Koala Insulation is excited to announce the opening of their first Canadian franchise location based in Cambridge servicing Kitchener-Waterloo. The rapidly growing leader in residential, commercial, and industrial insulation services, has been on a mission to fill a need for eco-friendly insulation services, dedicated to improving energy efficiency, comfort, and indoor air quality.
The first Canadian location, led by local entrepreneurs Justin Prittie and Greg Quaile, is aligned with the brand’s recent rapid expansion in the USA to over 400 franchises in 4 years, and franchise system goal of 100 franchises with multiple unit ownership Canada wide within 5 years, including 35 offices covering all major centers across Canada, excluding Quebec.
“The preliminary focus for Koala Insulation in Canada will be on opening and expanding nationally, starting with the Ontario market,” says Ian Gordon, COO, Koala Insulation Canada. “We are beyond thrilled that our first Canadian franchise location is now a reality and are looking forward to making Koala Insulation the go-to choice for those seeking top-quality insulation and a more healthy & comfortable living environment for everyone, from environmentally conscious homeowners to construction professionals alike.”
The brand ranked #147 on Entrepreneur Magazine’s prestigious Franchise 500 list, and #1 in the New and Emerging Franchise category in 2024 is ready for the Canadian market.
“The vision for Koala Insulation is to become the trusted leader in Canada for residential, commercial & industrial properties. We are excited to be the first to bring the brand’s proven model for excellence in service for delivering high-quality installation, customer support, and commitment to innovation in sustainability to the Kitchener-Waterloo area,” adds Prittie.
Justin Prittie has found success within the franchise space, owning and operating a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® KCW franchise for the past 12 years, another franchise system under the Herity umbrella of brands. After seeing a growing demand in home efficiency in Canada and a need to reduce greenhouse gasses and support the environment at the same time, Justin and Greg, both seasoned business owners, aligned with the brand’s promise to deliver on a high bar for customer satisfaction, and provide versatility and value through eco-friendly insulation services.
“With Koala Insulation under the Herity umbrella, it has provided an incredible foundation of trust, integrity, and a forward-thinking approach that aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver eco-friendly, energy-efficient solutions,” adds Quaile. “Herity’s long-standing commitment to quality and innovation empowers us to expand with confidence, knowing we’re part of a larger vision focused on creating sustainable, comfortable living and working environments for customers across Canada.”
