Garage Living opened multiple new franchise locations, including in Australia.
TORONTO, Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Analysts say the years between 2020 and 2030 may be remembered as “the golden age of remodeling.” That’s because 3.7 million more U.S. homes may reach the age they typically need renovations. The number of homes between 20 and 39 years old may increase to about 24.2 million in 2027, up from 20.5 million in 2018. This means lots of bathrooms, kitchens, and garages need remodeling.
To accommodate, one of North America’s leading garage renovation companies is expanding. Garage Living has opened eight new franchise locations in the second half of 2023, including two in Australia. This brings the company’s total franchise count to 38 sites in the U.S. and 47 overall, including locations in Canada.
Garage Living opened locations in Richmond, Virginia; Columbus, Ohio, and Ottawa, Ontario, in June. The company followed that with two more openings in July in Boston and London, Ontario. It’s ending the year by adding sites in Oklahoma City, Melbourne, Australia; and Sydney.
“The needs of our aging housing stock are only getting more pronounced,” said Aaron Cash, Garage Living’s president of franchise systems. “That’s why we couldn’t be more excited about adding these new branches to our growing family tree.
