It’s one year since Clark Rubber’s new owners took the helm with fresh ideas, network expansion goals, and a desire to transform the customer experience while nurturing the iconic 75-year old brand.

Big plans, big opportunities

“We’re gearing up for a rapid expansion,” says CEO Anthony Grice. “This will involve a combination of acquiring greenfield sites, increasing the number of mobile service vans and bringing new franchisees into existing sites, while maintaining our existing stores” With this comes opportunities to join Clark Rubber as franchisee of either a large format ‘full service’ store, smaller-footprint Pools & Spas Store, or a Clark Pools & Spas mobile service van.

Large format retail stores carry the entire Clark Rubber range from pools and equipment, to mattresses, foam and rubber matting. The stores also offer a bespoke ‘Made to Order’ service for cushions, mattresses and other home furnishings 

A Clark Pools & Spa service van is the affordable way to get into owning and growing your own business. This franchise model includes a mobile service van complete with state-of-the-art technology, software and equipment, and a defined service territory.

Sitting between the two is the Clark Pools & Spas Store franchise model. This smaller-footprint shop, as the name suggests, is a dedicated retail space offering a complete range of pools, spas, equipment, accessories, and service.

A destination for the industry

Central to Clark Rubber’s network development strategy is its recently launched online engagement portal. This brand new digital environment hosts a wealth of franchising information, industry news, and engaging franchise blog content from Australia and around the world.

“We saw an opportunity to create a ‘hub’ for both our current/prospective franchisees, and also the wider industry” explains Anthony. “With our ambitious expansion plans and over 25 years of acquired knowledge in the franchise space, we’ve sought to create a true destination not only for our own franchisees, but the industry as a whole”.

What sets Clark Rubber apart as a prospective franchisor?

When you’re doing your research, you’ll find Clark Rubber does more than tick basic boxes. First, there’s a track record few can match – an incredibly strong brand, with a continuous retail history stretching back over 75 years. “This includes over 25 years of franchising,” says Anthony. “That’s what you call a proven business model!”

Then there’s the award-winning support. “We’re very proud of our onboarding program, which we believe is best in class. From there, our franchisees receive all of the ongoing education, training and assistance they need to run a successful business. We’re totally committed to everyone’s success.”

And as a further indication of the degree to which Clark Rubber seeks to pair the right franchisee with the right opportunity, the company has recently engaged third-party specialists ‘Franchise Agency’ to optimise the partnership and onboarding process. With over 15 years’ experience in the franchise space across a broad range of industries, Director Alex Johnson provides support across the complete process, including network development, onboarding, marketing, lead generation and ongoing operational support.
