Retail/service franchise Poolwerx has added a location in California’s Coachella Valley.

Claro Pool Services, a 16-year-old company in Palm Desert, signed on with Poolwerx, the Australian franchisor that came to the U.S. in 2015. Poolwerx refers to its new partner as “one of the largest mobile service and repair businesses in SoCal.”

Stephen Little, Claro’s CEO and founder, is expected to open three retail locations in 2017.

This latest partnership brings Poolwerx’s California presence to three franchisees running 16 territories.
