CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Servpro of Montgomery County has been around for a while, but has grown significantly in the last couple of years, particularly as part of the Team Nicholson franchise group. This past month, the group added a new location in the Orlando, Florida, market and headed west to capture five additional licenses in the Fort Worth, Texas, market.

They now have 17 licenses in six major metropolitan areas: the company’s Clarksville headquarters, Memphis, Orlando, St. Petersburg, Tampa and Fort Worth, according to a news release.

Servpro specializes in fire and water mitigation and restoration. When COVID-19 hit, Servpro of Montgomery County and the entire Team Nicholson Group worked on a national level cleaning facilities and assisting companies in resuming work as quickly as possible.

“Giving back to our community that’s been so good to us is not only good business but also the right thing to do. It’s who we are,” said Jeff Truitt, COO of the Servpro Team Nicholson Franchise System.

Brent Nicholson, the franchise owner with partner Leo Millan, added, “The move to Fort Worth and continued growth is not a step Leo and I would take if we did not believe in our team’s ability to adapt and thrive. My belief in our team gives me the confidence to continue pursuing growth throughout the region. We built our foundation investing in people and will continue to do so.”

There are 1,700 Servpro franchises across the country. Few have experienced the growth of Servpro of Montgomery County. “We will become the No. 1 Servpro in the country and we will better our teammates’ lives in the process,” Truitt said.

“It is our hope that we can provide a path for our employees to change their family tree and establish a better life for themselves,” Millan said.

The Nicholson group has grown to a $27 million a year company, ranking in the top 10 Servpro franchises for the last four years. The Servpro of Montgomery County location at 1880 Ashland City Road will continue to serve the local area as well as be the training center and hub of operations for all locations.
