systems — Acumatica (Item 19), Facebook, Instagram, QuickBooks, Yelp and Zoho (all Item 11), and Sage 50 (Item 1) — and requires none of them. Each appears in the filing, but nothing in the FDD obliges a franchisee to use it.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 sets an approved-supplier list: franchisees must purchase restroom hygiene chemicals, drain line management products, paper products, and both initial and ongoing product inventory from Enviro-Master or its designated Approved Suppliers. Franchisees can propose alternative suppliers for review, though approval isn't guaranteed and may come with fees or mark-ups. Item 17 offers a 10-year renewal term after the 5-year initial term, conditioned on 180 to 240 days' notice, current compliance, updated locations and training, timely payments, a general release and a renewal fee.

Questions vendors ask

Enviro-Master, answered from the filing

Frank Costello (President and CEO) and Marty Hulse (COO) lead the franchisor. Since the FDD requires none of the systems it names, individual franchisees choose their own software, so a vendor's path runs through both HQ sponsorship and direct outreach to operators.

167 total units — 163 franchised and 4 company-owned — up 27.3% year over year, one of the fastest-growing systems in the corpus.
Item 8 sets an approved-supplier list. Restroom hygiene chemicals, drain line management products, paper products and inventory must come from Enviro-Master or its designated suppliers; other alternatives can be proposed for review, though approval isn't guaranteed.
The initial term is 5 years, with Item 17 offering a 10-year renewal term conditioned on notice, compliance, updated locations and training, and a renewal fee — a short first cycle followed by longer renewal windows across a rapidly growing base.
