Five Star Bath Solutions, Mosquito Shield Celebrated as Top Franchise Brands for Multi-Unit Owners by Entrepreneur

Over 90% of all territories for the two Five Star Franchising brands are owned by multi-unit owners

SPRINGVILLE, Utah, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Five Star Bath Solutions and Mosquito Shield, two fast-growing home service brands within the Five Star Franchising platform, have once again been recognized on Entrepreneur's list of the Top Franchise Brands for Multi-Unit Owners. This marks the second consecutive year that both brands have earned this distinction — a reflection of strong scalability, system-wide support and franchise owner satisfaction.

Mosquito Shield ranked No. 58, and Five Star Bath Solutions ranked No. 107 on this year's list.

"One of the benefits of the franchising model is the flexibility it offers — whether you want to run a single unit or scale across multiple territories," said Michael Moorhouse, Brand President of Mosquito Shield. "With proven systems, low startup costs and recession-resilient services, home service franchises like ours are built for growth-minded entrepreneurs."

Multi-unit ownership defines both systems:

• Over 90% of all territories are owned by multi-unit operators
• Over 80% of all franchise owners own more than one territory
• On average, franchise owners operate more than three territories

Both brands also earned spots on Entrepreneur's 2025 Franchise 500^®, with Mosquito Shield ranked No. 136 and Five Star Bath Solutions at No. 233. These rankings are based on more than 150 data points — including franchise fees, unit growth, support systems, and overall brand performance. Mosquito Shield stands out further as the #1 ranked pest control franchise by Entrepreneur for three consecutive years, reinforcing its leadership in the category and the strength of its model for multi-unit success. Both brands have also been recognized among Entrepreneur's Top Franchises Under $150K, highlighting their accessibility and strong return potential.

"It's exciting to see how many Five Star Franchising owners operate not just one location, but a business portfolio — often across multiple brands in our platform," said Dean Hartley, Brand President of Five Star Bath Solutions. "The steady rise in multi-unit ownership reflects both our strong centralized support and the staying power of our brands in the home services industry."
