Re-Bath, the nation’s largest complete bathroom remodeling franchise, has announced new franchise owners in San Diego. The one-stop-shop remodeler is seeking to capitalize on this growth, announcing 19 additional available territories across the state as it continues to award franchise opportunities to passionate, eager entrepreneurs.

Re-Bath San Diego joins three other thriving territories in major markets across California. New owners Bill Thompson and Fil Esquibel opened in Northern San Diego in April 2022 and most recently in Southern San Diego in July 2022, making up the entire DMA. Thompson brings with him 17 years of combined institutional sales and management experience, in addition to an extensive financial and accounting background. Esquibel has been an Account Executive for CBS for the past eight years, working with both local and national accounts on marketing and advertising needs. Together, their complementary backgrounds set the foundation for strong business acumen as they pursue entrepreneurship.

“We’ve always had a desire to pursue small business ownership, and when we started our search for a franchise opportunity, we were seeking strong brand-name recognition and a company that is known for exceptional customer service,” said Thompson. “Re-Bath has certainly established itself as a leader in the bathroom remodeling space, and we look forward to offering a tremendous service to San Diego as the brand continues to grow its presence across the state,” added Esquibel.

California is an attractive growth market for the Re-Bath with available territories in:
Nine territories in Los Angeles – specifically Anaheim, Huntington Beach, Torrance, Pasadena, San Bernadino and Santa Clarita/Lancaster
Two available territories in Fresno/Visalia
Two available territories in Sacramento

“California proves to be economically and socially ripe for a concept like Re-Bath and our array of bathroom remodeling services,” said Brad Hillier, CEO of Re-Bath. “We’ve welcomed several tremendously strong franchisees to operate in California who have collectively raised the bar when it comes to customer service, and we look forward to building on that legacy as we welcome new owners to our growing Re-Bath family.”

Per Re-Bath’s Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees with territories between 500,000 and 1.25 million had average revenues of over $2.35 million in 2021, up 9.5% from 2020*.

The success achieved by the brand has not gone unnoticed as Re-Bath ranked No. 2 on Qualified Remodeler’s Top 500 Nationals List and was recognized by Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500®, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Most recently, Re-Bath earned the No. 1 spot on Bob Vila’s 2022 Best Home Improvement Contractors of 2022 Ranking for “Best Bathroom Renovations.” The franchise is building off this momentum for repeated success throughout 2022, with a goal of awarding 18 franchise agreements while strengthening performance and same-store-sales.
