Sabrina and Robert Guzman, a husband-and-wife leadership team, purchased PIRTEK Broadway in San Antonio, TX, in March of 2022 and signed an agreement to open their second PIRTEK location in New Braunfels in the spring of 2023. Robert, who previously served as the operations manager of PIRTEK Broadway, located at 9008 Broadway in San Antonio, TX, saw how well the brand ran its operations and began thinking about opening his own PIRTEK franchise business.

“As a proud former PIRTEK employee, Robert was able to gain great visibility into how to run the business and how having a great team to support the company set the foundation for great success,” said Sabrina Guzman. “These observations made our decision to purchase two PIRTEK franchise locations an easy one. We have learned that territory management and putting the best people in the right roles are vital to our success. We look forward to continuing our growth with this brand alongside our incredible teams.”

PIRTEK also signed 25 franchise agreements for locations in Jacksonville, FL; Milwaukee, WI; Poughkeepsie, NY; Covington, KY; Gonzales, LA; two agreements in Atlanta, GA; Alexandria, VA; Dallas, TX; San Antonio, TX; Valley View, OH; Tallahassee, FL; Pensacola, FL; Katy, TX, Baytown, TX; two agreements in Houston, TX; San Diego, CA; Monroeville, PA; Richmond, VA; New Braunfels, TX; Virginia Beach, VA; Merrillville, IN; Blacklick, OH and Johnstown, CO. These new signings include PIRTEK’s eighth location in Georgia, eighteenth location in Florida, and second locations in Kentucky and Louisiana.

"The growth PIRTEK experienced in the past year with openings and signings was substantial and a testament to the strength of this brand. We even had two former PIRTEK employees, Tyler Drehs and Robert Guzman, each become a PIRTEK franchisee, with one in Valley View, OH, and the other in San Antonio, TX,” said Nick Ridgway, Director of Franchise Development for PIRTEK USA. “We are confident the momentum for this recession-resistant business opportunity and needed service offering will continue throughout the coming year, resulting in additional growth and increased system-wide sales.”
