LOS ANGELES, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- California entrepreneur and local business owner, Andy Tai, of PuroClean of Rowland Heights, has been awarded the highly coveted Rookie of the Year Award at the Annual PuroClean International Convention, an honor given to the top-performing new Franchise Owner in their first year of operation. Tai earned this prestigious recognition after achieving the highest sales revenue among all new locations within their first 12 months of operation, a reflection of his extraordinary work ethic, business acumen, and dedication to his community.

"Wow! This feels amazing, thank you," said Tai. "I wouldn't be able to do this without my amazing team, and I hope to bring one of them with me to the annual conference next year. Thanks to my amazing wife who has supported me since day one, to my RD's, and to Bob Jordan, my mentor, who opened his door from day one and showed me everything. Also, a big thank you to my neighboring PuroClean. I'm just getting started on my journey as a franchisee with PuroClean and can't wait for what the future has in store — so watch out!"

A first-generation American and seasoned entrepreneur, Tai brings a wealth of business experience and a relentless drive to his role as a PuroClean Franchise Owner. Born in Hong Kong and raised in Los Angeles, Tai has built multiple successful ventures spanning the auto industry, event sales, and real estate investment. A self-starter with a passion for customer service and community impact, he was drawn to property restoration after identifying a strong opportunity to combine his operational expertise with meaningful service.
