Poolwerx has opened its 150th retail store in Cannon Hill, marking a network milestone for the pool and spa maintenance franchise across the ANZ region.
From Mobile Start To Global Network
Founded in 1992, Poolwerx has grown from a single mobile operation into an international franchise network operating across Australia, New Zealand and the United States. The company reports it is approaching 200 stores globally and operates around 750 service vans.
Cannon Hill Store Linked To JC Pools Acquisition
The Cannon Hill store forms part of Poolwerx’s acquisition of JC Pools Services, described as the largest acquisition in the company’s history. Poolwerx said the deal strengthened its residential and commercial presence across Brisbane, including two retail locations and their associated service territories.
Poolwerx reported the acquisition added 4,000 clients and included multi-million-dollar commercial contracts, expanding its commercial servicing capacity. Refurbishment of the Cannon Hill site was scheduled for completion by 31 October 2025.
Franchise Partner Behind The Milestone Opening
The Cannon Hill store is operated by franchise partner Richard Kelly, who leads the Poolwerx Mt Gravatt Group. The Cannon Hill location is Kelly’s fifth store, alongside existing outlets in Balmoral, Carindale, Mt Gravatt and Rochedale.
Since joining the network in 2021, Poolwerx reported Kelly delivered 58 per cent revenue growth across four retail stores and a fleet of 20 service vans.
Growth Targets For The Network
Poolwerx has forecast double-digit network growth over the next five years and has targeted double-digit total revenue growth in FY26. The company has linked its next stage of expansion to technology, digital transformation and an adaptable service structure.
What Happens Next
Poolwerx said the Cannon Hill store reflects continued investment in expanding its residential and commercial footprint, with further network growth projected over the next five years.
