Five Star Franchising Expands Leadership Team to Support Growth Strategies

Five Star Franchising, a dynamic player in the home service franchise sector, has announced a significant expansion of its leadership team. This strategic initiative aims to boost growth and enhance performance across its various franchises. The announcement came during the Home Services Summit 2026, an annual convention that unites franchise owners, corporate members, and partners, held recently in Las Vegas.

The newly introduced roles focus on structural adjustments within Five Star Franchising to provide stronger support to franchise owners and drive growth initiatives. Key appointments include Ben Fox as Chief Growth Officer, Andrew Mengason as Chief Revenue Officer, and Colt Florence as Chief Development Officer. Each of these executives carries substantial experience and has been instrumental in steering Five Star Franchising toward its current trajectory.

In his new capacity, Ben Fox will spearhead enterprise-wide growth initiatives that facilitate strategic marketing and expansion efforts for the franchise. Andrew Mengason, in his role as Chief Revenue Officer, will prioritize enhancing system-wide performance. His focus will include leading national account programs designed to amplify referral and revenue opportunities for franchise owners. Meanwhile, Colt Florence will manage franchise development across the swiftly expanding portfolio of brands within the company.

In a statement about the reshuffle, the company's representative stressed that this new structure reflects the resilience demonstrated over the past few years while setting a clear vision for the organization's future. The team is well-positioned to explore exciting new opportunities for the Five Star system, aimed at bolstering local owners' growth while expanding national accounts.

These recent appointments add to an already robust executive team, featuring experienced professionals such as Chad Jones (Chief Operating Officer), Steve White (Chief Financial Officer), Shane MacKay (Chief Technology Officer), and Matt Morrison (Chief Legal Officer).

The changes underscore Five Star Franchising's position as a leading entity within the home service franchising sector.
