Sir Grout

The vendor opportunity at Sir Grout

Sir Grout presents a concentrated opportunity for software vendors, with 91 total units, all of which are franchised. The system shows strong momentum, with year-over-year unit growth of 28.17%. Average unit volume sits at $622,650, and the royalty rate is 6.0%. The operator base is entirely single-unit owners—71 mapped operators across roughly 71 located units, with no multi-unit operators on file. Top states by location count are Florida (10), North Carolina (6), Texas (4), Arizona (4), and California (4). This structure means a sale to the franchisor can unlock the entire system, but there is no fragmented multi-unit buyer to pursue separately.

Who controls software purchasing

Control is centralized. The FDD lists five members of the Board of Managers: Jordan Lajoie (Chairman), Caroline Quoyeser (Vice President and Manager), Stephen Rice (Vice President, Secretary and Manager), Steven Siegel (Manager), and Ryan Farris (Manager). While no dedicated CIO or VP of Technology is named, technology mandates almost certainly flow from this group. For a vendor, the path to adoption runs through these executives at the Ohio headquarters. The brand appears independently owned, with no parent company on file, so there is no larger corporate procurement layer to navigate.

Mandated and current tech stack

The FDD is explicit about required systems. Franchisees must use customer relationship management software, field service and customer management software, financial and accounting software, and job estimating software. These are all mandated. Additionally, the franchisor recommends digital marketing services and email and postcard marketing services. Specific vendor names for any of these mandated or recommended systems are not disclosed in the FDD extract. This creates a clear map of the operational software categories already locked in, and by extension, the adjacent categories where a vendor might find an opening.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Procurement signals are thin in the available data. Item 8, which typically outlines designated suppliers, approved suppliers, or open procurement, is not extracted. Similarly, Item 17 renewal terms and the initial franchise term length are not disclosed. This lack of visibility makes it difficult to predict contract cycles or renewal windows. Vendors should approach with a discovery mindset, using the mandated tech categories as a starting point to ask about supplier status and contract durations directly with HQ.
