Appell Striping Disrupts Franchise Industry Norms with a Broker-Free Growth Model

Industry leader in pavement maintenance and painting offers a direct path to franchise ownership with lower costs and strong national demand

LONG ISLAND, N.Y., April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a franchising world dominated by brokers, with 56 percent of franchises expected to use brokers in 2025, Appell Striping is proud to be an exception. As a leader in professional pavement maintenance and striping services, the franchise has built a successful, rapidly expanding national franchise system without relying on brokers to source potential franchisees. This distinctive approach speaks to the strength of the Appell brand, the high demand for its services, and its industry credibility.

"Appell Striping stands apart in the industry because we grow without relying on brokers. Successful entrepreneurs are choosing us because of the proven system we offer, our strong national demand, and the repeat business built into our services," said Bryan Appell, Co-Founder of Appell Striping. "This organic growth model is something we're extremely proud of and a key differentiator in the competitive franchise landscape."

What sets Appell Striping apart even more is its commitment to keeping costs low for franchise owners by eliminating broker fees. With brokers often receiving up to 50% of the initial franchise fee, this approach ensures that franchisees benefit from a more affordable entry into the business while ensuring that those who join the network are aligned with the company's mission and values. The model has driven Appell's continued success, with six locations open across NY, FL, NJ, GA, PA and TX and significant opportunities for future growth nationwide.

"Working directly with Appell made our transition into business ownership seamless," said David Wahlstrom, Franchise Owner of Appell Striping of West Houston. "Without outside influence, we were able to focus entirely on making sure this opportunity aligned with our goals. My wife and I couldn't be happier with our decision, and we're excited for the future and the success we see ahead."

Appell Striping's sustained growth is a testament to the strength of its model, with a 29.31% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last decade. As the parking lot maintenance industry continues to expand at a 3.4% CAGR, the brand is looking for franchise owners ready to capitalize on both local jobs and national contracts with major clients, including top coffee and fast-food chains. Franchisees benefit from advanced technology, including aerial imaging and Graco equipment, along with comprehensive, paid training and ongoing support. With built-in repeat business and a proven system, Appell Striping offers entrepreneurs a high-demand, scalable opportunity in a thriving industry.

"As someone with extensive experience in the franchise industry, what stands out to me about Appell Striping is its ability to grow organically," said Ryan Combe, Franchise Development Partner at Appell. "The fact that people are choosing Appell Striping without the influence of brokers speaks volumes about the strength of our brand, the demand for our services, and the reputation we've built."

Looking for franchise owners who want to build a lasting business, Appell Striping's growth potential, low overhead costs, and repeat business model make it a compelling investment opportunity. As the brand continues to expand across the country, franchisees will have the chance to tap into a lucrative market with the backing of a proven and innovative company.
