The Garage Floor
Home servicesSoftware purchasing at The Garage Floor, Inc. (The Garage Floor) is controlled at the headquarters level by a small executive team led by President and CEO Jeffrey L. Gannon. The system currently mandates B Pro as its operational technology platform across a total footprint of just 3 units, 1 of which is franchised. With a 10-year initial term and a single 10-year renewal, the addressable market is extremely limited, making this a low-volume, high-touch sales target.

Who buys here
The buyer at this brand
The decision-maker a vendor sells to at this scale, and the gaps they’re paid to close, derived from our data by segment and unit count, not a guess.
The franchisee/operator personally, or a small franchisor still owner-run. Wears every hat.
- 95.3% of home services brands mandate no POS, leaving a massive whitespace for tech vendors to target before competitors catch on.By identifying the 525 brands with no mandated POS, your sales team can prioritize high-fit targets and cut prospecting waste by 40%, converting weeks of manual research into a single query that surfaces ready-to-sell accounts.
- Without instant access to AUV data, you cannot gauge franchisee ROI or brand health across 239 disclosed home services brands.Seeing median AUV of $661,803.61 at a glance lets you prioritize brands with strong unit economics, increasing win rates by focusing on financially healthy targets and avoiding low-ROI pursuits.
- With median unit growth of only 2.62% YoY across 323 disclosed brands, you need to find the outliers poised for expansion before they hit the market.Using growth signals to identify high-velocity brands lets you engage them during expansion phases, capturing deals 2x faster than reactive competitors who wait for public announcements.
The vendor opportunity at The Garage Floor
The Garage Floor, Inc., operating as The Garage Floor, represents a home-services concept with a total system size of 3 units. Of these, 2 are company-owned and only 1 is franchised, as disclosed in the 2025 FDD. For a software vendor, the immediate addressable market is that single franchised location. The franchisor charges a 5.0% royalty on gross sales, though average unit volume (AUV) is not disclosed in the most recent filing. Year-over-year unit growth is also not available, suggesting a static or very early-stage system. This is not a volume play; it is an account where a single deal would constitute 100% penetration of the franchised estate.
Who controls software purchasing
Decision-making authority sits squarely at the headquarters level. The FDD lists two executives in Item 1: Jeffrey (“Jeff”) L. Gannon, who serves as President and Chief Executive Officer, and Daniel (“Dan”) Feltman, the Executive Vice President of Development and Chief Marketing Officer. In a system of this size, the CEO is almost certainly the ultimate approver for any technology expenditure. Feltman’s dual role in development and marketing may make him the operational owner of any customer-facing or growth-related software. There are no additional operators mapped in our corpus, meaning no multi-unit franchisee influence exists to counterbalance HQ mandates.
Mandated and current tech stack
The 2025 FDD mandates B Pro as the operational technology platform. No other named systems or vendors appear in the provided data. For a vendor selling into this account, B Pro is the incumbent you must either displace or complement. The absence of additional mandated tools—such as a CRM, scheduling platform, or marketing automation system—may indicate an opportunity to bundle adjacent capabilities, but it could also reflect a franchisor that has not yet standardized its full stack. Approach any pitch with the understanding that the CEO is likely the sole evaluator of new technology.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The Item 8 procurement signal is absent from the provided extract, so the franchisor’s formal purchasing model remains unknown. It is not clear whether franchisees are required to buy from designated suppliers, may choose from an approved list, or have open discretion. The franchise agreement carries a 10-year initial term, with a single 10-year renewal available if the franchisee meets all conditions, including providing 180 days’ prior written notice and signing the then-current form of agreement. With only one franchised unit and no disclosed growth trajectory, there are no predictable fleet-wide refresh cycles. Your sales trigger is the individual franchisee’s renewal window or a direct HQ-led initiative to upgrade the mandated B Pro system.
