The vendor opportunity at PlumbingPro

PlumbingPro is a home services franchise based in Los Angeles, California. According to its 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document, the system consists of just 2 franchised units. The number of company-owned locations is not disclosed. For a software vendor, the immediate addressable market is tiny—only two locations—but the absence of any mandated technology stack means there is no incumbent to displace. The royalty rate is 6.0%, and the initial franchise term runs for 10 years. Year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed in the FDD, and no average unit volume (AUV) figure is provided.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2026 FDD lists five executives in Item 1, all based at the Los Angeles headquarters. Steve Gremillion serves as Vice President of Research and Development, a title that strongly suggests he evaluates operational and technology solutions. Carl Vincent is Vice President of Business Development, Don Marks is Chief Executive Officer, Leslie Carter is Chairman of the Board, and Michael Kleimeyer is Director of Franchise Development. With only two franchisees and no disclosed field operators in our corpus, purchasing authority almost certainly rests with this HQ group. A vendor pitch should target Gremillion for technical fit and Marks or Vincent for budget authority.

Mandated and current tech stack

PlumbingPro’s 2026 FDD does not name any mandated or recommended technology systems. There is no required POS, no specified field service management platform, and no designated software vendors of any kind. This is a blank slate. For a vendor, that means the sales conversation starts from zero: you must build the business case without the tailwind of a franchisor mandate, but you also face no competitive lock-in. The lack of a tech stack disclosure is itself a signal—this is a small, likely low-tech operation where the franchisor has not prioritized centralized technology standards.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 of the FDD, which typically outlines procurement restrictions and designated suppliers, was not captured in our extract. This means the procurement model—whether franchisees are required to buy from specific suppliers, must use approved vendors, or have complete freedom—is not publicly known. Vendors should clarify this directly in discovery conversations. On renewals, Item 17 states that a franchisee must be in good standing and must sign the then-current form of Franchise Agreement, which may contain materially different terms than the original. The renewal term is 10 years. With only 2 units and no disclosed growth trajectory, there is no predictable renewal wave or expansion-driven buying cycle to target.

It was filed with state franchise regulators and represents the most current public disclosure available. For software vendors, the key sections are Item 1 (the franchisor and its executives), Item 8 (restrictions on sources of products and services), and Item 11 (franchisor’s obligations, where technology mandates typically appear).
