Screenmobile Continues National Expansion Amid Covid-19
Leading Mobile Franchise Celebrates Six Openings and New Business Ownership Announcements Since January
Amid the national pandemic that has halted
many business operations across various industries, Screenmobile, “America’s
Neighborhood Screen Stores,” has remained as strong as ever. The brand recently
opened new locations (and announced new ownerships) in several cities across
the nation, such as Destin, Florida; Cincinnati; Palmdale and Orange County,
California; Boerne, Texas; and Prince William and Fairfax County, Virginia.
After a
significant year of growth in 2019, Screenmobile started the new decade off strong.
As COVID-19 hit the U.S. in early March, most Screenmobile locations were able
to safely continue business operations as essential businesses.
“As the social distancing became a
reality, our system adjusted really well to working with no customer contact. I
am really proud of our new franchisees staying strong and working through a
difficult start up,” said Scott Walker, President and CEO of Screenmobile. “It
just confirms they have what it takes to be part of the Screenmobile family.”
The months of March and April also gave a big boost to the brand, with
six new franchisees opening up amidst the health crisis. Existing locations
continued to see tremendous sales growth (sales numbers varied by location),
with select locations seeing as much as a 20% increase in April.
“As schools,
beaches, bars, restaurants and other non-essential workplaces in my town and
state began to close, I started to worry that my calls would dramatically
decrease. But, just two months into business I was getting more and more calls
every day,” said Adam Albarado, owner of the new location in Destin. “Thankfully,
with the easy, no-contact nature of our business, and with our services being
deemed essential, COVID-19 hasn’t impacted our success – in fact, we couldn’t
be busier. I was lucky to have chosen Screenmobile as my first business!”

Screenmobile remains a proven, recession-resistant mobile franchise
concept. The brand offers low overhead (with a quick ramp-up time) and has a
seamless process to measure, manufacture, install, and ensure a proper fit of
the screens—all in one visit. Screenmobile brings quality, stylish screens, and
outdoor living concepts at affordable prices to home improvement projects
across the country. It also specializes in security screen door installations.
The brand’s unmatched commitment to customer satisfaction and convenience is
just one way the company makes home improvement projects a breeze.
And,
Screenmobile continues to grow. Franchisees opened more than 17 units last year,
bringing the brand’s total number
to 129 units in communities across the United States.
“We opened our business for the first time on March 16 and a few days
later learned of the national reaction to the virus and its potential effects
on society as well as businesses. We were fortunate to have Screenmobile’s
corporate support, quick response, and ongoing weekly meetings to make sure we
started strong—and we did,” said Dwain Cheeseman, owner of the Boerne location.
“With the corporate staff support, we have grown our sales week by week and
don't see any signs of our business slowing down anytime soon.”
Screenmobile’s
success is rooted in its commitment to customer satisfaction. In a single
visit, a Screenmobile representative arrives in uniform, then measures,
manufactures, installs and tests the screens on-site. Afterwards, Screenmobile
follows up with proactive communication to ensure the needs of the customer are
met.
