Brands that Give Back AWIN-WIN

Giving back is a winning proposition for Justin Rowling and his two Premium Service Brands franchises

Justin Rowling was set on investing in a gym business when he first embarked on his search for a franchise. “I am into fitness, so I figured it would be ideal,” he says. But after some research, he realized his skill set was better suited to a servicedriven business. The former auto services director enjoyed working with customers and was an allaround people person.

When he was introduced to Premium Service Brands he knew he could leverage his soft skills with any of its brands. “It was a great fit on many levels. I loved the company culture and values, and I also loved that the brands complement each other. There’s lots of potential for growth across the franchises,” he says. So instead of going with a gym franchise, he ultimately invested in two home services brands: 360˚Painting and Maid Right. The painting and cleaning franchises offered low startup costs and simple business models just like all of the Premium Service Brands. They also gave him an opportunity to give back to his community.

“While I love helping others, there is an added benefit to community service – it’s good for business,” he says. Rowling and his 360˚ team engage in various service projects from running food drives to donating painting services for schools and day care centers. “We try to do a lot in our community.” It’s a great team-building activity that boosts morale and it also brings brand awareness,” he says. “We always leave a sign up after we finish a volunteer project. After all, who doesn’t want to work with a company that does great things for its community?”
